Why do people buy diet pills to lose weight when all they really need to do is eat right and exercise?


Question:
I know some people have uncontrollable health problems like super slow metabolisms, but healthy people waste money on diet pills every day, Why what is the mindset behind spending 50-125 bucks on diet pills??

Answer:
their thoeory is that they can still do whatever they want and not exersice, and still lose weight! Unfortunately these "miracle" pills are completely useless! If someone wants to lose weight they have to do it the old-fashioned way and diet and exersice!
The easy answer is they're too lazy to do the work and are looking for a quick fix.
Because people want something for nothing. They want a magic pill that will make all their problems go away instead of having to work hard to reach their goal.
I ALWAYS wonder that myself. I hear those advertisements or see them on TV and I get furious. NO ONE should be pushing chemicals on people for weight loss! Once they lose the weight (IF they lose the weight), then what? What have they learned? Exercise, portion control, HEALTHY eating... that's the way to go.
People are too lazy or too busy to do what is natural - which is exercise. Even beyond weight loss, we want some magic pill to cure this ill or that. Face it, if there was some magic pill that would give us the perfect body, we'd all be lined up at the pharmacy to buy it.
It comes down to sheer desperation.

I work out 3x per week, and eat healthy small meals, but have never been able to lose weight. I have bought lots of different types of pills hoping that something would help. Diet and exercise doesn't work for everyone, it has nothing to do with being lazy. Diet pills don't work either however, and at some point I guess I just have to accept that I'm never going to be skinny.
Some people do not like to excersise they are too lazy. Diet pills are easyer you do not have to sweat.and diet food it costly.
Because advertising sells you a dream, but never delivers. Advertising and other forms of media are very powerful tools to give people a false perception of reality.
Diet pills always tell you 'in combination with a diet and fitness regimen. This is true! When you get into a diet pill routine, add an excersize routine to it, add an food diary routine to it. Link these together to keep it under one goal.

However, the majority of America fits with answer #1: It's the illusion of an easy out.
