Does diet pills really work?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
They can: Coupled with a good diet and increased activity, yes. Diet pills generally help to curb the appetite and subsequently decrease the amount of food you eat. Over an extended period of time, may help lose about 8% of your excess weight. Side effects may include elevated blood press, fast heart rate, insomnia, tremors and several others. Taking them doesn't offset poor eating habits.

Not usually: Diet pills don't usually work. The best method of weight loss is diet and exercise.
