   18 cheapest place is the net or from a pharmacy. How ever you should go and see your doctor before you start taking them. They don’t have to be proscribed but you will have to go for a consultation.

   Beware – a lot of the so called weight loss pills just don’t work.
   They cost a lot of money and you don’t get your money back.
   Most of them state they will assist weight loss as part of a diet and exercise programme.
   You can lose weight and tone up without them. It will be so much healthier and long lasting.
   If you REALLY need pills then Alli is one that will help rid fat and Hoodia takes the edge off your appetite.
   It is a lot cheaper to adjust your diet and exercise though.

   There is a vast assortment of diet pills on the market. Many of the diet aids are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration, some are not. It seems that most are used improperly or used when they shouldn’t be, and consumers are not taking the time to educate themselves about diet pills and their alternatives (such as healthy eating and regular exercise).

   There are three major types of diet pills available:

   1. Prescription diet pills – These diet aids are only available with a prescription for a physician, and that physician usually closely monitors their use. The FDA closely regulates these aids.

   2. Over-the-counter diet pills – A prescription is not needed to purchase these, and they are widely available at drug stores, supermarkets, and discount stores. They are also monitored by the FDA.

   3. Herbal diet pills – Often labeled “all natural”, the FDA considers these types of diet pills a food, rather than a drug. Therefore, there regulation is different and seemingly more lax that prescription diet pills.

   Prescription diet pills are intended to be used by those individuals that are more than 30% overweight. They are also intended to be used in the short-term, or less than six months, in addition to healthy eating and regular exercise.

   When used properly, prescription diet pills can help a person lose up to 10% of his or her body weight. It is not recommended that any diet pill be used by children under 16.

   It is important to be aware of the potential side effects that using any diet pill can cause. Different diet pills have different side effects, depending on their ingredients, and the functions they perform. For example:

   * Some fat-blocking diet pills can cause painful gas and diarrhea

   * Some appetite suppressants contain stimulants (such as caffeine or ephedrine), which elevate the heart rate and blood pressure. This can increase the risk for heart attack or heart disease in the user.

   * Herbal remedies, though touted as “all natural”, can have various side effects (depending on the ingredients) similar to synthetic diet 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.
