What risks are associated with taking weight loss pills?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Moderate: Most weight loss pills do not work in the long run and thus i would not recommend it. It would be better to modify your diet and pursue a regular exercise program including weight training to lose weight. Even more important than weight is physical fitness. Since most weight loss pills have stimulants as ingredients, it may make you more tense and cause insomnia not to mention faster heart beat.
