The Dangers of Weight Loss Pills
There are so many weight loss products on the market, some prescriptions and other over the counter drugs that are supposed to help you lose weight. Often many of these products can actually have devastating effects on your health. Some medications can cause side effects such as stroke, heart attack, tachycardia, and in some extreme cases death. These side effects sound scary, but one may wonder how realistic these side effects are.
There are several different forms of diet pills. The two most popular forms of diet pills are appetite suppressants and stimulants. Both of these have been approved to aid in weight loss if the obesity is considered to be more dangerous than the effects of the drugs. If you are less than 30 pounds overweight things are much different then for those that are obese. Prescription medications are very regulated but over the counter medications have risks that have not been documented.
There are many requirements that are required out of pharmaceutical companies, which include tests and labeling, but weight loss supplements do not undergo the same requirements. They do not even have to be reviewed by the FDA if they do not have an ingredient that has not been used for weight loss before. The company that makes the drug is supposed to be responsible for the product, but many times they use unhealthy ingredients and dosages that are much too high.
Since not all over the counter weight loss medications are regulated you need to take precautions before you take them. You need to be sure that you research these medications. Find out the information about the active ingredient in the medication and find out what risks there are to keep in mind.
You should also be sure to take the time to talk new weight loss products with your doctor. Often these products can have a reaction with medications that you are already taking, so you want to be sure that you can take this new medication without any adverse effects. Also be sure that you follow the instructions and do not take more than is recommended even though it may be tempting.
You should never take weight loss medication long term unless it has been prescribed by your physician. Be sure to talk to your pharmacist or doctor to be sure there are no reactions with your current prescriptions or even other over the counter medications you may be taking.
Often the best defense may be not taking Weight Loss medications at all. There are many risks that have been associated with weight loss pills and it is not worth the risk of losing your health or your life to lose a little weight. If you want to lose weight talk to your doctor and come up with a plan that will help you lose weight in a healthy and safe way.
What are the serious problems with diet/weight loss pills?
I’ve heard quite a bit about the down sides of taking weight loss pills but i want to know what real dangers there are with them n the specific ones too and if it is advisable to take some. i need to lose a couple pounds before christmas…
Please tell me what u think about Alli
My wife has tried most things to lose weight but nothing has worked nearly as well as the wu yi tea that she drinks, it’s been covered on CNN and Fox News. She melted away 7 pounds in four weeks. She gets it from a contact at work but I found this site in Google; http://www.Wu-YiNow.com – they have a free trial on at the moment, maybe they’re worth a try?

no. 1, they don’t burn fat.
no. 2, they suppress your appetite. therefore, you find yourself in the “starvation mode” cycle. which ALWAYS leads to regain of what was lost PLUS more.
you can lose a “couple” of pounds by xmas by walking around the block a few times every night.
why waste your hard earned dough on pills that dont work and/or will make your situation worse?

First of all, my husband tried Alli when it was only available by prescription….the side effects were horrible. You literally lose control of your bowel function. Disgusting!
Diet pills are not the answer to weight loss. There are too many side effects and some of these side effects can be very dangerous.
If you want to lose a couple of pounds for the holidays the best way to do this is to change your eating habits and increase your exercise.
If you are the type of person that is needing a step by step plan to do this you can find the best resources for weight loss at this site that I have found…Check this out at http://zapthefat.blogspot.com/
Good luck and stay healthy!!

Be careful with diet pills–I’ve had some bad experiences trying some of them. What I did find to work really well though was a natural supplement of Acai berry which I actually saw on Oprah and Rachel Ray. It was a while ago, but I ordered a free sample from http://ultraacaiberry.com/y/ and it’s been great for helping increase my energy, metabolism, and keeping my body healthy! I’ve lost weight and I feel much, much better than I did when I was on the pills.

I have been through it all and know what’s it about. The main thing is to stick in there. You can’t be an addict to food and never exercise if you want to live a healthy life and keep the weight off. I’ve worked out, done every diet, and all types of classes.
Nothing works, besides dedication and intelligence towards the subject of losing weight.
First, depending on how much weight you need to lose, your diet is the first concern. You can’t eat 10,000 calories a day and expect the weight to come off, even if you are exercising a lot. Which brings us to the next thing. Duh, Exercising…
This is a must especially if you need to a lot of weight. Get at least 30 mins of some good hardcore exercising. Do some cardio, in the long run, it’s good for the heart.
However, I find the most hardest part of losing weight/keeping it off, in my diet. It’s so hard to keep your fingers out of the cookie jar or those chocolate goodies. I’ve found a great addition to help any one out, it’s a natural weight loss supplement called Proactol. Now don’t get all crazy on me and say diet pills don’t work. That is true, but not in this case. This one isn’t meant to burn pounds while you sit on the couch. It’s an appetite suppressant, along with being a fat binder. I saved money on the pills at theweightlossplace.com along with getting some good info. It basically makes those fingers not go towards the cookie jar. For me it’s the best pill I’ve tried and I’ve tried cupboards full. Now this doesn’t mean you have to follow my foot steps but I’ve successfully lost roughly 70 pounds and keeping it off til this day.
Well good luck and remember what I said, Dedicate.

When drug companies who produced diet pills realized that ephedrine was going to be removed from the market, those companies realized that they must find another natural supplement that could be used for weight loss. One of the ideas these companies came up with was to promote weight loss by reducing cortisol levels and balancing blood sugar.
Cortisol is one of the hormones that is released by the adrenal glands in excess when you’re chronically stressed, which many of us are these days. Like other hormones, cortisol is essential to good health but damaging when it’s too high or too low. Chronically high cortisol increases appetite, especially for sugar and carbohydrates; creates weight gain around the middle; contributes to short term memory loss; depletes bone and suppresses the immune system. Extended periods of high cortisol also increase your risk for breast cancer. If your cortisol is elevated for years on end, eventually you’ll end up with tired adrenals, never-ending fatigue and unstable blood sugar that may lead to diabetes.
Previously I have joint a weight loss program and I manage to achieve an average weight loss of 7 lbs in every 10 days. Although the weight loss seems not substantial but the thing is that I’m able to sustain my ideal weight since 5 years ago when I joint the program.
