 If I were to be taking diet pills, I could still be eating unhealthy foods and have a unhealthy diet. Now, if I had a healthy diet, that cancels out all of the unhealthy food completely.

 The old fashioned way has worked for so long and although it takes longer, the benefits are lifelong... You'll feel energetic and it will boost your self confidence as opposed to taking pills and risking possible side-effects...


But the choice is yours

 I have to say no to the diet pills they are bad for you and don't work that great unless you get them from the dr. They work but exercise is always better for you and eat right you will feel better about yourself and keep the wt. Off once you loss it.

 I say a healthy diet because the pills aren't guaranteed, but if you are eating REAL food, then you will loose REAL weight!!!

 Diet pills, crank, what's the difference? Change your diet, activities, and sleep patterns for a healthy lifestyle. Speed kills.

 A)Eat healthy & exercise regularly and not only will you feel better for it, but you'll lose that extra weight you want to lose.


B)Take diet pills, assume they will help you lose weight. Carry on eating unhealthy when you have that less frequent appetite and exercise less. Feel worse, but lose weight.


That's how I see it, and I know people from both scenarios. All in all, diet pills seem to be a lazy way out. No offence to anyone on them. I can understand where they have their place, but I still think they can be avoided just by having a healthy lifestyle. Will power folks.

 I agree that a pill it not always a cure for all. Look at all the recalls because of all the side affects they find a few years later down the line.

 Healthy diet ,good food is the way to go . If you ate to get big then you should be able to eat to get thin again. You just have to find the foods that you body will handle better.

 The old fashioned way, diet and exercise is the best way to go. Diet pills are quick and easy but the side effects can be dangerous...remember phen phen? In order to lose weight you really have to do two things: Decrease intake and increase activity. I didn't say it's easy. I just think watching what you eat on your own will help you develop healthy habits that should last a lifetime.

 My parents have tried both. They tried pills because they don't have time plan out a healthy meal and prepare the meals. The pills worked sometimes. It was like every other batch of pills would work. Lately my mother had swiched to Jenny Craig where the healthy meals are prepared for you and it's working out so much better and she seems very happy with her results.

 A healthy diet is always better than taking pills cuz the bad side effects produced by these pills is more than the good effects.A healthy diet ensures a healthy lifestyle and makes you fit for the longer run.

 HEALTHY LIFESTYLE
think about it:
If you have a health lifestyle you'll lose weight, be in shape, and have better health.
Diet pills: Losing weight ONLY until you stop taking them, doesn't really do much for you health permanently

 Healthy, 100%! THose pills may work in the beginning but after you've stopped taking htem and keep your old lifestyle, you will end up starting over! You need to change your diet and exercise plan, and consult your doctor instead of the "easy way out"

 It looks as if everybody who responded is of a single mind. The only thing diet pills do is make other people rich. I believe that if they actually worked and were safe, family doctors would be telling patients to use them.

Not only do diet pills not work, people who use them don't learn to modify their eating habits. That goes for the diet shakes and plans like Jenny Craig and Nutri-system. If you ever see TV commercials for that stuff, you have to read the small print on the screen. "Results not typical" and "To be used in conjunction with a sensible diet and exercise". If you follow a sensible diet and exercise regularly, why would you need to waste money on the pills or those diet plans?

Learning to eat sensibly can help dieters avoid the yo-yo syndrome that can be so harmful. Padraiq is right. All things in moderation.

 Although the diet pill seems like the easy ticket, it actually has is downsides and almost never works in most circumstances. I found that dieting the old fashion way not always keeps you in shape but benefits your whole body in numerous ways such as increase your stanima, muscle mass, healthy body, good circulatory system, and an overall healthy prolonged life.

 I agree with Stephen society has just gotten lazy and popping a pill only takes a second rather then taken a 20 minute walk and watching what you eat. Shame on how lazy sociey has gotten.

 I have tried alot of different types of crazy diets to diet pills. It is just a short cut, and a hudge money making industry, also most of the diet pills just contain alot of caffaine which will cause you to get the feeling of being nervous, to me it did. I did it by smaller portions and drinking alot of water. I know it might want to make you give up at times, but dont, you will see the results. Also dont compare youreself with someone else. Everyone looses weight at a different rate of speed. I also didnt think of myself on a DIET, but eating more healthy. Also the more active you are, it will also boost the loss.
Good luck

 Even if diet pills really worked , and most don't, it would not be a good idea. Losing weight can be done in a number of ways but the problem is that once the diet is over people resume their old ways of eating and soon balloon back to their top weight or even higher, The only thing that works in the long run is developing healthy eating habits and engaging in regular exercise.
