    ^^^This is bad advice.

    Stay well away from diet pills. The only thing they will succesfully help you lose is money. A lot of them are basically concentrated caffeine. The Irish Medicine Board declared 40 brands recently to be prohibited for sale because one of the ingredients in them is known to cause heart problems.

    Diet pills aren't what they used to be since they banned Ephedra (well they unbanned it, sort of, but very few companies use it anymore). Green tea tablets are a good and acai berry if you can afford the legit stuff.

    Eat less do more, no shortcuts, magic bullets or tricks needed.

    What happens when you stop taking the pills even if they do work.

    I'm not a medical person but this sounds risky. Raising your body temp so you can sweat? All that seems to me it would do is increase the likelihood of your body overheating, which can cause serious problems. And all sweating more does is make you lose water weight, which you'd gain right back.
