Is it true that the use of appetite suppressants is beneficial to lose a small amount of weight?

Appetite suppressant: Usually appetite suppressants are not effective in the long term for weight loss. A healthy diet, controlling calories, exerise as tolerated, and keeping the mind active on interesting topics will work much better than appetite suppressants.
