I wouldn't use a pill. You have no idea what side effects it could have. Just exercise and eat right.

The quickest way isn't always the best way or the right way for you. Here are 3 different approaches that work:\n\n1) The quickest by far is surgery, of course. Liposuction is fast and works wonders- but actual stomach reductions (stapling, bypass etc) have not only been proven effective for weightloss but also in reducing the chances you'll develop adult onset diabetes.\n\n2) Next fastest is to eat a diet of 80% natural fats and 20% protein, in 5 small portions, with a target of 1000 calories a day. This is like eating a 2 oz bag of macadamia nuts, or 2 oz of egg salad or tuna salad as a complete meal, every meal. It works- and for any significant amount of weight it's better than starvation. More importantly the high fat content of the diet ensures that your body continues to produce the hormones you need to retain muscle tissue- so you lose fat pounds and not muscle pounds.\n\n3) Probably the best long term solution to lose weight and improve your health is to follow a light excercise routine several times per week, and to eat a diet that is high in fiber and has a low glycemic index (that is- eat foods that are low in processed sugar and grains, preferring when you eat carbohydrates to try whole grains and natural sugars).

In my opinion it would really depend on the person dieting. Weight Watchers allows you to eat almost anything just within reason, and you have to count points. It's not a diet that will cause you to lose weight extremely fast, however it will cause you to keep the weight off that you do lose, unlike Adkins. This diet you can lose a lot of weight really fast but most people (not all) gain it back just a quick and then some, because sooner or later you'll want those carbs back.

fast will put twice as much back on you!\n\nTry Leslie Sansone's Walk away the Pounds DVDs.......they are great and it works! I did it 2 years ago and lost almost 60 lbs. in 5 1/2 months. (with proper diet and no diet pills)

for that fast of a loss I would recommend the atkins diet along with some excercise. The atkins diet consists of eating protein only. Meat, no carbohydrates. For losing a signifigant amount of weight fast, you can't beat it.

There's no such thing as quick and fast. Anything over the counter that can promise you quick and fast isn't safe so I wouldn't take them. You just have to watch your caloric intake versus your activity level, it'll come off, but it will take time. Losing anymore than 4 pounds a week isn't healthy either so don't do some crash diet or pill that could potentially hurt you.

Every year Americans invest billions of dollars in weight loss diets and gimmicks, many of which yield few results. However, the lure of quick, easy weight loss is hard to resist. Despite ineffective tools, most hopeful consumers are willing to give the next weight loss fad a chance. If you're planning to start a new diet, it is important to remember the following information.\nFood-specific diets: Have you ever tried the cabbage diet or the fruit-only diet? These are just a couple of examples of diets that promote one "specific" food that causes weight loss. No matter how much you think you'll enjoy ice cream at every meal, inevitably you will get bored with eating the same food repeatedly. As a result, you'll eat less food than needed to maintain your weight. This type of diet will not teach you healthier eating habits or provide a balance of nutrients, and consequently is not effective for long-term weight loss.\n\nHigh-protein, low-carbohydrate diets: One of the most recent trends in dieting, these diets are based on the concept that carbohydrates are "bad" and that everyone has some degree of insulin resistance, resulting in poor carbohydrate metabolism. Many proponents of these diets suggest that including carbohydrates in your diet will cause weight gain. The reality, though, is that eating more calories (whether as carbohydrate, fats, or protein) than you burn will cause weight gain.\n\nHigh-fiber, low-calorie diets: As I've noted in many previous blog entries, fiber-rich foods play an important role in a healthy diet. They are a helpful ingredient of weight loss efforts because they provide bulk to the diet, which helps you feel fuller sooner. Be careful, though: if you plan to increase the fiber in your diet, be sure to increase your fluid intake at the same time or you may experience cramping, bloating, and constipation. High-fiber diets will help with weight loss only if you restrict calories in conjunction with addition of extra grains, fruits and vegetables.\n\nLiquid diets: Consumers face a couple of different liquid diet options. Your local grocery store and pharmacy sell over-the-counter liquid meal replacements, which can be expensive and frequently add extra calories to daily consumption if not managed carefully. On the other hand are liquid diets that require medical supervision. These diets are usually very low in calories and may result in metabolic abnormalities if dieters are not carefully monitored. Neither type of liquid diet should be used for long‑term weight loss unless monitored by a health care professional. Radically changing your caloric intake in this way will not result in long-term behavior modification and healthy eating patterns.\n\nFasting: As a way to cleanse the body or jump-start a weight-loss program, fasting has been recommended for years. However, all that fasting really does is deprive your body of nutrients and decrease your energy, leaving you feeling weak and lightheaded. If the right nutrients are not available for your cells to use as energy, your liver will convert fat stores to ketones for use as energy (ketosis). Long-term ketosis can be harmful to your health. \nNo fad diet or gimmick will work magic for safe and effective weight loss. The following are some suggestions for ensuring a long-term healthy eating plan and getting your weight loss efforts off to an encouraging start: \nEat a variety of foods. Remember, a balanced diet will ensure that you get all necessary nutrients. \n\nGet some physical activity every day. Calories in must be less than calories out to ensure successful weight loss. To keep "calories out" at a healthful level, make you get at least 30 minutes of physical activity every day.\n\nInclude sources of fiber in your diet. They will add bulk and give you a feeling of fullness.\n\nChoose a diet low in fats, saturated fats, and cholesterol. You do need to consume some fat for good health. Aim for no more t

diet pills do not help you lose weight. they just screw up your body. this is coming from a person that has used them, they are not worth it. not at all. just a waste of money. best bet is soemthing your probably already know and dont want to hear again. eat right and exercise. it doesnt have to be a lot of exercise just walking instead of driving or taking a walk after dinner every night. your best bet is to also lose weight gradually. the faster you lose it the better the chance that you will gain it right back. hope this helps a little. good luck!

