Is there an ultimate diet pill or quick weight lose pill around?

None: No diet pill has proven effective for anything other than short-term weight loss, usually through a combination of stimulants to reduce appetite and diuretics to get rid of water weight, the latter being not true weight loss. The pharmaceutical industry is working furiously to find an effective weight-loss pill because the market is huge; that they have not found one says a lot.Di.
