| Hi everyone, I have just started taking Reductil (only on my second tablet 10mg). I have read a lot of your comments and i dont seem to be noticing a decrease in my appetite! I assume this will happen over the next few days/weeks?? I am living on salads for lunch and in the evening eating jacket potatoe and salad and snacking on fruit which i am completely happy with. Does it take time for the Red to kick in? |

| Hi all.I hope your all feeling well.My periods were nearly 10 days late this month.I started reds the week they were due.Its because of the change in your body that they are late.Its like when your ill,but i think once your body adjusts they ll settle down to a regular cycle. |

Hi Bernadette,
Thanks for your reply, I am starting to feel a bit better today, after having porridge for breaky i havent felt my normal morning munchies!! LOL and its nearly lunchtime and not hungry, though i will eat a salad wrap and see how i go. I weigh in a weight watchers tonight so hope to lose something, thoughi t wont be due to the reductil as this is only my second day. Hopefully the tiredness goes soon as i hate being tired!! Ive booked into the docs on friday to make sure the glands in my underarm are ok, just is strange that today they are sore and never have been before and i took my first tablet yesterday, hopefully it calms down and is nothing nasty :( best to get checked out though |

hey mel...
um im not a docter or annything, but mayb ur periods being late can relate to a change in ur body...increased excerize and change of diet, also eating less...or possibly even stress.... is this a concern to ur docter?

Hello
My doctor said that even if you arent hungry, eat just a little bit, to keep your metabolism going. If you dont eat anything when you come off the tablets your body may be in starvation mode & store the energy as fat. The idea (in my opinion) is to reduce the amount of food your body thinks it needs, which will have you eating less, which will shrink your stomach, and give you time for you to adapt to new eating patterns. Good luck with it : ) |

Hi!
I've been on Reductil for nearly three months and I've noticed some great results so far. I highly recommend these tablets to anyone who's wanting to lose weight. But I would suggest the higher dosage. I orginally started on the 10mg, but found they didn't do that much for me.
Anyway, the main reason for my post is to ask the question about periods. I'm currently over a week late. Has anyone else experienced abnormalities with the menstrual cycle? I'm usually very regular, even though I'm not on the Pill. I've done some research, but all I can find is references to menstrual cycle disorders. But nothing to say what these disorders are!
Any feedback would be appreciated!
Thanks
Mel |

hey everyone...
its me again just keeping you updated...
im now on day 14 and have lots 4kilos...YAY!!! i was aiming for 4 kilos in a month so its great to have lost it in half the time!!! i lost 1kilo in the first week and 3 the next...i barely eat however im not completly on a diet. i eat wateva my mums making or avaliable at work trying to avoid anything to fatty or carb filled.
i havnt stopped pasta if i eat pasta i eat a child size bowl with some salad and im fine. The reds effect everyone differently and so does the food intake and exersize...so do what u feel is working, if one week you dont lose much try different foods the next....
keep up the great work everyone and dont give upp!!!! |

| Hi All.I've not been on for a few days as i was at a wedding and celebrating loosing 5 lbs in 1 week.I said i wasn't going to weigh myself until i completed 1 month but couldn't wait.Hope everyone that started this week are keeping well.That light headedness is from lack of sugar so a cup of sweet tea or a square of chocolate should help. |

