Looking for a Diet Pill

I am looking for a diet pill (OTC) that is affective and has little to no side effects. When I say side effects, I mean, nausea, gas, jitters, etc... I am looking to loose a significant amount of weight. I'm going to diet/exercise, but I need a little extra help. I have tried to loose weight without pills, but to no avail. That is why I need the extra help. I really am not asking if anyone thinks a diet pill is a good idea. I am asking if anyone has tried one that does not cause side effects.
Thanks for all the advice. I have found what I am looking for, really!

What can I do next?

I know you don't want to hear it but pills are not the answer. Please believe me when I tell you that they will only make it worse in the long run. I am a personal trainer and I have known many people that have tried the pills and dieting. It may work for awhile but in the long run you will gain the weight back and then some. I know you said you are dieting and exercising, I'd like to give you some tips. First mistake most people make is that they only do cardio exercise. BIG MISTAKE...cardio only burns calories while you are working out and for a short while after. EVERYONE needs resistance/weight training especially women. It will boost your metabolism so that you are burning more calories all day long everyday. Second, dieting does NOT work. You only make it harder to lose weight when you diet. YES, you do need to watch the calories that you are putting into your body but if you don't get enough to eat you are only making it harder to lose weight. Eat often and eat small snacks/meals. Don't deprive yourself of your favorite foods just eat them in smaller portions. Eat a fruit or vegetable at every meal/snack, it will help fill you up and keep you full longer. If you need more help you can email me at ____@____.com a great workout that includes your child check out www.babybootcamp.com. They have classes all over the Philly area and all over the U.S. for that matter. Good luck.

My husband is using a medicine called Hydroxycut, as well as working out at a gym. It helps speed up his metabolism and curves his appatite. It is working well and as long as you take a daily vitamin as well it has very little side effects.

Diet pills are not the answer!! They may work at first, but the only real way to lose weight and keep it off is to change the way you eat. I know you may not want to hear that, but it's true.
Just a few little changes will make a difference. Stop drinking soda, switch to light bread, use light butter or margarine, cut out as much sugar as you can (Splenda is great), and instead of 3 big meals, eat 5 or six small meals throughout the day. And eat breakfast!! You need it to get your metabolism going. Try to increase your activity a liitle more each day- park further from the store, take the stairs, squat instead of bend, go out and play with your girls! Don't forget to drink plenty of water- 8 glasses a day!
I hope this helps. I have lost 47 lbs. on L.A. Weightloss (expensive!)and this is pretty much how it works Good Luck!

You should really look into weight watchers...you don't have to go to them either you can join on'line. i lost 40 lbs with them!!

Hello S.,
I believe in Hoodia and Alli. Minimal side effects. Personally I liked Hoodia better, but Alli works well, too. Especially with your diet and working out.
Good luck,

I highly suggest using Arbonne International's weight loss program. It's very healthy and works great. I have before and after pictures of clients available if you'd like ot see them.
I've used the shakes and the chews with great success.

S.,
It sounds like we're in the same boat! If you hear of anything, let me know........I've tried Hoodia, Xendadrine, and another one I can't think of and they do nothing, but seem to make me hungrier.

Weight Watchers worked for me a couple of years ago, but I just don't have the time to do that again. And quite frankly, I'm embarrassed to go back heavier than I started.

Please let me know of you have any suggestions that work. Thanks!
T.
