Stay Away From Diet Pills

Why do I say stay away from diet pills? Well my story begins when a friend told me about some diet pills he got that were manufactured overseas. He had been having good experiences with them, and lost lots of weight so I decided I would try them out too. I paid the $45 for the 30 day supply and started taking the pills the next day.

I'd get up each morning drink a full glass of water and take one pill. That was all you had to do, there was no more to it really or at least that is what the directions on the box said. However I soon began experiencing the side effects of the pills. I began to have terrible head aches, my mouth and tongue were always dry and I began to feel a burning sensation in both of my arms. However I suffered through the side effects and kept taking them for 2 weeks.

At the end of the 2 weeks what I noticed was I had not lost one pound even though I had been eating less because they had curved my appetite. All that misery was for nothing, the headaches, the dry mouth etc. I did not lose one little ounce. I was very frustrated. So that is when I began to learn more about food and nutrition in general and also started exercising. After a month of doing those 2 things alone I lost 10 pounds.

This showed me that diet pills aren't the answer or at least they were not for me. Only by exercising and educating myself about nutrition and applying what I learned did I see any positive results. So stay away from the diet pills and educate yourself about nutrition and start exercising. Start by cooking your own meals and eating out less. Then go have a walk in the park or around the block in the neighborhood a few times a week. These few things alone can help you shed the pounds and feel better without any bad side effects that could lead to severe heath issues in the future.
