Does weight loss cream work?

A friend of the wife's sells all kinds of creams and pills in her beauty and health store in the Philippines. I have just seen that she is selling weight loss cream. I've never heard of it before, so I'm wondering if it is just one of those products that people buy who are gullible, or does it actually work? I have no idea what the ingredients are, but obviously people are buying it regardless of what is in it. Does anyone here have an opinion on it? I would hate to think this friend is ripping people off.

Can you lose body fat by not eating very much food for a week or so?

I think its called fasting or cleansing your body or something? Today I've only had a small slim jim and a salad and its almost supper time, I drink plenty of water and don't drink pop or anything that has sugar. Will I lose fat and weight if I keep this up for a week or so?

How to Lose Weight Fast Without Buying Anything

Recommended Answer:

Actually, you lose more water weight and muscle tissue than fat when you cut calories to low (or out completely)...so there is some weight loss, but not so much fat loss...your body also tends to regain the lost weight (as fat) fairly quickly when you start eating again as it will store extra calories for future famines...

Other Answers:

• Actually, that will cause you to GAIN weight! Do not do that!
• When you start eating normally again the weight will go straight back on...it's pretty useless
• No
• I've been fasting ever since I was a little girl, naturally that is. My body just tells me when I'm tired of food and I will not eat for 2 or 3 days. Of course I have to drink Juices and water but I don't have to eat. I am really fine. I notice it is really good to balance my mental health. My digestive system and to cleanse my stomach and just my entire being. I noticed that when I used to eat meats as a main course in a meal a lot then I would want to fast more. But now that I have a fish diet on the weekdays and whatever I want to eat during the weekends, then I fast less. I love fish! lolFasting to loose fat is very much possible. I will gain about 2lbs of fat over a span of maybe 6 months and when I fast for about 2 or 3 days every 3 months (this is my bodies natural rhythm, you'll have to find your bodies natural rhythm) I will loose about 1.5lbs of that body fat. I am a petite person, so this will vary depending on what body type you have. I wouldn't suggest fasting for a week. That is a long time to go without food and it begins to make your body unbalanced. If you're new to fasting, I wouldn't encourage that. Do this: Eat fish and romaine lettuce (mixed with corn, or beans, or your favorite healthy stuff ) during the week. Then on the weekends eat controlled portions of things you like, meats. Fast once every month for 2 to 3 days. You will start to notice a difference. Drink water and Juice like Orange juice to keep you alert. You can even drink Almond Milk...they have a chocolate flavored one that I LOVE! lolI wish you well on your weight loss, just don't be extreme, because extreme measures that push you past your limits will always have a reverse effect.
• Not much. Yes you'll lose some weight, but odds are you get it one afterwards if you start eating like before when you put weight on.