Dear Ryan3mandy,
Give them a go, you have nothing to lose but all the weight that has been holding you back. When you say you don't like healthy food what do you mean? I think the reductil is great in that it helps you by suppressing cravings for the rubbish that we were all partial to (otherwise we wouldn't be on this forum!) Healthy food doesn't mean you have to survive on lettuce raw carrot sticks and celery!!!
Why don't you try an omelette with a small amount of grated
cheese and ham in it? This could do for any meal of the day.
Try a grilled steak with any veg on side. I find that avoiding or reducing potatoes /chips/rice/pasta has really helped in the battle of the bulge. I know find that I am satisfied with a small portion of the above rather than all that carb taking up half the plate!
Try and up your fruit intake, I don't mean munching on boring apples, go to the effort of making a beautiful fruit salad for the fridge, so that it is always at hand.
I love a chopped orange with a yoghurt on top. I feel if you could up the fruit and veg a little you may take in some of the minerals and vitamins that you are lacking in that are causing the cravings for the unhealthy options!
I always carry a bottle of water in my bag or car, I feel with the dry mouth I drink loads and I am seeing the benefits in my skin and hair.I am on the reds 10mg 2 months now and have lost 17lb (7.7kgs.) I feel great, I am fitting into my old clothes, people are starting to really notice the loss of flab!
Just one more thing to speed up the weight loss you should try to exercise, I don't know where you are starting at but even if you went out your front door and walked briskly for 10 mins and turned around and walked home and did that every day, it would make all the difference. It would get you of the couch, a bit of fresh air ,clear the mind, get the old heart pumping and help you to tone up the wobbly bits! Please don't give up before you even start! YOU HAVE TO DO IT!! |

Hi Ryan
I am on day 3 of the 15mg (10mg did nothing at all) and I have already lost my appetite and have dropped 2 lbs but nto sure if that is the reductil or my increasesd activity on the wii fit!!
Give them a go... I eat quite healthily normally, definately incorporating fruit and veg into my diet each day and I still couldn't shift the weight. I think reductil will help with the cravings and stop obesessing over food.
Good luck!
Eve |

Wow you weight drop is very good. I only started the 15mg on Thursday as the 10mg did nothing, and I have really completely lost my appetite and have already lost 2lbs in 2 days.. I am amazed!!! The only thing I have got to stop myself doing is eating for eatings sake even if I am not hungry, like this lunchtime, my husband was hungry so we went to McDonalds and I had a happy meal... even though I wasn't hungry.
Nice to see such inspiring comments! |

Hi there
I have been reeading all these messages as today is day one for me . But I am excited by what is in store. I know and believe this will work wonders for me. When I read your post , it really spoke to soul. I am also a 103.5 kilo person right now. I have a 6 month plan to help me shed the kilos and achieve a more healthy balance for myself . I suppose even though I am excited, reading some of these posts are quite scary and off putting. But qwhen I read yours I was inspired to pursue , regardless. Bring on the side effects I will ride this crest of the wave until I reach my goal . well done on your loss , you must feel fantastic...... |

Hi Bernadette,
My energy also has not kicked in, i feel quite normal. I have lost my appetite slightly but i do still get hungry. I am on the 10mg, and this is my 8 th day. I think i have only lost .5 or 1 kg so far. Im hoping to feel the effects a bit more, if not maybe i will have to up my dose to 15mg.
Its a weird feeling not not being so hungry but i still have a tendancy to want food that i shouldnt be eating, i hope this goes away because my biggest vice was snacking, i just want to be satisfied with 3 small and healthy meals a day.
It has been extreamly difficult for me to loose weight, i feel like i was doing all the right things as far as eating healthy, controlling my intake of food and exersizing, but my weight will not budge and fluctuates so much.
I hope that reductil helps shift the weight and that when i go off them i wil be able to stabalise my weight. I am keeping a food diary recording what i eat and at what time of the day, also what exersize i have done and what time i did it. In the future i will be visiting a dietician so i can talk about my diet and ways to stabablise my weight.
Cheers, stef. |

| Edited to say, took about 7.30 am this morning, it is now 1.52PM and I ate my roll but not because I wanted it but because I didn't want to waste it... so has curbed my hunger which is suprising. Does the euphoric light headed feeling go away.. I quite like it!! |

| Hi, I a new! My name is Eve and I have just taken my first 15mg... I got a very woozy and lightheadedness about me this morning and I feel really elated, like I have done a month's worth of happy pills! Is this normal? I have a BMI of 36% and want to lose 4 stone (56lbs). I do eat quity healthily, but was prescribed Reductil to help me feel fuller quicker and not eat such large amounts! |
