What diet pills would you recommend?

[Anonymous]

I really want to lose weight and have exhausted every method imaginable in order to do so. I only managed to lose 10 pounds in 4 months and I'm honestly so tired of even trying. I'm 5'2" and weigh about 100 pounds and I just want to appear leaner and slimmer because I'm going to be spending a lot of time on the beach wearing a swimsuit and don't want to have cellulite or excess jiggles anywhere on my body. People all around me are losing weight as if it's the easiest thing in the world and I just really want to slim down a little. I feel so insecure because before puberty I was super tiny and now I'm just considered average (which doesn't feel healthy for me). I just feel so bad about myself and want diet pills that won't harm my body and will actually work. Thanks so much in advance for your help/guidance. Love you all! :)

pills dontr wok and are not safe. you can't take them forever and anyhow they stress your heart and liver.

just exercise 3 hors a day and eat 500 calories a day less than you have been.

10 pounds in 4 months is a good rate bc its gradual and went stress your organs or your skin.

in 4 more months you'd be 90 and i doubt you want to go below that.

anyhow of you losing weight on what you're already eating keep it up and exercise 3 hours.

do you know how many calories you take in now? that'd be helpful info.

I actually want to lose about 10 more pounds. The frustrating thing is that I'm always a few pounds away from my target goal but have never been able to achieve it because that's when my body decides to stabilize and stop losing weight. I don't exactly count calories but I think I'm consuming around 1300 calories/per day (which I think is considered normal). I just read that if I want to lose more based on my height and weight that I should only be consuming 940 calories. Would you say that sounds accurate? :)

You don't need a diet. Maybe try lifting weights to tone up. And you can't get rid of cellulite by getting smaller. It's just a fact of being a woman. I'm sure you have next to none of it though.

I'm also sure most people would think you're already small and super skinny is really not all that attractive anyway. Just my 2 cents.

[WeaponZero]

Before puberty you were super tiny because you did not develop. Comparing your body now to thew at it was before puberty honestly is a warning sign and you should seek help.

Your weight right now is just fine. If you want to appear slimmer or more toned it needs to come from adding muscle, not losing fat.

[akadatank44]

Noooo don't do diet pills. There is some supplements that may help but I wouldn't recommend any. I've heard CLA helps but not sure. @Fearless_banana may know more.
Weight loss is 80% diet.
You don't seem to be overweight by any means. Are you lifting at all?

[Asker]

I guess I'll eliminate a few other foods that may be causing my weight to stabilize rather than decrease. No I don't do lifting. Would you recommend lifting for weight loss? :)

[akadatank44]

What does your diet look like? No need to eliminate the foods you love.

[Asker]

I've always had a sweet tooth but I discovered over time that desserts are the biggest cause of weight gain for me. I stopped eating desserts entirely and now substitute them for fruits, healthy cereals, etc. I also don't ever have fast food and try to keep junk food to a minimum. I know it sounds like an excuse but my parents don't make good food choices and it's constantly in the house which makes it hard to stay on a good path. I talked to them about it and they still do it anyway lol :) It's all about willpower in my house because no one is supportive and my dad doesn't understand the need to lose weight (he thinks I'm perfectly fine as I am). It's all so frustrating :(

[akadatank44]

No doesn't sound like an excuse to me. Its important to have a support system. It sucks your parents don't help you out! I'd probably agree with your dad lol you seem like at a good weight and height ratio. Thats why I recommend lifting. That will help you become toned and fit. At your weight it may not be the number at the scale it can easily be just building muscle and make yourself leaner and slimmer. I don't know what to tell you about weight lifting. Cuz I've never been in that situation. I'm sure you can look online and find some better advice than I could give you.

[Shygal11489]

Diet pills are not a good way to do this. As soon as you stop taking them the weight will come back. Plus they are awful for your heart. Start lifting weights 3x week and stop eating processed foods and the weight will drop off. It's hard but worth it!

[Cmasterson]

None because when you get off of them you will go back to how you were. I would recommend a clean diet and some fitness, it's a lot easier than it sounds, drinking a lot of water really helps and you can even throw in coffee scrubs a couple times a week that will work on getting rid of your cellulite and scars if you have any.

[jacquesvol]

NO diet pills at all.
Either they contain a diuretic or some ephedrine-like or cafeine-like product.
Neither is good for your health, neither works well.
It's just a scam: your body looses water, which you can see on the scales. But when you drink , you get the water back. Thus you continue to take the stuff.

