diet pills...... dun dun duuuunnnn........

Lipo 6 Black for me. They have a mens and womans version. Wife takes also and I swear by them. I know for some this may not work but have been using off and one for a year and when I am using it with a clean diet and exercise I consistantly lose more weight. Hope this helps.

Crank, It;s only illegal because it works!

few, if any, around here are going to side with you on this so don't get all butthurt when people say things you don't want to hear.

All I can say is be careful, a *lot* of people have died from diet pills.

There's a reason that diet pills keep getting pulled off the market, reformulated, put back on the market, pulled off the market, reformulated, put back on...repeat. Many people develop serious lifelong health problems from them. Fen-fen...cardiac damage, Hydroxy-Cut....liver damage to the point of needing liver transplants, and more every day. Too often they don't realize there's a problem w/these products until the permanent damage is done. But if you still think there's some magical shortcut to a healthy weight, where you can eat as many calories as you want & not exercise, then be sure to Google "weight-loss-pills-recall" before you take anything. Even the "safe" Alli tells people in their warning paper to make sure to have a change of clothes w/you at all times, in case of "explosive" diarrhea. When I asked our pharmacist if he sold a lot of Alli, he said yes, but so far no one has come back to refill their prescription...because of the side effects.

But if you want to risk your health, & waste time & money, on things that cause problems AND won't bring you any closer to health....

P. S. For another example, the Lipo 6 Black Hers is currently facing a class action suit by people that say their product is dangerous & makes false claims. You can read about the dangers of the ingredients here... http://www.europeanrevolution.net/lipo-6-side-effects-you-need-to-know-about/

I tend to use water, coffee, and tea to curb my appetite... which I think is what you're really asking.

I am currently taking GDM 4.0 a bee pollen supplement as well as trying out some fat burners and using amilean twice a day! I was just makin sure I wasn't the only one out there using soething to help me! ive been on for 3 days now and have lost 4 lbs!

You didn't lose 4lbs of fat in 3 days. Losing several pounds in the first week is normal for anyone who changes their eating habits for the better. It's water weight, and you should not expect to keep up that rate of loss with or without pills...in fact, a consistent loss of that rate would be extremely unhealthy. I'm not saying this to be discouraging, just to provide truth.

ok so I know diet pills or supplements are usually discouraged on this site. are any of you currently taking anything to help aid u in your weight loss journey? what are you taking and is it helping?

Last year I got a prescription from my doctor for a weight loss medication. I lost 40 lbs in 6 months, but I also took my doc's referrals to go to a dietician, checked in with her office once a month, and I self monitored things like blood pressure. In the year since I gained back 15 lbs, but I attribute this mostly to attempting the HCG diet. A sizeable percentage of the population is insensitive to HCG and being super hungry on 500 calories a day is physically and psychologically exhausting. Do not recommend.

Being on diet pills was the weirdest experience, though. I went from normal-low blood pressure to borderline high. I was exercising and drinking water to try to combat the effects, so I feel confident that I didn't do much damage, and I returned to my normal readings after I stopped. People with cardiovascular damage, kidney problems, and other risk factors would probably have a different experience, but I'm glad I did it. It helped jump start results and that gave me a boost when I was undertaking the huge project of changing how I eat and exercise.

Here's an idea. Go see a doctor. Then you can argue with them

Personally no. What do they do apart from suppressing hunger?

Don't knock suppressing hunger! :laugh:

But suppressing hunger is pointless unless you're going to take them for the rest of your life. If the only way you can have self control is by not being hungry then you're likely going to put the weight back on when you go off the pills because you've really learned nothing and changed nothing about yourself and how you deal with impulses or cravings.

I am on Phentermine 37.5 mg once a day. Prescribed by my doctor. Also I am on 1500 calories per day, and eating several small meals throughout the day rather than one large meal at night.
I am 5 days in and already 7.5 lbs down.
Phentermine suppresses my appetite and gives me energy to get up and do things I would have done before. Like actually going for walks and exercising.....or just getting up and doing things around the house.
