Anything worth having is worth working for! Proper diet and exercise will get you there!0

taking the easy way out is lame. Pills for weight loss are pathetic.
eta weight loss pills, not all pills.0 -
The weight loss pills that actually work are actually dangerous.
Pff. What's a little cardiac arrhythmia among friends? Healthy hearts are overrated. :glasses:
So is a body temperature under 102 F :laugh:

diet excercise, increase your protein to stave off hunger. That stuff will kill you0

Appetite suppresant? No thanks.0

Since no one has said anything yet, I hear great things about the effects of Alli of course the side effects include sh*tting yourself... If it's worth it to you, you might want to try that.
I have a very slim friend who swears by phentermine. My ex-mother in law uses phentermine off and on and cannot seem to lose weight or keep it off.
Different people, different results.
For me, I find the effects of coffee help enough with appetite suppression and it's cheaper than the pills...
I'm taking Alli. Have been since the end of January. I've lost 15 lbs since then. And I haven't **** myself either. I've learned what percentage of fat I can have per meal and I stay below it. But it's also meant for those who have 20-30 lbs or more to lose. I still have another 30 lbs to go.
oh and I also work out 60-90 mins a day. 4-5 days a week, a mixture of weight training and cardio.0 -
DNP. Most people lose like 1/2lb of pure fat a day. Hope you can handle the sides :laugh:
what is DNP?
It's a drug that makes ATP production inefficient. Drives your metabolism up dramatically, to the point where it can raise your body temperature so much it literally kills you. It was criminalized after a bunch of people actually died from taking it.
If you don't mind sweating your butt off all day long with your heart racing, and feeling extremely weak, and maybe dying, then it's great at melting fat away. You can seriously lose like 4 pounds of pure fat a week on it.
Don't forget the part where it can make you go blind from rapidly-developing cataracts.
Good rule of thumb: If something was deemed too dangerous for human consumption at the height of the depression, at a time when doctors still recommended smoking for weight loss? It's probably really really not safe.0 -
I take Alieve or Advil. They aren't actual diet pills but when I've overdone it running/lifting/whatever I don't pay as dearly for my enthusiasm .0

The best weight loss pills are comprised of things your body needs to burn fat.
Up your metabolism and give you nutrients and such.
Green tea works so well b/c it ups your metabolism.
same with caffeine.
Other ingredients such as chromium and B vitamins and cayenne pepper are common b/c they do the same thing.
You can get that with foods you just need to find which ones. Also things like fish oils and fatty acids are helpful for weight loss because your body needs them to work properly. If your body is working better, you're more likely to burn fat.
Then there are ingredients that block carbs. You could accomplish that buy lowering your carb intake. Eating more lean protein (also necessary for your body to function) helps suppress appetite - as many people have said.
If your current habits are what caused your weight gain, then what you would benefit most from is a lifestyle change.
If your current habits are great, but you want a boost add in extra things like the vitamins/minerals/oils etc. (and of course doing things that work your muscles!)
You can spend your money on the pills that do it or the food.
I don't post this as a "pills are evil" person. I've taken a number of different diet pills. My favorite was Slenderite but it's $$$ so I looked up what is in it and try to find food ways to get that stuff.
And none of them worked unless I followed a decently balanced eating plan - they just gave me more energy so I could workout longer or, still go workout after working graveyard shift or two jobs when I was younger.
and as always, lots of water.

Exactly. Anything that actually has any significant effect in the body is going to have side effects. Significantly increasing metabolism does a host of terrible things to your body.
Any pill that significantly increases weight loss will, by definition, have highly undesirable side effects.0 -
I don't get this, how are people even recommending pills....
You ever notice on the bottle it says "To use with in conjunction with a diet and exercise program." IF you don't lose weight taking it, they will tell you "well you need to diet and exercise."
If you lose weight while taking it and doing diet and exercise, are the pills causing the weight loss or is it the diet and exercise?
stop wasting your money on junk.
It's pretty hard to out eat DNP. It goes into your mitochondria and starts unraveling your ATP.
Hasn't DNP been illegal for weight loss since like 1938?
Yes. Heroin is illegal, too but it's still quite easy to obtain. OP asked if we knew of any "good" thermogenics or appetite suppressants and I read "good" as being "one that works." DNP is dangerous, illegal, possibly fatal, but effective. I'd never take it but I have the motivation to eat less and exercise. If you want a quick fix DNP is very effective.
My husband recommends meth. lol0 -
i believe there is nothing wrong with a pill to help stimulate metabolism and weight loss i take Herbalife total controls and i take herbalife thermobonds i eat right and work out about 6 days a wee. ohh and they are all natural. Try vega products im not sure they might have a supplement and they are all natural vegan plant based. Good luck0

yep, because it was causing cataracts and death... no big deal0 -

PERFECT example of the mind games behind diet pills. it says, in conjunction with diet and exercise. you are dieting and exercising, 15 lbs in 3 months-ish is a realistic number. Alli is doing nothing for you.0 -
I've used the ECA stack (Ephedrine, Caffeine, Aspirin) multiple times when dieting down. That used to be the primary ingredients in all the major "fat-burners" on the market.
I've also NOT used it multiple times when dieting...
In all honesty, for ME using the stack mounts to a *slight* increase in energy and I tend to lose about an extra 1lb a week - mostly because the extra energy helps boost my workout - causing me to work out more then when NOT using it.
Others I know that use it have mentioned benefits of reduced appetite in addition to the slight addition of energy.
Using the ECA stack without proper diet or exercise is useless, imho. Even with it, it's got very limited benefits.0 -

