Talk to a holistic doctor. It's not diet pills, but they'll give you things to keep your body running in a cleansing and healthy manner on a daily basis.

Yes, Meridia works. It works on your brain chemistry, so no jitters. It is a prescription drug, and it wasn't covered by my insurance ($120 for a months supply). I really liked it - totally took away hunger, helped so much with good food choices and portion control. But I am off of it now due to cost. I have been off of it for a month and haven't regained what I lost.

Hi im new to the site, just wanted to say hi, i do agree though with the overall opinion that seems to be diet and excersise is the best way to go. I however know from my struggle that you most defineately need some willpower thrown in and also need some energy to give to yourself sometimes.

My friend has tried proactol and she has got on really well with it and lost weight, I am really keen to try it. She says they have some really good offers on a the minute.

I dont know of any that work...well I was using this one called Lipo6 or LipoX I cant remember....and it worked pretty good but it made my heart race soooooooooo bad! And I would practically get anxiety attacks on it. It was freaky.

The only one that worked for me was Ephedra and that has been banned. That helped me with energy and appetite. I lost 65 lbs but also toned and firmed, I have never found anything like it since then. It was through Advocare. I loved it and wished they would bring it back.

While I personally do not believe in "diet pills", I do believe in taking a good vitamin on a daily basis.

The long-term successful outcome is through diet, exercise and a lifestyle change (I've lost 137 pounds doing that.)

While I personally do not believe in "diet pills" or gastric bypass as an "answer", there are times when it is the only option for a morbidly obese patient in trying to save their life. My reasoning lies in the fact that if those patients do not address a lifestyle change, they are doomed to "undo" the effects of the medication or the surgery.

That said, I am no physician and cannot speak for the professional community. Dr. Orrange, here on DS, wrote an article entitled "I Want to Lose Weight - Where Do I Start" which can be found at http://dailystrength.org/blog/31-i-want-lose-weight. In that article she mentions Meridia and Orlistat as the two medications that physicians are currently using with some success. Please look to her article to inform yourselves further as she has some other thoughts that should be considered before considering this option.

I agree with Linda F on how after you've eaten healthy for awhile, you begin to crave the good stuff your eating rather than junk.
I'm on day 11 of a 21 day Daniel Fast, for too many reasons to explain, I can't believe how easy it's been. For now I've eliminated: meat, dairy, bread, most grains, and sugar. And I'm eating mostly fruit, veggies, nuts & seeds and that is what I'm craving. All I want for dinner tonight is a delicious spicy stir fry, rather than the 4 or 5 slices of pizza & then dessert on top of that, which is what I usually have on a Friday night. I am now determined to eat healthy even after the fast.

all diet pills works. what people don't realize is you gotta put the work in it too. Many take it and think they'll lose. exercise and diet still have to be done as most say and they provide bit help to start.

I hear lipo6x is amazing
