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.

i will not relate u to the web site of Xenical  , i will answer  u due to my experience:  i used xenical for more than 9 months,,i was not really fat, but i am doing some activities , which require me to be really in shape,,i lost most of my fat, with xenical , correct diet and some sport  I am now 175 cm and my weight 71kg..the side effect i had was some stomach trouble  some gases and some diaries,,at the beginning of the treatment and it is less by timeand repeating the treatment ...i even had a bigger dose than recommended..(2*120mg each time)..\nNow i do not use Xenical unless i know that i have to have a fatty meal due to some social obligations..\n\nXenical is made by Roch (swiss company) but recently they sold the rights to abbott lab Usa to put in market a light version of xenical to be over shelf drug  and overcome the side effects  ..soon will be in the markets

I got xenical from my doctor but i also know that you can buy them from slimming clinics, they are expensive though.I think they cost about £35-40 per week.

Phentermine. Yes it works to curb your appetite, but you still need to make the right decisions with diet and exercise. Lost 60 pounds on it, but the side effects are dizziness and extremely dry mouth. Like anything, it is not a magic pill, need to keep with the same good habits after taking it or all the weight can come back, two fold. Hope this helps, Good Luck!!

I think the Blackmores are more of vitamin supplement then a weight loss pill.  There are so many different theories, sometimes associated with proven clinical trials, available now a days.  What I have read about Blackmores didn't impress me as one of the good ones.

Hi,\nI've tried all different diets, and the weight loss is only temporary. Ephedrine diet pills are really dangerous, stay away from them. However, I finally tried diet pills on the market are made from Hoodia. I saw this stuff on ABC News. It's all natural and safe, and it works! My wife took it for a month and dropped 20 pounds. I took it for a month and lost about 13 (but I didn't exercise).\n\nI bought the natural hoodia from this website: http://www.alllsite.info/free-diet-pills.php . I checked the web site address so I can post it here and I saw they're running a promotion now to get a free 2 week sample for only $4.97! I'm going to order this supply for my wife and give it to her for Christmas =)

Worked Great!\n\nPersonally I think 100% Hoodia in tablets is best! \n\nCheck with your doctor before starting any weight loss program.\n\nI tried many diet pills/shakes/bars with no or little results. \n\nThan I tried Hoodia and......\nHoodia has worked for me...and with no side effects. \n\nFor all you doubters, here is the prior feedback for another Answers user who followed my advice:\n\nAsker's Rating: *****\nvery good comment i lost 2 lbs in a week\ni think i can almost get in my leather dress, i can hit the town in no time \n\n\n**** VERY IMPORTANT NOT TO GET RIPPED OFF --- \n\n#1. Be sure you are buying pure Hoodia...look for the import certificate on the website. No matter the price, if they do not display this, you really do NOT know what you are getting!\n\n#2. Be sure it is 100% Hoodia & not mixed w/other herbs, etc.!!\n\n#3. Keep in mind it stops your hunger pangs…you MUST remember to break your habit to always eat at certain times.\n\n#4. Drink a full 8oz. glass of water with it!\n\nHoodia (HOOD-ee-uh) gordonii - A genus of 10 to 20 species from southwestern Africa. \nHoodia gordonii is the stoneage wonder plant found throughout the dry arid regions of the South western African continent now on the verge of making history in the fight against obesity. It is a genus belonging to the Asclepiadaceae family which consists of approximately 20 species. Used to stop hunger, quench thirst, and provide energy among other things since prehistoric times, Hoodia gordonii was first discovered by the San tribesmen and women to get through the most difficult of times. \n\nYou can read a good article about how it works at:\n\nhttp://www.hoodia-diets.info/hoodia-diet-capsules.htm\nhttp://www.hoodia-diets.info/hoodia-gordonii-diet-use.htm\nhttp://www.hoodia-diets.info\nhttp://hoodia-research.blogspot.com

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.

