Lipotropic Injections (repost from H&F)
I've never been one for "get skinny quick" schemes. I know it's all about calories in vs calories out, eating right and exercising. And I've been doing that and lost about 20lbs in 2 months. But I feel like I've plateaued and have been looking in to something to jump start the weight lose again. There is a deal on Groupon for Lipotropic Injections. Here is the link that explains more: Groupon Deal
Anyways, has anyone heard of this? Pros and cons? Just another scam?
Thanks!

Re: Lipotropic Injections (repost from H&F)
I don't know if it works or not, but "surgical/injectible" procedures are not something that I would buy on groupon.
If I were to do something like this I'd rather pay more and look up a reputable doctor and clinic rather than some "cheap" good enough place.
IMO groupons are meant for restaurants and tickets, not for medical procedures.
when you plateau, try altering your diet..your body is getting "used" to what you're eating....
i don't believe in any diet schemes. healthy amount of calories in, calories out.

this.
and this, sorta. i never used to believe in diet schemes sorta things until i tried hcg.. i'm not done so i can't totally say it's the sh!t but so far its amazing. if once it's over, i gain the weight back, i'll let you know. but i tried this one because my best friend had amazing results on it and a few other people i know through other people have had incredible results as well. my friend did it, cheated a bunch on the diet, and ate regularly right afterwards and never gained weight back. she was off for 2 months and is doing another cycle with me.
when i used to workout and track my calories only, i used myfitnesspal.com and followed that religiously. it's really helpful. also, try not to eat the same foods each day, or try the zig zag thing so your body doesn't get used to it.. i also drank more water and put freshly squeezed lemon on my food/water and that really helped with water retention.
GL!
This, except that i think source of calories (whole foods versus processed) has a lot to do with it, too.

This is exactly what I think! Of course you're going to loose weight, you're starving yourself. I've read studies where people who used the HCG and those who didn't but ate the same stuff lost the same amount of weight.
I know it's probably rubbish and I just need to do it the hard way. Poop.
Thanks for all your tips! I'm just so tired of dieting and working out. And I'm not dropping the weight as fast as I did in the first month so it's depressing. It's hard to keep going when it takes so long to see results.
yep, that's what it is! it is a hormone drop (well that's the form i'm taking) that is the same hormone in preg women that if they don't eat when they're hungry, it uses their own fat for fuel for their baby. yes, it isn't proven whether the 500 cals is why you lose weight or if it's the drops.. but obv i'm losing weight because i'm not eating that much... however, there is NO way i could lose as much weight as i am. either way, i usually wouldn't do it but my best friend and other people i know did it and have had great results and it's been a couple years for a few people i know and they still don't gain! we'll see though.. it could be the biggest waste ever but it's worth a shot IMO. i'll update you guys though!
wait, if i don't eat enough, my fat stores will be burned? sweet. now if only i can get myself to not be so hungry all the time.
