    They're garbage. If they worked, I doubt there would be as many obese people in the world.

    They're good for losing weight in your wallet. If you're losing weight, it's because of the 1200 calories, not the pill.

    Diet pills don't work. But a good ole calorie deficit does!

    If diet pills worked, would you need to stick to 1200 calories a day to lose? Think about it.

    If diet pills really worked, why would we all be here counting calories and working so hard? Wouldn't we all be thin if there was a magic pill that caused weight loss??
    Diet pills are a scam. They don't really work. Eat at a deficit and you'll lose weight. No pills necessary

    If you could buy your way to being thin, would Oprah be overweight?

    Most OTC diet pills have a disclaimer that say :In conjunction with diet and exercise. So what's working? The pill or the diet and exercise?

    My 2 cents: skip the pills and figure out a reasonable calorie deficit.

    I'm curious, OP, you want to compare what you're taking to what anyone else is taking, but you don't say what it is you're taking. So what are you taking? Was it prescription? If not, where did you get it, and who recommended it to you? Did they provide any studies or other information to back it up?

    Back in the 90s, I lost 60 pounds on Phen/Fen...Fenfluramine was withdrawn from the market after it was shown to cause potentially fatal pulmonary hypertension and heart valve problems, and phentermine didn't do anything on its own.

    That was my last experiment with diet pills.

    Please note that every single diet pill that I've ever seen (and that's quite a few) have somewhere on the label a note regarding that the pill works in conjunction with diet and exercise.

    Every. Single. One.

    Why is that?

    Hint: It's not the pills.

    I believe the diet pills don't "help" you lose weight..BUT...i do believe if you get the right one, it does help curb your appetite to make better decisions. I definitely don't think anyone should ever rely on them what so ever but it helps me have a little more energy to get out and be active as well! They definitely aren't for everyone!

    When people ask this question I'm often annoyed by the sarcasm and snubbed remarks. You all find a new rude way to say " calorie deficit ".

    If you don't eat a calorie deficit, diet pills won't work. However, if you do eat at a calorie deficit, nothing else is necessary to lose weight.

    But.....

    You do realize that you're losing weight because you are eating at a calorie deficit, not because of the pill you're taking? That means you can stop the weight loss pills and fatten your wallet at the same time you eat at a calorie deficit and lose weight. :)

    Rude is in the perception.
