What are the safest diet pills to help jump start the weight loss process?

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.

There is no magic pill for weight loss your best bet is to just change your lifestyle...if you like chocolate eat a mini-hershey bar a week instead of a big one...so on and so forth until you are eating healthier foods and yet don't feel like you can't eat what you like. Park in the back of the parking-lot at Wal-Mart....and burn five or six extra calories walking to the door. Little changes make a big difference

There is NO safe or effective diet pill.  Take a look at phen/fen and ephedra, they worked at losing wieght and giving you a heart attack.  The best and only safely proven way is eating in moderation and exercise.  I wish there was a magic pill, but it does not exist yet.  And dont believe any ad or commercial saying otherwise

Phentermine diet pills are banned-and with good reason!\nPlease watch the film called REQUIEM FOR A DREAM.\nAll the woman wanted to do was just lose some weight so that she could wear her old favoufrite red dress -she ended up a mental case...

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...

notice a lot of people say no to diet pills on your answers. But yet they haven't hit upon a key point. Diet pills are not yet regulated by the FDA. What does this mean? It means that drug company's that make diet pills can put what ever they want into it and they don't have to do extensive testing to ensure that the product is sound and does not have a pluthera of side effects. What this should mean to you is that they are unsafe. While diet pills sound like they might help you really the only way to lose the weight is to work to get it off. The only way you can lose weight is by carefuly watching your Cal intake and how much exercise you preform. For every 3,500 cal take in you have added one pound. That is a fact. So how do you lose that? You make sure that your energy used ( by things like biking, running... all other forms of cardio work...... meaning getting your heart rate up so you can't sing but can talk for 20-30 minutes) exceeds the energy taken in. This is counted in a standered unit of cal.\n\nso let us say you take in 2,000 cal for one week and expend (from normal activities) 150 then you have an excess of 1850. Now the following week you also eat 2,000 cal and you only use 150 then you have another 1850 cal and this excess adds up to 3700. You have now gained one pound. \n\nI suggest cardio because this helps exercise your heart and when you are over weight your heart has to work harder to pump the blood through out all the tissues. \n\nMy best advice for losing weight and staying focuse? Put up a picture of your healthy target area... find a picture of a star that you look up to and wish you had her body weight. Put it in a place you look at every day and this could hlep motivate you to tone down some. \n\nThough you must keep in mind I am not a doctor and your best weight loss source should be your own physician because they can tell you what is a healthy target for your self. I personally only look at my body fat % and not at the actual weight I am. This can be a large motivator to eat healthy.\nLook at the Food guid pyrimid. Again I am not a doctor and can not recommend or prescribe a plan of treatment.

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

ALL diet pills are bad news.  Lose weight using diet and exercise, pills are not a solution.

People always want to take diet pills to lose weight, but there is no substitute for good old-fashioned exercise.  I think if a person wants to lose weight & be healthy he/she should change their lifestyle & be physically fit overall, not just rely on pills.  Once you stop taking the pills, you have to think how you're going to maintain your shape & continue to keep the weight off.  I suggest exercising.  Taking a walk is great exercise, especially if you walk at a brisk pace - it burns a lot of calories.  Do some aerobics (I use The Firm & it's really fun) or kickboxing, anything to get your heart rate up & burn fat.  Try to do a variety of things so you stay motivated & don't get bored.

You are smart to avoid pills because there is no pill that will effectively help you lose weight and keep it off! \n\nYou don't provide a lot of details as far as how much time you have for exercise, what your current diet is like, etc. but generally speaking, here are some tips to get you started.\n\nDetermine how many calories you should be consuming per day to meet your goals. I have provided a link below to an article that will help you determine this. That same article will also help you determine how to effectively reduce your caloric intake to meet those goals. It's a great article!\n\nAfter you know your "caloric number," you'll want to divide that number by 5. That is how many calories you should be consuming 5 times per day.\n\nAs mentioned above, eat 5 times per day - eating every 3 hours or so. \n\nDrink at least 8 glasses of water per day.\n\nInclude a lean protein source with every meal and try to include as many low glycemic carbohydrates with each meal (i.e. vegetables, fruits, legumes, whole grains, etc.)\n\nThrow out all junk foods, soda, alcohol, etc. for now. \n\nAllow yourself ONE cheat MEAL per week. \n\nExercise at least 4-5 times per week and 6 days would be ideal. Each exercise session should last at least 20 minutes and during that 20 mintues, keep your heart rate in the "weight loss zone." I've provided a link below to another article on this subject. For now, concentrate on cardio exercises but by all means start strength training as well. \n\nThese tips, I promise, will get you to your goals. You'll notice the links I've provided are from my Men's Fitness site, but even as a woman, these same "rules" apply! If you have any questions, drop me an email.  Best of luck to you!

Eat right and work out. Don't go for the diet pills.

Yep, tis simple. Limit your food intake(reasonably) drink lots of water and excercise. Don't tamper with those pills. \n\nSomething else that helps is apple cider vinegar pills. It's just pure apple cider vinegar, but if you are that concerned about losing weight talk to your doctor or dietician. ;)

No diet pill is effective in the long term. Just admit to yourself that you have to eat less and exercise more. Your mental strength will thank you for it.

Diet and exercise is the best answer. Most diet pills are accelarators. The next time you see a Trim Spa commercial listen carefully. It says with proper diet and exercise. If you only need to lose 5 or 10 pounds go for it. Otherwise I would start looking for a nutrition plan.\n\nFor a simple plan check out this link.

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.
