Diet pills are like any other drug your body builds resistance to them and their effectiveness wears off when you take them for a while.  \n\nThey do work short term but there are better ways to boost your metabolism and lose the weight.\n\nThere are several ways to boost your metabolism but lets look at the factors that drive your metabolism first.  \n\n1. Genetics - you have very little control, but you are not a prisoner of your genes.  \n\n2. Lean Muscle Mass - this one throws most people off because women think, oh no I dont want muscles and men think I guess I have to look like a body builder.  Lean muscle mass is simply your weight minus the weight of your organs, bones, fluids and fat.  You increase lean muscle mass primarily through eating properly, resistance exercise, and a lifestyle that doesnt promote catabolizing activites (smoking, heavy drinking and drug use)\n\n3. Frequency of meals - the more meals the more the metabolic processes take place in your body and the faster your metabolism.\n\n4. Water Intake - dehydration is a major drag on metabolism.\nMost people are dehydrated and they dont know it.\n\n5. Sleep - getting enough rest allows the body to function at a higher metabolic level.\n\nYou will learn more than you ever knew about metabolism from my source .

Worked Great!\n\nPersonally I think 100% Hoodia in tablets is best! \n\nCheck with your doctor before starting any weight loss program.\n\nI tried many diet pills/shakes/bars with no or little results. \n\nThan I tried Hoodia and......\nHoodia has worked for me...and with no side effects. \n\nFor all you doubters, here is the prior feedback for another Answers user who followed my advice:\n\nAsker's Rating: *****\nvery good comment i lost 2 lbs in a week\ni think i can almost get in my leather dress, i can hit the town in no time \n\n\n**** VERY IMPORTANT NOT TO GET RIPPED OFF --- \n\n#1. Be sure you are buying pure Hoodia...look for the import certificate on the website. No matter the price, if they do not display this, you really do NOT know what you are getting!\n\n#2. Be sure it is 100% Hoodia & not mixed w/other herbs, etc.!!\n\n#3. Keep in mind it stops your hunger pangs…you MUST remember to break your habit to always eat at certain times.\n\n#4. Drink a full 8oz. glass of water with it!\n\nHoodia (HOOD-ee-uh) gordonii - A genus of 10 to 20 species from southwestern Africa. \nHoodia gordonii is the stoneage wonder plant found throughout the dry arid regions of the South western African continent now on the verge of making history in the fight against obesity. It is a genus belonging to the Asclepiadaceae family which consists of approximately 20 species. Used to stop hunger, quench thirst, and provide energy among other things since prehistoric times, Hoodia gordonii was first discovered by the San tribesmen and women to get through the most difficult of times. \n\nYou can read a good article about how it works at:\n\nhttp://www.hoodia-diets.info/hoodia-diet-capsules.htm\nhttp://www.hoodia-diets.info/hoodia-gordonii-diet-use.htm\nhttp://www.hoodia-diets.info\nhttp://hoodia-research.blogspot.com

I've been taking it and have not noticed any weight loss, but I don't take it regularly.  I also take green tea pills, chromium picolate (SP?) and was taking Hoodia.  No real loss or changes.  I did hear a doctor on tv saying that everyone, everyone should take a multi and a fish oil. \n\nI have experienced weight loss by cutting back on beer (my vacation and de-stresser) and eating 1/2 a grapefruit every day, plus fresh lemon juice in my water.\n\nAs far as depression...talk to your doctor.  I know everyone says that, but do it.  Talk to him about weight loss too.  If he says to change your diet..and nothing else, see another doctor.  LOTS of folks have depression.  LOTS.  Your doctor has heard it many times and won't think you are a nut for saying it.  There are lots of meds for it, so you have options.

There's a lot of misconception about ephedra.  It's gotten a bad rap because some people used it (possibly excessively) while starving themselves, not drinking enough fluids, and training in 100 degree heat and (no surprise) unfortunately died in the process.  I won't say ephedra didn't negatively affect the situation, but I will say that taken properly it can provide safe and beneficial results.  \nThe rules are pretty simple.  Take a low dosage - Try half the recommended to start with.  If you feel OK, slowly ramp up your intake.  Don't exceed the recommended dosage; personlly I would never even take that much.  As ephedra is a stimulant, back off the other stimulants in your diet (caffiene), or balance them by taking a reduced amount of ephedra.  The most effective fat burner products (original hydroxycuts, xenedrine RFA for example) combined ephedrine with caffiene and oddly enough - aspirine.  The so-called "ECA stack" was one of the most potent combinations for increasing metabolism.  I've tried about 4 different products like this and they each were impressive, but trust me, straight ephedrine is more than enough.  \nI wouldn't recommend ephedra alone for weight loss.  In fact, it should not be the first idea coming to mind.  Exercise and healthy diet really are the key foundation - any extra help in the way of metabolism boosting should be secondary.  \nI think ephedra can be safe.  It's not for everyone and if you want to use it then proceed slowly and see how your body reacts.  I would say over 95% of people I know don't have a problem with it, but some can't handle the jitters it gives them.

