If you absolutely had to choose a diet pill which ones would you recommend?

None: I do not know of any diet pill that is both safe and effective so that I do not recommend any.

Medical Management: There are no known diet pills that have been adequately researched over the counter. As a prescription med, Phentermine , given by an experienced physician is far safer Plan B than bariatric surgery. I have utilized Phentermine by rx. For patients for 17 years plus. The drug should not be prescribed by a physician without adequate experience with this medication. The drug is not an amphetamine.

OTC: The only medication otc that could possibly work well would be hoodia, but because hoodia is declared by the fda to be a food supplement it's potentcy--authenticity as a medication is not regulated. A pharmaceutical co. In europe has purchased the patent rights of the purified ingredient of hoodia. There has been a standstill as far as development of this potential weight loss medication.

Lose wt: The best to lose weight is to eat less food-calories.Exercise is secondary but helps.Especially to maintain weight loss. Eating less is diffiicult because you are really hungry 75% of the time. You are not lazy or crazyyou are just more hungry for various reasons--genetics, body chemistry.Don't blame yourself.Just get started.Physicians experienced with medical wt. Loss are called bariatricians.
