You asked for peoples opinions ......... they have given them... So if you want people to keep their comments to themselves why post the thread
i asked for suggestions on which pills work. i didnt ask for snarky comments!
Ignore the snark. Understand the actual answer. NONE of the pills work. I wish they did, we all wish they did. But, unfortunately, they don't.0 -

if nobody has anything positive to say, then dont say anything at all. i didnt come on here for an argument!
I can only speak for myself, but I used a weight loss pill because I was lazy, had no will power and wanted to lose weight as quickly as possible with minimal effort.
I used phen/fen because I didn't bother reading past the marketing hype to educating myself about the potential side effects.0 -

"All natural" does not mean safe. There are plenty of "all natural" products that can do damage. They can interact with medications you already take. Caffeine has side effects. Senna or other laxative pills can lead to worse problems down the road with your digestive track. "Natural" supplements aren't very well studied, and they aren't regulated by the FDA which means that there is no way to tell if the dosage is accurate as marked, or the quality of the product.
What everyone is trying to tell you is that these pills don't work. Eating at a deficit and being more active is how you lose weight.0 -
Didn't a guy have to have a new liver because he took a natural supplement?0

Yeah, no, it isn't. I drink coffee every morning, have green tea every day with lunch and drink diet Mt. Dew almost daily. Does exactly nothing for weight loss, other than have very few to zero calories and caffeine is a stimulant which might give you energy.
My mom doesn't consume caffeine in any form, except rarely from chocolate, so when she ever does have even a small piece of chocolate, she zooms around like a mad woman for a couple of hours. It does nothing for me because I drink so much of it, so maybe if you don't consume much caffeine, try a cup of regular tea and see if it boosts your energy level for a bit.0 -

Multivitamins don't promise weight loss...0 -

Poop tea. It will just make you poop A LOT. The loss on the scale from excessive pooping is not actual weight loss. Abusing laxatives can cause so much more serious issues in the future also. I'd be very very careful about that one. Although I know you have no intentions to listening to anyone's advice anyway - so just stock up on toilet paper and have some good reading material for your hours in the bathroom.0 -

Hey Sammie, a few things to remember. If you put yourself out there, be prepared for ALOT of opinions, some of which will be snarky. I original question was wide open and up for interpretation. Having said that, #3,0 -
sammiewammie444 wrote: »so i guess you guys are also against multivitamins?
I don't take multis. I take individuals or pills combined in logical units like a B complex, so I can get the forms and dosages I want.
People aren't against X vitamin for an X vitamin deficiency. They are against X vitamin for weight loss.0 -

No. Micro-nutrients are important for sustenance. Poop-teas and miracle fat-melters and metabolism revver-uppers are not. Quite the contrary, in fact.
Edit: OP, I get the feeling that you aren't here for learning or advice, but for validation. Nobody can convince you to do x or y or z. Go ahead and do what you feel is right. The possibly dangerous effects of these "pills" have been explained to you. I hope you take the right decision. Good luck either way.0 -

Negative.
And, not the same thing.
Had you said, "can you recommend a good multi-vitamin? Maybe one that will help with energy." - it would have been a completely different thread.
Multivitamin =/=diet pill.0 -

No. I simply said caffeine pills are an effective weight loss pill, pretty much the only one with clinical evidence (examine.com says it is the only weight loss supplement that works). Someone else said it was cheaper to drink coffee. Even if you drink the crappiest dunkin donuts plonk it is far more expensive to drink it, plus the thread is about pills, not liquids.
Oh and I like the pun, I think you may just be trying to stir up trouble though.0 -