No, it's all about eating right and excerising.  If there was a magic pill there would be no fat people on earth LOL.\nAnd you have to be very careful about diet ads... like the Trimspa has a lot of warning on the bottle and I didn't lose a pound from taking it.  I have started losing weight by swimming and running.

I've tried a few of the diet pills out there, and I've gotta say none of them worked for me. Although a friend of mine has tried the very same pills and it worked for her. We have the same activity level, we walk daily and lift light weights. So I really think it depends on the person taking them, every one has a different chemical make up so the reaction will be different. \nIf you want to try one, I'd suggest SlimQuick, that's the one that works best for my friend.

Well I've taken plenty of diet pills and most of them have ephedrine or are caffeine based products.\n\nI would get really shaky and hyperactive and by the end of the day i was extremely tired. So worn out.\n\nI never lost weight, but some of them do work if you exercise and drink plenty of water.\n\nRead whats actually in the pills and investigate the side effects of each ingredient.\n\nBe safe and eat healthy!! :)

NOPE...just another diet scam.  There isn't a shred of scientific data to support this, but scammers will still sell you anything.\n\nSee link below

The "weird side effects" part will exclude the supplement I took. GNC offered Xenadrine with ephedra some years back (before it was banned). The GNC store rep pretty much told me that it has no side effects and it is completely safe. He even showed me the testimonials from such celebs as Sylvester Stallone and said it was legitimate. (I should have known then and there that if Sly's stamp of quality is on a product, something must be wrong)\n\nWhile I did lose weight because it completely suppressed my appetite (to the point where in the first couple days I barely ate anything), but my heart beat almost twice as fast at rest and when I tried to exercise I was winded within 10 minutes. I wasn't really extremely overweight, just maybe 5-10 pounds over my normal weight. Plus I did exercise before I took the ephedra. Xenadrine later went on to claim that the reports of deaths from their supplement were erroneous because the people who had been taking ephedra were so overweight and out of shape that they would have had heart attacks anyway. I think that's complete nonsense. I could run several miles before taking that drug and I wasn't more that a few pounds over my normal weight. After taking it I could barely run half a mile before getting totally winded and flushed. The drug is dangerous, period.\n\nThe one thing I hope you can take away from this anecdote is that you should never take a supplement's testimonials at face value. For one, they have a conflict of interest: they must claim their product is both safe and effective or else they run out of business. Secondly, GNC and its store reps are often as much to blame as the companies, because they may gloss over evidence that shows that the supplement is not safe in order to make a sale. I have often wondered how GNC can claim it is about health and well-being when practically half of their products have no scientific evidence behind them. Frankly, a lot of the stuff GNC offers is borderline "speed" or anabolic steroids- albeit made in such a way to appear it is "natural" or "herbal". Cyanide is also natural.\n\nXenadrine now has a supplement that no longer contains ephedra (aka ma juang). But it still contains a lot of stimulants. Anna Nicole Smith lost a ton of weight because they basically drugged her up with stimulants (I mean seriously, you think she actually worked out to get that way?).\n\nCaffeine is a common ingredient in weight loss and energy supplements. Caffeine suppresses your appetite while also increasing your metabolism. I guess it's good, to a point. But the levels of caffeine in some of these supplements makes them equivalent to 5 or more cups of coffee. Try drinking that amount of coffee and see what results you get. You will get all jittery, nervous, and easily peeved.\n\nThese supplements will work initially since they suppress appetite. But you don't really want to take them in the long run. They won't change your lifestyle. If anything, they will make you more dependent on them. Once you go off the supplements, your metabolism will be so out of whack that you'll start to pack on the pounds again. Weight bearing exercise to build muscle mass and aerobic exercise, along with a reduction in caloric intake, are the only effective, long-term ways to lose weight. Supplements aren't for the long term, even if they do work initially.

No diet pill sold over the counter works. Nothing sold on TV works. If the bottle, ad, website or commercial says "this product/these claims have not been evaluated by the FDA" it's bogus.\n\nGo to your doctor for a diet pill if you really need one. But try exercising & cutting back on food first--it works wonders.

