A member asked:
I'm only 5'8 and 200 lbs. i'm wondering if i should take diet pills. what are the short term and long term side effects?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Diet pills are not : The solution. They can cause serious side effects. Calories burned must exceed calories consumed to lose weight. Healthy nutrition with limits on calories & physical activities are the solution. Good luck.
