What is the best prescription diet pill on the market?
Question:
Answer:
In general, diet pills don't work. You are looking for a quick and easy fix to a long and hard problem. You should lose weight gradually through a reasonable change in diet, and exercise. I DO NOT recommend the Atkins diet. Most nutrician experts will tell you that the Atkins diet can be very harmful. Yes, you will lose weight. But at the risk of your health. Smoking can help you keep your weight down, at the risk of lung cancer and heart disease. Use common sense. Eat less starches, sugars, and carbs. Don't drink sodas, drink water. Don't eat one or two large meals a day, then starve for the rest of the day. Eat a small breakfast lunch and dinner. Eat a small healthy snack (like peanuts) between meals. The problem with the Atkins diet is you eat no carbs and too much red meat. Some red meat is ok. Too much red meat increases your chances of developing heart disease. Atkins dieters lose weight. But the end doesn't justify the means.
Prescription? diet pill? want to loose weight fast, try
www.atkins.com I can almost promise it will beat any pharmaceiticals out there. Yes its the Atkins diet,
its a no to low carb diet and it works.
hmmmm.i think Xandol pills work..
I say Atkins is a bunch of BS. Go on a Low Sodium, Low Cholesteral(unlike atkins), Low Fat, Higher Protien diet .
And then you should be good to go. Excercise as much as you want. Eat a lot of Tofu, use Turkey instead of Beef or Chicken. Substitute Rice with Mash Potatoes. Splurge once in a while. Also, Drink Fat-Free Milk, and eat Frosted Mini-Wheats when you want something sweet. If you do this you shall be excellent. Thank me later. lol, yes I have that much confidence in the diet.

Xenical (Orlistat)
What is it?
Xenical is a lipase inhibitor. Its active ingredient is lipostatin.
How does it work?
Xenical blocks the action of the fat-digesting lipase enzymes in the intestine. This stops around 30 percent of the fat you’ve eaten from being absorbed. It simply passes through your digestive system and you lose weight as a result.
Who is it suitable for?
Your doctor will decide whether Xenical is suitable for you. It will only be prescribed if your Body Mass Index (BMI) is 30 or more or your BMI is 28 or more and you have other health problems such as heart disease or type 2 diabetes. You’ll also only be prescribed Xenical if dieting and exercise alone have produced a weight loss of at least 2.5kg over four weeks. In contrast, it’ll be discontinued if you haven’t lost at least five percent of your body weight after 12 weeks.
Do I still need to diet and exercise?
Yes! To avoid unpleasant side effects, you should follow a reduced-calorie diet where no more than 30 percent of calories come from fat. Taking more exercise is also recommended.
Is there any proof that it works?
Xenical has been extensively studied. In clinical trials, almost twice as many patients who received Xenical, achieved an average weight loss of 10 percent or more of their body weight in one year, compared to those on diet alone.
What support do patients get?
Patients have access to the Medical Action Plan (MAP). This 12-month plan provides information to help patients follow a reduced-calorie diet providing less than 30 percent of daily calories from fat. It also includes advice on how to increase activity levels.
Are there any side effects?
Unabsorbed fat can cause loose stools and flatulence. Xenical also interferes with the absorption of the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K, so you might need to take supplements.
Reductil (Sibutramine)
What is it?
Reductil is a satiety enhancer. Its active ingredient is sibutramine hydrochloride.
How does it work?
Reductil blocks the nerve cells that release and reabsorb serotonin. This means serotonin levels increase. These act in the brain and enhance feelings of fullness so that you eat less and consequently lose weight.
Who is it suitable for?
Your doctor will decide whether Reductil is suitable for you. It will only be prescribed if your Body Mass Index (BMI) is 30 or more or your BMI is 27 or more and you have other weight-related health problems.
Do I still need to diet and exercise?
Yes! Reductil should be used in conjunction with a reduced-calorie diet. Taking more exercise is also recommended.
Is there any proof that it works?
Reductil has also been studied. When used in combination with a reduced-calorie diet and appropriate physical activity, 77 percent of patients achieved weight loss that benefited their health.
What support do patients get?
Patients have access to the Change for Life programme. This 12-month package provides motivational support and advice on healthy eating and physical activity to encourage permanent behavioural and lifestyle changes.
Are there any side effects?
The most common side effects include insomnia, constipation, a dry mouth and small increases in blood pressure.

I've been taking Phentermine. In February, I worked out 4 hours a week and ate slim-fast for 10 out of my 19 meals a week and lost 7 lbs. In March I did exactly the same but added in Phentermine and lost 18 lbs.
Yes, it has side effects and it's addictive, that's why you take it under a doctor's care.
Your doctor might recommend a different one to you, so ask.
