There are other weight loss medicines: “Xenical”, “Meridia” and others. Have you taken it?
– Yes.
– By medical prescription?
– No, on my own. I took “Meridia”.
– Did it help?
– Yes, I dropped a good deal of weight, but I was also “coded” at that time.
– Oh, were you?
– I took a coding procedure long ago. So, I decided to add pellets at the end of the coding period.
– As a rule, the effect of the products is either negligible or absent. It is useless. What was your result?
– I don’t remember exactly. But it was not great.
– “Meridia” is off the market right now. It has too many contraindications and side effects.
– What about “Xenical”?
– It doesn’t go well with fatty food. You need to quit one or the other, fatty food or “Xenical”. Can you guess what people usually choose? They say farewell to “Xenical”. When taking the pellets and eating fatty food, you often face the problem of getting to “porcelain bus”, to W.C., as soon as possible. People get terrible diarrhea. It takes a lot to wash away the “pebble dash” from the toilet bowl. If it happens when you are at somebody else’s house, they’ll never invite you again. My clients complained to me about it.
N.B.! Rule four.
A slim person doesn’t believe that coding, “magic” pellets, medicines, herbs, and liquors can help to achieve and maintain an ideal weight. One prefers to change nutrition, mental mindsets, lifestyle to become slim easily and joyfully.
Teas, elixirs, BAAs.
– I tried it all.
– Did you succeed, Snezhana?
– No. I took apple vinegar with honey in the morning.
– In what proportion?
– A tablespoon to glass for a month.
– And?
– I lost about ten pounds.
– In my opinion, you shouldn’t drink vinegar, guys. Imagine someone asking you: “How about a glass of vinegar in the evening?”
– ☺
– The body starts losing weight in surprise. You have no idea what comes into the mind of people who try to drop weight. But by and large, all these pellets – number one weight loss pills, as they try to persuade us on T.V., do not help in the long-term period! Name at least one medicine that helps you both to lose weight and maintain the result for a long time.
– My daughter tried “Swallow’s Nest” or something like this. A sort of slim tea. But it’s tough. Intestines are almost get knotted.
– Yes. So, you know how it works.
Reflex therapy. We have already discussed it – needles, cautery, impact on biologically active points of the body, and so on. But the effect is temporary. How many pounds have you lost this way?
– Twenty pounds.
– Did you gain them back?
– Yes.
– So, you got these twenty pounds back anyway. And I guess it’s your fault partially.
– ☺
– Enemas. That’s obvious. People torture their weak bodies in any possible way: stick with needles, stuff with pills, and other things. At first, your body starts to lose weight but then gains it again. The reason is simple. We’ve got not only body but. What else?
– Psyche.
– Precisely. Some call it consciousness, the others – psyche or soul, but it’s no matter how you name it. It exists. Why do we know that it exists? It makes itself felt from time to time. In what way?
– Mood.
– Feelings.
– Yes, feelings. It either bleeds or fills with joy and soars in the sky. Then something else happens. Sometimes we get stressed. “Stress” is one of the favorite words in the modern world. The body responds to environmental changes. Everything is changing. Sometimes these changes are critical.
Marriage is a source of stress, isn’t it?
– Yes.
– It’s stressful. Divorce?
– It is stressful too.
– Funeral, moving, new job – they are all sources of stress. We constantly have to adapt to the changing environment.
N.B.! Rule five.
A slim person knows how to manage the response of his body to stress properly and never comforts himself with eating.
Do you usually adapt easily? Successfully?
– No.
– Things often don’t go our way, and we feel bad about it. What negative emotions do you usually feel?
– Low spirits.
– Melancholy, insomnia.
– Anger.
– Anger, rage. What else? The most typical ones?
You feel offended because something goes wrong. “Everything must be different! She shouldn’t act this way and say such things. They shouldn’t…”
You feel guilty because you had to do things differently, but you couldn’t.
Anger, insult, guilt, uneasiness. Loneliness in the crowd. There are so many people around, but you feel lonely. Do you know this feeling?
– Yes, and pretty well.
– Uneasiness. It’s not clear how it will end up, but you want to know it immediately.
What is the easiest way to repress all these negative feelings? Comfort eating. Food is…
– The answer to everything.

Stress, adaptation. Only the laziest does not use these words appropriately and inappropriately! In the dissertation “Dynamics of the body’s sensitivity to certain hormones in the course of adaptation” (1985), we demonstrated that during the three stages of stress, when adrenal gland hormone production decreased dramatically (Hans Selye considered it to be exhaustion), hormone system is not exhausted. It works differently!
The sensitivity of cells with hormone receptors and their response to hormones have changed. A small dose of hormones causes over-response in some organs and reduced response in others, while there is no response at all in some other organs and systems.
Besides, it turned out that the metabolism of the whole organism also changes. The body has reduced oxygen consumption at rest and at work. It led to the accumulation of a fat mass of trial subjects. Many gained up to thirty-forty pounds over the winter.
Such changes were associated
