Diet pills give me some pros and cons?
411204
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.  Remember, "natural" doesn't necessarily mean "good for you."  There are a number of plant extracts that have serious side effects.  There are a lot of poisons in nature!\n\nBesides, you won't learn how to eat properly if you use the pills, which means that even if you do lose some weight, you will probably gain it all back, plus some.

a diet pill is a diet pill\n\nthey arent healthy but id say the healthiest one would be green tea pills\n\nthey pretty much all work the same\n\nthey suppress hunger and make you lose your appetite and give you more energy to work out... pretty much... if you dont abuse them...they cant hurt you\n\ntake the right amount and exercise along with a healthy diet...dont forget to check the  side effects\n\nand ask your dr. bc he might know things you dont \n\noh and before you take them... know that by taking more than you should you can give yourself a massive heartattack and DIE\n\nbe safe..take the right amount and just... go with it\n\nhope they work for you

Diet pills are never good. Cut the salt, sugar and fats and exercise and drink lots of water. \nI have heard of an herbal tea that helps with metabolism. I would visit a health food store and inquire of something that is better for you to use like a tea then diet pills. diet pills are addicting. Make an appointment with a dietician and join a health club to help motivate you. Have you tried weight watchers? People fall back on diets because they cut out things like desserts. If you go on Weight Watchers plan you never cut the dessert. Everything is counted out for you in each meal for your calorie intake. That is what I heard. I've never tried it. Good luck.

these products are effective; you must follow the suggestions on the bottle b/c a lot of them suggest drinking plenty of water; regular exercise; balanced diet\n\nthese suggestions are important to follow b/c any unhealthy activity will sabotage the diet supplements\n\nthe downfall behind the supplements is that as soon as you stop using them you gain the weight back, unless you have implemented a good exercise/eating plan;\n\nit's good if you consult a doctor or personal trainers on this, that way a professinal can assess whether you need those pills or not; those pills can be addictive and only people who are overweight by 60 pounds or more should use them, also adults over the age of 20 should use them, b/c by this time your body should have stop growing; they aren't intended for children/teens

NONE of them really work. Especially if you expect to sit on your a** and continue to eat whatever you want. Diet pills are suppose to give you an extra boost of energy so you can push yourself a little harder during exercise. If that is the case, don't waste your money on diet pills just take Vivarian (caffeine pills) before a work-out and you will get the same results for the fraction of the price. They run about $2. It is better than paying $20 - $100 for pills you have no clue what's in them.

NO!!!! you should be happy with who you are and dont take diet pills to try to look like somebody you see on the TV. maybe try exercising. Diet pills are meant for young bodies.

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.

I would stop taking the pills. I used to take a diet pill myself, I dieted and exercised (3 days of cardio and 3 days of weight lifting, Sundays off). But, I wonder if I would have lost the weight without these stupid pills. And, they are rather costly and expensive. I suggest you eat right, cut your calories, exercise to include weight training and cardio suited to you body. There is no magic pill to help lose weight.

The best way to lose weight is of course, a healthy diet and a frequent exercise plan.  If you insist on taking diet pills, make sure that you fully research each type before trying it.

I've tried a few of the diet pills out there, and I've gotta say none of them worked for me. Although a friend of mine has tried the very same pills and it worked for her. We have the same activity level, we walk daily and lift light weights. So I really think it depends on the person taking them, every one has a different chemical make up so the reaction will be different. \nIf you want to try one, I'd suggest SlimQuick, that's the one that works best for my friend.

Diet pills are terrible for you and your body. They eat away at your liver worse than alcohol. They can give you heart palpitations and high blood pressure. The only thing diet pills succeed in doing is raping you of hard earned money.

I have tried the one-a-day weight loss pills and I would have to say that they made me decide to never take diet pills again. I gained ten pounds on them, and I am a very athletic person. I had not gained weight in soo long that I cannot remember, until trying these. I was on them for a month or two (I cannot remember). I would not suggest them to anyone, unless you want to be trying to run off all of the fat you gained while using them. The only way to truely loose weight is good old fashion diet and exercise.

"There are no reported side effects for this herbal supplement, as it is composed of 100% natural materials". \nThat what it says in its instructions, I believe the company can't write this if its not true plus its all herbal, don't you agree!\nI started using those pills last week with trying to control my food & I feel great.  Ofcourse I did ask many people who tried  them & lost weight before me, but no side effects were mentioned but better body shape.\nBTW. they said it works more with some diet, means you loose more weight. try it & get a shape.

diet pills usually dont help very much and some can be very harmful. the old fashion way of eating right and exercise is the best way to go. just try taking it slow and you will notice results soon enough!
