I used to take a fat burner supplement called "Ripped Fuel" I lost about 40lbs in 2 months with that supplement , a low fat diet and a lot of exercise. I've been off of that for about 1 year now and I see no excessive weight gain at all. I still diet and exercise regularly.
When you get off diet pills you still need to keep the same routine you had with them. Just taking diet pills alone, without exercising or dieting isn't going to help that much anyway. Besides people get too caught up in weight. You should always look at your waist and not your weight.
Muscle weight a lot more than fat. I'm 6'1 and weigh 195 lbs but I'm a size 32 waist. One of my friends is 6'1 180 and he's a 35 inch waist. Just to use that as an example

In almost all cases, people who take diet pills to lose weight gain it all back -- with interest -- once they stop taking them. Why? Simple: Diet pills are usually LOADED with caffeine or ephedra or something that sends your metabolism into overdrive. Once you stop taking the pills, your metabolism drops back down and actually runs at a lower rate than it did before you started taking the pills. I always warn people who are thinking about using diet pills or fat burners for weight loss to BE VERY CAREFUL. A sensible eating plan and exercise are still the best ways to lose weight, get into better shape, and keep the weight off.

There is no case of diet pills-withdrawal symptom like getting fat after. It is only in your diet after you have stop.
I recommend to be conscious of some of the diet pills that were being retailed on stores and drugs stations. There were cases where individuals who took these pills become anorexic which is a bad condition because of severe muscle wasting, and they oftentimes have faint spells. Beware of it!
Goodluck!

Yup. A diet pill artificially helps you lose weight. When you stop, unless you have made a major life change, you will go back to your previous eating habits. They made you fat once, why not again?

No. Discontinuing the diet pills does not cause one to gain weight; it's the increase in calories and/or decrease in activity that causes weightgain.

Diet pills are very unhealty, avoid them.
