I really mean this as a genuine question as it seems like a really interesting point but would like to apply it to myself personally

The number of calories your body uses in a day is called your TDEE (total daily energy expenditure). This is the number of calories you could eat to maintain your current weight. It's also the number of calories you'd need to eat below to lose weight.
You can use an online calculator (like: http://scoobysworkshop.com/accurate-calorie-calculator/) to get an estimate of yours, but keep in mind that it is just an estimate. Your true TDEE may be a little higher or lower.0 -

True. The only way I have read about to learn net CICO results is a good set of bathroom scales. When one can go 30 days without weight going up or down on average one knows the net results of their CICO numbers are equal.0 -
my suggestion. change eating habits. and walk daily. some ppl have ussues that make them gain weight and some have issues that make them lose weight. if u workout or eat right and see no progress go see a doctor or nutritionist so make sure everything is ok. ull be ok. pills suvk. take some high protein supplements and get amped to work out. listen to music when u do its soooo motivating.0

Maybe the problem is in the "weight loss pill" phrase?
What type of products are you looking for? I'm using supplements, such as CLA, inulin, PhD series for women, I take them with exercise and sticking to my diet.
There's plenty of products for water retention as well, however they work just as good as natural products and only if you have underlying problem with water retention. Maybe your diet isn't fiber-rich that can slow your weight loss as well... natural capsaicin? Boosts fat burning as well.
There's plenty to say and plenty to nag about when someone asks about weight loss pill.
If only that was so easy
Have a lovely day ahead
Adding fiber can help stem your appetite, but it won't boost weight loss. Neither will capsaicin.0 -

Of course. MFP does all the math for you to give you a calorie goal with a deficit built in. I'm sorry if I gave you the impression otherwise.0 -

Most people on here start out by entering their stats and goals into their profile and getting a suggested number of calories to eat each day to lose weight. That's what the site is designed for. If in a few weeks or a month they don't see results, they can reduce the number of calories by 100 or so and reassess.0 -
I dont go by mfp calculator as the exercise calories aren't correct as in we are all different height age intensity
There's a lot calculators out there all different so I think it's trial & error you need a rough calorie guide then up it it lower it until you lose weight which is the hard part.0 -

The answers you received are the reason I asked my initial question. There is a division on MFP as to the use of 'diet' and 'metabolic enhancing' pills. The majority of us (or at least the majority that comment) do not use them, and will never encourage someone to use them.
It's not so much as cheating, but 1. Sometimes those pills contain ingredients that you probably don't want to use and in some cases contain addictive substances 2. Are not ultimately necessary if you are in general fine health otherwise. If you're not, the best thing to do is see a doctor so they can correct your medical issues.
If you feel that you absolutely need something to help, also talk to the doctor about that as well. That way they can put you on the correct path of what to take, rather than strangers on the internet tossing about random suggestions that 'have worked for them' (or perhaps so they just think).
As @cityruss also pointed out, the pills and other 'weight loss' products and gimmicks are made, because people feel the need for them. In some cases it's a get thin quick want, in others because they're not really trying and they want an easy way, and for some it's just that they feel, as you do, that they could use a little help. All the woowoo products in the world aren't going to help you a bit if you don't learn the fundamentals of eating within your caloric means in the first place, and you can't do that with a product in a box, or a wrap, or a detox, or a pill.0 -
Alli worked really well for me. I would recommend it.
But... The side affects of these particular pills are the reason I stopped taking diet pills all together.
I currently use meal replacement protein shakes . I feel like the results are quicker.0 -

Weighing and logging your food and staying in a calorie deficit is the best, healthier and cheaper "diet pill." It looks like you are not doing that, so why don't you try that approach first?0 -

Different strokes for different folks.
I could never use Alli knowing that orange fatty discharge out of my booty is an acceptable side effect. Nope. No thank you. I'd rather count calories and just naturally maintain a caloric deficit.
Orange greasy poo is something you just cannot ever unsee. Ask me how I know. I'm sure someone has the link to that thread handy...0 -

Liver damage was an added bonus for me...

As your past should have taught you by now, magic pills don't work (yes, magic pills).
As an aside, read this. It's a little funny, a little pathetic, and mostly a good warning. Please don't listen to @Dani_________
