Xls Medical Tea

[Ric.ror]

Just seen an advert that says (I think) clinically proven to aid weight loss

Does anyone have any thoughts as I’m struggling and I’m really not overeating or under moving

A mate of mine (really!) tried the XLS stuff. He lost weight because it gave him the screaming abdabs - what the Germans call DurchFall. As soon as he stopped taking the stuff, the weight went straight back on again.

It is basically a Laxative! So you go to the loo and get rid of food before you have fully digested it ! There is ONLY one way to lose weight , eat less !

It would seem to fall within the type of products referred to within this article (which mentions another XLS product):

As it appears to be based upon green tea, this is well worth reading too:

You don't have to eat less...cut out the carbs though.

Have you tried the NHS weight loss plan?

lol, would you buy a weight loss plan from a bloated health service...

I was diagnosed type 2 (it’s a family thing) but lost enough weight to not have to take tablets (I take one BP tablet a day but want to get off that too)
I walk at least 3 mile 3 times a week and really don’t over eat but I do believe I have a slow metabolism for instance every day I have a salad for lunch and breakfast is 10 prunes (for bone density) and a snack sized cheese - then a slice of toast for elevensis

[pastafreak]

It may sound odd...but you may not be eating enough, or the right foods for bone density.
Instead of prunes (dried fruit is full of sugar )and a tiny bit of cheese, try a full fat yogurt with some nuts and seeds.
Make sure you get enough protein via dairy and good quality meat, plus dark leafy greens.

By how much are you overweight?

[Ric.ror]

No Pastafreak - that doesn’t sound weird because that’s exactly what the dietician said to me
I’m 5’6” and weigh 88kgs - I was 93kgs and got down to 84.5 but have put some back on
