We would all love to have a diet pill that works....

I was watching Current Affairs tonight.

It will not work without exercise or dieting on right food intake...This is actually from some "makers" of diet pills.

Some of those diet pills contain cafine, and other harmful ingredients that causes heart pulpatations we've read that here.

Basically, ALL state read the labels, seek your Doctors opinions first and nothing works without adding the norm, exercise and a good diet....

So if the people making these pills are "telling us" sure they may "mentally" make you motivated or "sure" they may make you feel not as hungry but pftttttt do that only and you'll never win and or/ have problems such as your heart racing STOP or you may have a heart attack why oh why do people just take them and not "think" about the worse scenario and see them as a miracle? When they could also mean death.

I just get amused by the teeny tiny print on the bottles that tell the consumer to take the pills as a suppliment to a exercise and a healthy diet.

If you're eating a healthy diet and exercising, why even bother taking the pills? Might as well just take your hard earned cash and throw it to the wind... you'll accomplish about the same, only without the adverse side effects.

Just remember, that none of this stuff...pills, potions, creams, etc. is regulated by the FDA in the U.S. and since they are not regulated they can make almost any claim they want to either in a late night infomercial or as part of their packaging.

Your body is a temple...treat it accordingly.

Diet pills are LAME-O!!! It's such a shame that people are making big bucks off them.

I agree, BD... it is a shame, but we all know desperate people will do desperate things and the miraclepill-hockers know this. However, I do really believe that anyone taking these pills knows deep down that they won't work, and will probably cause more harm than good.

But they hold on to the hope that there is an "easy way" to lose weight. They don't want to make the sacrifices (read: lifestle changes) necessary, and so they throw money at any worthless junk selling a quick fix.

Now all we need is everyone to keep writing that on this Thread and who knows, it might be the winner and stop people from taking sugar candy laced with caffine
