Rapid Weight Loss Pills: Too Good to be True?

Anyone who needs to lose weight has probably wished at one time or another for a magic pill or liquid that could make those pounds disappear in one big whoosh. But the reality is that there is nothing, short of extreme liposuction, that will result in rapid weight loss without any kind of effort or dieting. (And who says extreme liposuction isn't an effort?) Skip the rapid weight loss pills and opt for changing your eating habits.

The safest way to lose weight, and keep it off, is to eat a healthier diet (more fruits and veggies, leaner meat, and whole grains) and exercise regularly, even if it's a walk around the block three times a week.

For decades, weight loss pills of some form or another have been touted as the next big thing in fat reduction, and millions of people have crossed their fingers and hoped that this one would be the cure they'd waited for.

But the ugly truth is those pills rarely work in any lasting way. Sure, every pill has helped some people lose weight, but more often than not, the weight was gained back (plus some!) as soon as the fast dieting pills were no longer a regular part of their routine.

Diet pills don't teach anyone about good, healthful eating and sane exercise. They don't help people change their habits; and while they may curb cravings from time to time, they only work as long as they're being ingested, and then the cravings and unhealthy eating patterns come back with a vengeance.

Some pills have even proved to be quite dangerous, beyond the yo-yo weight loss and gain many dieters have experienced. Late-night television is filled with ads from lawyers who want to sign you up for class-action lawsuits against this drug company or that pharmaceutical corporation for faulty diet pills that have caused all kinds of health problems and even death.

Our advice? Be smart, and just say no to fast weight loss pills.
