Are Diet Pills A Safe Way For You To Lose Weight
- By:Andreas Francis
I have been overweight for a lot of years. I have tried to take off the weight with diet and exercise but it seems my willpower is not very strong. I always seem to slip at the worst possible moment.
I have considered taking diet pills but I have always worried about whether diet pills are safe or not. After all I do not want to risk my health if diet pills are really not safe.
I set out on a search of the Internet to see what I could find out about the safety of diet pills. One newsgroup I went to have a reader who said she was suffering from an overweight condition and wanted to know if taking diet pills was safe.
There were several interesting answers to her question One person replied that they had tried a lot of different diet pills and some worked and some did not but most had side effects such as dried skin.
Another answered if you have any sort of medical condition you should see a doctor before taking any diet pills. I would think common sense would lead you to visit your doctor before starting something so drastic. This same reader stated that some diet pills contain amphetamines, which are appetite suppressants. He stated this could cause a lot of problems including cardiac arrest.
The next site I visited had a reader ask about the ingredients in the different diet pills and whether they were safe to take.
One answer the reader got said diet pills might contain natural ingredients, caffeine or other stimulants. Another answer stated diet and exercise are the way to go and diet pills not are worth risking your life. That is a strong opinion but it really makes me think about it all.
Next I went looking for sensible weight loss answers. Advice was everywhere. Here are some of the more reasonable suggestions for losing weight.
Don’t try to lose more than a couple of pounds a week. Losing more will put your body into a mode that does not burn calories as fast.
Another website suggested the best way to lose weight was to indulge in cardio exercise preferably first thing in the morning.
Lifting weights was suggested as a good way to lose the pounds. As your body gains muscle it will burn calories more efficiently.
Most all of the sites I visited on the Internet had the same general feel. It seems that most people really do not think it is not a good idea to take diet pills. You find the same warnings and chitchat all around the web. It seems most people consider the good old-fashioned methods of losing weight the better way to go.About the author:
