Diet Pills?
Question:
Do they Work?
What are they?
Answer:
Used them when I was younger and more stupid, but they did not work.don't remember the names.
FYI:
The first thing to consider when you want to go for a diet pill is that most of the herbal diet supplements on the market haven’t been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). That means anything you buy over-the-counter (OTC) that promises weight loss results hasn’t been proven to be effective, nor has it been tested for health risks. This has become a problem in the world of weight loss supplements, recently ephedra was taken off the market because it was linked with serious side effects including high blood pressure, anxiety, stroke, seizures, heart disease and death. The ephedra controversy showed that just because something is sold in the pharmacy, it doesn’t mean that it’s safe to use.
Lots of other diet pills promise specific results—such as blocking fat absorption, suppressing appetites or speeding up your metabolism. The reality is that pills that promise these types of effects are probably doing more harm than good for your body. Most diet pills have caffeine, and many act as a diuretic or a laxative. Diuretics and laxatives promote urination and defecation and result in temporary weight loss. But that’s just because you’re losing body fluid, not because you’re losing fat. In the end, these diet pills can be very dangerous because they can cause serious side effects such as nausea, cramps and diarrhea, dehydration and chemical imbalances. Many OTC diet pills promote a caffeine-like “up” and can become addictive. If your doctor prescribes a diet pill for you, do research and ask questions before you comply. Even prescription diet pills can be dangerous for your health, particularly because they can become addictive, limit your appetite, increase risk of disease and prevent you from getting the important nutrients you need from a well-balanced diet. When it comes to diet pills, they are just another get-skinny-quick scheme that won’t pay off as much as the effort, patience and practice of maintaining a healthy weight-loss diet.
DO NOT USE DIET PILLS THEY AERE BAD U WILL GET ILL AND MABEY DIE JUST EAT HEALTHER IF YA WANT TO LOOSE WEIGHT AND DO EXERCISE
My mum takes them, they are seriously the size of horse tablets. They are really expensive and she has to take 6 a day - 2 breakfast, 2 lunch and 2 dinner. As far as she's concerened they work, maybe they are just a placebo but she doesnt eat either. Although she's run out now and is starting to look a little healthier.
I've been looking at diet pills, the two main ones that interested me were metabo extreme which increases the rate at which your metabolism works and breaks down food. I think this one is chemicals.
The other was hoodia gordonii. I think this is a type of tea that comes from india (dont quote me on this) and works by supressing the appetite. It comes in pill form as well.
The only problem with these pills is they are expensive and you are usually made to bulk buy to reduce the price. I dont know anyone who has started taking them and stayed on them. I was reccomended to try the metabo extreme by a website that helps people deal with obesity. It told me i should have a daily intake of 1300 calories and take these pills. I am a uk10/us4. So i havn't taken them.
I have tried them. And almost had a heart attack.
DO NOT use them. There is no magic pill that makes you lose weight. You have to work for it through diet and exercise.
They can destroy your heart.
Some diet pills works. Although I never take them, but I see them work in my sis and my colleague. My sis is taking CLA.
