Why do you take diet pills?

Question:

I've done a lot of research on weight loss, and have come to the understanding that there are a lot of underlying health conditions that can cause you to be unable to lose weight. I've also read a lot of studies that show these diet pills can make your problem worse actually. They mess with your thyroid, and that can have serious health problems in the long run.
They all say they only work in combination with diet and exercise, so why not just use diet and exercise alone & lose the weight slowly and safely?
Given the fact that they can be so dangerous, why do you use them? Is it that you see this as a quick and easy solution? Or do you seriously believe they're good for you?

Answer:
You know what I am not going to lie. I took them and have been since I was 15 and I am now 25. I just stopped in the last year and the reason i took them was because I thought they worked. Well they did work I lost 30 pounds on each brand that I tried. But that was it and I took them for so long that it was just a daily routine. I thought it was working and the more I thought it the more it did work. But in the year now that I have not taken the pills becasue I have high blood pressure from taking them i have gained all the weight that I lost the year before. Not all the weight but soe of it and have learned that its harder to lose weight with out the pills than it was with the pills. But now I have to work harder and i feel better when I know that I have done it with out any diet pills!

But it was the thought that it was going to work and it did but it was also dangerous. But that was why I took them and a lot of people who do take them do it because it helps to curve your appitte and some give you a lot of energy and they are addicting but thats why I took them.

I don't.

I don't. I don't trust what they would do to my body!

Most people who take them get tons of energy and a curbed appetite.

i dont believe that they help

i dont my friend took to many and got really sick

Most people who use Pills do so for the simple reason that they`re too dammed lazy to exercise and diet to lose weight. They`re the type of people who are always looking for the " Quick Fix ". Unlike you, they`ve NEVER done any research into the pros and cons of pills, all they want are results - and they don`t care just how they get them !. Usually they DO lose weight - BUT - it soon comes back, usually a lot more than before !. But do they learn ?, not on your life, they just go looking for another, different quick fix !.
