Magilim Craze for weight loss

Had not heard of Magilim before. But I've checked online. Main Ingredients: Konjac Glucomannan, Chromlum-Accumulated Yeast, Chitosan, Vitamin C Konjac Glucomannan is a sugar/starch used as a food additive harvested from the Konjac plant grown in China, Korea, Taiwan, Japan and southeast Asia. "When ingested, it turns into a gel-like substance able to expand up to fifty times its weight, causing a feeling of fullness, which prevents over-eating. It is also a fiber that improves stool transit time." Approved for treatment of constipation (@Mawinder ako wapi?) and lowering cholesterol. Well, there are many publications and studies about it. And it seems to work: "The use of glucomannan significantly lowered total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, body weight and fasting blood glucose." Taken as two 500mg capsules, 1 hour before each of the three meals per day, with 250mls of water. If you take it for 8 weeks, you will lose approximately 2.5kgs. If taken for 16 weeks, average weight loss (without changing lifestyle and exercise) is 4.5kgs.Safety? Side effects? Long Term Adverse effects? Not much on that. Maybe because it is a sugar (cellulose). The greatest risk is when it is not taken with enough water since it causes blockage and choking. How much does this Magilim cost? And how does one know it is in fact the "ORIGINAL" Magilim? Set out to correct the world's wrongs and you will most certainly wind up adding to them.

@kelele ....at 110Kgs these energy, metabolism and
whatever-fad-is-out-there pills won't do much for you. You know what you need to do, eat less, move much more, and do not set unrealistic short term weight-loss goals (like wanting to fit into a certain dress by July).
But probably will not heed this, so take the short cut to end all short cuts and see a plastic surgeon about liposuction (with its attendant risks) ...they say if you want to eat a toad, select a fat and juicy one

@kelele.com Have you heard of Ayurveda, the ancient Indian "medicine" Its principle is very simple, one has to balance the dosha vatta, pita and kapha, its the secret to longevity. Learn how to incorporate it in your meals and life. You may need to research more. "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear. The problem is you hope when you should fear & fear when you should hope: - Jesse Livermore

Instead if risking side effects, go the physical way n hit the road... I soo agree with Washiku, There is no short cut- Just hit the gym. And have a complete overhaul of your eating habits. I did so from last week after I read the thread on Wazuans keeping fit. Otherwise even if you do this Magilim thing- you will soon go back because of those bad habits- Change behaviour permanently!!

my main problem with these Chinese drugs is that you cannot even trust that the ingredients are what they claim to be,
You see, if the drugs contain a known banned substance, you do not expect them to indicate it on the label, so relying on what is written on the label might mislead you.
Having said that, i think magilim is a 'fat binder', a drug that binds food/fat together to prevent absorption, and some of its known side effects are abdominal discomfort and constipation, the sellers say that these side effects are present only for the first few days.
otherwise,
it is very distasteful for anyone to ridicule anyone because of their size, or any body part of which they cannot easily change
many of the overweight people you see around are conscious of it and struggle with it everyday, mostly likely you 'slim' person hasn't done anything special to deserve your 'perfect' size, many of the naturally fit people still engage in unhealthy eating habits and lifestyles, but God gave you that body that you consider good.
I know, there are people who are overweight because of bad eating and being too lazy for exercise.
but many others are overweight for reasons that are almost entirely beyond control.
so next time you call someone 'momo', note, you didn't do God any favour to have a good body, tomorrow you could be in an accident and be crippled for the rest of your life

It's a glucose that cannot be digested by most animals including man. Converting starch into glucose and storing it as fatty acids will hardly strain your liver or your kidneys. subzero wrote:my main problem with these Chinese drugs is that you cannot even trust that the ingredients are what they claim to be,
You see, if the drugs contain a known banned substance, you do not expect them to indicate it on the label, so relying on what is written on the label might mislead you. That's the biggest problem! Knowing that what you are ingesting is actually the Konjac Glucomannan. Chinese stuff can be deadly. And they are too many unscrupulous traders who will sell you chalk or funny herbs. Losing 4.5kgs in 16 weeks isn't worth taking these funny herbs. Set out to correct the world's wrongs and you will most certainly wind up adding to them.

Wee wacha... size ni effort ya mtu.... God provides you with height, width ni effort..... Wacha mambo ya being crippled.... kwani weight ni "uwete" (kiswahili ngumu). You put everything through your mouth wewe mwenyewe unless it's a medical condition.... over-eating/gluttony is actually "condemned" in the bible so hiyo story wachana nayo.
