  Hi,
  
  To slim down, first of all, are u really fat? What's your BMI ( use your weight divide by product of your height. If the result excess 23, then you are over weighed, if not, then don't bother to slim down )?
  
  Second, how determined are you to slim down? 1 week, 1 month or 1 year? I know of people who grow fat again after they have successfully slim down. They gave in to junk food and "laziness" to exercise.
  
  Third, go for the natural way of slimming. Exercise and food intake will do. Slimming pills are for those who give excuses to this and that.
  
  Last, Good Luck!

  definitely ad.
  
  would it brings more commercial sense to invest on a celebrity who is plump with extrim and hoping that she will slim down after a month or two, or would it be easier to find someone who is already slim?

  Guys and gals have different sense of what is fat and what is thin...
  
  Usually.....when a gal think she's fat....guys think its just right....when a gal think she is just right....guys think she is too thin.....
  
  Anyway....tat was alittle off topic....my fren once wanted to get ex-trim...so she pulled me down to see it with her....quite some time ago....
  
  If i m not wrong...those with seafood allergy should not take ex-trim cos it has an ingredient (Chitosan) which is derived from shell-fish...
  
  Another important point to note is .... chitosan works by binding fats...therefore....in extremem cases where your body loses alot of the fats...there is a risk that u will be deficient in certain vitamins such as Vit A.....which are only soluble in fats....
  
  There is also a possibility that once u stop taking it....the weight will return.....are u ready for a life-long dependence on such products??
  
  It is not only putting a strain on your health....it is also a great strain on your wallet......
  
  Thus...it is always advisable that u have a balanced diet and exercise regularly instead of relying on such products...Maybe cut down snacking as well as eating smaller proportions of food....
  
  Well....all girls will always be complaining about their wt....but do not take extreme measures....you have to think of the effects 20 yr down the road.....
