Do diet pills really work?

Does the diet pill work effectively?

It's not hard to notice all these fabulous advertisements on TV commercial or magazines that claim how fast and effective their diet pills can help you lose weight. They often claim that their pills are natural and the result can be seen instantly. Some people argue that  the pills only show effect in a short term, in the long run it doesn't work at all. And once you are off pills, you gain weight a lot faster and easier. However, do they really work effectively as they claimed?


For those who believe it does work, they probably have heard their friends taking it and telling them how effective it works. They might first be attracted by advertisements or TV commercial  and try it for the first time. And after taking the diet pills they can feel the weight loss. They begin to see the result from the pills. Some advertisements claims that their pills are made from planets and are 100% natural.

For those who think it does not work at all, they believe some off the pills are simply suppressing your appetite and create the short term allusion of the weight loss. However, they might not know that it is the muscles they are losing not the fat inside their body. Therefore, when they are off the pills, they might gain their weight back easily. And often there will be side effects accompany with diet pills. 

 

Personally, I don't believe any diet pills at all. Sorry that if you are looking for a little magic pill that you can swallow once a day and then you can lose weight and eat whatever you want. It simply does not exist (Burn Flab, 2011). HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) diet products come from human placenta protein, which is unregulated and unapproved for use in diet pills, says the FDA. FDA says these so-called weight loss plans are dangerous and may not even work in the first place (Jio, 2011). I think that exercise is the simplest and cheapest way to help you lose weight.
