the best "diet pill" is to eat healthy, avoid sweets especially donuts which are the worse, drink lots and lots of water as it will give you a full feeling,Eat alot of fruits and veggies-stay away from all fatty foods-never ever eat french fries!
Exercise regulary, walk when evr possible as in taking stairs instead of using the elevator or escalator.
Do a workout video you enjoy.
Diet aids and all the things they show on tv that claim to help people lose weight and lose it fast are a farce-its true that what they say if it sounds to good to be true it is-!!

You can take a green tea supplement that has been proven to help people lose weight by increasing their metabolism, but it takes at least a year for this to happen. really.
there just is no magic pill -i wish there was believe me as do alot of people im sure-sorry if this is not what you wanted to hear, but it is the truth.good luck

You should not take any diet pill unless prescribed by a doctor. You will not have a heart attack and die if you take one. You should talk to your doctor about it. He/She will give you an honest opinion whether you are overweight and if you need a diet pill. There are so many different kinds of medications for obesity, and different kinds of pills for different body types. Some are milder than others. All of them require a regurlar diet and exercise with them. Try exercise and diet without a diet pill and if that doesn't work, then speak with your doctor about a diet plan or pill.

DO NOT TAKE DIET PILLS! They are dangerous!!

Last year I was visiting my parents and took diet pills (Leptopril -does not contain ephedra) on top on my exercise routine and normal diet. I was 26 at the time, 5'11, 180 lbs. By week three I was sick. I had diarrhea, dry heaves, dizziness, headaches, and a general feeling of being sick. I thought I had caught the flu or something. I had lost 13 lbs in 4 days. One morning I told my mom I didn't feel good. My vision kept blacking out and I felt (for lack of a better way to say it) stoned. Later that afternoon I was walking from the bathroom to my bedroom (a 5 foot walk) and I passed out. I was rushed to the hospital emergency where they did a bunch of tests on me.

My pulse was up to 120, My blood pressure was 150/40, they had to start me on an IV, the did an EKG on me, took blood and urine samples, and a whole barrage of other tests.

They finally got me stabilized and said that I was dehydrated and malnutritioned. I told him that I took diet pills. When I mentioned diet pill, the doctors face lit up and said that's why. He said they can cause a whole bunch of health problems, including death. He told me to toss the diet pills or next time I might not be so lucky.

I was kept in the hospital for almost 10 hours, given 3 or 4 IVs, potassium, juices, and monitored (by the EKG, blood pressure, and heart rate machines) every 15 minutes.

Please take my story as a warning. If you seriously want to loose weight there are better ways (I know because I've lost weight after this)

The quickest way is to cut out red meats, starches, breads, sugars, alcohol, and sodas.

Eat veggies (salads are good), soups, and drink TONS of water. If you get hungry between a meal, drink water to fill up.

In moderation eat white meats, and fruits (fruits contain natural sugars, and that can put on weight)

Practice portion control. Yes, you'll feel hungry at first, but think of your goal, and soon your stomach will start shrinking and you won't have that feeling anymore.

Eat 5 times a day. A small breakfast. A mid-morning snack, such as an apple. A small lunch. A mid-afternoon snack, such as carrots. A lite dinner. Do not eat any later than 7pm (6pm is better.)

Go exercise for at least an hour a day, incorporating weight training. Weight training builds muscle. Muscle burns fat. You get the idea. It also gives tone and definition. Also do a few yoga and pilates exercises to help tone those hard to reach and stubborn areas.
