I'm not a big fan of diet pills as the majority of them do not work. However, after a tearful meltdown at the mall (not being able to fit into clothes) I marched into the vitamin store and purchased a diet pill "system" with 4 different types of pills. The instructions are as follows:
Before breakfast:
2 capsules #1 (thermolean)
2 capsules #2 (bio cleanse)
1 capsule #4 (omega lean)Before lunch
2 capsules #1
1 capsule #4Before dinner:
2 capsules #2
1 capsule #4After breakfast, lunch and dinner
1 tablet #3 (hydro balance with potassium)It seems to be an insane amount of pills to be taking... Have any of you tried this? Could it possibly work?

I'm not familiar with that particular vitamin regimen, but I'd recommend using some combo that's consistent with your eating habits and personal nutritional needs. I really like a book called "The Diet Cure" by Julia Ross which has suggested vitamin, amino acid & mineral supplement regimens for people with different nutritional needs - not just to lose weight but also to conquer food addiction and improve overall health. The only real drawback I've seen is that it's not totally vegetarian-friendly, but if you're a vegetarian I think there are ways around it. I used it when I was withdrawing from gluten (the theory is that foods you're actually allergic or intolerant to can become addictive) and it helped so much.
take care,

Malls are difficult enough in themselves without going to the extra length of having to buy clothes, especially ones that don't fit.
I never really had that problem but I bought heaps of clothes (including expensive coats) because I was so keen to get out of the shops.
I try to salvage my sanity in malls by asking scarcastically if I could be directed to 'what passes for a bookshop around here' and stuff like that.
