This question comes up all the time on here. No they do not work. If you read small print they only claim to aid weight loss. You still have to exercise and eat healthy which works on its own. People must be made to understand, fat takes time to build up and time to lose. Its hard work but that is the penalty for overeating and eating Junk. Adverts are always Glossed up, dont be taken in.\nPlenty of water to wash out your toxins, plenty of healthy\nfood, no salt, no sugar, no fat, no so called Diet Plans and lots of exercise to Burn off your Fat Store. Think about  the time it took to gain the weight, its always quicker to lose it. Most important: Be honest with yourself about your eating habits, some people, and they know who they are, always cheat or give up to easily. Nobody ever said that losing weight is easy. Its not, you have to work at it.                 Good Luck

NO!  Diet pills do not work.   There are none that work.

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.

If it's some kind of drug (over the counter pill) it won't work. The best way to lose the pounds is to eliminate all sugar from your diet and replace it with cheese, lots of water, nuts, fruit, veggies, lean meat, and a good source of supplements right for your particular body (see a good Nutritionist) and the fat will melt right off.\n\nStay away from: BREAD, PASTA, FRIED FOODS, FAST FOODS\n\nHead towards: ORGANIC FRUIT, MILK, CHEESE, MEAT, VEGGIES\n\n\nSAMPLE DAY MENU:\n\nMorning: EGGS, GRAPEFRUIT, WATER (Floride free)\n\nSnack: NUTS, FRUIT, CHEESE, WATER\n\nLunch: SANDWICH WRAP WITH LETTECE: PUT ANYTHING YOU LIKE IN THE LETTECE WRAP; WATER\n\nDinner: Lemon Chicken over the stove with Olive Oil; VEGGIES; NUTS; WATER\n\nCARRY A SMALL COOLER IN YOUR CAR WITH SNACKS LIKE; fruit, nuts, and bottle water if you get the urge to eat.\n\nThe first two weeks are very hard; but it begins to get easier and easier. Then you notice a difference in your eating habits and choices. It's a great feeling with YOU are in control and not the FOOD controling you.\n\n\nI exercised for 10 years, 3 or 4 times a week just to stay at my comfortable weight......I spend so much time obsessing over my body.....I had no time to live a normal life; but when I took on my own 'formula' ...IT WORKED!!!\n\nAfter about 3 weeks.......I WAS MELTING THE FAT ALL OVER MY BODY!!! EASY! TOO EASY!!\n\nI don't even call it a diet. It's a NEW LIFESTYLE!\n\nI feel like I can really live! Really enjoy life! And enjoy eating what's best for my body!\n\nAre you ready to take on the challenge?? I dare you!\n\nWARNING: After eliminating all refined sugars and sugar free items (substitutes are the worst kind of sugar: they make you fatter), GET ready to have some major headaches. Try to drink plenty of FLORIDE FREE water at all times. The best bottle water is AQUAFINA.

Fat burners are not a waste of money for people that need a bit of an edge.  Yes, it is true that diet and the right exercise plays a huge role in reducing body fat, but fat burners DO WORK for many people if you take them correctly.  They do help kick start your metabolism especially if taken in the morning on an empty stomach followed by aerobic activity.  I've tried all the one's you mentioned and others.  Some may make you feel more jittery and others outright nauseous.  They all pretty much do the same thing.  I found HotRox to be fairly effective for me, but Hydroxycut also works well.  Lipo6 made me feel a bit nauseous if I take the dosage they recommend, but it works well too.\n\nDon't get hung up on brands as they all are fairly equivalent.  It's how you take them, when you take them, what you do after you take them and what you eat that is far more important than the brand of fat burner.  That I guarantee.

