slimming pills..

No offense, but if there was a magic pill out there that did actually work, doctors would prescribe it to overweight patients and we wouldn't have an obesity problem. Might as well leave them on the shelf and throw your money in the garbage.

so do i ..i think i tried everything on the market leave them on the shelf you dont know what they will do to your body. and remember calories in vs calories out is the best way to go...the pills if they do work is just a quick fix once you stop gain back what you lost plus more...

Ephedra was the only non-prescription diet pill that ever worked for me, and even that will stop working after you take it long enough so it's not permanent. Plus it's now almost impossible to get. You're probably better off spending that money on some workout DVDs and doing things the hard way.

There are good reasons that Ephedra is illegal in the United States, including but not limited to Steve Bechler's death.

Using Steve Bechler's death as an argument not to take Ephedra is absurd by the way...

--Bechler's Risk Factors For Heat Stroke---

According to reports in the media, Mr. Bechler had the following risk factors for heat stroke:

a prior history of heat illness episodes while in high school - which heightens the probability of reoccurring incidents;

a family history of sudden death following exercise (his half-brother died of an aneurysm at the age of 20 after overheating from playing baseball);

a history of hypertension and liver problems;

he had not eaten solid food for a day or two, in an apparent attempt to lose weight;

he was apparently not adequately acclimatized to training in the heat and humidity of South Florida;

it appeared that he was wearing two or three layers of clothing during workouts, again, in an attempt to lose weight;

he was overweight and did not have a high enough fitness level to make it through conditioning drills; and,

he was allowed to exercise until he collapsed with a core temperature reportedly of 106° F before being removed from the field.

Pants.

They gave me terrible stomach cramps, diarrhea, and hallucinations. I would avoid those if I were you.

Diet pills, slimming pills, whatever you want to call them, are incredebly terrible for you. The only "pills" you should take are vitamins that has been approved by your doctor.

Diet and exercise is the best way to go.

wondering if anyone else has tried these pills and what there views are on them.

I haven't tried them, and my view is that it's an incredibly stupid idea.

Even if they worked, which they won't, you're going to have to start exercising and eating more healthily or any weight would go straight back on, so it's far better to just suck it up and get on with changing your habits now.

I was all against the "magic pill", but now that I know you can actually hallucinate, I may reconsider.:devil:
