bangkokbutcher Posted July 19, 2003 Report Share Posted July 19, 2003 Hi, sorry for the slightly off the beaten track of Thai related drugs and diseases. But this I just had to ask. A friend of mine has just purchased 3 months supply of some wonderous 'diet pill' from some auction site in the UK. Not sure how much he paid but thats irrelevant anyway. Now call me a scrutiniser, but do these things really work?? The magical ingredient claimed to work wonders is 'Garcinia Cambogia' along with 23 other powerful fat burners. Has anyone ever had any good, bad or indifferent experiences with this type of product? Because I am sure my mate has been taken to the cleaners, or at least ripped off. Just trying to find a way to take the piss out of him when I see him next week. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 20, 2003 Report Share Posted July 20, 2003 I took garcinia for a while. Had f**k-all effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangkokbutcher Posted July 20, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2003 Thats exactly what I thought! How the f*** do these companies get away with making claims like these..according to the tablet container you WILL lose 5-7lbs per month. Geez, I am just glad I have never been 'sucked' in by some of the cliams that get made by some pharmacuticals (sp?), OK drug companies... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pe7e Posted July 20, 2003 Report Share Posted July 20, 2003 Ask yourself this? If you were the owner of the formular for a diet pill that actually worked and could be sold direct to the public without the need for a prescription or liscensing. Why on earth would you market it in small quantities via a two bit auction site when you would have the supermarkets and chemist chains beating a path to your door cheque books in hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangkokbutcher Posted July 20, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2003 Now that was more like the answer I was looking for and I must admit, that I never really looked at it from that angle until now. Thanks for your comments... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 23, 2003 Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 i don't know about those ones, but the only diet pills i have ever used was as a speed substitute... dunno, but if it is nothing with your glands or genetic than i guess the only thing which works is eating right and do some hard exercise. personally, i think boxing is the quickest way to loose the pounds.

BTW, did they work?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pe7e Posted July 24, 2003 Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 There are 2 types of diet pills that actually work, 1lb a day loss is possible, both require a prescription in the west, but are readily available in BBK Type 1 'Zenacal' works by limiting fat absorption in the intestine, downside cost and oily shit. Type 2 'pentamine' basically an amphetertmine and appitite suppresant. Downside includes high blood pressure, low sex drive, headaches and potential heart valve problems. Have fun.

Hamokhamok Posted July 24, 2003 Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 Oily shit. Now that conjures up all sorts of things. Does this mean the shit will float. Is the oil inflammable - do I need to stop smoking while I'm having a shit. Or will be enough not to wipe my arse with the same hand as I'm holding the cigarete in. I'd go for the oily shit by the way. The other tablets seem to be a danger to your health. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah come to think of it, I have heard of that Zenacal one, I am sure that it was on the UK news some time ago. Not sure how it worked though, but you have summed it up. Anyone ever suffered from 'oily shit' before?? :: As for the Pentamine, and the side effects on offer from that one, I reckon you would be better off on a diet of deep fried pork fat and chicken skin....much less painful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
