It's not a huge assumption when it's the truth, but go ahead and keep telling people to buy Bronkaid from the pharmacy.

If it's the truth, then you should be able to cite me some actual scientific research (preferably peer-reviewed) proving it.

I'll wait here patiently.

Thanks, I will...though don't forget the caffeine to go along with it as that is pretty important. Unlike you, I prefer to stick with actual science.

Obesity and thermogenesis related to the consumption of caffeine, ephedrine, capsaicin, and green tea. - PubMed - NCBI

Epsom salt is just MgSO4 (magnesium sulfate) so I fail to see how it would have much effect on body weight.

Good to know that other people know those aren't good ideas.

Thanks!

Eating fiber rich foods that are naturally low in calories will help you lose weight. Beans, vegetables, fruits are all helpful and healthy for you. You will feel full and your body will have the nutrients you need to function. Be sure to drink plenty of water so your body can continue to feel full. The fiber will help your body rid itself of toxins and you will feel great!

I agree with everything except the 'rid your body of toxins' part. This has become a catch phrase that is inaccurate and pointless.
Our livers and kidneys work to eliminate toxins. They do not need fiber to do their job.

OP, ask your doctor about Contrave, especially if you find that you eat to relieve stress, or eat while you're stressed, or reach constantly for "comfort foods."

Contrave (Weight Loss / Diet Pill) Information - Drugs.com

Not recommended if you have high blood pressure - or some other conditions - but it can be effective.

I forgot about that one. I know bupropion (one of the drugs used in Contrave) was briefly mentioned in Lyle McDonald's book on bromocriptine as a drug that may have even more profound effects.
