I tried herbal magic 5 years ago and lost 45 lbs for my wedding. They use herbs/ vitamins to help stabilize blood sugar levels, boost metabolism and suppress hunger. I found that it really worked...the weight just melted off with barely any activity or exercise but maintaining a very strict food plan using the Manitoba food guide (Iam a Manitoban Canadian) however the down fall to it was it was very expensive and I did not maintain it after I finished the program but it's my fault cause I did not continue to watch my diet. I ended up gaining it all back and doubled it but also had two children in those 5 years.
I have decided to incorporate some vitamins/ supplements into my regime but also eating good and exercise aswell. I am currently taking green tea extract to boost my metabolism/ energy levels as well as CLA to help with the extra abdominal fat I have from having a baby three months ago, and vitamin B6&B12 for metabolism of fats and energy levels Nd last but not least chromium which help regulate your blood glucose levels from peaking and dropping causing those unwanted cravings.
None of these are "diet pills"'just supplements to aid in energy and metabolism

None of the products you've mentioned are backed by clinical study that show any significant help that a good diet does. Realize that all supplement companies and sellers over exaggerate their claims of success.AliciaToniak wrote: »I have decided to incorporate some vitamins/ supplements into my regime but also eating good and exercise aswell.

I have used diet pills of and on for many many years (nothing prescription strength though, and one time some dangerous mixture of pills from Mexico). None of them have really worked, I either lost very little, or if I lost more, I couldn't keep it off or if I lost a lot, that was very unhealthy.
I did lose 33 lbs in 6 months WITHOUT any kind of pills just by weighing / measuring and logging food. That's the way to go.0 -

Nope! I want to believe in myself that I can do on my own not with the help of diet pills. I mean I have taken in the past years ago but now its about taking care of my health without diet pill. To be honest diet pills make things worse such as your health with kidney problems and so on. Ask your doctor0

A friend of mine got quite ill at uni after taking some diet pills she bought off the internet that were supposed to increase your body's capacity to burn fat (I think that was the idea anyway). I was always very wary of them and unconvinced by their effectiveness before that, but now even if they worked as claimed, I wouldn't use them because I've seen how unwell she became.0

My sister was on belviq (prescribed by her dr.) she had to go off of it due to some of the side effects, you are not supposed to use it for a lengthy amount of time. Although it helped her lose 30 lbs. , she gained 50+ back when she stopped using it. Plus, who wants to spend over $100 a month to feel like crap! She was miserable on it the whole time she took them.0

Phentermine, it's prescription drug appetite suppresent, it's working great for me. I still feel hungry sometimes. It mostly helps me feel full faster, stops me from over eating and keeps me in my calorie range. I have to meet with my doctor once a month while taking it. It's been around since the 30's or 40's, and it's regulated.
I also take phentermine has been working great, lost 7 pounds the first week, was 40 pounds overweight0 -

Just stay away from them. If they work, the results will likely be short-lived. Eat at a calorie deficit, and you will lose weight.
not true, phentermine has taught me to only eat until I'm satisfied and controls my hunger so I can prepare healthy meals rather than being so hungry I just get fast food, and even when I don't take it I still only eat until I'm satisfied and my stomach has shrunk and I make much better food choices, it has also helped with self control around food1 -
I'm not a fan of diet pills - especially those that can be bought online. You name it I've probably tried it (XLS medical, Proactol, Lipobind, Thermabol, Adios - to name a few) and NONE of them work. None of them. I wasted SO much money over the years on these products claiming to blitz the pounds and it was all a complete waste of my time, money and expectations. Please, please don't believe the hype.
As for pills prescribed by doctors, I can only assume that they have an ingredient proven to do *something* but I haven't really looked in to it too deeply. My mum was prescribed Orlistat from her Dr which made her lose weight purely because she was running to the bathroom after every meal and suffering from severe diarrhea. Not fun. Of course, as soon as she stopped taking the orlistat, she held on to the fat as she would do normally and gained weight. Quick fixes are simply not the answer.0 -

It hasn't taught you... it's making you.
That's the whole point of phen, no?0 -
Phentermine is a DRUG. You need a doctors prescription to get it since it's NOT an OTC. And the drug doesn't "teach" you, you're reacting to a chemical reaction that's caused by it. If you've really learned how to control your hunger, than why do you need to take it?Alyssa_Is_LosingIt wrote: »OTC pills are generally just caffeine pills.

Perhaps you think you're learning how to eat properly while on the pills, but what about when you come off of them? Most people revert to old habits, since phentermine suppresses hunger. You're not learning how to deal with hunger properly and how to eat foods that satiate you in proper portions.0 -
Most of then are nothing more than legal speed. None of them will cause you to learn the habits you will need to keep the weight off once you lose it.0

No thanks I'll just stick with my clean foods.
This is the best master cleanse there is. I heavily advise that everyone on MFP tries this and buys it. It completely detoxify's your system by removing every single toxin held within your cells. THESE ARE THE TOXINS THAT THE GOVERNMENT WANT YOU TO EAT SO U KEEP GOING BACK TO THE DOCTOR!!!!
