Ever read the small print? It usually says "works when used in conjunction with an exercise and diet program."
Most of the pills are virtually useless. What causes weight loss is good nutrition and exercise. Period.
Some of the diet pills can help control your appetite and the "placebo" affect can help you psychologically, but none are particularly useful beyond that.
Think of this logically. NONE of these pills are FDA approved. IF any of these were drugs they would have to undergo FDA approval. If they were genuinely effective, they'd be classified as drugs. If a miracle pill existed, it would be BIG news. 20/20 did a recent show on weight loss gimics and basically said they were all of minimal use.
So….they will lighten your wallet, but so far nothing beyond the classic eat less, and exercise more, is effective.
Note that when it comes to diet, more protein and less carbs HAS been well documented in recent years to encourage more fat loss than other approaches and it is healthy. But if you aren't doing weight building exercise, you will lose a lot of muscle too, slowing your loss and making it almost certain you will regain the weight, all as fat.
You need to get your head out of the gutter. Those type of products are schemes to get money outta people.
Eat right and workout it is as simple as that.
Maybe you shouldn't try any of these products as the side effects are horrible. Remember fen-fen caused all these heart problems. I know sometimes you can grow very desperate, I am in that position right now but I am gonna be traditional for a change. Small frequent meals and exercise. Try that. You just lose the weight once and for all instead of the yo-yo diet.
With any weight loss product, the directions are still to diet in one form or another and to exercise. Skip the cost and start a food journal. Write down the fat grams for everything that hits your lips. Stay between 20-30 for women 30-40 for men. And exercise for 30 min. every day. You will lose 2-3 lbs. Recommended by my dr. and I lost 100 lbs. this way. Just elimiate taking pills b/c they do more harm than good.
