    When people ask this question I'm often annoyed by the sarcasm and snubbed remarks. You all find a new rude way to say " calorie deficit ".

    Hi. Does anyone is taking pills to lose weight? If So What Kind? I want to know if someone is taking the same thing that I'm. And see if they are working good. Thanks

    If you don't eat a calorie deficit, diet pills won't work. However, if you do eat at a calorie deficit, nothing else is necessary to lose weight.

    I take belviq and so far its working great. I'm on a 1200-1300 calorie intake. I exercise for 30 mins a day.it was prescribed by doctor she felt that is would help me

    But.....

    You do realize that you're losing weight because you are eating at a calorie deficit, not because of the pill you're taking? That means you can stop the weight loss pills and fatten your wallet at the same time you eat at a calorie deficit and lose weight. :)

    Rude is in the perception.

    Adipex DOES work! BUT you will gain it back when you get off adipex because that makes you not eat and when you are done you will eat again

    Yes but 20 pages of saying "calorie deficit" is quite redundant, don't you think?

    Sarcasm is my love language.

    I love this!

    I believe the diet pills don't "help" you lose weight..BUT...i do believe if you get the right one, it does help curb your appetite to make better decisions. I definitely don't think anyone should ever rely on them what so ever but it helps me have a little more energy to get out and be active as well! They definitely aren't for everyone!

    At some point, you've gotta learn on your own how to deal with your "appetite". Weight loss will help, to some extent, regulate the hormones that govern it, but here's the catch: if you've been obese, when you reach goal, that appetite hormone goes whack-a-do for a little while, and if you haven't learned to deal with it, you're going to be in trouble.

    It's hard. Everyone wants easy answers, but there are none. A lot of this whole thing is a head game and learning that we control our bodies. Exercising your will every step of the way and realizing you have the wherewithal to do that is an important lesson to learn.

    And basically blocks fat from being absorbed. Fat is a macronutrient and needed by your body. Plus, who really wants to fear pooping themselves at every sneeze or cough? (Which is what a few of my friends experienced when they took Alli.)

    I'm not on any so can't give advice on it. I'm sure any help is a good thing. But in my honest opinion, you have to create good habits. A pill may give you a jump start but when you stop, where do you go from there? Taking a pill to curve your appetite to being hungry again. Preplanning and being on a good calorie goal is important. If 1200 is too low, you're going to be hungry. Research healthy calorie goals for your age, height and all. Good luck to you!

    Trader joe's cheesecake bites. You take one in the morning and it will make you skip breakfast.

    There are some appetite suppressants that can help you maintain a calorie deficit without being overly hungry. But I'd be sure to check the side effects and ask yourself if it's really worth it. At some point you'll have to wean yourself off them and learn to eat within your calorie limit, or regain the weight.

    I tried diet pills once in high school...all they did was make me act like a crazy meth addict. It was awful and I didn't lose weight.
