Pros and Cons

However, people can become dependent on diet pills in the same way they can become dependent on caffeine or other stimulants.

The effects are similar to cocaine, but the onset is slower and the duration is longer. Physical effects include

Increased heart rate.
Increased blood pressure.
Increased body temperature.
Increased rate of breathing.
Increased appetite.

Behavioural effects include

Temporary hyperactivity.
Sense of increased energy.

Psychological effects include

Sense of euphoria.
Paranoia.

Thus, the conclusive statement as is evident by readers would be "It's prudent not to resort to these medications, when there is a plethora of other options available."

Consultation with your doctor and dietician prior to commencement of any such therapy is advisable.

So it is better to eat right and exercise wise in order to be "healthy, wealthy and wise"!

Phentermine 37.5 mg is a diet pill that has been shown to work very well for me. I've lost 12 kg in three months and no side effects so far. Can't wait for the next 6 to go! It can be bought without a prescription at meridiareductil.com. I have purchased several times from this company and they have been very efficient.

I am aware of the dangers of what most of the diet pills being offered over the net can bring to the body. I have tried the healthiest way of losing weight which is exercise and diet. I wouldn't have resorted to weight loss pills if these two were effective for me. Maybe one way or another I may have done it the wrong manner but either way, I still can't keep up with it as I am now swamped with so many things to do. I know that the culprit is my unusual hunger pangs. I have tried different diet pills before and I would agree that most, if not all, can really bring danger to our body. To rule out my options, I went to a doctor to have some advice and I was given an appetite suppressant, given the fact that I always feel hungry most of the time. Prescopodene works for me and so far, no side effects. I'm definite that I'm really losing weight as not only that my hunger has been curbed, I also feel lighter. Indeed, there's too many ways of losing weight, you just have to find what works for you best.
