Please stop now although the appeal of losing weight quickly is hard to resist. But do weight-loss pills and products lighten anything but your wallet? And the real question is they a safe option for weight loss?
Fact is a number of weight-loss pills are available at your local drugstore, supermarket or health food store. Even more options are available online. Most haven't been proved effective, and some may be downright dangerous.
Dietary supplements and weight-loss aids aren't subject to the same rigorous standards as are prescription drugs. Thus, they can be sold with limited proof of effectiveness or safety.
It's important to do your homework if you're thinking about trying over-the-counter weight-loss pills. Read labels and talk with your doctor or pharmacist. Also be sure to check the FDA website for alerts about safety concerns and product recalls.
I recommend, if you do not want any long term damage in your body then just avoid those short term ways to lose your weight.
