    Just because pills are labeled as having "all natural ingredients" does not mean they are not dangerous. The FDA does not regulate these types of pills so there is no guarantee that what is says on the labels are what is actually in the pills. Plus, there are some natural and herbal ingredients in diet pills that can actually be potentially dangerous to your health.

    Health stores do not guarantee safe but it seems like you don't really care at this point

    The only pills I've considered are ones that are all natural ingredients, so I doubt they would be dangerous. And I'd only buy from Holland and bar rat (which is a health store)

    List the ingredients? .... perhaps we can assist further.

    Natural does not equal healthy or safe.

    Anything that has a medical effect is going to have side effects. It doesn't matter one bit if it's natural.

    I think it's a little clear that they're going to get pills despite what the masses say...

    You are free to try them and throw your money away as you like. You work for it, you can spend it however you please. But the one true and tried way to lose weight is to burn more than you eat.

    Here are a few "all natural" things: lead, arsenic, mercury, cyanide, poisonous mushroom, hemlock, cobra venom, poison ivy.....the list of "natural" things that are dangerous is long.

    If I'm not mistaken, teatox removes water weight by giving you diarrhea. Not completely sure, though.

    The bootea teatox is a senna-based tea, which is a natural laxative. It might make you lose some weight if you're constipated, but it will just be water and waste. It won't help you burn fat or rid your body of anything it can't remove naturally.

    if nobody has anything positive to say, then dont say anything at all. i didnt come on here for an argument!

    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

    yes maybe i should have phrased it better. but still, no need for people to talk to me the way that they did. what im after is something that could help with my metabolism, or something that could curb my appetite. like others are making out, im not after a magic pill lol

    Ignore the snark. Understand the actual answer. NONE of the pills work. I wish they did, we all wish they did. But, unfortunately, they don't.

    I can only speak for myself, but I used a weight loss pill because I was lazy, had no will power and wanted to lose weight as quickly as possible with minimal effort.

    I used phen/fen because I didn't bother reading past the marketing hype to educating myself about the potential side effects.

    "All natural" does not mean safe. There are plenty of "all natural" products that can do damage. They can interact with medications you already take. Caffeine has side effects. Senna or other laxative pills can lead to worse problems down the road with your digestive track. "Natural" supplements aren't very well studied, and they aren't regulated by the FDA which means that there is no way to tell if the dosage is accurate as marked, or the quality of the product.

    What everyone is trying to tell you is that these pills don't work. Eating at a deficit and being more active is how you lose weight.

    Yeah, no, it isn't. I drink coffee every morning, have green tea every day with lunch and drink diet Mt. Dew almost daily. Does exactly nothing for weight loss, other than have very few to zero calories and caffeine is a stimulant which might give you energy.

    My mom doesn't consume caffeine in any form, except rarely from chocolate, so when she ever does have even a small piece of chocolate, she zooms around like a mad woman for a couple of hours. It does nothing for me because I drink so much of it, so maybe if you don't consume much caffeine, try a cup of regular tea and see if it boosts your energy level for a bit.
