    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.

    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.

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

    Or you can buy a bottle of 500x200mg caffeine pills for about $15.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

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

    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" :)

    :-) Sheldon is awesome.

    There are so many out there, a natural food store is a good place to look for natural stuff but the keyword is are you looking for a diaredic/water pill or a energy booster/caffiene pill or fat burner/alli drug or multivitamin/one a day matabolisim or all natural appetite surrpresant/some of the stuff mentioned above? Also, what is the main cause?? Are you losing weight slowly or not at all? Have you talked to your doctor about vitamin D or B levels or Thyroid which is directly related to your metabolism and how fast you burn the fat off? Are you lifting weights? What about your patassiam levels? Hormone levels? Are you on birth control? I had an IUD and couldn't lose weight at all or very hard.

    Sorry about the 20 questions but it is important to consider when chosing a diet pill, you can get really ill. I have been on several and they work for a time but nothing has worked better than making sure my system is balanced first and just eating right and exercising. Also, because of diet pills I was bulimic and would drink laxatives, starve, binge, and take water pills until I lost the desired weight. It was an obsession. Take it from me, it does work but it is a short term fix.

    True. So is Clen lol.

    Fat Free by Applied Nutriceuticals = good stuff.
    OxyElitePro, now off the market due to DMAA, made my d*ck limp.
    GAT JetFuel is a safe bet and they make pyro for stim sensitive people
    I'm currently using Hyper T2: 3,5 Diiodo L-thyronine+ rauwolcine FTW!

    Clen/cytomel stack, boom!

    PES Alpha T2 old formula was good. Had 3,3 ' T2 and methyl synephrine and raulwolscine. But they pulled the MS if I recall.
    Any advantage of the 3,5' vs the 3,3' T2?

    This thread makes me depressed.

    Far as I know there is no such thing as a legal fat burner on the market. You fools are spending cash on placebo.. You're more than welcome to show me a blind trial proving the case, but I'm quite sure there is none.

    Even the ones that did work like ECA, only had a boost of like 20% fat loss when optimal diet was in effect. And diet not in effect was 0%.

    Yeah but you can still find MS as a single item and stack if you want. I ran the original AT2 and the reformulated, the original was better obviously.. This is good by comparison.

    If pills actually worked dont you think we would be much more healthy of a nation. Its about diet and exercise (weight training and cardio).

    green tea is a natural fat burner

    I definately agree with this. Packed full of anti-oxidants too.

    A friend of mine likes the the Silver ones. She had them checked out and approved by her GP who declared they are just herbal.

    Good luck xx

Never talked to doctor about fat or metabolism. No on weights i am trying to get a gym membership. don't know potassium or hormone levels. Yes i do take birth control.

    I actually don't know about pills. For me this week I have cut down alot in my calorie intake and making sure i at least walk everyday instead of sitting on the couch watching TV. I am forcing myself to get up and everyday it gets easier. Now for weight training I have a bad back and i need to find what works best for me.
