Hello.
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The first line of management should be diet changes and exercises.Every other way to lose weight won't work without proper diet and regular exercises.
You should avoid fatty ,processed foods ,eat mostly vegetables and fruits.Eat small frequent meals instead of 3 major meals and drink plenty of water.
-You should exercise everyday at least 45 min a day.
It would be good to consult a nutritionist to help you with a diet plan to follow.
-Garcincia Cambogia Extract is a natural supplement used to lose wight.
Several studies have somehow proven it's safeness because there aren't reported serious side effects.The problem is these the results of these studies are controversial regarding the effectiveness for weight loss.
This supplement is considered safe so you can try it and see if it works for you.
If it doesn't seem to help you can try the prescribed medication Adipex .The recommended dose for it is between 15- 37.5 mg a day.
Hope it helps.
Let me know if you need further help.
Kind regards,
Dr.Rovena Murati
