Diet Pills And Supplements;beware! There's No Magic Bullet For Losing Weight by sdconcepts4real: 11:11am On Jan 23, 2017
Beware of products (diet pills and supplements) that promise quick and easy weight loss.

Approved weight-loss diet pills aren’t a magic bullet for weight loss. They won’t work for everyone, all of them have side effects, and none of them are risk-free. But the modest benefits they provide may outweigh the risks if your obesity-related health risks are significant.
The appeal of losing weight quickly is hard to resist. But do weight-loss pills and products lighten anything but your wallet? And are they a safe option for weight loss?

If weight loss sounds like a lot of physical and mental work, that's because it is. And there's no magic pill: Dietary supplements that claim to help people lose weight have not been proven to work, and they have the potential to be dangerous, do your research!

Many nutritionists and researchers agree that such supplements can do more harm than good. Supplements can contain drugs that are not listed on the label, and may have harmful side effects. In 2014, the Food and Drug Administration identified more than 30 weight loss supplements that contained hidden drugs, but only seven of these were recalled by their manufacturers.
However, medical experts cautioned that the long-term safety of weight loss drugs hasn't been studied. Most of the studies look at these drugs' safety after just one year, — because it was later linked with an increased risk of heart attack and stroke.

In any case, weight loss drugs may not be a long-term method for keeping weight off, because people may regain the weight when they stop taking the drugs.

BEWARE of products that promise quick and easy weight loss. Over-the-counter supplements aren’t regulated by The Nigerian drug association or around the world. According to medical experts, most of those products don’t work, and some of them are dangerous. Federal regulators have found products marketed as diet supplements that contain drugs that aren’t approved for use in the in most countries.

Diet pill controversy

Weight-loss medications are highly controversial. A number of products have been taken off the market after causing serious health problems. Some of this products was linked to a number of deaths, as well as cases of pulmonary hypertension and damaged heart valves.

Set realistic expectations
There's no magic bullet for losing weight. The most effective way to lose weight and keep it off is through lifestyle changes. Eat a healthy low-calorie diet with lots of fruits and vegetables and be physically active.
Weight-loss pills — prescription medicines, non-prescription drugs, herbal medicines or other dietary supplements — are all, at best, tools that may help with weight loss. But there is relatively little research about these products, and the best studied of these are prescription weight-loss drugs.
