Hi
I'd appreciate some advice, please. I was tempted to buy XLS Medical Fat Binder Tablets from Boots but having searched online, I see that Amazon sell the 180 packs for half the price. It's not diet advice i'm after, but how on earth Amazon can sell a genuine product for 50% less? (This is from Amazon rather than Marketplace).
Many thanks

For the same reason that Amazon can sell anything else half the price of Boots or anyone else - economies of scale, low overheads, no retail premises, etc.A kind word lasts a minute, a skelped erse is sair for a day.0

Turn the question around. Why do Boots sell many products at such higher prices than their competitors? Because they can... and sadly, so many people pay them, although it's probably why so many of their branches are empty nowadays.0

Or! ... And I know this will sound MENTAL... But you could just change your diet to a healthier one and not suffer the vile side effects of fat loss pills!!0

I assume you do know the how these tablets work and the side effects of taking them?0

Save your money. I bought a 10-day pack from Boots, been on them for a week, and they have made no difference whatsoever. I'm already on a reduced-calorie eating plan and haven't changed my eating habits. I bought these pills because my weight loss has been "plateau-ed" for 8 weeks and I'm trying anything at the moment to boost my results.

They are working for me, so far I have lost 2½lb. It's 12 days since I started but I'm not even counting calories, just cutting down. Alli did nothing for me yet when I was taking them I was counting calories.
I bought mine from Amazon, Boots are too expensive.0 -
You'll be losing weight because you're cutting down, not because of the pills.
They're Chitosan, they can bind about half their own weight in fat on the way through if taken with a meal.
For example, that means if you have a portion of chips, you'll bind about 1 chip's worth of fat.
Save your money and join a gym instead.

Hi HBS & thanks, I bought 180 but I'm only having 4 per day, my third meal is fruit only. I want to lose about 25lbs so the XLS may help me get there.
I hate Gyms, they bore me rigid, I walk a little but lazy is my middle name...
Edit.
I have been reading up Chitosan. So is it blind faith that's helping me?
Whatever it is, it's working.
Back again,
It says Litramine on the box - ?
Again, my thanks. :T0 -
I'll have a neb in some lab books for Litramine when I get the chance
Thought about a structured workout? I enjoy the gym when I have a target but no motivation if not, I found the Beachbody workouts good.

I was a Gym member for about three years, I left and then a couple of years later forced myself back to please a friend .... lost money that time! My friend stuck it out but now she's a stay at home like me.
I'll finish the pack of XLS then reach my verdict.0
