Once again I have been plundered with questions for the best way to slim down. This time however, it is not from my weight conscious friends but from my own younger sister. I happen to be a rigorous and active athlete since primary school until I just decided to end my running days, non stop prancing around the fields and imagining my most irritating teacher as my target while I throw my javelin. I always advice people especially kids to never take supplements that can reduce your weight drastically.

I have always believed that no matter how many pills and supplements that promises fast weight loss you take in, doesn’t grantee that you are in fact losing your fats the healthy way. There is no such thing as slimming down in such drastic period of time and maintaining the weight for months. And just because you did lose your weight after taking in those fat burners doesn’t mean the fatty acids that is clogging your arteries and mass fat surrounding your organs are gone.

In fact, I have seen for myself the result of a friend of mine taking in slimming pills went wrong. Instead of targeting the fatty areas she had wanted to lose, the pills had targeted her breast and bottom. There goes her perfect cup size and derriere. She had wanted to lose the fats on her tummy, thighs and arms but got something else instead.

It also has brought my attention that more kids are taking in dietary pills. These pills are only meant for adults my dear, not kids, not teens. Kids are still young and the only way and the best way to lose those extra kilos and cellulite is to exercise.

Exercising is not difficult. Even walking to school or your destination (if your destination is around 2km) is the easiest way to lose them. Plus it doesn’t cost you a cent. Eating right is also part and parcel of the whole losing weight program.

Lessen your intake of junk food, fatty food and consume more food that has high in fibre and munch on those greens. I have to emphasise how important to have your greens. The vegetables are your friend and it’s these vegetables and fruits that you get your vitamins from.

If you really need to slim down and really need to take in those pills, consult your doctor. You may never know if you have an allergy towards any of those pills that you will consume.
