I am over weight from my meds and have a hard time lossing weight , so I started taking all natural weight loss pills . I researched well before buying them and found them to be safe .
Once I started taking then with in two weeks I could not sleep and my heart was racing and I found my self in a depressed mood as well as manic . I stopped taking the pills and in two day I can feel my self getting better again .
So I guess what I am saying is all natural does not always means it is ok for a bipolar person to take . We need to remember that our system works different and we need to be careful what we take or it can give us systems we don't want .
Does anyone have any ideas on weight loss
I'd first advise getting a
blood test to check for food allergies. These can cause you to gain weight because of your body reaction to allergens.
Eat small portions. Do not drink anything when eating. Or if you have to clear your palate take one or two sips of water only. If you consume liquids while eating you'll [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] the digestive processes in your stomach when the enzymes that are released so as to break down and absorb food nutrients end up floating in a vast liquid/food soup.
Exercise. Walk, find online exercises at your desk that you can do. If you burn more calories than you consume you'll lose the weight.
For the person who was taking the Bio-Lab Diablo product, it contains Ma Huang. Which is ephedrine. No longer able to be manufactured in products due to its properties being used in the ephedra form to make crank.
Ma Huang is a stimulant, a vasoconstrictor,(constricts blood vessels) and is great as a decongestant clogged nasal passages. However, it can over stimulate the heart because it is an herbal upper but because of the upper or increase in metabolism and the constriction its properties cause at the same time, it is not advised for those who have high blood pressure due to the constriction of the veins and therefore the impediment of blood flow combined with blood thinning and increase in heart rhythm.
It is never recommended for obese people due to high blood pressure symptoms, which Ma Huang will exacerbate.
The Diablo product also contains White Willow Bark. Which is natural aspirin, which is a blood thinner, which will also effect high blood pressure symptoms. Especially if one is already on a prescription medication to treat HBP.
These combinations, Ma Huang and White Willow Bark (Asprin) on an obese person can cause havoc with the heart rhythm. But because of the
upper effects on the body it restricts the hunger pangs and depletes appetite.
Other side effects, besides heart arrhythmia, insomnia, from prolonged use of Ma Huang, is chronic constipation.