[Asker]

I guess I was hoping for something new to try because nothing I do is ever good enough. My weight loss is such a slow process and I feel like I'm doing everything "by the book." Why isn't anything working? if you have any suggestions I'd really appreciate your help :)

[jacquesvol]

My only suggestion is to spend more calories than you take in take in.
More veggies, more exercise, no junkfood, no sodas, no beer.
Swimming a numbers of hours/week is a 'soft' exercise for the skeleton: jogging or running may compress intervertebral disks, flatten them, and cause back pains in the long run.

[jacquesvol]

Sorry, typo...

[Asker]

Thank you :) I guess I can work out for longer periods of time from now on and see how that goes :)

[kambo_trick3y]

Why do I have a feeling this is one of those questions where the Asker looks perfectly fine, great even, but wants to lose weight for God knows what reason.

[Asker]

I just want to look and feel better about myself. Any tips would be greatly appreciated :)

[DandelionGirl]

DIET PILLS DONT WORK! Never ever ever ever use diet pills!! They kill your liver and they're pretty muc ineffective.

[ryanfyfe]

None, private message me (third year nutrition and dietetics bachelor student) and i'll happily discuss any diet tips or help you out how ever you'd like. Avoid diet pills.

[Asker]

Hey :) I tried messaging you but couldn't. I would like some advice since you know a lot about nutrition so just let me know how :) Thanks in advance

[ryanfyfe]

Instagram.. Chat function? send me a message?

[Asker]

I don't have Instagram & I tried messaging you and it said "This user allows messages from followings only!" lol :) I guess it wasn't meant to be ahaha :)

[ryanfyfe]

I'm new... By the time you read this I should have figured out how to change the setting and we'll sort it out! :)

[ryanfyfe]

Fixed, chat soon.

Diet pills increase your metabolism by ~7%. Exercising in a gym increases your metabolism by 1000% for a few hours.

I will never recommend diet pills.

[carinerose]

Pills do not work. You want to lose weight? Start to actually change your eating habits and go to the gym.

[Asker]

I've already done that. I replaced a lot of unhealthy options for fruits and vegetables, I don't eat junk food and I don't remember the last time I went out for fast food. I work out every single day and it's still not working for me. Clearly I need to change something but I have no idea what. Any recommendations? :)

[carinerose]

You're still eating more than you're burning calories. Simple. Doesn't matter if you eat fruits (which at some points aren't good) or fast food. You need to lessen your food intake and actually gain muscle mass. The more muscle you have the more you burn calories. Cardio isn't that great tbh.

[jacquesvol]

Some fruits are sugar bombs.

[Asker]

I'll decrease the calories I consume and work out a lot more then. It's a good opportunity for weight loss since I have three months off at the moment lol. I appreciate your help :)

[carinerose]

You're welcome. And have patience. You can't have your dream body in weeks. It takes months and years to build. Be consistent !

[helloitsmethere]

5'2" and a 100 pounds... hun, I'm about the same size as you and I'm declared underweight... :/

[helloitsmethere]

DO NOT use any diet pills. If you want to look leaner, then do some exercise. That way you can build muscle and look lean af.

[Asker]

I'm starting to see it was a stupid idea to consider taking diet pills. I already work out but I guess I need to intensify my workouts to see better results lol :) Thanks!

[Anonymous]

No do the diet wherre u can't rice, popcorn, potato's, noodles I lost like 30 ppunds in three weeks

[Asker]

I'll give it a try. Thanks :) I already eliminated so many things from my diet (which seems to help) but I wanna shed about 10 more pounds :) Thanks again for your advice :)

[Opinion Owner]

No problem

[Anonymous]

You sound skinny! No pills in any case, they will mess you up, diet and exercise is the only way.

[Anonymous]

The best advice would be to avoid those products like the plague.

[Asker]

What would you recommend then? :)

[Opinion Owner]

Nobody likes to hear it but diet and exercise is the best. There's no easy pill or magic technique that will drop the weight.

And honestly, 10 lbs in 4 months is pretty good. I don't know how much you are trying to lose but that's a good start.

[jacquesvol]

Swim two hours/week

[Asker]

Thank you both for answering my question :)

[Opinion Owner]

Swimming would be a good way and weight lifting is good which I'm sure you're doing. Heavier weights are Obviously better. Some women stick to lighter weights which is a mistake

[Asker]

What helps you lose weight? :)

[rgb008]

Eating clean and exercise.

[99percentangel]

Exercise is best.

[Asker]

I either work out for an hour or jog for 45 minutes every single day and it's still not paying off. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated :)

[Anonymous]

They don't work...

[93stepsawayfromhome]

None.
