   Quick answer: They don’t. Stop taking them.

   Longer answer: Diet pills "work" by forcing your metabolism to work harder. This means that they can cause hypertension and heart attacks, as well as strokes. This applies only to the diet pills that have any effect whatsoever. The vast, vast majority of them do absolutely nothing and have so little active ingredients in them that you might as well be taking an aspirin.

   Diet and weight loss is NOT easy. There is no fast and simple way to do it. You have to eat healthy (between 1800 and 2000 calories a day–no less than 1500!) of lean meats, plenty of fresh fruit and veggies, whole grains, and healthy fats like olive oil, nuts, and avocado. You have to exercise daily, alternating cardio (like running, jogging, and playing active sports) with weight training (crunches, lifting weights, squats, pull-ups, etc.). Ideal weight loss is 1-2 pounds per week. More than that, and you’re risking damage to your body. It should be gradual and ongoing, which means that once you lose the weight, you can’t just go back to sitting around and living off of cake. You have to eat healthy and exercise for the rest of your life if you want to maintain a healthy weight.

   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.
