Herbal magic weight loss

has anyone here ever tried herbal magic weight loss program? I am thinking about it but not sure of it will effect my ulcerative colitis? They told me it won't bother me and they go through my doctors but I am still being cautious.

Never tried it, I'm always hesitant to try and weight loss program that isn't simply eat healthier and workout. All the other ones I read about, seem to have a high faliure rate after a few years, as its hard to maintain that sort of lifestyle.

That being said I have never heard of this, and do not know what it is about. Mind explaining what it is?

Save your money, you will have to buy many different supplements to get you going.  My Sister in law dropped alot of money on herbal magic and I dont think she looks any slimmer to me.  Many of those supplements can be bought in a health food store for alot cheaper.

Weight watchers has a excellent program and you eat normal food, no supplements, pills or special foods. They teach you portion control, keeping a food journal,  healthy eating habits, exercise and making the right choices when it comes to food.

I've been a lifetime member and the program does work.

the program Herbal magic says I can eat what I want but they teach portion control, healthy eating and reduce sugar, starch and fats. The replace these things with alternative healthy foods. Like changing butter for coconut oil. Going with old grains instead of wheat. Replacing potatoes with sweet potatoes. Now there are supplements they want me to take( there is the money part) and I HAVE to drink a min of 8 glasses of plain water. I have no problem going with this company as long as I am healthy. I just wanted to know if anyone who had UC had done this program. I have tried weight watchers and with no success as I can't eat their food. I even did the points system and was only able to loose 15 pounds then nothing. I have a lot of weight to loose and working out and eating right is not helping in the least. When I am having a major flare I put ON weight even though I am in the bathroom more often then not. To say that I am fustersted is a huge understatement. Sorry to rant I am just sick of UC and what it has done to my life!

linden: do you know what is actually in the supplements, or is it a closely guarded company secret? I wouldn't take any herbs unless I knew exactly what was in them and had researched it. The bottom line is you can't pay someone money to lose your weight. You've already discovered that and it won't be any different this time. In the end you will only be lighter because your wallet will be lighter.

i guess my only question is why do you want/need to lose weight ?

Hi Linden016
If found it hard losing weight and also having UC. Not really overweight just not where I would like to be. Just started losing some weight by eating a lot more protein less carbs. Your anti depressant might not help with your problem . Sometimes they make you pack on the pounds. You might look into that. Paxil did that to me when I was on it. Had to get off of that!

linden016,

If you want lose weight and feel you need a "supplement" to help you, you might want to look into "Raspberry Ketone" at http://www.ketoneformula.com/ I came across this the other night. What makes me think it has legitimacy is that Dr.Oz had a segment on his program about it, and he thinks it is a good product to "get you started" on the road to weight loss. You can view the Dr. Oz segment and read an article here: http://www.doctoroz.com/videos/miracle-fat-burner-bottle 

 

The supplements are what I would have an issue with. Who knows what's in them, but my guess is they are designed to amp up your metabolism, which will cause you to drop weight. However, who knows if they'd eff with your UC and they're pretty much guaranteed to cause you to gain all the weight back, plus some, when you stop taking them.

Have you talked to your primary care doc about your weight issues? Have you had your thyroid function checked?
