    I have been starting to hear more and more about drugs of this sort. The catch is that your weight will jump back as soon as you stop taking it.

    To me, it seems like a profitable way to treat obesity for Big Pharma. * trying to help people not become obese in the first place, let's make a drug that they need to take for the rest of their lives.

    Taking drugs should always be a last resort, but I do think some people need a help.

    When you are overweight one of the hardest things to do is get active and involve. People feel ashamed, embarrassed and not capable of physical exercise. If they managed to get their weight down a bit then things that are too difficult now become possible.

    I would hope weight loss drugs would help kickstart a healthier lifestyle rather than depending on them to control weight gain in a bad lifestyle.

    Eat less, move more. It's thst simple! The amount of obese people that just don't get this is insane!

    Plus eat the correct foods. Humans don't get obese if they eat the correct foods in the right amount. Easier said than done thou for most.

    Do people still take speed. I haven't heard of anyone taking it in years. I remember the kgs of base stamped. The stuff would cut the stomach of ya. Took it after 1999 Scottish cup final when the Huns beat us , was up for days and couldn't eat properly for a week. Worst come down ever and I haven't touched it since. Horrible stuff.

    Yes they do. Its more difficult to get than in the 90s (so I've heard....) . Yes it will completely destroy your stomach lining. But it is amazing for decorating your house. It also makes you impotent but * as *, which doesnt work well together

    Horrible *, I spent a few years on it. Perfect drug for working in busy kitchens when you're literally running about like *. The come down after plus no sleep is a *. It's still easy to get, just ask some young Polish people that like to party. Don't know why, but 90% of all the Polish people i know, or have met, love their amphetamine big time

    I lost 10kg easily within 4 months (from 65kg to 55kg).

    Drink 500ml of water 15 mins before every meal
    Drink 350ml of Oolong tea while eating lunch and dinner

    Bigger lunch and smaller dinner

    Eat nothing after 8pm



    Quite easy!
