A member asked:

What kind of diet pills are the best to take having ra nd fibromylagia? i tried everything on eating less nd exercise. i need to loose wieght.

See dietitian: If you haven't been able to lose weight by changing your diet and exercising then it might be helpful to see a dietitian. Most people have a hard time making long-term changes in their diet and continuing to exercise. It usually helps to have a supportive professional guide you along the way. Ask your doctor for a referral.
