The pills work that is true, but they don't work for ever, in fact they really work for just a couple of months (six at the most) then you start to lose the effect of it, and another truth is that after they stop working and/or you stop taking them your metabolism will be slower than before, generally the same amount of time that you took the pills (p.e. 4 months of pills = 4 months of a slower metabolism) which means that you will be more likely to regain the pounds you lost. What I'm trying to let you know is that if you are an emotional eater, if you crave sweets and fatty food, if you usually go to fast food restaurants, if you are a sedentary person (and jogging on the weekends is not enough to make you lose weight, if it where you would not need to take the pills on the first place cause jogging will be enough right?), I mean all of the life habits that made you gain weight on the first place will still be there once the diet pill stops working. Imagine it like this, if you have a very nervous boy that bites his finger nails, and that is the boy's way of stress release: biting his nails. And you tied the boy's hands so that he can not bite his nails, and you keep him like that until his fingers heal from his own bites, but you don't find out the source of the boy's stress and don't teach the boy any alternative to release his stress, when you untied his hands what do you think will happen? He'll start to bite his nails again, and he'll have more stress accumulated from the period of time that he couldn't bite them.
I hope I made my point because the least that I wanted was to give you the impression that diet pills where good or a magical solution because they definitely are not. |

Hi! I am new here too, I don't know that specific pill, but I have used pills to lose weight in the past several times, and this is what I can tell you: you will lose lots of pound fast, you will look and feel great because you'll never get hungry, you may even force your self to eat... sounds great right? not really then what happens is you start to feel more hungry even taking the pills, and you notice you're putting on some pounds back, the thing is that your body will adjust to the medication and if did not take some other steps like working out, and if you haven't change your eating habits you'll be back where you started in a hearth beat, even gets worst you will gain even more weight because your metabolism will get slower from the pills. So from experience I do not recommend diet pills of any kind ( I have tried more than 7 different ones, because I was lazy and I took the easy way and with every single one I had the same result... thin then fatter). I really hope this long story can be helpful for you somehow and good luck achieving your weight loss goal. :) |
