I'm trying to find out if diet pills are really effective and safe, or they are just another excuse for sellers to get your money.

If they are sold over-the-counter or on TV and say "these statements have not been evaluated by the FDA" don't waste your money. If they really worked, they would have gone through clinical trials.  And any diet pill that offers money for testimonials...if it works so great why do they need to pay MONEY for stories of how it works? Shouldn't it work great for everyone?\nThere are many prescription diet pills that work in different ways. Your doctor can help you chose one.  But if you get an appetite suppressant, for instance, and you eat out of boredom and not hunger, it won't help you.

Hi, I'm skeptical as well.  But I thought I'd try it out.  I ordered it and it took almost 3 weeks to get.  I've been on it for two days and I've lost 4 lbs.  (not sure if this is coincidence or the product, too soon to tell.)  I will try to get back and post again at the end of my first week on it.

I was thinking about going thru it. Did it work 4 you? Did you loose weight or was it a scam.

I do Xango.  I tell people about it only when I hear that they have a health ailment.  If they don't ask for more info, I leave it alone.  I am NOT pushy.  It can help so many things it sells itself.  I don't need to push it.  People try it once and just keep ordering, and sometimes they start to sell it too and I make money from their sales.  It is pretty lucrative, especially when they sign up someone else.  There really is nothing wrong with MLM, it seems to work - the @sses leave it alone after they have bugged to many of their family and friends without sellling anything, but the good ones just keep quietly chugging along....

No diet pill is good to use to lose weight if you want to be healthy. The best way to lose weight is to control your eating habits, eating healthier, and exercising. Diet Pills are not 100% safe or effective you know.

Yes it is. They don't know whether your prescription is true or false. While they have unscrupulous doctors who write prescriptions for them you pay much more than you would at the chemist. At worst, they put you on a "sucker list" to receive spam between now and forever and you don't get your pills. Either way, you are better off seeing your pharmacist.

HOODIA IS A CACTUS AND THE SAN PEOPLE IN SOUTH AFRICA'S KALAHARI DESERT  USE IT TO BY CHEWING THE STALK  BEFORE HUNTING TRIPS...IT SUPPOSEDLY CURBS HUNGER AND THIRST.  I HAVE SEEN REPORTS ON PBS AND OTHER SHOWS THAT IT DOES WORK.  THE PROBLEM IS IF YOUR BUYING IT IN THE FORM OF A DIET PILL YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE REALLY GETTING.  THERE HAS NOT BEEN ALOT OF STUDYS DONE ON LONG TERM USE OR EVERYDAY USE. SO I WOULD SAY IF YOU WERE GONNA USE IT FOR TWO WEEKS AND YOU DON'T HAVE AN ADDICTIVE PERSONALITY AND YOU ARE USING PURE (MEANING THE ACTUALLY CACTUS) I WOULD GIVE IT A TRY.  BUT THE DIET PILLS ARE SCAMS.  AND AGAIN IT HAS NOT BEEN TESTED SO YOU ARE TAKING A SERIOUS CHANCE WITH IT BUT ULTIMATLY THE CHOICE IS YOURS...

Hoodia is just a new diet pill, like all of the others.  These diet pills like Hoodia, Xenedrine, Metabolife, Hydroxycut all have a great deal of ingredients which are not safe.  The majority of their ingredients are herbal and plant based but there safety and long term effects are just getting to be discovered.  And when taken in large doses, these ingredients are not safe.  Also, many diet pills are not quality assured, so what is on the label is not necessarily in the pill.  You should be highly cautious of such supplements.  Anything that claims loosing inches in a very short amount of time, or guarantees results or your money back is a gimmick-just be aware, and be safe.  Before taking such supps, you should know your family history of heart disease and stroke because these supplements will increase your risk for these.  Proper nutrition and exercise are your best bets.

I don't think it's legitimate.\nI did the questionnaire. No where does it ask how tall I am, what I weight, my body fat percentage or any "real" information that an actual study would need.  (I did try to enroll in a real study of weight loss at a hospital so I'm familiar with how it works.)\nI wrote down the confirmation number and took the survey again. I used all different answers. The confirmation number was the same.  To me, that's bogus.\nI did a quick search on "dietstudy.com and scam" and found out that when you call they ask for $300 upfront to "enroll" in the study.  No legitimate scientific study asks for money.

The cheapest and safest diet pills DO NOT EXIST.\nThey are all a rip-off, and each has its own dodgy side-effects.\nThe best way to lose weight is by going to your GP, asking to see a dietician, and following the diet sheet he/she gives you.\n(so says a 16 ½ stone lard-bucket!)

i don't think you would need the diet pill if you are dieting and exercising.  keep your head up and smile.  write your feelings down if you are starting to get discouraged.

Well I can't find the site you were on but Orthosiphon is just an herb that company's are putting into there weight loss pills. If they are not giving you a lot of info on the product I would stay away from it. If you want a recommendation I did some research and I right now am taking lipo6 from nutrex. I have not been taking the recommended doses cause it strong stuff and I am trying to get use it to. I need to step up my work out but it seems to be working. Check out GNC.com and see what out there. You can get stuff there for like 40 buck and get it right away instead of waiting for shipping and paying for shipping

They aren't "healthy", they effect your central nervous system.  Your brain stem.  Your nerves, tissue and every other organ that's related (your whole body).\n\nThe worst part is that users don't learn self-control so when they stop the pills they return to their old food choices and regain the weight they lost.  Then it starts all over again.\n\nBetter to find a diet you can stick with.  If you like slow loss, try Weight Watchers, if you like fast loss try Kimkins, if you think exercise is the way to go (slow loss), buy/rent some exercise or yoga DVDs and try them for 2 weeks.

I have tried a lot of different diet pills...some of them worked and some of them didn't. I had gotten to the point that no diet pill would make me jittery and 7 vasopro would barely do anything. Ok...so around feb I decided I wanted to lose like 10lbs(aka winter coat), but the whole cutting back on calories, and upping work outs wasn't working. I ended up ordering Venom by ALRI....well...my 10lbs flew off and turned into 20lbs. The main thing the pill does is supress your appetite...you have to eat...but you are going to have to remind yourself...I am serious. The two things I didn't care much for is that you absolutely should not take it after noon,you won't sleep, and your mouth get super dry. I did notice that I could focus on things a lot better and my energy was outrageous. I believe that they changed the name to Venom Hyperdrive and they now have a pill that goes with it to help you sleep, which I have not tried. I have been off them for about a month and my weight is the same.\nI hope I helped...and I am sorry if I upset anyone for seeming pro pill. I grew up on herbal supplements...and have studied the uses/effect of many different herbs...so I tend to think people freak out a little too much when it comes to diet pills(not all of them). Well.....good luck...

They don't work. Sorry, but I not only took them for 6 months, I also sold them as a "home business". They really are a con, and I hope you can lose weight healthily as I am now doing.
