Are there any diet pills that are safe when a person has high blood pressure?
Question:
Answer:
Do NOT take diet pills! They are dangerous!!
Last year I was visiting my parents and took diet pills on top on my exercise routine and normal diet. I was 26 at the time, 5'11, 180 lbs. By week three I was sick. I had diarrhea, dry heaves, dizziness, headaches, and a general feeling of being sick. I thought I had caught the flu or something. I had lost 13 lbs in 4 days. One morning I told my mom I didn't feel good. My vision kept blacking out and I felt (for lack of a better way to say it) stoned. Later that afternoon I was walking from the bathroom to my bedroom (a 5 foot walk) and I passed out. I was rushed to the hospital emergency where they did a bunch of tests on me.
My pulse was up to 120, My blood pressure was 150/40, they had to start me on an IV, the did an EKG on me, took blood and urine samples, and a whole barrage of other tests.
They finally got me stabilized and said that I was dehydrated and malnutritioned. I told him that I took diet pills. When I mentioned diet pill, the doctors face lit up and said that's why. He said they can cause a whole bunch of health problems, including death. He told me to toss the diet pills or next time I might not be so lucky.
I was kept in the hospital for almost 10 hours, given 3 or 4 IVs, potassium, juices, and monitored (by the EKG, blood pressure, and heart rate machines) every 15 minutes.
Please take my story as a warning. If you seriously want to loose weight there are better ways (I know because I've lost weight after this)
The quickest way to lose weight is to cut out red meats, starches, breads, sugars, alcohol, and sodas.
Eat veggies (salads are good), soups, and drink TONS of water. If you get hungry between a meal, drink water to fill up.
In moderation eat white meats, and fruits (fruits contain natural sugars, and that can put on weight)
Practice portion control. Yes, you'll feel hungry at first, but think of your goal, and soon your stomach will start shrinking and you won't have that feeling anymore.
Eat 5 times a day. A small breakfast. A mid-morning snack, such as an apple. A small lunch. A mid-afternoon snack, such as carrots. A lite dinner. Do not eat any later than 7pm (6pm is better.)
Go exercise for at least an hour - two a day, incorporating weight training along with your cardio. Cardio helps to melt the fat, while weight training builds muscle. Muscle burns fat, even when you are resting. You get the idea. It also gives tone and definition. Also do a few yoga and pilates exercises to help tone those hard to reach and stubborn areas.

Diet pills are not safe PERIOD!
I used to be anorexic, and was addicted to dexatrim among other diet pills, diet gums, diet everything... My body is messed up now, and I am 250 pounds and it is really hard to lose weight. All of those shortcuts aren't worth it, especially if you already have health problems. A great, healthy, fast weight loss diet is this book: "The Hilton Head Metabolism diet". excellent.
just diet pills will only add to your high blood pressure, there is a system of pills and shakes though that can be used safely with high blood pressure as I did. I have tried several of the leading diet brands and the one I had the best results with was with Shapeworks/Herbalife. I have used Slimfast, Jenny Craig, Hoodia and a few more but they were either not great in terms of results or cost too much anyway and didn’t do my health any favors. With the shapeworks you get a personal coach who guides you through all your weight loss and ensures you stay on track and improve your health at the same time. The system is nutrition based and very easy to follow and the products taste good too. I used the advanced program and not only did I lose lots of weight and inches but my energy levels were great, I was never hungry or tired and there is no counting calories or points. The coach does all the work for you, all you have to do is take the products every day and the weight just comes off. I needed to lose 42 pounds and I lost all my weight in less than five months, I also lost over nine inches off my waist and lots of inches from my thighs and arms. I used the help of the guy at www.myhealthabc.com, he is excellent with his advice and coaching. There is no sales pitch or anything like that, which makes it even better. He just listens to what you want to do, asks you some questions and its as easy as that. I got free samples to try before buying anything, I just paid a small shipping and handling fee (think it was about ten dollars) and the samples were so good I just knew this was for me. The whole experience was terrific, the support and encouragement you receive is the best, plus the advice on all aspects of your weight loss and general health. My family were pretty unhelpful when it came to me losing weight so I would definitely recommend this for anyone who wants to lose weight safely, quickly with no side effects and receive encouragement along the way. I have also been shown how to maintain my new weight, which again is so easy and love the way I look and feel now. This worked well for me and I am sure it can for anyone, my sister has just started with a different program and has lost seven pounds in her first three weeks. I hope this helps.
