Have you all used any diet pills?
The best way to lose weight is to eat moderate amounts of food, plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, skip eating heavy fatty foods, especially pastries, pastas, potatoes and gravy, too much bread,etc. Stick to meat, fish, fruits and vegetables.
And exercise some. That is the healthy way to lose weight. Diet pills are unhealthy, a negative gimmick, a recipe for diasaster. Just another bad drug addiction.
Good luck!!
Plus I was getting married the next year in March. I tried exercising, dieting but it's like my metabolism just stopped on me. I believe it was because of the birth control.
Well, I did not manage to loose much weight for the weeding but 2 months later a friend introduced me to phentermine.
I started taking it and with 11/2 months believe it or not I went to 190lb to 160lb!!!
When I started taking phentermine it made me feel funny but after the second day Its like I had so much energy. My metabolism started working again. I did not have any appetite for junk food/candy to tell you the truth I really did not have an appetite at all, but I knew I had to eat something and when I did eat I could not eat much. I just had a craven for water all the time.
So if you have a problem losing weight I would recommend trying phentermine for a short period.
In my opinion, The old diet pills with ephedrine worked, but now that it is banned the new formulas are basically high-dose caffeine pills. The old Metabolife was awesome, but I do agree that it is not something you would want to have to be on permanently due to harmful long-term effects.
I take Ripped Fuel when I need to lose a few. It works just to take the edge off my hunger and give me a little boost since I don't drink coffee or soft drinks with caffeine and I have found that while diet pills may curb appetite, to see real weight loss results you need to cut calories and do cardio exercise 3 to 4 times a week. Everyone likes to preach about how UNHEALTHY diet pills are, but some of these same people probably drink alcohol, smoke two packs a day, and get botoxed like crazy Besides, what isn't considered unhealthy nowadays? However, I am only referring to OTC diet pills, not prescription ones since I have no experience with those. The point is, diet pills can "help" but they are not a miracle pill either. Hard work and time are still the best way to lose weight. Food/diet journaling is also beneficial for helping you keep track of what you are actually putting in your mouth and how much you are exercising. Good luck and stay positive.
All I know is I never lost ALL of my baby weight no matter what I did until I started eating right, doing Cardio and Strength training.
It is soooo worth it though.
Good luck
