    Honestly, since you've said previously that you struggle even to eat 600 calories, I think diet pills are probably one of the worst things you could do.

    Most of us here have tried some quick fix or another, but in the end this should be about learning how to live a healthy life. Diet pills, even if they work, are not going to help with that. You are 19 and weigh 120 lbs. Focus on getting enough nutrition and eating at least 1200 calories. Get some exercise. Enjoy your life.

    Just had a look back, you've said before, recently, that you struggle to hit 600 calories a day. You do NOT need to be looking for something else to do to your body.

    I think this point needs to be reiterated. This is not a healthy amount to be eating on a daily basis. Please take better care of your body.

    If you are looking for some sort of pill to reduce hunger, but are "struggling" to hit 600 calories, this does not add up. You are hungry because you are not feeding your body enough fuel, and obviously, if you are hungry, you are not struggling to hit 600 calories.

    my experience with diet pills is I had to call my mom from three counties away and get her credit card number to stay in a hotel after thinking it would be a great idea to go find my surfer new BF without an address or anything because they made my mind hyper. then after the weekend where I never found him and he of course had been at a beach 2 blocks from where I'd stayed but it's hard to hear your cell phone with all the waves crashing, and harder when GF isn't even dialing your number because she forgot her cell phone at home because she rushed out the door all hurried cause diet pills, so yeah we didn't connect that weekend, I wasted tons of money on gas, my mom's money on hotel room, anxiety staying there alone, etc.

    When I told this story to my dr. he wondered why this happened and re-examined the medicine he put me on for pain which is why my mom told me i should tell him. Then he saw nothing that should cause this so he ordered bloodwork and came back mad asking why I lied about taking street drugs. I said I'm not lying. This went back and forth a bit and then he left the room. At some point he came back and said, did we ever send you to that weight loss class you wanted because my paperwork doesn't show it but you look thinner? Oh i'm taking pills that's why. And you have the sniffles? Yeah, so? So did you take cold medicine too? Yes. Bingo! Diet pills +cold medicine combined in your system to look like speed on our tests. They also looked like speed in your blood stream so that explains that ridiculous trip you took. and your wonky mind set.

    that's my experience with diet pills. it made me look, act, and blood test like a junkie. No thanks.

    *Some comment have been far from helpful all I wanted was to be informed, before I made a choice that could effect my body. Yes I know there are no magic pills, or anything like that. I only wanted to be infromed some of you thank you for your input, experiences and advice.*

    The comments you call "far from helpful" are probably the most helpful comments on the topic! Just because you don't like what they say or how you perceive the comments have been made doesn't mean that they aren't the best possible advice.
    Also maybe you would benefit from using the search function before you post a topic in future, there are a wealth of exactly the same topic to choose from usually ending in precisely the same way :flowerforyou:

    Sadly there is no magic to be found in a pill to achieve a healthier you. Its all about eating right and exercising. I do use Advocare products however I view them as nutritional supplements to my efforts and not weight loss magic pills. If I don't use MFP to track food and get my money's worth out of my gym membership I would forever be complaining about the fat around my middle.

    Knowledge, hard work, have a plan, exercise, eat right. <---there's your magic pill :)

    yes.

    1) get the whey protein pill. if you can't find it in pill form, it's more readily available in whey protein powder form. take enough every day in addition to food to meet your protein goal.
    2) count calories.

    The bottom line here is that anything you use to help you diet will do just that, it will help you diet. Dieters may lose weight but never successfully. If you want to lose weight you need to make lifetime changes. If you lose a lot of weight very quickly it will be very hard if not impossible to stop dieting and maintain. Eat your TDEE minus 20% and eat your exercise calories to maintain a constant deficit. When you reach your goal in this way...AND YOU WILL. Adding the 20% back will be relatively easy as you will not have much to alter.

    There is so magic pill. Diet and exercise combined will do the job.

    You want to "get fit" and "do it healthy this time(according to your profile) then this time you need to stop thinking about diet aids. Strength train and eat your TDEE -20% and stop looking for short cuts.

    ^^This 100%

    I found a great diet supplement I take every day. It fills me up and gives me great energy, too! Here's what's in it:

    Turkey
    Chicken
    Broccoli
    Green beans
    Tomatoes
    Eggs
    Yogurt
    Cheese
    Milk
    Quinoa
    Pasta
    Rice
    Ice cream
    Chocolate

    It's called food.

    I agree eating right and exercise however I do use herbalife shakes as a quick meal replacement and it does work but any protein shake will help.

    Gotta love those moms that told us we were fat! Thanks Ma! And someone also mentioned: Heroin works really well, did for me on and off for 10 years! Its NO WONDER I gained 100 lbs the blessed year I sobered up! Drugs, be they Street or Legal are Never the solution. :)

    My best friend took hydroxycut and it put her in a hospital- literally made her have a breakdown and the doctor said it was definitely from the pills side effects. Not worth it- follow the advice on this thread instead (minus the heroin ;-) )

    No, from my own experience and I have probably tried everything OTC. However, I have bought some preworkout drink mixes that have given me the stamina to exercise longer.
