A friend of mine who was desperate about gaining weight did gain weight when she bought a medicine from Chinese drug stores in Binondo, some time in 2006. She swears by the medicine and even our other colleagues who bought it also gained weight and were happy. I wish I have the same problem. Unfortunately, I’m at the other end of the spectrum. Despite their raving comments about medicines they bought from these Chinese drug stores, I’m still very hesitant to buy diet pills on those stores. Not because I’m discriminating them or I have anything pejorative about Chinese people or Chinese products. I guess losing weight is just more complicated as compared to gaining weight, thus my reservations.
I guess there’s really no short cut when it comes to losing weight the healthy way. Dang! It really means strictly adhering to your diet and exercise routines. One word: Discipline. Tsk, where do I buy that again?
