Good luck with this topic. They are generally considered unsafe weight loss aids. This doesn't usually go well in these fitness forums.0

Thanks0

I take biotin and niacin. Helps with metabolism and fatty acids. They are safe to take and are in the vitamin section. I stay away from diet pills myself. I'd go to the nutrition store in your area and ask what types of vitamins you can take instead of actual diet pills.0

Has it worked for you?0 -
I would stay away from "diet pills" however there are natural vitamins that help with metabolism. I take green coffee bean extract and raspberry kerotine everyday...cinnamon is also good for metabolism and can be bought in pill form.0

Drink a few espresso's a day, it will be the same thing as taking those metebolife style diet pills. They only work by pumping your body full of caffeine to increase your heart rate and thereby your metabolism.
I'm not a believer in the natural supplement stuff either, to be honest. Every peer reviewed study I've read have shown no measurable results/effects with the use of green tea or cinnamon. As Sheldon says, buy them if you want "very expensive urine"

Not to be dumb or anything but what is TTA? I never heard of it0 -
Waste of money. Just diet and exercise. The weight will come off.0

I don't think weightloss pill are an easy way out. They just don't work.
You have to eat to lose...0 -

That's why he told you to look into it.
Google?0 -
If you read the small print on all of those bottles it says "to be taken in conjunction with a calorie controlled diet and exercise programme"...
Soooooooo in my opinion, its nonsense.0 -
green tea is a natural fat burner0

Carnitine (just a vitamin supplement, naturally found in the body) aids in fatty acid metabolism.

Tetradecylthioacetic Acid. 1 gram/day is pretty effective at increasing fat loss during a cut, or helping minimize fat gain during a bulk.0 -
I just started Jillian Michael's 14 day cleanse thing. There are different pills you take every day for just 14 days. So far I am getting ready to be on day six after I finally decide to go to bed! The first 7 days is a detox/cleansing pill, and you can still eat what you would usually eat! I know for a fact that the detox/cleansing pills are working, because, and i know most dont want to know this, but i am the type of person who only has a bowel movement maybe once a week. and i never have any energy because of lack of sleep. since starting this, i am pooping at least twice a day, sleeping, better, and have a ton more energy!
Plus even better its less than 20 bucks!0 -

Do you have any research supporting those fat metabolism claims? I've been searching for a while but only found some legitimate articles regarding its benefits in for other issues.0 -
Oh this topic.
Yes, there are weight loss pills/fat burners/energy boosters. Yes, they can be helpful....
BUT
If your diet sucks and your training isnt adequate youll just be burning your wallet.
There is no magic pill that will ever replace hard work and dedication. Period.
I know a number of good products and what to look for. PM me if you want info but be aware: I'm probably gonna change your diet first.0 -
There is suppose to be something new coming out. Maybe available now. My dietician suggested it but I don't like medications makes me nervous. Your Dr. would know because the pharmacy companies hound them to try the new products.0

Diet pills=caffeine and a bunch of crap that doesn't work. If you can't stand coffee, but want the caffeine, try tea or an energy drink (just don't go overboard with these). Starbucks has a drink called a refresher that tastes like juice, but if caffeinated and low-cal.0

Yes, Qsymia is out now, and Belviq (which is much safer) will be out on the market early next year. Both require a prescription.0 -

Or you can buy a bottle of 500x200mg caffeine pills for about $15.0 -

I read up on Belviq. Terrible idea.
Why not just eat right and exercise? Green Tea Extract, ALCAR, caffeine in moderation, B vitamins, naringin, methylsynephrine, PEA alkaloids.
The ephedra/caffeine/aspirin stack will never be defeated though. Best ever. Cheap and effective.0 -
I tried Oxyelite Pro... It was really awesome and I lost 2-3 lbs every week. It gave me so much motivation to work out and it suppressed my appetite. I wouldn't recommend losing weight this way, but it is a quick way to do it.0

I've used oxyelite pro because the guy at GNC said it would help give me energy to work out on days when I was really tired, not for any fat loss properties. I took less than the recommended dosage and it did help with energy, but it also made my chest hurt sometimes. I stopped taking it. I recommend fish oil and maybe vitamins geared toward an active lifestyle. I've never come across a diet pill that works, but some things can help boost energy which is helpful when you've had a really long week. Just be careful with that stuff and don't take too much.0

In the past, before finding this site I was able to get a prescription from my doctor for a medication called Bontril, basically its a legal "upper". It is normally given to patients who are about 300 pounds and need to lose weight fast after nothing else has worked. Now I was no where near that weight and ony wanted to lose about 20 pounds, which did, in about 3 months. You can only take the meds for about that time before it is no longer effective. I kept the weight off for about a year. I have gained 10 of those back. The meds make you very hyper and thristy and total increase your heart rate. Would I use them again??? Probably not, cause I feel healthier now and look better now than I did after losing those 20 pounds cause I'm eating right and exercising. Weight is just weight if you arent toning along with loss!
Good luck!0 -

You're right, ECA is an inexpensive stack. Too bad DNP is so dangerous, it's great at shedding fat.0 -
