If you are serious about losing weight, the calories\nin the food you eat should be less than the\nenergy you use. You will have to increase your \nmetabolic rate now, and plan your diet carefully.\nFormulate your own weight loss plan and you will \nlose weight faster.

The purpose of a water pill is to remove water from your body.  No they do not help you 'permanently' lose weight, really, they only work until the water is restored....you can kind of compare it to urinating, yes you will weigh less, but only until you replace the water you expelled.

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.

My gyno prescribed phentermine to me when I went to her with problems in conceiving. She told me I needed to lose some weight for that purpose. I have never taken any diet pills before. I have been on them for 8 days and have lost 5 lbs. I've never lost that fast before. However, I am cutting back alot and am exercising periodically as well. So, yes, it really works...but make sure to do the exercise/drink water as well so you can make the most of it. You shouldn't stay on it too long. Good luck!!

I wouldn't use them as some pills can be bad for your digestive system and other systems to. If you want to lose weight eat healthily and exercise.

I don't see how a patch or a pill can help you lose weight. You have to do it with exercise and eating healthy.

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.

I take zinc supplements during cold season. Zinc is a mineral that greatly helps our immune system. And just so you know, "metals" are not always solid shiny silvery lumps. Zinc in the supplement pills is a powder. Iron is another nutrient your body needs, did you know that?

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...

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. ;)

Diet pills aren't really effective.  You need to be very careful.  I used stacker 2 once - I only took one pill and it made me feel like my heart was going to jump out of my chest.  I felt sick and it was kinda scary.  That was only taking one pill, one time!  None of their claims are backed up by anything but paid spokesmodels.  If a pill could really make people lose weight, I seriously doubt that we would have this huge obesity problem in the US.\n\nLosing weight is hard, no doubt about that.  You need to be committed to making a lifestyle change.  A lot of people start out really gung-ho, which is fine but it burns out after a short time.  You need to cut out all sodas & reduce the amount of juice you drink.  All natural juice is better than the sugary stuff, but you still need to watch.  You should drink some skim milk (for calcium) and mainly water - lots of it - about 64 oz (8 glasses) per day.  It sounds like an awful lot, but just carry a water bottle with you all the time.  You also need to cut out sweets, chocolates, candy, and other junk like chips.  Eat more veggies, salad is good but go easy on the dressing!  You can still treat yourself now and then, but only have one cookie instead of 10.  \n\nWatch portion sizes and try not to eat after 7PM.  Get more active - join a sports team or just hit the gym.  Try walking or biking instead of driving (if possible).  Instead of laying on the couch playing video games or watching tv, take the dog for a walk.  Anything to get moving!  After awhile you won't crave the sweets and junk, you will want to be up moving instead of laying around.  Small changes can make big difference, but be patient.  \n\nGood luck!

Since most diet pills are unnatural, they unnaturally boost your metabolism or prevent fat absorption from within.  Unless you plan on taking diet pills for the rest of your life, it could end up a disaster once you achieve your ideal weight.  Your body may become dependent on these pills and go coo coo after you stop taking them, causing you to gain more than you loss.  It just contributes to the yo-yo dieting routine.  If you follow the daily food pyramid you shouldn't have to pop in any pills except daily vitamin supplements or a Tylenol or two for the minor soreness you get from just starting to work out. Good luck.

Diet pills in general are unsafe to take, whether you have Diabetes or not. Please do not be fooled into thinking that you will lose weight with diet pills - Do they advise you drink plenty of water whilst taking them?? As that is the soul key to losing weight, drink plenty of water and exercise!

Yes I have.  I have seen no difference..........BUT...... I joined a gym for the exercise and watch my food intake.  I have lost 76 lbs in a yr and half.  No pill can do that.  Stay with the natural...no meds!

No because diet pills are a waste of money.  The directions say you have to use them in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise, so why not just skip the expensive pills and focus on diet and exercise?

JenniferLynn is wrong. The ingredients in the pill changes your hormone levels and most likely thats why you gained some weight.Your hormone levels will return back to the way they where before you starting taking the pill, but it just takes a little time for it to get out of your system.So YES, you can get back to your old self(exercise or diet to lose the weight) and NO, your body wont store fat easier.

diet pills, even if they say they are all natural, are not "natural" for your body.  effects of diet pills ranges from diarrhea, dehydration, headaches, feeling of dryness in the mouth and eyes, and in worst cases, poisoning.  there are diet pills that are supposed to aid in metabolism, and are supposed to suppress your hunger, but different people have different body chemistry, therefore the pills have different effects on people.\n\nif you do want to aid your weightloss, consult a doctor.  not only can they help you in choosing a diet pill with low side effects, they can even test you on some ingredients of diet pills so as to know whether or not your body will accept or reject them.  PLEASE DO NOT TAKE DIET PILLS WITHOUT MEDICAL CONSULTATION.  even OTC drugs have side effects.\n\nthe best way to lose weight is for you to incorporate a well balanced diet and good, regular exercise in your daily life.  a low fat, low carb, high fibre diet is good for almost everyone; and jogging, biking, swimming, even walking to the bus station and doing chores around the house is good exercise.  not only will this aid in your weightloss, it is very easy to maintain and incorporate in your daily activities.
