I grew up with a mother on Metabolife and pushing pills on me. Now i know better. A healthy diet and exercise will actually KEEP the weight off, too.

Most of the time it's water weight they get rid of, so as soon as you stop the pills it's all back. And I hate feeling jittery, and they almost always made me feel jittery or just make you have to poop :) Stick with a healthy workout and diet, it will do you way better in the end!

As others have said, they can have scary side effects and it's not a sustainable means of losing weight so what's the point? Be kind to yourself and set small goals so you don't get discouraged. Good luck! rachiecakes on "Would you/have you taken diet pills?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-youhave-you-taken-diet-pills#post-2096184 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 09:32:28 +0000 rachiecakes 2096184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @travellingbee: @travellingbee: that's terrible, so sorry :( I have before but they're short-term results. I wouldn't do it again. My best friend used them before her wedding, she had trained for 6 months prior and used them the week of to get rid of excess water weight and be at her trimmest, but she said she felt awful. mamimami on "Would you/have you taken diet pills?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-youhave-you-taken-diet-pills#post-2096183 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 09:32:28 +0000 mamimami 2096183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Great job on your weight loss! I have taken them but I don't think I would again. I took Phen-Fen in college (yes. it worked, kind of, but obviously not a good idea), and I tried those slim shot things once (did NOTHING). At one point I also took something that was natural and supposed to make you feel full. I don't remember what those were but they seemed to kind of work? Maybe? artsyfartsy on "Would you/have you taken diet pills?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-youhave-you-taken-diet-pills#post-2096180 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 09:26:48 +0000 artsyfartsy 2096180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Smurfette: Wow.

I've had a lot of success wih tracking calories in my fitness pal + moderate exercise.

I have a friend who lost his mother to a reaction to diet pills. Horrible unnecessary tragedy. Don't do it. The shortcut is rarely the right way. :) artsyfartsy on "Would you/have you taken diet pills?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-youhave-you-taken-diet-pills#post-2096136 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 08:58:19 +0000 artsyfartsy 2096136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Thank you guys. You're reaffirming my logic side as to why I always said I wouldn't take them. It's so tempting but I know they're not good for you. hotchildinthecity on "Would you/have you taken diet pills?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-youhave-you-taken-diet-pills#post-2096131 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 08:54:13 +0000 hotchildinthecity 2096131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I have in college and would not again. There's no magic solution, just eat right and exercise. petunia354 on "Would you/have you taken diet pills?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-youhave-you-taken-diet-pills#post-2096129 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 08:52:30 +0000 petunia354 2096129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Not worth it!! There is a reason why there is no weight loss miracle pill....they don't work.

Too many have been later found to be dangerous - it just isn't worth it to me. ETA: I found this article that addresses some of the dangerous ingredients. I would thoroughly investigate the pill (and it's ingredients) before even considering it! <a href="http://www.doctoroz.com/article/dangerous-diet-pill-ingredients" rel="nofollow">http://www.doctoroz.com/article/dangerous-diet-pill-ingredients</a> hilsy85 on "Would you/have you taken diet pills?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-youhave-you-taken-diet-pills#post-2096106 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 08:34:47 +0000 hilsy85 2096106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Have not and would not. I can't see how that could lead to sustainable weight loss (ie when you stop the pills the weight could come back, if they even work in the first place, not to mention how do they even work? Prob not in a healthy way). artsyfartsy on "Would you/have you taken diet pills?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-youhave-you-taken-diet-pills#post-2096096 Thu, 05 Mar 2015 08:29:02 +0000 artsyfartsy 2096096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I'm back on the workout train again. Doing well so far! I have 60+ pounds to lose though so it's going to be a long road. I have a friend on FB raving about ACE diet pills. They've really worked for her in a short time. I've never liked taking pills or anything like that, but it's so tempting to try along with healthy eating and working out. But I worry about side effects and what will happen when I stop taking them. Has anyone tried diet pills? Success? No success? Did the effects last? Would you recommend them?
