No magic: None really. Firstly there aren't really any effective wt loss meds. Over the counter meds are either ineffective dangerous or both. Diet , exercise , counseling and for severe obesity bariatric procedures are the real options. Even a 10# wt loss can reduce your BP so modest wt loss is a real treatment for high bp.

Diet Pill: There is no single diet pill that is 100% safe. Each one has its own side effects. Better focus on life style modifications with more fruits, vegetables, high protein diet, less carbohydrate, daily exercise.
