there are diet pills that work and there some that doesnt and just give you side effects

i have tried alot... there are some diet pills that even give me rushes while there are some that dries up my skin but there are some that really work very well

... so i think all you have to do is know the content of the product and know the side effects before taking them...

i have tried herbalife ( too expensive )
i have tried goodliness ( chinese and gave me rushed )
i am now taking ballerina

Do not take any diet pills if you have a medical condition. That is no joke. As a doctor, I would suggest you to have your ECG taken before you try any. Most contain amphetamines which are appetite suppresants however, they do cause palpitations, tremors & sometimes, cardiac arrest. Like Bangkok pills for example. These are amphetamines ( the pills you take at daytime) together with Vitamin C ( which can acidify the urine & lessen the amphetamine levels in the body). I have tried them myself & they do work as weight reducer. I dropped 2 lbs/day. The problem was I experienced flushing of the face, palpitations, insomnia, nausea & dryness of the throat. Its not worth it. Think before you try these diet pills. That is my advice

Hello there! As someone who has tried almost anything in the world of beauty & fitness, I will tell you about bangkok pills. Do you know that there are 3 kinds of bangkok pills? Guess you dont. The lightest colors is supposed to be aimed for those who want to lose 5 lbs or less. The next would be for less than 20lbs & the darkest ones (with chocolate colored pills) for those 40lbs overweight. I started with the lightest colored ones. Nothing happened, I guess as far as weight loss was concerned though I did experience dryness of my throat &some palpitations. I lost like 2lbs for a month which is in my opinion, no good value for your money as these cost about 70 US dollars, right? So, I went to the extreme & bought the very dark ones. True enough, you lose lbs in a day but the symptoms you feel are just not worth it. I feel like I was hanging on for dear life. I joined my aerobics class & couldnt breathe after less than 10 minutes of warm ups. I never finished my pills & just consumed 5 days worth. So, if you are SERIOUSLY considering bangkok pills, think again.

I think that by following a good diet program, anyone can loose weight in a healthy and natural style. There are services like FitDay or LifeStyleScanner.com and others .... who can really guide you to really customize your plan and turn into the right direction.
Pills have always side effects no matter what other people say. Just my 2 cents ...

I've tried diet pills , I got them from a clinic where I live. They were expensive & did work . I had rapid weightloss. BUT I put 5 stone back on the next year with out even over eating !!! I went to my doctor with the tablets & he went mad ....said i have really put some strain on my heart & body.

he has now given me reductil tablets......and they are working fab. The weight is coming off slow , but its given the chance to change the way i veiw food & eat more healthy. they make me feel food is not the only thing in the world !

I've now started to be more active, without even trying, simply because I have more energy.....gone are the days i come home from work & lay on the sofa eating all night !

my doctor monitors my progress & i go and see him every 2 weeks. he checks my blood pressure and stuff ....too make sure im doing fine

hope this information helps you
and good luck

Xenical & Reductil are expensive & weight loss is very slow. However, I think they are the safest. The problem I had with them most especially with Xenical is that when you fart, some oily discharges go out of your & they smell like the SMELLIEST of all ! Its just GROSS.Period.

I still consider that you should avoid the pills and control your weight using a normal healthy diet.

I Depends on which ones you take. Anything with Phen I would avoid.
