It depends: Diet pills are plenty, most effective ones are stimulant appetite suppressants which are harmful in long term to your heart, nervous system, kidneys and can cause dependence. Some are less harmful and less effective. Diet pills are best used along with proper diet, lifestyle and exercise. By themselves they are not very effective