Well I've taken plenty of diet pills and most of them have ephedrine or are caffeine based products.\n\nI would get really shaky and hyperactive and by the end of the day i was extremely tired. So worn out.\n\nI never lost weight, but some of them do work if you exercise and drink plenty of water.\n\nRead whats actually in the pills and investigate the side effects of each ingredient.\n\nBe safe and eat healthy!! :)

just recently the FDA warned 16 manufacturers of weight loss supplements for making exaggerated, unsubstantiated claims about their products. \n\n"These products give unfounded hope to people who are attempting to lose weight. False and misleading claims have significant health consequences to individuals that may be overweight because these products do not produce the desired results..."\n\n\nWhat Are Fat Burners?\n\nFat burners are essentially pills which contain certain herbal ingredients such as Ephedra, HCA, Chitosan and Pyruvate, all of which claim to either increase energy, stimulate your metabolism and/or suppress your appetite. \n\nThe Dirt on Fat Burners \n\nChitosan \n\nWhat it is: A substance derived from the external skeletons of marine animals, such as crabs (ew!) \nWhat it does: Chitosan binds to fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E and K), which prevents the body from absorbing them. \nWhere it lives: Twin Lab's Diet Fuel With Chitosan, Biotech's Fat-B-Gone With Chitosan \nShould you take it? That's up to you. First, there's a concern that Chitosan impairs absorption of carotenoids which the body converts into vitamin A. Second, most experts agree that Chitosan simply doesn't work. A handful of studies suggest that Chitosan might help trim fat, but these studies have not been published in peer-reviewed journals such as JAMA. For more info, see WebMD's take on Chitosan. \nEhpedra \n\nWhat it is: A powerful herb grown in Mongolia and China. Ephedrine (an extract of Ephedra) is an amphetamine-like compound which stimulates the nervous system and heart. \nWhat it does: An effective treatment for asthma, allergies, and sinus problems. Usually marketed for weight loss, performance enhancement, energy, or body building. \nWhere it lives: The Original Formula One, Ripped Fuel, Muscletech's Hydroxycut \nShould you take it? Um, not without some good research. Since 1994 the FDA has received more than 800 reports of adverse effects associated with products containing Ephedra. These include: high blood pressure, irregular heart rate, nervousness, insomnia, headaches, heart attacks, seizures, strokes and death. What's scary is that many of these problems occurred in young/middle aged, healthy adults who used it for weight loss. The problem often stems from mixing ephedrine with caffeine, a big no-no. Check out the Department of Health & Human Services for detailed info on the problems with Ephedra. \nPyruvate\n\nWhat it is: HCRC defines Pyruvate as: "a three-carbon (triose) ketoacid produced in the end stages of glycolysis." Translation: Pyruvate is a product of sugar metabolism. \nWhat it does: Marketers claim it can increase fat and weight loss, reduce cholesterol, and improve endurance. \nWhere it lives: Twin Lab's Pyruvate Fuel, Pinnacle Pyruvate 500 \nShould you take it? William Sukala, an expert trainer at Health Care Reality Checks says: "The minuscule doses available in commercial supplements have not been proven effective in any available research." Basically, the research that has been done doesn't support marketers' claims. It seems safe right now, but, like everything else, needs further study. \nHCA (Hydroxycitrate) \n\nWhat it is:A natural food substance extracted from the fruit of the Garcina cambogia tree grown in southern India. \nWhat it does: HCA supposedly curbs appetite and increases glycogen storage without affecting muscle or energy levels. \nWhere it lives: No-Diet Diet, Bio-Max 3000, MicroSlim, and Body Busters (among others) \nShould you take it? Not unless you enjoy wasting your money. According to a study published in JAMA, HCA is ineffective for weight loss. \nConclusion\nAs you can see, the research on fat burners is sketchy at best. No one can say with any certainty that fat burners work or if they are safe to take over a long period of time. What is a proven method of weight loss is exercise coupled with a healthy, low-calorie

