A member asked:
Is taking diet pills worse than starving oneself?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, but: Neither are as good as learning how to eat and exercise properly for the rest of your life. Both diet pills and starving are potentially dangerous. Proper nutrition and exercise isn't, in fact it's healthy. Do it internally, not externally. Improve your lifestyle and your life.
