> but i need a f*cking breakI have found a diet that gets pounds off no matter what drugs you use. You need fiber. A glass of metamucil 30 minutes before each meal. Also go high protein, mod good fats (omega 3's) and low carbs (keep them complex). Also before you're biggest meal not only have metamucil but a big salad also. The roughage keeps things moving and many calories are not absorbed. They key is the metamucil 30 minutes before each meal. Will not only keep you fuller but will absorb many of the your calories.

If I take any of the fiber products, it sets up like concrete in my gut and makes things worse. Takes a "keg of dynamite" break it loose. I have tried a bunch of them, and get the same reaction. It does not increase peristolic action of the intestine, so it just sits there.
