    You don't need them. Reasonable calorie deficit is all you need. Save your money. :)

    Sorry, they don't exist. If any of those pills actually worked, no one would be overweight.

    Cardio and a calorie deficit is a pretty good fat burner.

    Waste of money, eat at a deficit and you'll lose.

    Currently there are 5 weight loss pills on the market, but by prescription only and they come with many side effects. It's up to you and your doctor to decide if it's the right choice for you.

    That's like putting duct tape on a hole in your tire. It'll work for the short term but in the end you'll still have a flat tire because you didn't fix the source of the problem.

    Nope. IF they even work (which they don't), what happens when you stop taking them? OR do you want to be on them for the rest of your life?

    Eat right, move more, drink water, take rest days, get good sleep. Repeat.

    Nope - magic pills don't work. Eat at a calorie deficit and get some movement in.

    If there was such a thing don't you think the celebrities would be all over it. I'm thinking of oprah who has publicly struggled with her weight for years.
    If there was a magic weight loss pill that gave long term results she would have found it by now, I'm sure....

    most celebrities do take megadoses of thyroxine to prepare for movie roles

    - as far as to the OP most weight loss and diet pills are just crappy versions of caffeine pills and actual prescription strength weight loss pills such as phentermine do require you to be under physician supervision and have the physician prescribe them

    Phentermine is an FDA approved appetite suppressant to be used with appropriate diet and exercise. I haven't used it but I know several people who have and successfully lost weight. The drug is recommended for limited use and requires a perception. There are, of course, the possibilities for several side effects including racing pulse, dizziness etc

    You forgot the most serious side effect: death. It can cause heart arrhythmias that can result in death.

    Having lived with an arrhythmia since birth, I can attest to the fact that an ER visit for a severe arrhythmia (and the IV meds they used to treat said arrhythmia) is not fun.

    There's no magic pill out there to help you lose weight, they're advertised to remove money from your wallet and nothing else. Weight loss is simply calories in versus calories out and it takes a person with "true grit" to understand that and then just do it.

    I tried phentermine once!! Never ever again. The side effects are so not worth it :cold_sweat: I can't even tell you if I lost weight taking it. I can't remember. I was only on it for 3-4 weeks

    I have found taking a diet pill gives me energy, especially in the first few weeks of my initial diet. I'm lacking caffeine sugar etc and totally not wanting to stick with it. So I take stacker 3, purely for energy. You have to work out and watch calories. But this helps you to have energy for exercise when you've cut off everything else.

    Most weight loss pills contain caffeine. Stacker 3 contains caffeine. It's cheaper to buy a giant container of coffee.
