Do any over the counter diet pills really work?


Question:
Do any of these diet pills that you see on TV commercials actually really work? Like RelaCore, Trim Spa and all that other stuff?? My friend wants to try them b/c she thinks they work but i dont think so.

Answer:
No they don't. Think about it. If all those gimmick diet pills really worked.there would be NO fat people in the world. None. Nada. Why? Because they would all be popping those pills, staying skinny as super-models. The U.S. Government recently fined these companies millions of dollars for their false advertising. Xenadrine: $12.8 million; CortiSlim: $12 million; TrimSpa: $1.8 million. Every diet pill has a disclaimer that says "use with a proper diet and exercise." It's the diet and exercise that helps you lose any weight. There is no magic bullet. The only way to lose weight is proper diet (cutting calories) and exercise. Have her read the following links I have attached.
They work for a little while by boosting your metabolism and helping your blood circulate to those "problem areas" but like the Atkins Diet, once you quit the pills, the weight comes back.
Na they wont work for you. They are just a money thing. On the bottle it even says results not typical and use when you work out. Obviosly it will work if you work out because your working out. just do it yourself. pills are bad for organs and stuff. good luck.
Nope, they surely don't. Please don't waste your money you'll be pissed.
no they just make me feel shakey
Honestly.is your "friend" really you?

Either way, don't waste the money. If you look at the Ads and the packages for these products you'll see that the FDA doesn't endorse any of the wild claims those products mention...that means there has been no real scientific research into the claims...which, if the stuff works there would be.

There is a great way to lose weight, eat less and exercise.
nope, you will loose some weight but then you will gain more than you loose.
Sure, till you stop taking them, then you blow up again. If you are really interested in losing weight, you need to eat right, exercise..what everyone's be saying for YEARS. The simple change your lifestyle, what you eat and exercise!!

Good luck.
They dont work, The only way to lose weight is to exercise, eat right, and decrease the consumption of food intake. Tell her not to go back for seconds...Stay away from starches.Eat fruits, veggies, and proteins.Walk 30 minutes to 1 hour each day.Get plenty of rest..Drink lots of water..Watch the Office on NBC....
Is your friend an adult or not? Assuming your friend is an adult, I would suggest to check with the doctor first and get a complete physical, including bloodwork to see if there are any dangers lurking in the body. If there aren't any and your friend wants to lose weight, it is best to do it safely and not with a pill. See a dietician for guidance on how to lose weight safely.
I used them as a teenager (Dexatrim) . Developed Anorexia. Im 5'4" and I weighed 83 lbs. Hospitalized 4 times. Had vitamin injections 2X's a week. Im 43 now and have bad health. Diet the right way, or you will regret it later.
I know several people that take over the counter junk.It not only cost you but most of it harms you.Here's a free diet for you.Cut down on fat and calories and exercise every day for at least 30 min.This will trim you up and you will lose weight.Its healthy and free,now its up to you or you can be like most of the other people,that's to hard it requires exercises and you cant eat all the junk I love,I'll just take a pill and let it do it for me until I have a heart attack and then I'll do the free diet and exercise program. Diets are a billion $ industry for pill pushers and food industries,what do you really think.
To be honest i doubt it because even though when it comes to trimspa Anna Nicole Smith lost mad weight but you can never know if that was just one good hella lyposuction or she is on crack. When it comes to your friend and to be honest if i was desperately tryin to lose weight i would do it different way and possibly tried few of the things that being advertised. Why not. Just make sure she checks if it not going to complicate things and mess up her health.