well you can crash diet, that makes you lose weight very fast but you can't keep it off for a long period of time, the longest is about a month, and you can't eat anything but non fat yogurt three times a day, that is it, but a healthy way to lose weight is to eat right and exercise

Herbalife products work for many people.  I've tried them and I like the wild berry flavor.  I've lost 15 pounds in a month with a combination of shakes and exercise.  Some people will initially lose inches around the waist before they lose any weight.  Being consistent (such as allowing equal time between meals and shakes) plus light exercises will help.  The pills sometimes made me nauseous.  I asked my distributor and he recommended something called "Herbal Aloe Drink".  Herbaldietshop.com has a good weight loss FAQ if you are concerned about your program. Good luck!

Diet Pills are a waste of money. If you need a pill to give you a boost of energy try "Vivarian" Caffeine pills. Does the same exact thing. Fraction of the price. Or, Try the Medifast Diet from Take Shape for Life. You will lose weight quickly with little or no exercise. It was recommended by my Dr. and it is healthy. They teach you to eat 5-6 small meals a day every 2-3 hours so you speed up your metabolism. I lost 25 lbs. from it so far.

I tried it, but it really did not do anything. Like most "miracle" diet aids, this one also falls short. Diet and exercise is the way to go, believe me I have tried every pill out there (prescription also). I have been living on fruits, veggies, and Atkins bars for breakfast and lunch, and then have whatever I want for dinner. I have lost 27 pounds so far! Remember to drink plenty of water, it really does speed up your metabolism, and it is good for the skin!

First, for all of the "quick and easy" weight loss diet pill suggestions, remember, if something sounds too good to be true... it probably is, particularly if you have to pay for it.\n\nDon't target losing more than about 2 lbs per week. If you try to lose faster, your body will go into "starvation mode" and get very stingy about burning calories while at the same time very efficient about storing any calories that you do provide. And it will make you feel awful. \n\nThe most effective way to lose fat is aerobic exercise in the "moderate" fat-burning range, ideally first thing in the morning before you eat. When you wake your body is ready to burn fat and your levels of growth hormone are highest at that time. Later in the day it can take up to 30 minutes just to put your body into a fat-burning mode. \n\nAnother overlooked way to burn fat is by lifting weights. Skeletal muscle has very high caloric needs... almost twice that of adipose (fat) tissue. Put on a little muscle and you will burn calories all day even at rest. Be aware that skeletal muscle weighs more, so with this approach you may see your weight increasing while your body fat is melting away. Not realizing this often stresses folks who think they should be losing weight as a measure of fitness. Forget the scale, look in the mirror and you will be happy.\n\nTo lose a pound of fat, you need to eliminate about 3500 calories. You can do this by burning more with exercise or by modifying your diet to reduce intake. If you do a Google search on say, "swimming calories" you will quickly find a website with tables of calories burned for a given exercise. You can use such lists to estimate how many calories you are burning up with your routine.\n\nFor diet, keep a diary for a couple of weeks counting calories, grams of protein, and grams of fat intake. It is easy with online sources of nutritional information (type the name of the food and calories into the Google search engine) and packaging labels. That will let you quickly figure out where the fat is coming from in your diet. \n\nFat gives you 9 calories per gram. So take the number of grams of fat, multiply by 9, then calculate what percentage the fat calories are of your total daily calories. Restricting the calories from fat to about 20% of your total intake is ideal for a maintenance diet... that isn't overly restrictive. Of note, you need some fat in your diet. For instance, the body uses fat to produce hormones. Once you have a picture of how to modify your diet, you can drop the diary and just go back to it occasionally if you are wanting to tweek things further.\n\nIf you are trying to build muscle as a way to lose fat, then you may need to increase total calories and specifically your protein intake. I target about 0.8 g of protein per pound of body weight each day when actively building. That is far more protein than most people need in their diets.\n\n\nAloha

Personally, I don't think "diets" work.   If you are looking for a quick fix,  don't read any further.\n\nIn the past, I probably have been on most all of the diets out there.  If you need a diet book, I have a bookcase full of them.  Yes, I lost weight but at what cost?  Only to put it back on plus some.\n\nEating smaller, well balanced meals and good nutritious snacks\nalong with exercise WORKS!   It's the only healthy way to go.\nOnce you start (and it won't be easy) it becomes a way of life. \nExercise can start with walking.  Even a casual stroll is better than nothing.  Start out slowly and you will be surprised at how soon you will be picking up the pace.  Or try rebounding.  (it's a small trampolene)\n\nI was an emotional eater.  I didn't eat because I was hungry. \nI had to make changes in my life and decided it was time  to eat healthier.\n\nI have not had a cold or any kind of sickness in over 3 years.  I'm a believer in the fuel I put into my body.
