Just read article in DM about this (i think) new slimming pills. Apparently Mica Paris was using them and she lost two dress sizes in two months.
I am currently 110kg Shock and i used to be 68-75kg pre pregnancy weight (youngest dd is 7 and a half) and since then weight was just piling up until it reached 110kg.
I have to lose weight,i have to. I tried some other things in the past and low gi diet helped me to shed 10kg in 8weeks,but i lost motivation and got back to same thing.
Can anyone give me some good kick advice,how to motivate myself,how to find that inner strength to do things in a right way.
My BIG downfall is eating late ,especially when i come from work (9pm) and over the years it became a habit!!!!!!!!
Are this pills ok and did anyone used them???
Thank you for your time!!!!!SmileSmile

Hi there, has anybody tried using xls medical whilst on a low carb diet? If so are the results good? Thanks guys

judybaker44 · 16/09/2013 10:23

Back again ... still loving the XLS medical ... kept the 1 stone off ... and heading towards the 2 stone mark ... but its blinking hard work ... calamity 14 ... yep on a low carb diet and seem to work ... constipation is a bit of a worry but some prunes usually helps x .. good luck darlings keep me posted !!

sammbell · 19/09/2013 16:32

It's working for me too...after 4 months I've lost nearly 2 stones. Like I said in my previous post I wish the was a similar unbranded alternative which was cheaper because XLS Medical is far to expensive - the mark-up must be huge. According to this page the lowest price is 17.5 p per tablet - which is over £1 a day! Googling for alternatives just turns up loads of spammy pages trying to get me to buy Proactol - which is just as expensive :(

mummato3 · 21/09/2013 00:21

I'm very tempted to give these a go. Have lost a stone so far by eating healthily but just want a boost really. I have noticed some have said on here that you can get them on Amazon for £18, I can't find them that cheaply on there. Has anyone else got them that cheap?

Midwifeandmum · 21/09/2013 16:34

I went to boots today and bought the 20 pound pack. Fingers crossed these work. I need to loose a decent amount of weight. I usually loose it with a good diet but this time it aint working. Best of luck all xx

unquietmind · 28/09/2013 19:49

I've been taking the fat binders for 2 days. I took 2 pills pn the first day spread out amd two together at breakfast. I feel highly anxious and became panicky when out shopping (not me at all) I feel nauseous confused a little out of it and not hungry. Bit worried actually. Anyone else had this as its not things that are in the main side effects...? Cheers

MumblingMummy · 21/10/2013 15:35

Has anyone tried the alternatives to XLS such as Alli or Xanical or Orlistat? Are Xenical and Orlistat just higher doses? I think I might give this a try to try to shift my muffin top for Christmas.

marina24 · 29/10/2013 08:08

sorry last message was for fuckity not the rest of you guys he,s at the beginning

pumpkin1986 · 01/11/2013 22:38

Can i just say PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT OFF AMAZON. THEY ARE FAKE AND HAVE FAKE 5STAR REVIEWS. HENCE THE UNBELIEVABLY CHEAP PRICE!
My sister brought xls from boots and lost a stone in a month. She then brought a batch off amazon and had zero success. The reviews at the time were saying the same, defo fakes. Best to pay a little extra and ensure your getting the real thing IMO.

Also to the above poster alli, xenical and anything with orlistat in defo works. I had alli lost 11Ib in one mont without even changing my dieth and had xenical which is prescription only but oxford pharmacy online sell it. It was very pricey but i was desperate and it works. Only thing is the side effects are epic so i can only take them on weekends when not at work! Alit of oily flatulence and uncontrollable fat releases but i soon came to appreciate thay thos is a good sign its working!

I have just ordered the xls carb reducer (in the post) does this also reduce appetite or is it just xls appetite reducer which is bought separately? Many thanks

Trongalaxian · 24/01/2014 18:52

I found XLS cheapest on the Weldricks web site £23.90 for 120,going to start them on Monday.
It says do not take if you take cholesterol tablets,but when I asked my pharmacist he said it's not a problem,any one any ideas on this.thanks ?

angie09 · 25/01/2014 01:01

I will look at weld ricks site not sure about the cholesterol but I'm sure pharmacist would know what he is talking about

jules247mum · 22/03/2014 09:21

fizzasgirl · 24/03/2014 16:33

deels · 03/04/2014 09:46

Speak to your gp - heart issues and diet pills are a bad combo.
