Can I take diet pills at my age?

[remsterz]

okay so I'm 17 and I know you have to be at least 18 years old to take diet pills. But I have tried EVERYTHING! I am on a diet and I am regularly exercising, and don't get me wrong I am losing weight, but I want to lose a lot more in a faster pace, so I'm considering taking diet pills.my mom says "there's nothing wrong with my body, you're at a good size for your age, and you're healthy" but I still don't like my body like I want to. so should I try out diet pills?

A lot of diet pills also contain hormones which is one of the reasons why they don't sell diet pills to people under 18. As you are developing (even if you're done with puberty for the most part) your body will go through major chemical changes naturally, add in all sorts of extra crap and you could really harm yourself.

My best friend is a personal trainer who specializes in weight loss and maintenance. She always suggests to her clients that they should be exercising regularly (as you are), eating smaller portions more frequently throughout the day (many adequate snacks as opposed to three large meals) and keeping hydrated without drinking too much water. The last one is very important because your body stores water and it can slow down your metabolism if you consume too much. Between one and 2 litres a day will keep you hydrated. If you go lower you won't feel good, if you go higher there is a change you will put on "water weight" which essentially slows down what you're trying to accomplish.

Just keep your regimen and let your body do its work. You will get to your goal weight in a more healthy way than adding all sorts of chemicals, hormones and unhealthy additives to your body (even when it says all natural).

Good luck sweetie!

If you really want to lose weight, do a Master Cleanse diet. My friend lost like 40 pounds doing it. He went down from 340 to 205 in total. Look it up.

You're not too young to learn patience...be happy with slow and steady weight loss. You know, the tortoise and the hare..that fable applies here.

If you're losing weight and your metabolism is holding up, don't worry about them at this point.

Congratulations on your success.

Congratulations on your success so far! I wouldn't recommend diet pills ever.. They can be dangerous a lot of times, and just not healthy in general. I'd just keep doing what you are! Over the long run, that'll yield healthier results by far.

Eh you'll be alright, if anything just try taking a natural detox to clean out your system.

If you are losing weight, just keep doing what your doing. Forget diet pills.
