Your experience with diet pills?

[Anonymous]

After my thesis ends, I want to go start jogging again to lose weight. I do not plan to depend on solely diet pills (also jogging and diet restrictions), but I'm considering as using them as an extra tool. Do you have any good or bad experiences with diet pills? What kind of pills would or wouldn't you recommend? Do you know good ones that don't give you diarrhea (this will make it difficult to combine the pills with jogging... and life...)? Weight loss recommendations unrelated to diet pills are also welcome.

I've run an EC stack on top of a ketosis diet. Not sure how much I noticed metabolic impact, but definitely suppresses appetite.

I'm aware Bromocriptine can be very useful in some scenarios.

Diet pills are a category of things, most of them BS. If you want to know 'is there a good pill to lose weight' the answer is no. Period. No, there is not. For a pill to on its own make you lose weight it pretty much needs to jack your metabolism up, and that's going to either not happen, or happen and be dangerous.

If you're looking to offset an above average metabolic slowdown when you diet... you might find more.

Don't take anything with multiple ingredients. They're all a waste of money. They find 9 things that might do something, combine them in a proprietary ratio and charge 10 times as much. Meanwhile they dial the dosage down to a point that side effects are unlikely.

weight loss is going to be primarily based on what you eat. Are you solid on your eating plan?

For now as your supplements stack, I humbly suggest a cup of coffee, three times a day. And I'm not even joking.

I've been considering vitamin B-supplements (because there harmless and increase metabolism and energy) and maybe L-carnitine (because there's actual scientific proof). I've made long hours with my thesis, which made me sit in front of my laptop for months with tons of junk food (for some reason, it helps me concentrate). Finally being able to increase my excercise and not having to rely on junkfood will make it easier to lose weight. Making an actual diet plan (besides not eating junkfood or snacks) will be difficult because I still live with my parents (who'll ridicule me daily for being on a diet). I really dislike black coffee so that won't be an option. Besides, don't the effects of caffeine decline as you get used to it?

Go ahead and take the B supplements. Doubt you notice much, but you might. The stimulant affects of caffeine decline with use, but the appetite suppression doesn't seem to as much. Honestly caffeine is about as potent as most of what they'll sell you in a store called a diet pill.

But from what you have described... you don't need to worry about supplements. There's more use for them, as I suggested, with people whose bodies react particularly badly to dieting.

You can eat snacks. Just the right ones. You should not be hungry, if you're feeling hungry all the time, you're eating the wrong foods.

I dont take diet pills they are scams and will cause more bodily harm than people realize. I just workout daily

I've tried Alli and Hydroxycut, they're both terrible. Alli makes you have diarrhea so bad that you have to wear a pad in case you sneeze. You can't eat any fat at all (which is bad) on that pill unless you wanna shart grease 24/7. And Hydroxycut... I followed all directions exactly and even ended up cutting back on the dosage but it gave me such bad stomach pain that got sent to the hospital from work. It wasn't even nausea, just horrible pain.

I don't take diet pills anymore.

diet pills are worse for your body than most medications. I don't understand why people still use them because its scam.

@ZenithDawn yeah, I found that out the hard way.
