      The only thing diet pills ever lightened was my wallet.

      Unless prescribed by a dr and you are monitored while taking them by the dr, you are on the wrong site. Miracle cures, magic pills etc, are not the answer. Doing a poll where you ask perfect strangers for pill reviews, it sounds like the perfect start to health problems :(

      Weight loss pills do not work.

      Eating well and moving more work.

      Based on your posting history, it might be best if you took questions like this up with your doctor or a dietitian who could give you some guidance.

      H2O --- it doesn't come in pill form

      Calorie deficit --- You can't get that in a pill either ...

      Hmm ... maybe protein? No that's in chicken.

      Well, sorry! No pills :)

      they are about as useful as energy drinks... well a zero cal energy drink any way lol.

      you will only burn body fat at the rate you create an energy defecit.

      they haven't created anything that will actually increase the amount of fat your body will burn.

      I took diet pills briefly when I was in college, first Dexatrim, and then something I found online. Yeah, I lost a bit of weight, but it all came back almost immediately.

      Here's a list of what I lost:

      HAIR. Yep, clumps of my hair fell out in the shower. This was when I stopped taking them.

      Sleep. My heart would race, I was jittery and irritable during the day. When I'd try to sleep, I'd only toss and turn.

      Comfort. I had massive migraines with the Dexatrim. I also had pretty bad stomach pains.

      I read your post history too, Angel. I agree with the above post. Maybe there is something else going on with your metabolism. Taking diet pills generally dont work in the long run. Some can elevate your blood pressure or cause other problems. Check with your Doctor or consult a dietician.

      Oh no you didn't! lol

      Seriously though, stick with moderate exercise and good nutrition. Instead of spending the money on pills that will make you jittery and irritated until you fidget them through your system, spend it on a nutritionist or some personal training sessions. You'll have much longer lasting results. :)

      Full disclosure though, Xenadrine RFA1 about 12 years ago. Not even sure if they still sell it. It contained ephedrine and made me jittery as heck. But I was in my 20's and thought that was just the sign of it working. I'm older and wiser now.

      How ironic, my doctor just put me on the same pill and it is really working well.

      Simple answer is that there is no "magic" pill.

      Consuming food and beverages at calorie deficit and moving more.

      A method that you can sustain for life will work.

      The original Metabolife worked wonders years ago. As long as you took it the way it states on the bottle you wouldnt have any troubles. But because of some idiot housewives who took a whole bottle in one day and killed themselves, they pulled it as unsafe. Best stuff ever. Never been able to find anything like it since.

      I found a Boardman taken three times a week was very effective.

      There's a reason why every diet pill review says that it works great in conjunction with diet and exercise... because it's the diet and exercise part that works... not the pill.

      Most importantly, be patient. The weight didn't appear in one day and you're not going to lose it in a day either.

      Of course you were fine, you're a mannequin! Plastic science is different than human science.

      Diet pills are the dumb.

      Eat less, move more. Read this?

      Most diet pills, unless prescribed by a licensed physician, are not regulated by the FDA and can contain ingredients that are harmful to your body in a number of ways, including, but not limited to, kidney, liver, and heart damage. There's no miracle weight loss solution, unless you consider diet and exercise a miracle. It's not fast or easy, but it's healthy and sustainable. And learning to live a life of healthy eating and exercise will enable you to keep the weight off in the long run.

      Well, like weightloss pills, they work best with a good diet :)

      Then you are not eating at a deficit..... weight loss is 80% what you eat and 20% exercise

      Exercise burns a sadly small amount of calories when compared to the number of calories your body burns daily just to stay alive. That 300 calories you burn during a run compared to the 1800 calories or so that makes up your BMR.

      Exercise is more about getting fit than aiding weight loss really. I mean it helps, don't get me wrong, but as other posters have said weight loss is about diet not about exercise. You can eat a couple extra pieces of fruit and "erase" the calorie deficit you got from an hour run.

      Exercise is an important part of getting healthy though so I am not trying to say you should stop exercising, far from.
