slim quick anyone tried & liked?

Whats your opinion on this?
& if you don't think that you should take pills that's your own opinion and you can state that, but I'm not asking for advice on not taking it, I'm just seeing if anyone took it and liked it.

Because you typed this sentence, I am guessing deep down you know diet pills don't work and you just wasted $5. If losing weight were as easy as popping pills, why would anyone choose to stay fat?

I've taken slim quick. They are basically a caffeine pill that also works as a diuretic. I liked the extra boost of energy I get from them for my work outs, but I can get almost the same boost from drinking a cup of coffee. IDK. In the short term, yes I think they helped a little. In the long term, not so much. My weight loss pace was about the same both on and off of them. Overall, a cup of coffee is cheaper.

Actually weight loss pills can and do work on some people.
I had lost over 25 pounds with pills but i couldn't afford them anymore, so i had to stop taking them.

You lost 25 and gained them back. Hmmm. Did you learn anything?

I USUALLY GET A HEADACHE FROM THEM BECAUSE OF THE STIMULANT.

Same here. I tried them for about a week (before knowing any better) and would get bad headaches.

no

Used them a while ago. Lost 20 pounds. I had also changed my diet and began exercising at least 4 days a week though. And lifting weights.

I think the lifestyle change had more effect than the pills honestly. I ditched the pills and started drinking black coffee to replace the caffeine rush that I liked from the pills.

Now I belong to the "diet pills are stupid" camp

Coworker took these diet pills with Japanese packaging all over them, lost about 20lbs in a month.

Other coworker started taking them, had heart palpitations. Stopped taking them.

I tried them, felt cracked out and weird, dry-mouthed, erratic heart beat. Stopped taking because they were scary after 2 or 3 pills.

First coworker stopped taking her pills, gained back the 20lbs and then 20lbs more within a month or two.

Didn't learn my lesson, spent $50 on Health-E Trim, a different sort of diet pill - much to the same effect as the first time. Took maybe ten pills, hated the side effects, too drymouthed/anxious/uncomfortable. Slight appetite reduction, but that was it. Zero weight loss.

A month or two later, desperate and still believing weight loss was the stuff of sorcery, I found MFP. Haunted the forums, found the smart people with sound logic and nutritional advice who had come a long way. Befriended them. Learned some more. Lost 20+lbs.

Still have a little ways to go, but at least I know now what to do - I'm just honest with myself when I don't get the results that I wanted because I wasn't following the plan or life temporarily got in the way and the plan had to be reconfigured. It's cause and effect. That is all. I keep this on my profile to remind me:

"For results: Look at your body like a science experiment. Add a stimulus. Measure response. Adjust as needed. One variable at a time." -C.Ballantyne"

a good alternative to pills is protein shakes, protein gives the same push as pills and ups your metabolism. I tried pills, many types even some that are illegal in the U.S. because they killed athletes, in the end the weight comes back and you stop taking it because you dont like the shakey feeling from all the excess energy/caffene. I lost the weight by switching my solid protein to shakes. 3 shakes a day and 77 lbs down. I took 2 years off of shakes and only gained 15lbs the eintire time (only because I over enjoy sweets). If I had stoped myself from eating/drinking so many sugary calories I wouldnt have gained any back

ETA: I'm back on the shakes and losing like mad again Oh and I also made sure to eat little fat and medium carbs.
