Why don't obese people take diet pills and legal steroids?

[Ulyss]

If they're unhappy with themselves why not buy legal steroids and diet pills... they can't say It's bad for them or else that would be hypocritical because a double cheese burger with bacon is just as bad or probably even worse, I've been researching and found out that they sell these pills that have no bad side effects so I just thought why don't they use them? I think they go for about 160$ for both but what's stopping them why not be pretend fit and if they don't like it they can stop and go back to junk food? I wanna know your thoughts lol

Diet pills are marketed as "supplements" so the FDA doesn't regulate them. They can put anything they want into the pills and and say they do anything without repercussions. More often than not diet pills are ground up corn meal or some other useless conglomeration of materials. They don't even have to list the ingredients.

I honestly don't know about steroids but don't those make you gain weight? My allergist gives me some before testing and I'm ALWAYS hungry. Soooo it seems like thats the opposite of losing weight.

steroids mainly enhance the amount of muscle you can build and they can also enhance how long you can train without getting tired.. taking steroids =/= magically gaining muscle.. those people still need to work their ass off to gain the muscle

@dashyguydotcom So basically there's no point in encouraging people to take them like they're some magic cure?

[dashyguydotcom]

the point of steroids is, the "full" time you invest into reaching whatever goal you have shortens immensly since you have more capacity to train and grow than the "natural". Of course there are significant side-effects aswell, but those who take steroids accept that aswell.

@dashyguydotcom Gotcha. TY for explaining :)

Dude, as a fit guy... diet pills and steroids are TERRIBLE for your health.

If someone want to lose fat, the formula is simple:
Eat less
Drink more water
Exercise more
Get proper sleep

Supplements (especially steroids) should be avoided.

Probably to your liver but I think that illegal steroids are the ones that kill your kidneys and liver and some other stuff but I'm talking about the ones who are to lazy to work out and have no self control

[Ulyss]

And what's the difference they're going to end up having terrible health but as soon as they lose the weight they can just stop taking the pills

[Stefan1738]

No such thing as legal steroids unless you're talking about pro hormones which are now illegal too and worst for you than the real stuff. Steroids are bad not just for your liver, it will change you mentally and physically for life. Why do you think so many users when coming off have to get on TRT or have high blood pressure and bad cholesterol?

[dashyguydotcom]

I think supplemets are healthy if used as supplements. What i mean by that is, that many people use supplements like eg. the protein shake as a meal itself not something that should be used to fill those extra few grams of protein left in your diet.

[EarthToKepler]

Why would they take steriods and diet pills before even trying to diet and exercise first?

[Ulyss]

Most give up quickly and just don't have self control

Freedom of choice.

True but most are just dwelling and making people feel bad for them for overeating at McDonalds

I wouldn't blame them after eating a Mcdouble, but I see what you mean.
