My roomate (who was never fat to begin with, just little thick) has been taking 'Farenheight' for about a year now and has lost a lot of weight, she now has the perfect body. What are the dangers of diet pills? I've heard that they're help you lose weight, but after you stop taking them, your metabolism is screwed up forever and you'll begin gaining more weight than you were gaining before you started the pills. Is this true?

Sort of. Your body becomes dependent on the pills to help you slim down. So, in order for you to keep the weight off, you basically have to keep taking them. Or be REALLY careful about your diet and get plenty of exercise.

Looks like its caffeine and a few other unproven chemicals. Either your roommate got lucky, or she was going to lose the weight anyway.
This website offer an OK review, but then they offer a "natural" alternative. I don't know, but I'd bet the alternatives they offer don't have any research backing them, either.

No, that's not true. But, diet pills do screw up your liver to no end. The people who are sayin yes are idiots. I am very smart.