Here is some information on some popular diet pill products:\n\nEphedra/ephedrine containing diet pills: may be effective in losing weight, but this is still controversial.  There is no conclusive evidence that they work.  HOWEVER, they have been shown to be very dangerous.  The FDA has reported over 40 cases of people dying due to strokes and heart atacks while on ephedra.  Ephedra serves to make drugs in the system more potent and many pills mix them with caffeine, which amplifies the effects of these drugs.  Ephedra will also increase problems will arrhythmias (heart beating at weird paces, which is dangerous).  Not Recommended and banned in many countries (Canada has banned its mixture in supplements with caffeine and over certain dosages).\n\nBitter orange peel extract (synephrine) - just an analog of ephedrine with the same dangers and side-effects.  Just because it is natural and from a plant source doesn't mean it's safe (see cocaine, opium and marijuana).\n\nThe greatest weight loss pill in the world claims to have lipase (actually lipoprotein lipase or LPL).  However, one problem with delivering enzymes throught he digestive system is the fact that they are digested.  The low pH in the stomach denatures proteins (which are what make up enzyme) and trypsin, pepsin and chymotrypsin are all enzymes that break up proteins in the gut.\n\nHoodia seems fishy - after checking 4 websites I am still unable to come up with a list of ingredients and one website claims "no known side effects" while another lists "dry mouth, difficulty in sleeping, restlessness, and nervousness."  The next page I looked at claimed that you will not feel wired or have sleeping problems.  They need to test this better.  There are also no studies listed about how effective this supplement is.  I would be careful.\n\nBottom line: eat healthy, exercise, add physical activity to your life (take the stairs, park far away, walk the dog, etc...) and save your money.

As for diet pills, you will hear more scam than science, but the fact is that only two products are FDA-approved to help in reducing body weight and treating obesity.\nThese are orlistat( Xenical) which prevents 30% of the fat in your diet from being absorbed and thus reducing the overall calories consumed.\nThe other is sibutramine( Merdia, Reductil) which increases the sense of satiety.\nBoth agents have helped people achieve weight loss of about 5-10 % of their initial body weight when combined with balanced meals and regular physical exercise of 30 or more min on most days of the week, which has been proven to improve health greatly.\n\nIf you suffer from any health conditions, be sure to check with your doctor before using any of these pills, or any others.

I have tried a lot of "fat burners" from my experience (I lost more than 70lbs). I can tell you that most of those products are just marketing hype.\n\nSome of them may be efficient and but when my personal training clients asked me about "fat burners" I tell them that before you buy anything to take a look at Will Brink's Diet Supplements Revealed . \n\nActually right now, They are giving away free extracts from the e-book so you can see inside at exactly what products is being reviewed. He'll tell you what really works and what is just *marketing hype*\n\nJust go here \nhttp://snipurl.com/nwtc\n\nThey will send you the extract's immediately.\n\nhttp://www.charlesblain.com

hi. It didnt work for me. I'm 26, 5'8 and weight 150. I took these pills for like 2 months and didnt lose any weight. It gave me headaches and nausea. Now I know it's better to exercise and eat right. Stop thinking about diet pills and work out!!

Yes, it is AWESOME!  If... you can tolerate high-energy products.  I fell good on LIPODRENE.  And, it helped me with my work-outs, which ultimately led to a leaner me :)

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...

Selinium is an awsome way to lose weight. It doesn't cost a lot of money and you can find it at pretty much any health store. It's not really even a diet pill. It doesn't speed up your heart or give you tones of energy like other things. When you take it everything is normal. What it does is it just speeds up your matabolism. I take one every day alond with being on a diet. I started this last year around Christmas and I have already lost 28 pounds.

There is no diet pill that will magically make you lose weight. No diet pills work, just do good old fashioned cutting calories and exercise.

Sounds like your lacking good nutrition.  I can tell you that one little pill won't cure your problems.  You need a complete package with someone that will coach you along the way with your weight loss.  You can get a Shapeworks Program for about the price of one bottle of pills.  It has  complete nutrition and its safer than Liptopril.
