I would never take diet pills (don't need to, as I am not even slightly fat). Just eat a healthy balanced diet. Lots of fresh fruit and raw or lightly cooked vegetables, nuts etc, and lean meat. get a bit of exercise everyday, and diet pills will be unnecessary.

All the weight loss stuff on TV, gum, pills anything, if you look close at the bottom it says

*With proper exercise and diet


..... Well there's a clue.

Edit- I just realize that sounded rude and I apologize, I didn't intend for it to be, I just think those ads are stupid because it just points out they don't really work because you can lose just as much as they say with diet and exercise alone. I suggest trying that! Good luck. I'm going to start trying too soon, I just have low ambition lol

Depends what type of pills. Do you take a multivitamin? I take natural vitamin and mineral supplements as we are not able to get the right amount of nutrition from the food we eat.
I also take smoothies/shakes as meal replacement in a weight managament program. I can send details if you like.

Pills just give you a new problem, they're not worth it. My cousin tried Alli- it did embarrassing things to her intestinal track Exercise has worked for me. Take it slow, when I did the fast route it came back fast. Over the last five years I've lost 60 lbs., I eat what a want in moderation, and the weight stays off. Yoyo diets and pills will probably give you heart trouble. It's rough, but you can do it Oh, I chew a lot of sugarfree gum.

..."I don't really like pills"...

I think you have yourself an answer.

Eating healthy and getting regular exercise is the best way to lose weight (if you aren't already 250kgs and stuck in bed, of course). Pills may help you lose weight in the short term but most of the time, when you stop taking the pills, you'll put weight back on. Don't think of eating healthy and exercising as a diet, because it's not a diet, it's a healthy lifestyle that everyone who wants to live a long and healthy life should adopt.

I just started on the pills.
For once, i'm actually serious about losing weight.

There is no such thing as a "magic pill" that will make weight loss easy.

It's usually a tough thing to do, though it does depend on the person.

Nothing beats a well designed exercise program and a strict, healthy diet when it comes to losing weight.