Exactly! All that hard work in the gym and watching the diet but the pills get the credit???? WTF?0 -
Whle i agree yes diet and nutrition is VITAL for weight loss... SHE SAID she would keep this up.
This does NOT mean that supplements such as ephedrine, caffiene, etc. have not been PROVEN to increase overall burn during the day. They also suppress appetite.
Do i think anyone NEEDS these to lose weight? No. Do i think that it can assist with an otherwise flawless diet and exercise program? Hell yeah i do.
All of these "you're doing the hard work and then the pill is getting the credit!" must be referring to the SCAM/BULCRAP/PLACEBO type supplements out there. The few who have actually recommended something have been studied tried and true.0 -

Wellbutrin for me. Taking for depression but it has killed my appetite and I'm seemingly burning more fat lately. Also, caffeine.0

I have my own fat burning stack: omega-3, CLA, L-Carnitine, and green tea extract taken 3x a day plus caffeine tablet (if no PWO) once a day.0

This isn't a popular option on here but I'm taking phentermine. My doctor put me on it to shrink my stomach and give me the energy to work out. It has helped me with both. I am craving healthy foods now and I while I still drink a couple diet cokes a day, it's nothing like my addiction I had before when I was drinking 8-10 per day. I'm eating very healthy and exercising. The pills dont make me lose weight, they assist me by controlling my hunger, giving me a little extra energy and eliminating my cravings for sweets. I lost 24 pounds my first month and went down 1 size. I never feel deprived.
I am fortunate I don't have any major or serious side effects. It can raise your blood pressure but my doctor has insisted I come in to get checked out monthy and so far mine is still good. You have to be realitively healthy, although overweight to get them. If you have high blood pressure, diabetes and some other health issues it isn't a safe drug.0 -
No matter what you take, if your diet is full of **** food and you don't move your *kitten* daily, no pill is going to help you.0

The Aspirin is unnecessary which is why I cut the 'A' off of it when I suggested it earlier. It's really the only thing that elevates your metabolism a meaningful amount.0 -
I would like to chime in here.
Approximately 7 years ago I quit smoking. And when I did that...I gained 35 pounds. So I was 125 when I quit...add 35 pounds that equals 160 pounds. I am 5'6" tall and I was 36 years old. I weighed 160 pounds when I gave birth to both of my kids. I was 22 and 27 when I had both of my kids. So to be 36 and weigh 160...no way was I going to weigh 160 pounds unless I was pregnant again....and I wasn't. So this was unacceptable!!
I tried diet after diet...and nothing seemed to help me lose weight. Oh sure I would exercise....but 20 minutes on the treadmill....a Wii workout....lifted a few weights....went for walks around the neighborhood. Nothing real major though.
So I heard about the diet pill named Phentermine, So I went to a Dr. here in my town who will give them to a person who needs them. I justified taking the pills by saying they were coming from a Dr. So they must be safe. I was given my first bottle of Phentermine weight loss pills. My mouth got very dry....I had major trouble sleeping at night,..every once in a while I could feel a flutter in my heart.....and it sure did suppress my appetite. I didn't hardly eat at all. I do remember a few days when I thought....geesh, when was the last time I ate. And I drank diet coke after diet coke.
I lost 22 pounds in 4 months. and I was $400.00 poorer...they cost $100.00 a bottle. But I felt really good about myself. I could fit into jeans I couldn't fit into for a very long time.
I had hit my goal weight....so now it was time to get off the pills. So I did. And I gained all of that weight back within 6-10 months. So I tried the pills again...but this time they didn't work as good. They didn't suppress my appetite like they did the first time. So I had NO choice but to try on my own to lose weight.
So now here I am 3 years later....weighing 153 pounds. Wishing I was 140. I am trying like hell to get there. I have been very strict in my eating....and working out like crazy. I have only lost 5 pounds in 2 months....but I hear that losing it slowly is better than losing it fast.
So...please don't waste your time with Phentermine or any other diet pills. Cause once you go off of them....you will gain the weight back. And as much as you say you wont....you will. I guarantee it. I got lucky and nothing happened to my health due to the pills....but I have heard of others who have damaged their heart cause of them.
Whoever reads this....Please dont take the Diet Pills. They are a waste of time and money. Sure its a quick fix....but you will gain the weight back.,..and then some.0 -
Do what is right to help you but do not misuse diet pills.
They are a tool used to aid people in restructuring their diet (diet as in eating every day). Learn from the usage of the pills and continue to eat in a moderately healthy way after their use.0 -
I take Alieve or Advil. They aren't actual diet pills but when I've overdone it running/lifting/whatever I don't pay as dearly for my enthusiasm .

The only semi-legal thing, anyway.0 -
