diet pills???suggestions/feedback needed.

I used Alli as part of a nutrition study for my college. I didn't have any problems with it, but a few months after the study ended I got a letter informing me that Alli had been shown to cause serious liver damage in a moderate number of its users. So while it's not the same as other diet pills, it's still not necessarily GOOD for you. You're still altering your body with chemicals. So, something to keep in mind...

I use Alli and I can't complain at all. Actually, I know many people who use Alli and it works. It's not really a "diet" pill and it's not a miracle pill either. I don't think there are any miracle pills out there and if they are, they aren't healthy!

I HATE this topic, it cheezes me right off, people looking for a quick fix, you'll gain it back, then what? now you've buggered your metabolism that much more, and will struggle even harder to lose those last pounds! sorry, but diet pills, are garbage. An there is a miracle "pill" it's called eat healthy, not too much and get your butt in the gym...works wonders, really! lol :laugh:

ack I can't agree more, I've heard far more than I need to on Alli and Hcg or whatever the letters are. Ali IS toted as a diet pill whether folks on it want to admit it or not or perhaps they don't realize it's considered one by docs.

Seems if you cut your fat back to a low enough % then why would you need Alli 'to have your back'. That doesn't make much sense to me.

Don't mind me, just tired of being out in the world where everyone is looking for that magic diet pill or potion then thinking I can get away from all that when I stop by here. Nope, seems not to be true anymore. Guess that's why I spend more time in PM's and with my newsfeed buds. I'd love to spend more time out here but can't stomach anymore Hcg/Alli chatter. blahhh:smokin:

We tend to advise Xenical (double dose of Alli) which is prescription only over here to patients that haven't found success with diet alone. To be honest, it's not so much about the effect of the drug, it's a motivator for eating healthy. Why? because if you don't then you have hideous symptoms. I have yet to meet a patient that kept taking the drug AND kept eating unhealthily. Some ate unhealthily but then refused to keep taking the drug. Of course we are always diet and exercise first but tools like this can be really helpful to some people and I'm not really one to judge how another persons mental health (with regard to ability to maintain willpower) affects the way they are able to control how much they exercise or how little they eat.

For the person asking though, Alli or any other diet pill is not for people that only have 10 pounds to lose. We strictly use it in patients that are either very obese or obese with severe risk factors... why? because only then does the benefit of weight loss outweigh the risk of taking the drug.

I remember years ago, going into a chemist and seeing pills on the shelf that supposedly sped up metabolism.

Speed up metabolism and more lbs burn off I thought and bought them. Took them as ordered in the instructions and went trotting off to my aerobics class a few days later.

Now I have to briefly explain that in this aerobics class, she would get us out of breath and then get us to take our own heartbeat. Usually mine at its peak would get to 180. However, two or three days after taking these damned pills, my heartbeat in that class reached an all-time high of 224 per minute.

Not bloody good and I threw them away immediately I got back home. There has to be side-effects in diet pills otherwise our bodies would naturally do what they (the pills) profess to do anyway.

Out of interest, what happens when you have lost all your weight and come off those pills, can the weight go back on? Not nitpicking, just curious....

First off I'm glad you realized and stop taking them and that she was a great instructor and had you all check your heart rate in class. It's what every good instructor should do but not something they all do, perhaps if she hadn't you might not have been in such good shape:ohwell: .:flowerforyou:
