Are Diet Pills Right For You?
Many Times Weight is Regained
Weight loss with Diet Pills
Diet Pills: On average, most people typically lose approximately 5-10 percent of their current body weight while taking appetite suppressants. So, if you weight 200 pounds, you will lose about 10-20 pounds but keep in mind along with appetite suppressants you need to eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly. Research shows that after six months, weight loss levels top off and appetite suppressants lose their effectiveness. Many times weight is regained after stopping the use of diet pills as they are only a short term solution. If you have changed your eating and exercising habits you have a far better chance of keeping the weight off and maintaining your new weight.
To get to the point, if your health is at risk due to being obese, talking to your doctor about taking a prescription appetite suppressant is worth considering. We cannot say it enough, don’t fall into the hype and claims that taking a diet pill will help you to lose weight miraculously and quickly with little effort.Diet pills are a short term solution and they can be effective in helping you to lose weight but it will be hard work. If you don’t, you will quickly gain back the weight you worked so hard to lose when the pill stops working over time.
Types of Diet Pills
Diet pills and supplements come in many different forms: prescription diet pills, over-the-counter- diet pills and natural herbal supplements. Prescription Diet Pills – Pills such as Meridia and Phentermine are available by prescription from your doctor only. And they are regulated by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). Over-the-Counter Diet Pills – Are available without a doctor’s prescription at your local supermarket or drugstore. Most over-the-counter diet pills are also regulated by the FDA and it should say so right on the label. In 2000, the FDA made it mandatory for drug manufacturers to reformulate PPA containing products after studies were showing evidence that phenylopropanolmine has the potential to increase the risk of stroke and therefore there are very few diet pills on the market with PPA.
Herbal Diet Supplements – Are also available over the counter with out a prescription. You can typically find a large variety of herbal pills in health food and nutrition stores as well as regular drugstores. No matter the diet pill you chose to use you should first consult your doctor prior to starting your new diet. For your own health and safety you should be aware of the benefits along with the potential risks associated with the diet pill of your choice.
