Are fat burning pills safe? are they effective when coupled with exercise?

No pills burn fat: There is no such thing as a pill that burns fat. Other than stomach surgery, the only safe way to lose weight is cutting down on calories and increasing physical activity.

Fat burning pills: Fat burning pills are not safe w/out medical supervision and likely not effective. There are doctors called bariatricians who specialize in this if you want to seek one out. Alternatively, you can review your lifestyle w/your doctor to see what is safe for you. Peace and good health.
