For a child, weight loss can be achieved with low calories diet and exercise and it should be done slowly with patience. Herbal supplement is not recommended and it is less likely effective if diet and exercise are not followed.

Whatever this "natural" diet pill is, ain't good. No pill, even amphetamines, will solve your weight problem since as tolerance develops, just the opposite happens. You will ONLY lose weight by exercising to the point that you are out of breath and then continue to exercise for at least an additional 20-30 minutes AT LEAST 3-4 times/week. AT 15-years-old you can still completely reverse obesity.
