diet pills?

Does anyone suggest any diet pills?

I'd not bother with those IMO.

If pills worked America would be thin, Hard work and dedication to healthy eating is the only way to lose weight.

I'm hitting a plateau and I am working alot and do not have as much time to work out as I would like. I have been at a steady 168 and want to be 150 by Christmas! Does anyone suggest any diet pills? What are your opinions on them?

Feel free to add me! I need all the motivation I can get!

Diet pills are only responsible for about 1% of your total weight loss. Change your exercise, change your workout intensity, up your calories. These are all plateau busters.

What he said...

I was in the same position, holding steady at 172-175 for 2 months. Maddening! I understand your desperation but pills are not the way to go. What finally worked for me was my dad visited and my routines got all wonky for a week. I didn't exercise as much (had been working out at least an hour a day 5-6 days a week pretty consistently, dropped down to a light workout just 2 days that week) and my calories were all over the place. I was under cals by about 200, then over by like 400, then under again, then over again. I probably netted the same number of cals as usual that week but I inadvertently did a calorie zig zag. At the end of it (after lots of water to flush out all the sodium of eating out all week) I had lost almost 5 lbs. In a week. My body just finally said "well alright then..." and let go of the lbs. I've basically gone back to my normal routine since and I'm still losing. I just needed that week to mix it up.

Pills won't get you far and they definitely won't keep you there. I know its frustrating but there are better ways! Use the message board "search" function and put in plateau, there are lots of threads with good advice for breaking them. Pick out a couple to try and see what works for you. Good luck!

Diet pills are bad bad news.


My friend is a jockey. He took them to lose weight for a horse race a once. They were supposed to be all natural. He didn't sleep for two days and when he stopped taking them he was walking around like a zombie because he was so tired. Stay away from them unless your doctor prescribes them.

ok so i tried this whole 'eat more calories' thing and honestly i feel like a PIG! how in the world is this supposed to work?? really - you are supposed to eat less to lose weight! this better be worth it...

How much more calories are you eating? As long as you are eating at a caloric deficit, you will lose weight.

I'm assuming you don't eat your exercise calories back. How much do you burn from exercise?