Did absolutely nothing for me.  I only had 10 pounds that I wanted to take off. I have tried everything on the market.  Yea, I hate exercising and have had a lot of success in the past w/ products like the original Diet Fuel and T-Burn - both w/ ephedra.  So when they took ephedra off the market, I started trying everything under the sun.  I bought Hoodia online and tried it for 2 straight weeks; it was like taking a sugar pill.  I had absolutely no beneficial side affects from it at all - No increased energy, No suppressed appetite, and No increased metabolism.  I was actually more dehydrated when I was taking it which is just the opposite of what it claims.\n\nDon't waste your money - I started walking everyday for 40 mins and now I'm 15 lbs thinner! =)

just recently the FDA warned 16 manufacturers of weight loss supplements for making exaggerated, unsubstantiated claims about their products. \n\n"These products give unfounded hope to people who are attempting to lose weight. False and misleading claims have significant health consequences to individuals that may be overweight because these products do not produce the desired results..."\n\n\nWhat Are Fat Burners?\n\nFat burners are essentially pills which contain certain herbal ingredients such as Ephedra, HCA, Chitosan and Pyruvate, all of which claim to either increase energy, stimulate your metabolism and/or suppress your appetite. \n\nThe Dirt on Fat Burners \n\nChitosan \n\nWhat it is: A substance derived from the external skeletons of marine animals, such as crabs (ew!) \nWhat it does: Chitosan binds to fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E and K), which prevents the body from absorbing them. \nWhere it lives: Twin Lab's Diet Fuel With Chitosan, Biotech's Fat-B-Gone With Chitosan \nShould you take it? That's up to you. First, there's a concern that Chitosan impairs absorption of carotenoids which the body converts into vitamin A. Second, most experts agree that Chitosan simply doesn't work. A handful of studies suggest that Chitosan might help trim fat, but these studies have not been published in peer-reviewed journals such as JAMA. For more info, see WebMD's take on Chitosan. \nEhpedra \n\nWhat it is: A powerful herb grown in Mongolia and China. Ephedrine (an extract of Ephedra) is an amphetamine-like compound which stimulates the nervous system and heart. \nWhat it does: An effective treatment for asthma, allergies, and sinus problems. Usually marketed for weight loss, performance enhancement, energy, or body building. \nWhere it lives: The Original Formula One, Ripped Fuel, Muscletech's Hydroxycut \nShould you take it? Um, not without some good research. Since 1994 the FDA has received more than 800 reports of adverse effects associated with products containing Ephedra. These include: high blood pressure, irregular heart rate, nervousness, insomnia, headaches, heart attacks, seizures, strokes and death. What's scary is that many of these problems occurred in young/middle aged, healthy adults who used it for weight loss. The problem often stems from mixing ephedrine with caffeine, a big no-no. Check out the Department of Health & Human Services for detailed info on the problems with Ephedra. \nPyruvate\n\nWhat it is: HCRC defines Pyruvate as: "a three-carbon (triose) ketoacid produced in the end stages of glycolysis." Translation: Pyruvate is a product of sugar metabolism. \nWhat it does: Marketers claim it can increase fat and weight loss, reduce cholesterol, and improve endurance. \nWhere it lives: Twin Lab's Pyruvate Fuel, Pinnacle Pyruvate 500 \nShould you take it? William Sukala, an expert trainer at Health Care Reality Checks says: "The minuscule doses available in commercial supplements have not been proven effective in any available research." Basically, the research that has been done doesn't support marketers' claims. It seems safe right now, but, like everything else, needs further study. \nHCA (Hydroxycitrate) \n\nWhat it is:A natural food substance extracted from the fruit of the Garcina cambogia tree grown in southern India. \nWhat it does: HCA supposedly curbs appetite and increases glycogen storage without affecting muscle or energy levels. \nWhere it lives: No-Diet Diet, Bio-Max 3000, MicroSlim, and Body Busters (among others) \nShould you take it? Not unless you enjoy wasting your money. According to a study published in JAMA, HCA is ineffective for weight loss. \nConclusion\nAs you can see, the research on fat burners is sketchy at best. No one can say with any certainty that fat burners work or if they are safe to take over a long period of time. What is a proven method of weight loss is exercise coupled with a healthy, low-calorie

Hi,\nI tried this xenadrine and wasn't happy with it.  Hoodia works much better!  I've tried all different diets, and the weight loss is only temporary. I finally tried diet pills on the market are made from Hoodia. I saw this stuff on ABC News. It's all natural and safe, and it works! My wife took it for a month and dropped 20 pounds. I took it for a  month and lost about 13 (but I didn't exercise).\n\nI bought the natural hoodia from this website: http://www.alllsite.info/free-diet-pills.php . I checked the web site address so I can post it here and I saw they're running a promotion now to get a free 2 week sample for only $4.97! I'm going to order this supply for my wife and give it to her for Christmas =)I tried

It's not legal but you can get around that by going to Privately owned supplment stores they uselly still carry it. Or you can take vitamins that have epherine in them. But I wouldn't do that only because there have been deaths linked with the use of epherine. I use to be over weight after 6months of going to the gym 3 times a week, eating healthy and not eating after 7pm only drinking water, and 2cups of coffee with milk and splenda. I lost 50 lbs. about 10 pounds a month.

interesting! Zenical in UK and Xenical in US, anyways, health journals do not suggest products like this since most of these things quit working despite continued use at 6-12 months, healthy diet, regular exercise, caloric count and gradual caloric reduction will eventually offer longer lasting help, good luck
