Question 1

is phentramine safe for weight loss?

Accepted Answer

Phentermine Danger: Nope. It is very dangerous to your heart. It is also dangerous to your brain because there is no real or lasting weight loss but the person taking the drug can become obsessed about staying on it just like an addict. There is a fear that weight gain will result if one stops this ineffective and dangerous drug.

Question 2

is hcg safe for weight loss?

Accepted Answer

No: Hcg does not help with weight loss. Plus, if you're not getting it on prescription, you're doing it illegally and who knows what you're injecting and how much harm it could cause you. Don't get your medical information from friends, tv or the internet.

Question 3

is phentermine safe for weight loss.

Accepted Answer

Under supervision: Appetite suppressant drugs such as Phentermine can help in weight loss but these medications should only be used under close supervision of a physician.  There is risk of high blood pressure, increased heart rate, dependency, etc.  If Phentermine is used, it is always best to use it for the shortest period of time and at the lowest dose.

Question 4

is the apple cider vinegar safe for weight loss, and for how many month should i take it?

Accepted Answer

For weight loss?: Apple cider vinegar is safe to use , but it will not make you lose weight . 

Reduce the amount of food you east and stop  eating and do not eat fructose , high fructose corn syrup, and cut down on carbohydrates to lose weight.

Question 5

is taking pure green coffee bean extract and garcinia cambogia extract good and safe for weight loss?

Accepted Answer

NO. Don't use it: Garcinia cambogia is in most weight loss supplements, and can cause liver failure.It was also used in Hydroxycut which was taken off the market as people died from using it.  I see a handful of patients per month with abnormal liver tests after using this medicine. I would NOT recommend it. There is no "magic pill" for weight loss. Diet and exercise remain the #1 way to lose weight and keep it off

Question 6

is it safe to take tejocote root? i heard its good for weight loss?

Accepted Answer

: Tejocote root (mexican hawthorn) (manzanita) is a natural plant found in Mexico. There are 14 different types and there is no standardization to the products. There are claims about weight loss, but data suggests that it is merely a diuretic and a laxative. Taking too much Tejocote root may result in toxicity which may cause dysrhythmias and respiratory depression.

Question 7

is "magic slim" a safe drug for weight loss?

Accepted Answer

No: No drugs are good for weight loss. I would be willing to bet that you would lose weight if you stopped all forms of sugar.

Question 8

could you tell me what are safe weight loss products?

Accepted Answer

Dietary Changes: Weight loss is all about calories in (diet) vs calories out (activity). The safest way to lose weight would be to make some dietary changes that would reduce your current caloric intake (portion control, liquid calories, wise snacks) and also begin some moderate exercise program (walking daily 30-45 minutes). Products don't help much. Weight loss takes time but is worth the effort for your health.

Question 9

what is a safe otc drug to help with weight loss while exercising?

Accepted Answer

Alli: It all depends on your definition of "safe".  Diet changes  are still key, so before considering any weight loss aide, make sure you are working on diet changes.  Alli (orlistat) works by preventing absorption of fat which reduces calories.  This can cause significant diarrhea, stool incontinence (accidents) when you eat fatty food.  This encourages avoidance of fatty foods, but at a dear price.

Question 10

are products such as nidora for weight loss safe and recommended . i  50 and would like to lose 8 kgs?

Accepted Answer

Herbal: Remedies are safe as long as you use as directed. The meds will work if you follow diet and exercise plan as prescribed.  So the most important factor is behavior modification.  Diet, exercise, sleep. You will see results.  Do not depend on meds alone
