Ok so I was talking to someone today and they told me they lost weight by taking a diet pill from GNC. I was thinking about trying them out but don't know the name of them..
If anyone has any info on them I would appreciate it. Thanks!

    There are a ton of diet pills out there and you can loose weight on all of them. I am currently on a perscription one but will be coming off of it soon. I have just started my weight loss journey but it was used to just give me a jump start. Remember no matter what one you take if you do not make a lifestyle change while using it, once you are off most of the weight will come right back and maybe more. You may not get many supporters on here of weight loss pills but they can work but not alone. Am I loosing as fast cause of being on it, I don't know....may my weigth loss slow once I stop...possibly. But I am ready for that and I am busting my *kitten* at the gym and counting my calories. I can only hope it continues to go in the right direction. I have used many weight loss pills in the past and this is the first time I have the right mind set so hopefully everything will fall into place.
    Sorry about the essay but I just wanted to put my 2 sense in even though I do not have a name for you

    not a great way to do it. What are your actual goals? To lose weight temporarily and gain it back a few months down the road? Or lose weight and keep it off? If you diet and lose 20 pounds then go back to the way you've eaten and exercised for the past 5 or 10 years, guess what? You gain the weight back.

    Eat less, exercise more, lose weight. No need to buy pills which are usually just stimulants which are not so safe for you. Just check the history on stuff like herbalife. Or fen/phen. Or.....

    I am taking a diet pill called Saba, my friends mom sells it and it is mostly an appetite suppressant and honestly it has really really helped curb the middle of the day snaking, I eat because i need to get my calories in and i am choosing healthier things because i don't feel like i need to stuff myself to be full.
    I can eat less an still be satisfied. It also gives me amazing energy all day with out a crash.

    So I cant imagine its going to be perfect for ever but it has helped me jump start my journey

    hope this helps

    I'm always amazed at the "amazing energy" claims people make with whatever diet pills they take. Yes, you have more energy because the diet pills contain a stimulant. Saba is heavy on caffeine. Surprise! Ingest a bunch of caffeine and you have energy. And it's an appetite suppressant. Drink black coffee and take a B vitamin pill, same effects and much cheaper than buying Saba.

    I'm always leery of the "diet pills" as so many of them turn out to have other ingredients which lead to serious problems. The one you're taking has a few minerals which are issues for anybody with any autoimmune problems. And the cost is a lot when you compare to No-Doz or Vivarin which are mostly the same thing.
