Are diet pills safe?

[Daniela]

A lot of women are taking comfort in diet pills, hoping that they will shred out a lot of fats. This can be considered as the easiest and fastest way for slimming down than going through the extraneous efforts of dieting and time consuming exercise. The question now lies, however, if these diet pills are really safe to take or not.

[Hopeful]

I think there is nothing wrong if one will take diet pills for his own good. This is so as long as there is a DOCTOR’S PRESCRIPTION or you have consulted your doctor before taking the diet pills. This is to check on the legitimacy of the diet pills (since there are some that are bogus) as well as the capability of your body to take the pills.

I totally agree with Hopeful. There should be a guidance of a doctor when taking these kinds of diet pills. We never know that such pills will have an adverse effect in your body.

This is not a good idea. This will teach people in taking the easy route. Go out, do exercise or hit the gym, control your food intake, eat vegetables…It is only a matter of discipline and dedication to do it the natural way than taking the easy step of drinking diet pills.

Other concern on diet pills is that there are tendencies for it to be used abusively. Taking diet pills are habit forming, and if not prevented earlier, this might lead to dependence of the tablet.

I used to take diet pills before because I really felt that I was so obese then. But I stopped taking diet pills when I felt, at that time, that I was very weak. This is because the pills blocked by appetite for food intake; hence, I have fewer calories. This, in return, leads to the slow down of metabolism, which, in effect, will also slow down the shredding out of weight for a slimmer you.

Diet pills should be well regulated. There might be who got so addicted to it because he/she was not able to control his/her intake of diet pills. Another adverse effect of this – they are teaching people, especially young women, that beauty comes within the body size. Although it is healthy to be physically fit, yet, still it is not good to base beauty on the kind of weight one has.

On the other hand, I feel glad on the existence of diet pills. This is the fastest and easiest way of losing fats. Of course, with doctor’s consultation already before taking it.

[Mesmerize]

People should not be deceived on the propaganda and cheap prices of diet pills. There are some diet pills that are fake and do not work really on the purpose of dieting.

Still, the best way of losing weight is regular exercise and proper diet….eat veggies and with those that are rich in fiber.
