Are diet pills right for me? i want to use diet pills to help jump start my weight loss. i am 5' 1" and i weigh 135 pounds. my goal is to lose only 10-20 pounds.

There : There is not one single study that demonstrates any long term success in patients who use diet pills. Most diet pills have significant side effects. You are very close to an ideal body weight. You most likely already have knowledge of healthy eating habits and exercise habits. The best choice may be to see a nutritionist or personal trainer to cement some excellent skills with eating choices and exercise which have proven benefit.

Not recommended: Since you're technically not overweight (body mass index 25.5), you don't qualify for prescription diet pills. I recommend following a very low carb, ketogenic diet along with circuit training, yoga and spinning to lose weight and jump start your metabolism.
