Answers: Many weight loss pills only work by curbing appetite. But the fact that you're so active means you need to eat a lot of protien and even carbs to ensure you can keep up. Others also work by reducing the amount of water in your system... again not a good idea if you are working out... you need to have as much water to feed your muscles as possible.
Generally, women need to increase their strength training(lifting weights, squats, etc.) and protien intake (shakes immediately after working out) to increase muscle mass and speed up metablolism to burn fat better. For some, (and it sounds like you too), cardio does almost nothing to burn fat. I guarantee if you focus more on strength training, with only light cardio (20 minutes of walking), your metabolism will shift in about 2-3 weeks and you should start loosing weight.
If you still want to try a weight loss pill, i've seen some results with "slim quick", but it's expensive and you have to remember to take it on a regular schedule - which many women also don't have the luxury of. Also watch because some types of pills are addictive and literally the minute you stop taking them you gain it all back.
I've also heard of some health benefits packages covering the costs of gastric bands or other surgical procedures when it's necessary to prevent serious illness or injury... check that out with insurance companies in your area. Source(s):
I had the exact same workout regime as you, and possibly a very similar diet. The fact that it didn't work only discouraged me and I actually gained weight. It wasn't until i started building a lot more muscle mass that I saw any results. Keep up the good work and don't get discouraged -- remember it takes women almost three times as long to lose weight than men. no weight loss pills will work they all a scam no i dont but slimming world has saved me from weight problems if u like ur food You don't need pills, you need to go see a psychiatrist. The problem is in your head. Fat Metabolisers from Holland and Barrett worked quite well for me. Normally they're about
