Diet Pills?
Question:
Answer:
Since there hasn't really been any answer to your question, I'll toss in my 2 cents. It depends on the type of pill.
There are SO many types of diet pills on the market that it's impossible to answer just a yes or no. Some help to burn fat, some help reduce/eliminate your appetite, some help to boost your metabolism, etc, etc, etc.
Most of them say to have a good diet and exercise program in addition to the pills, but no matter what type of pill it is, you will get more of a benefit from diet and exercise than the pill alone can provide. the pills are nothing more than an "assistance" to diet and exercise.
Heck, even Alli (the new fad one) has a specific listing that for every 5 pounds you would lose normally, Alli can help you lose 2-3 more pounds.
Personally, I would recommend going for a natural diet pill if you are going to use any at all, since natural herbs tend to have no side effects, while drugs have all SORTS of side effects (as an example, Alli has anal leakage listed as one. a very good reason to avoid it).
Sorry, but I just want to say that I use the Alli and I am happy wiht it.
What's a little poo in your pants compared to the weight you'll lose? ;-)
I have been using NuPhedrine and it has worked great for me! You can check out the website at Nuphedrine .com and it will give you all the info about it. Skinnyondiets.com also has a lot of great info about the pill. It is expensive to purchase off the website so I got mine on ebay for about $30 less. Goodluck!
I have taken Alli it since it came on the market. During the first six weeks or so I lost 8 pounds without changing what I eat. Since then I've found I need to control my calories a little bit or exercise to see more weight lost. (I started out needing to lose 40 pounds). With small changes I have been able to lose about 4 more pounds so I am averaging almost 2 pounds per week with little effort.
Side effects. Nothing uncontrollable. Some gas and typically loose (not runny) stools but easily managed.
Here's the gross part. You can tell it is working first by the weight you are loosing and second by the pools of fat floating on the water after you go to the bathroom. I tell you this because it amazes me to think that at one time I was absorbing this discusting stuff. I also can't wait to see if my cholesterol has gone down as a side benefit.
So far I am very pleased with the results.
The best range to lose weight in is 1 to 2.5 lbs a week. This will allow your body to accustom itself to the loss and the skin to regain its prestretched stage. Losing weight too quickly will cause the skin of abdomen, chest and inner thighs to sag, possibly dramatically. I don’t personally believe in any of the fad diets that keep showing up. I think that they put your body into an unhealthy famine mode which will cause you to gain the fat right back if you start to eat normally again. The best idea is to eliminate all junk food. You can do a cheat day if you need to but don’t go overboard. Eat balanced meals of reasonable size. Overeating will cause your stomach to be too large and you will still feel hungry when you’re not. Also have lots of healthy snacks during the day. Ideally you’ll want to eat 5 or 6 small meals throughout the day. Carry food with you so you aren’t tempted to eat unhealthily when you’re out of the house. And don’t buy unhealthy foods. Get foods that are low in bad fats—we do need fat to survive but not saturated fat. Minimize the processed flours and sugars, no white bread, no sugar. Choose leaner meats and protein sources. Don’t expect to eat pizza and burritos all the time and lose weight. And eat tons of vegetables. Eat salads, steamed vegetables and raw vegetables too. You can’t eat so much celery that you’ll get fat. Don’t eat too much fruit or things containing high fructose corn syrup. The reason is that fructose is hard on the liver because it can only be metabolized there. You can eat fruit during or after a workout. Don’t eat late at night because your body will turn it into fat. Eat a smaller amount of calories than needed to maintain your weight. You have burn more than you intake. Always exercise. Cardio especially, but weights are good too. Don’t give up. You’ll be glad you chose to lose the weight.
