Slimming Coffee VS Proper Diet + Exercise: which is really effective?

[snooky]

There are popular threads about slimming coffee and plenty have gotten good results and lost weight without diet or exercise.

There are also those who work hard at the gym and put much effort to maintain a proper diet and lifestyle.

Which of these two methods do you think is the real effective way to lose fat? (no clever answers like BOTH ha)

[annehall]

Of course nothing beats proper diet and exercise... kaya lang it's time consuming.

Kaya nag coffee ako ngayon. Before ako start nung coffee regular exercise ako everyday, kaya lang kakatamad na and yun nga minsan busy.

Kaya happy ako may slimming coffees hehe

slimming coffee - effective initially. but there are certain individuals who develop tolerance. and it's risky to take on a long term basis, because we really dont know the real substance in it.

diet + exercise -  results take a while, but can be done for lifetime

i guess maganda ang combination, take the slimming coffee as a booster. then maintain with diet and exercise.

[skye*]

Okay let's get into a more realistic case.

Most of us are busy with work/family/friends/business and we don't have time for exercise. Some may be really good in time management and they can do proper diet + exercise.

Like my cousin a few months ago, he was really active in sports and does outdoor activities during the weekends like hiking and Frisbee. He goes to the gym 3x a week and gets to eat proper diet. But time came that he was really busy for work. (Hindi naman napipili kung kelan ka magiging busy for work diba? And yung work is work) So hindi niya magawa yung usual activities niya. He still tries to control his diet but gained weight a lot.

But this depends on the lifetyle naman ng tao talaga. But the thing is some people chooses to take slimming coffee not because they want the easy way but their spare time doesn't allow them to have proper exercise.

Sabi nga saken once ng isang kakilala ko na doctor, huwag ka mag-gym if hindi mo kayang ituloy tuloy kasi once magstart ka dapat tuloy tuloy kung magstop ka tataba ka.

For me, the slimming coffee is just a helping aid to those who needs it. Kagaya nga ng explanation ko sa kabilang thread..
Why do we eat plenty? Its because our stomach has expanded and so there are more storage to fill in but while taking the slimming coffee you can practice to discipline yourself to eat less and in due time your stomach will slowly shrink to the proper size. So in time that you wanted to stop taking the coffee, discipline lang yung need mo na every time kakain ka.. kainin mo lang yung kaya mo para hindi magexpand ulit yung stomach mo.

We all have different views on this and this can go into hundreds and even thousands of pages but whatever the answers here may be.. it is YOU who will decide for yourself and for your own body. No one can dictate the other what he or she should do to his or her body because we all have our free will.

I've made a list to compare the two. Which do you think really works?

Slimming coffee:

- No Hard work needed
- Lose Weight without exercise
- Lose Weight without Dieting
- No research or scientific studies
- Not regulated by BFAD or FDA
- Claims to have a herbal ingredient (No Proof) that suppresses appetite
- Associated with a wide range of mysterious side-effects
- contraindicated for kids

Diet + Exercise

- Hard work and discipline is needed
- Lose weight with proper diet
- Burn fat with exercise
- Backed up with years of medical research
- Promoted by Doctors
- Great for overall health physically and mentally
- Good for all ages

Please have an open mind and practice critical thinking. Pretend you're not a seller or supplier.

syempre better ang proper diet with exercise
lifetime ang benefit nito
di tulad ng mga slimming coffee na di pa ma say talaga kung ano ang effect in the long run
pero kasi ang hirap ma achieve
tulad ko, exercise lagi tapos diet tapos naaawa ako sa sarili ko di ko makain gusto ko, di naman pumapayat kaya try na lang din ako ng slimming coffee
pero kung may epektong maganda itong slimming coffee, after ma attain ko na [textspeak!] goal ko, imemaintain ko naman to ng proper exercise na

[jafi19]

No doubt- diet and exercise.  But it takes discipline.

(Although umiinom ako ng slimming hehe)

[thebratinella]

proper diet and exercise talaga pero for people like me who spend ages working out and dieting before seeing results, kelangan magtake ng slimming pills/coffee/supplements. ang hirap magpapayat lalo na if slow ang metabolism.

