Are they safe?

[Deeplysatisfied]

My DD 16 wants to lose weight. Although advised against it i can't really stop her. She has recently bought some 'fat metaboliser' and 'green tea' pills from Holland and Barrett. They were approximately £12 for each bottle so I was wondering if any of you have had experience with these and what the outcome has been? I don't want DD to get ill or lose too much weight

According to the website they work in conjunction with a 14 day diet plan. So I suspect the answer is totally safe and totally ineffectual.

Correct. Green tea does so little as to be useless. There are two types of diet pills that work - the ones that make you leak fat from your rectum and the ones you hold beteeen your teeth.

Big high street names are not above selling snake oil. She's wasted her cash. Consequence of not listening in science lessons.

Show her the programme on last night about How to eat Heathily and tell her to save her money!

What tv programme was this bigTillyMint?

The Truth about Healthy Eating. It was on BBC1 last night so you will be able to watch on iplayer. Haven;t watched it yet but a few people have said it was good.

I would try and persuade her to follow a healthy diet.

Yes, it put loads of myths to bed.

the ones you hold between your teeth

I've seen chemical free contraceptives like that you hold them between your knees

Glad someone got it..
