What diet pills actually work?

Question by Shelby Collum: What diet pills actually work? I want to drop about 25-30lbs this summer, along with good eating and working out which diet pills work from expirence? Ive been searching some phen375 or something but i hear its a scam or blah blah. I dont mind having to order them or if there a bit expensive if they are worth it. Please give me some input on good diet pills and if possible before and after pics as well as what was your calorie intake. Anything would be helpfull before i waste money on something that wont work. Btw my goal weight is 110lbs and im 5'5 just so you get an idea of my size. Thanks so much! *please no ridiculous or negative comments im aware i cant just take a diet pill and be skinny lol

Alli is the only FDA-approved over-the-counter diet pill. Approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) means that clinical studies have proven a drug to be more helpful than harmful for specific diseases and conditions. But FDA approval does not guarantee that a drug is absolutely safe and universally effective. Alli is a fat blocker. The active ingredient in Alli is Orlistat. Orlistat inhibits the enzyme Lipase, an enzyme found in the digestive tract to help break down dietary fat. Side effects are Diarrhea, loose stools. Most of the "diet pills " that you see advertised on TV contain ephedrine. Ephedrine is an alkaloid that boosts the functioning of the hormone norepinephrine in the human body and imitates the natural effects of adrenaline. Side effects are Nervousness which causes, increased heart rate and hypertension. In some critical situations it may result in stroke and coma. • Other side effects of using ephedrine include dizziness, vertigo, hallucinations and light-headedness. In my own experience-- I have seen people get hooked on these pills. Years ago I worked for Nutriystem . Honestly, my clients had great success without adding diet pills . Weight loss is achieved by 2 things --reducing your intake of fat calories and increasing your activity level. Basic and simple. Keep Hydrated too but avoid soda's . Soda ( even diet) can pack on those pounds. A safe and realistic weight loss is 1-2 pounds a week. Realistically you can lose about 16 -20 pounds over the summer. If you are a teen, please check with your doctor first before starting any diet plan and don't go below 1500 calories. Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig both work on the same principal. Good Luck
