So I have high blood pressure, doc wants to give me meds!

If somebody is overweight, then generally that's because they consume more calories than they use. We are really really good at storing excess calories and energy supplies!

Personally, I would just make sure that I am using more calories than I eat - usually by expending more energy through exercise - or by eating less calories.

I don't know you well ykdadamaja, or how overweight you are or anything, so this can't be specific to you, of course .... but I would be quite suspicious of 'miracle' fat burning pills. How do they work? What do they do?

Presumably they raise your metabolism in some way so you use more calories? That just can't be very good for you if that is the case?

You could try eating some food that has been handled by someone with amoebic dysentery instead? You will then just shit out all your food before you can store it as fat. I had this last year and lost a stone in 4 days. That's probably just as good for you as a fat burning pill 😀

They are more energy boosters. They are for intense cardio and exercise, which I have been doing, but still am not losing as much weight as I want. I HAVE to cut back on the calories, no ways about it. Started cutting my meals in half now, so let's see if that works. I think I REALLY was eating too much man. Way too much!

Like, instead of having a single decker sandwich I would have a triple decker. lol... instead of two slices of pizza I would have four....instead of three strips of meat with my meal, I would have four or five. Things like that.

Eat a good breakfast and then less for lunch and dinner.

Exercise on an empty stomach and watch the weight fall.

Disclaimer BTW: if you get a heart attack we accept no blame for listening to X and I.

Some people run higher genetically but high blood pressure can be a factor is strokes. If 140/100 is unusual for you at least consider the pills for a period of time as you work on it naturally. Just don’t want to see you stroking out and drooling on your key board, strokes are scary

I think I will with the pills. But will wait a while before I get em.

I'd trash the fat burner pills and change some behaviors and patterns. Slow and steady rather than crash through dieting. I dropped 60 lbs a number of yrs ago on cutting the booze, daily dandelion root a natural diuretic, apple cider vinegar, almonds and grape fruit and bicycling all over . Mental adjustment and stamina are just as important any plates you push over your head or the extra mile. Going up four flights of stairs and not being winded for once was a decent motivator.

I just remembered I started eating garlic salt again. What a dummy I am. I stopped eating it a few years back for the same reason, because I found out that it with salt and other seasonings raises my pressure. I threw out the bottles a few days ago and started cutting my meals in half and eating vegetable plates along with meat instead of the rice, potato salad and macaroni and shit like that. Let's see how this pans out.
