Simply a Rose to brighten your day,         And maybe lessen the cares in your way;         And also, too, to help you to know,         That in knowing you, many others grow!

  Your profile shows you with a birth date that makes you 18. If it’s wrong then you need to contact editor at http://www.funadvice.com/email/compose/editor and get her to correct your birth date.

It says not to take if you are under 18. That doesn’t mean it is okay to take 1 per day instead of 2, it means NONE per day. The reason is that your body is still developing and can’t handle that particular drug without possible complications.

“What should a minimum calorie intake be?”

As a guide to minimum calorie intake, the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommends that calorie levels never drop below 1200 calories per day for women or 1800 calories per day for men. Even these calorie levels are quite low.

  2. We can’t diagnose, treat, cure, prevent, or give proper medical advice here.

Locking this, talk to your doctor.

Answer #3

but I’ve taken these pills before and I was like 12 or mabye 11 and I didnt feel anything. im 5’7 and weight 185 pounds and I really want to lose weight and I dont have a eating disorders lol =P

Answer #4

You should take 1! Because when it said if you are 18 that means you are bigger and have a more mature body that can handle 2 pills! But if you are 13 then 1 pill would be enough! You don’t want to hurt yourself!

Answer #5