[linacheng]

Naman,siyempre proper diet and exercise. Pero aminin na natin hindi naman lahat ng tao eh kaya magpapayat kahit sabihin naman natin na discipline lang ang kailangan saka kung gusto mo talaga magpapapayat.

[ellix]

proper diet.
lahat ng fast routine mag rebound lang.
kasi hindi matutununan yung change ng lifestyle.
kaya lang hindi kumain dahil wala gana dahil nung product at hindi dahil ng self disipline

[charmed_chic]

I go for proper diet because this is what I do. I still go for this. Kahit nga seller din ako ng mga food supplements (note: not slimming ek-ek), our company still promotes proper diet and exercise because we know that nothing beats these.

[blackroseMD]

Diet and Excercise padin!
Matagal pero may results talaga, lalo na pag may tamang diet at program training... Sa ngayon, na attain ko na yung normal weight ko,.. Pero still I'm aiming to lose 10 lbs more, may pustahan kami ng kuya ko, I can't lose!!! hehe!

I've tried a certain brand of slimming coffee, grabe yung headache, di ko kaya 2 sachets lang nainom ko sinunog ko na [textspeak!]!... diba kaya nga [textspeak!] nagpapapayat, to be healthy... Tapos yung coffee na yun, it seems like its killing me... Mahina pa naman ang tolerance ko sa headache... Ibig sabihin its really not safe to take those coffees. At least na try ko yung coffee, walang what if sa back ng mind ko...

[honeyjeoffrey]

proper diet and exercise. although i took slimming coffee din after giving birth. naka ilang boxes din ako kasabay ng diet and exercise na nagresult sa gastritis. but now, i know discipline is the key kaya na maintain ko na yung payat na dinulot ng slimming coffees na yan. Moral lesson: Exercise, proper diet and healthy lifestyle like less smoking (much better if quit smoking) and drinking will result in a healthy you.

[buddybuilders]

nothing beats good old exercise and proper diet.

all these slimming coffees, pills, 3 day diets only work temporarily, if at all. All they do is shock your system by increasing metabolism or lowering your calorie intake, which isnt really healthy at all.  Besides, these are things you can't stick to for a long time anyway.

we'd all love to "fast forward" to a sexy body. but not even surgery can promise lasting results without maintenance of a healthy lifestyle.

[craziestqueenever]

Proper Diet and Exercise is much better! Slimming Coffee do have a rebound effect.

[neyvillones]

this is a no-brainer...PROPER diet and exercise beats all slimming aides in the market and will surely make your internal organs happy.. especially your liver.

[annn]

not eating at night is the best ...if youre really really lazy just exercise at least 3-4 x a week 30mins to 1 hr
i dont really suggest full on cardio. i did that before..it just made me hungry and cranky. i think doing weights is better
proper diet is kind of hard. its so expensive to buy the "right" foods, if not very cumbersome to prepare.

[rae]

I think REAL effective way is dedication to healthy diet and exercise. It's the only way to lose and maintain weight.

I know sinasabi nila walang side effect or something. But I don't think drinking slimming coffee is sustainable. Like forever na lang iinom... It will not work and it's bound to make 'bawi' on your body.

Pwede siguro, slimming coffee muna pero after that, diet and exercise. Kung walang time, well, ganun talaga, we should make time. I saw a photo of Donnie Tantoco of Rustan Supercenters and his wife Crickette. They're so lean kahit both are very busy businesspeople.  They find the time to exercise. They inspire me.

Plus nakaka-happy ang exercise e. So kelangan talaga gawan ng paraan. May times na nahihirapan ako, I try na lang to take the stairs instead of elevator, mga ganung practice.

[snooky]

^I agree sis, you really need to make time.

Kahit may work ka at pamilya, you need to set aside time to exercise. Love yourself first so you can take care of other things better.

[rae]

^totoo yan. When we're at our best, we can take care of other people better

Sabi nila, myth lang daw ang 'too busy'--it means there's something wrong in how you handle things in your life somewhere.
