Can you buy weightloss/diet pills when your under 18? or do you need to be over 18 and have id and such?
Question:
Answer:
Trust me, you don't want them. First off, no, most retailers will not sell over-the-counter diet pills to minors; it's illegal in a lot of places. Second, diet pills work by lowering your metabolism and not requiring you to eat as much; if you're under 18, your body's still in the middle of growth hormone production, and the radical change in metabolism caused by diet pills creates a host of health disorders. Even if you're at the weight where you really need them, it's best to wait until you at least stop growing, and even then consider other, safer methods of weight loss.
Just stop eating so much...that works too.
No one should be able to by those things. They are dangerous and don't work for long term weight loss.
A sensible diet and a good exercise routine will do much better with only positive side effects.
You can, but you shouldn't. Diet pills are a waste of money. Despite the easy answers they pedal, they DO NOT work. If your weight is a concern, see your doctor. Or else, just exercise and eat right. See a dietitian or nutritionist. But I can't reiterate enough that diet pills don't work.
u don't have to be over 18 if u go to wallmart and go to a self-check out station thats how i get my condoms and i'm not over 18 lol.
Hey Papaya,
I know at Walmart that they will "card" you for diet pills. I bought a pack of Diurex the other day and the register automatically asked was I 18 or older. Since I just turned 30 I felt pretty good that she asked to see my id. That's a whole nother story though.
very dangerous it can cause you to have a heart attack what it does it makes your heart race as if your on speed.
your not even suppose to be taking diet pills at eighteen,
did you know they mess up your heart,unless you have a low metabolism ,then you can take them but i wouldn't recommend them. usually older people take them because younger people can diet and exercise, but for them with low metabolism it takes more, that's why they take it and to answer your other question 18 is the age.
Just like everyone before me has said you do not want to take diet pills, they do things to your body you may not even know about or have any symptoms of for years. The best thing I have found is at www.newbodybalance.com, and is 100% natural and safe for anyone at any age.
