Has anyone had any success with diet pills?

Most of them are just green tea extract and caffeine.

Most of them are just green tea extract and caffeine.

So basically I'm better off drinking green tea?

Yep. Better for your health and your pocket.

Best is to do it without any pills, you have to work out and eat sensibly anyway, if your friends are not losing weight I would think they are taking pills but haven't changed their eating habits. Green tea is much better! Appetite suppressants may work, I tried once long time ago, it was ok, I lost weight but felt dizzy and deghydrated.

I have tried several in the past and I would never take one again. They work for a while but as soon as I stopped taking them EVERY SINGLE TIME, I gained it back and more. I am not a believer in them at all. I think greet tea would be a great boost though! Try drinking a few cups of that a day. I know some essential oils are great too with curbing your appetite without the effects of diet pills. I am going to try them soon. Oh, and I have heard good things about some supplements like bee pollen, and b vitamins for energy/appetite. Otherwise, I just wouldn't bother.

i've tried oxyelite pro after reading loads of wonderful reviews.. i took it for less than a month, i did give me tons of energy, but after 2 weeks of taking it my hair started falling out like crazy. when i brushed my hair they were everywhere - in my hands, brush, flour - EVERYWHERE! after one month i stopped taking them my hair is till falling out, but it's stopping i think... my hair never been so thin in my life it's like half of what i used to have i'm sure it is oxyelite pro what caused it, because everything else is fine! i haven't changed anything

i've tried the accai berry pills that u take w a colon cleanse..don't know how many lbs i lost from it cuz i didn't have a scale at the time but i did lose a pant size.....it was from the puritan pride website........the kind of accai pill does matter..........if its mixed w a bunch of other stuff like the green tea then it doesn't work as good....

I have tried several over the last 5 years. None work. I tried Zija because lots of my friends were using it. It didnt do anything except take my shoe shopping money LOL

I've tried so so so so many things, but nothing has even come close to the results that I have been getting from logging onto MFP everyday, getting inspired, and keeping my calorie intake in line. I walk and ride my bike too. Save your money and just use determination and MFP to guide you.

I have tried many different types of diet pills and felt horrible while taking them. As someone previously mentioned drink green tea!
There are so many health benefits aside from the slight thermogenic effect. You absolutely do what you feel is best but I drink a pitcher of green tea a day, I take cinnamon/chromium, fish oil, and vitamin C. These seem to help me feel great during the day and for me personally they help curb my appetite just a bit! Best of luck!! Also, I throw this out there so no one yells at me BUT check with your doctor before taking anything. Fish oil has a slight blood thinning effect.

raspberry ketones wiki:

"When given to mice in very high doses (up to 2% of body weight), raspberry ketone has been shown to prevent high-fat-diet-induced elevations in body weight.[8] However, no effects on body weight were observed with doses up to 200 times greater than the estimated intake in humans.[9] The high dose effect is reported to stem from the alteration of lipid metabolism, increasing norepinephrine-induced lipolysis. Although products containing this compound are marketed for weight loss, there is no clinical evidence for this effect in humans."

Another caffeine pill - :smokin:
NEXT!

I know that a lot of bodybuilders like to use Ephedrine (Bronkaid/Primatane) along with caffeine pills, for increased fat loss. I would say treat any diet pills like a supplement. Use them to enhance your already good diet and exercise lifestyle. They are not magic, but sometimes they can help

I had great success on diet pills....NOT LOSING ANY WEIGHT and feeling shaky and spending money on the ridiculous claims of 'fast weight loss'....eat clean work out, lift weights, its simple, thats the formula. If there was a magic pill or shake, we would all be doing it and all be thin.

....eat clean work out, lift weights, its simple.
As Jess said - It's not EASY but it is SIMPLE

For the last a few lbs, take 1000mg fish oil will help. I had done this before and it worked great.

Take 1000mg of fish oil 3x/day or you will prolly die. Every day

Consult your own doctor. There are medicinally ordained pills that I took once that helped kickstart my weightloss. They are called "Regenon" You take them 30-60 min before your meal and halfway through your already feel full. It works for people who are clinically overweight and should not be taken for esthetic reasons. They also contain many dangerous sideeffects though. I only experienced the mildest form. Extreme thirst.
I lost 12 lbs within 2 months, then I had to stop because I was no longer overweight (clinically)
