Is there any safe pills on the market that will make you lose weight? or does only perscribed diet pills work and the safest?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pills not the answer: Diet pills are not the answer.Learning to eat for you is the answer.Decrease carbs, increase protein, stop soda and sugar.See your md for help. Why we get fat a great book by gary taubes will give you good information.Also see our web page www.Weighstation.Net for more information.