I take phenermine.  Dr. perscribed, not expensive, actually you can get it on line.  ameripills.com   I take the 37.5 mg  \nI have lost about 80 lbs now.  It curbs your apetite, and gives you energy (speeds up you metabolism)  but I afraid you are going to have to exercise.  Getting past the first month is the hardest, but then you get addictied to it, and you WANT to exercise.  I took it without exercising, and it doesnt work as good.  You also have to cut your calories.  I have done every fad diet out there, and the only things that truly works, for good, is cutting calories, and exercise.  those pills just kinda help you not be so hungry all the time.    I was also lazy, and I love food like you would not believe.  That's why we are fat.  (were for me) I have worked really hard at loosing this 80 lbs, I am so proud of myself for being so dedicated.  This is a mind thing, if you really want to loose it, you have to make the decision and do it.  There is no going back.\nThe way I keep from feeling deprived of food, I give myself one meal a week that I do not worry about calories.  And only one!  knowing that once a week you can have something, helps SO MUCH!  After you start loosing and see what you accomplish, you wont want to do that.  Mine have gone down to about once a month, and Im fine with that.   Right now Im doing about 1000 calories a day cuz Im trying to get ready for a concert and i want to look my best, but 1200 to loose is a good number.   go here,  www.calorielab.com   and www.ameripills.com  put your mind to it.  I did.  And Im not the fat girl in the group anymore!!!

I used hydroxycut before and it SUX!!!!!!!\n\nI was even jogging and working out and didn't lose any weight at all. This drug is used to gain muscle and weight apparently. I will never use it again.

I have used Phentermine and I lost 25-30 lbs. in 6 months.  You have to get a doctor to give it to you but it is worth it.  I have found that any of the over the counter meds. don't work.

It has proven time and time again that any of these slimming "magic bullets" MAY seem to work but only temporarily or NOT AT ALL.\n\nThere is no slimming pill that really works. The sure way is a good diet and exercise  and TIME.

I'm on phentermine right now.\nI was on it a few years ago and lost 58 lbs in 4 months but I didn't diet or exercise while losing or afterward, and gained it back.  After 3-6 months the pills stop working and you become addicted. Stop taking them when they stop working!  My friend has been on it for several years and is severely addicted.  She can't function if she doesn't take it daily.  \nThe pros: I lost 18 lbs this month as opposed to 7 last month (everything else the same).\nThe cons: hot flashes, thirsty, can't fall asleep, can't stay asleep, dry eyes.\nThis is a PRESCRIPTION drug.  Your doctor has to check you out before prescribing it--unlike those over the counter and sold on TV non-FDA approved pills which don't work adn that's why they don't care who busy them.\nI get so angry at people who scoff at prescription diet pills.  They obviously aren't overweight and have no idea what it's like to have a screwed up metabolism.  The pills are meant as a jumping-off  point.  You lose a little weight, feel better about yourself, learn how to eat less and move more, and then go on doing it after you stop taking the pills.  I didn't do it right last time and that's MY fault--not my doctor's or the drug's fault.

No! Pills don't work. If you've ever read the box or handout that comes with the pills it always refers to a balanced, calorie restricted diet and exercise. That's what makes you lose weight. Food is fuel...eat too much (or not burn enough off) and that very efficient body hoards the "fuel". More movement and less caloric intake will always produce a weight loss.

Okay there is 1 pill as I've stated on many pages, that does work and is WATCHED BY THE FDA!!! it's "HOODIA"...it was a cactus that they used in South Africa when their tribes would go on hunts, it's what they would eat when they had nothing to eat, it kept them healthy and slim...look it up on yahoo...I use the "smartburn" *with hoodia in it* and lost 15lbs in 2 weeks, this diet pill was posted all over the news including 60minutes, it's really incredible...check it out :o)

Garbage!  All hype...\n\nLipodrene works well.  It's the strongest diet pill (without a prescription).  The FDA banned it for awhile, but it's back on the market again.
