I agree! there are gyms that have healthy eating plans, I just started one!Stay away from them and get better eating habits.
I tired those sort of pills way back, maybe 12 years ago. To be honest they do seem to work, they help take off weight faster. But they do make you feel dizzy or lightheaded. I wouldn't recommend them.
What I have been doing for the last while, and it continues to work.
Is setting a meal plan up in advance for the entire week.
You can control your calories, as well as protein, fat and carb intake quite easily. I use a facebook app called my diet.

Why not just snort coke?

Stop eating crap - the typical (gov't endorsed) North American diet - and adopt a more plant based diet where the bottom of the food pyramid becomes a plate loaded with dark leafy greens & vegetables, topped with small amounts of healthy fats, legumes, nuts, seeds, whole grains, fruit & if you wish, animal protein. It's a radical shift in thinking and won't make the big food companies happy but your body will thank you for it.

Usually that happens because you didn't drink enough water with it.But they do make you feel dizzy or lightheaded. I wouldn't recommend them.

Sure but the drug is not good for you. All it's doing is putting more stress on your body and you burn more energy. How your body handles it is different for everyone. Maybe some people's hearts blow up.
Anyways, I've taken it lots long ago, but I'd never recommend anyone to do it now. Especially if you think you can just pop these pills and just sit around all day and eat like crap and still lose weight.

The active ingredients in most of these diet pills are ephedrine and large amounts of caffeine. Ephedrine is now illegal in Canada. A few years ago (before it was made illegal), I got stuck in the cycle of taking diet pills.
What CadMan said is bang on. There are far too many negative side effects, and dangers associated with taking diet pills.
My own experiences with them were not good. Yes - at that time period, I was the slimmest I have ever been... but at a cost. I was irratable much of the time (after the intial euphoria), my heart would race, I would get cold sweats, headaches, and insomnia. lol I should mention that I was fired from a supervisory position at that time in my life for an outburst with a co worker I was supervising!
I was taking 1-2 a day before my workouts... and that's how it started. Then I started taking one before work. I was working 12 hrs a day everyday (2 jobs), and felt like I could not go a day without that extra energy.
They are addictive, and there are actually physical withdrawal symptoms when you stop taking them. I took them for a year and a half.
In addition to all the negative effects that other posters and I have mentioned, there are also 3 more to consider:
They wear out your adrenal glands.. and can seriously fuck with your metabolism long term (it will take a while to get back to normal when you discontinue taking them).
Diet pills can actually inhibit muscle growth.
Diet pills can cause permanent Tinnitus.
Long term effects for me?? - I have permanant Tinnitus, and an ear condition.
I have not taken any diet pills in years, and never would again.

hey all. wow there have been alot of replies to this one. so going off of clara's response, obviously you/she used these pills for about 1 1/2 yrs, so what if someone were to only use them for a couple of months? would the negative effects still occur you think?
Even taking them for 2 months.. you will notice these bad effects... not necessarily the long term effects... but shorter term ones, such as racing heart, irratability etc.hey all. wow there have been alot of replies to this one. so going off of clara's response, obviously you/she used these pills for about 1 1/2 yrs, so what if someone were to only use them for a couple of months? would the negative effects still occur you think?
I'm using a natural weight loss product (4 product system actually) that is safe and it works. If you'd like to know more, PM me.
