...or any supplemental stuff in addition to their diet and exercise routine? I just want to know how safe and effective they are.

    if you mean diet pills... they are just caffeine. Not recommended. The only thing I do after a work out is drink a nutritional shake. I like muscle milk light, in part b/c it is lactose free and I am intolerant. It has 15g of protein.

    I would recommend you stay away from any "weight loss" pills.

    When I first started I was taking Alli and it did help me lose, I am not sure how much because I was consistent with working out and dieting. Right now I am going back to school and working a full-time job so I don't have much energy to work-out. I got me the GNC woman's vitamins Metabolism and Energy (they are new) and I have been taking them for the past three days and started to use my Alli again and I have last 2 lbs this week.

    Consult your physician, some of those products can be very dangerous.

    200mg caffeine stacked with 25mg of ephedra 45 minutes before breakfast and lunch and my workout. BP is normal and my heart does not race doing intervals.

    How do you like OxyPro? I have read some positive things about it.
