Is taking a diet pill to dangerous for my age?


Question:
Hey! I am 14 years old and was wanting to know if taking a diet pill would help me lose weight. I do daily excercise and I am on a realistic diet. So do you know any pills that are safe for me to take?

Thanx so much!

Answer:
Haley, the problem is none of them work. They may temporarily help you lose weight but when you are off of them, or your body builds up tolerance to them, then you gain it back.

Losing weight is not losing weight if you gain it back.

That’s what diet pills do, why do you think there is a new popular one every few months.
Now if you wonder if there are any good supplements and my answer is yes.
There are some supplements that you can take that can enhance a very healthy diet and fitness program and help you to stay committed to it.
7 Keto is an awesome metabolic enhancing compound that helps to reduce body weight and body fat by giving you more of a hormone that tells your thyroid to increase your metabolism. You may say wow, that’s what I need. No, the 7-Keto is all you need, not the other stuff. Yes but no, see the body can only take so much of it at a time before its eliminated by the blood and the rest becomes expensive urine. So you cant just take it alone, it must be part of a plan.

Hoodia by itself, not combined with other compounds, appears to affect the brain by making the stomach feel full and reducing the desire to eat.
Offers safe, caffeine-free, non-stimulant weight management support when used alone. It also may help in metabolizing fats.

Multivitamins - help you maintain the muscle that you have by providing nutrients your cells need. Understand if you don’t put enough nutrients in your body, you will lose muscle because your body will eat the muscle for those nutrients.

These supplements should be part of an overall lifestyle change, to a healthier one.
Hi.. i'm 13 and I wouldnt recommend it. i havent ever used it but i need to loose weight fast and dont exercise much. You seem to be on a balanced diet so just keep on doing what you doing. X
You are older than me, so what do I know? I wouldn't really recommend it at 14, but BioSlim is usually alright. And Metabolife. Always read the box though coz they can have really bad side effectss.
YES! pills are dangerous at any age, because the solution to issues of weight are not to be found in a pill, PERIOD! It is always an issue of getting fit (this doesn't involve a number). Here's what actually works, time-tested and proven. 1. Exercise consistently (daily) for about an hour. You must work up a sweat, get your heart-rate up, and wear out some muscles for this to count as exercise. 2. Eat sensibly and frequently. Everything else that you can be told about losing weight is garbage. Also, it is important to note that the issue is never the number that is on the scale. It is getting fit that is the real issue. Pills never help.
YEAH!!! taking diet pills r dangerous for your age. u should try having an apple n lots of water 4 dinner n 4 snacks have lots n lots of fruit.
Stay away from the pills-------------increase your exercise or change your routine, eat Chicken ,turkey, fish, apples, oranges, pecahes etc. and veggies and you will do fine. No more than 2 pieces of bread a day. stay away from the potatoes, candy and all the good things(some consider good)
Please dont! There is no real safe pill. They all have a risk.
Unless you are terribly overweight and your Dr recommended it. Id wait. You are still growing and changing and that may affect your body. Id say wait on the diet pills unless you get a Drs opinion or till at least 18yrs or so old.
Also, you cant be on diet pills forever. You have to learn to eat right for life.
Keep up what you are doing now! It sounds like you are on the right road. It doesnt happen overnight but if you keep it up after a month or so you will see some changes. The first month is the hardest and it only gets easier after that. Keeping busy is the key!
Don't take them. They are ineffective and extremely bad for you. Dieting is bad for you actually. Lots of girls your age are concerned about their weight, often unnecessarily. First, take and objective look at your weight and body size. Are you really over weight or is it just how you feel. Get a medical opinion. Remember you are still growing, girls your age need a bit of fat. If you are active then you may have more muscle which is much heavier than fat. Excessive dieting will reduce that which is a bad thing. If you genuinely have a problem then look at what it is in your lifestyle that has caused it and change those things. Make changes you can live with and that don't make you miserable.

good luck
I am only barely 2 years older than you, but I've never tried taking pills. I don't know, sorry... but whatever it is, I hope you reach your goal. Cheers.
