ARE DIET PILLS SAFE? Diet pill side effects can range from dizziness, nausea, increased urination, to more sever - chest pain, heart attack, liver and kidney damage, stroke, seizures, and even death. After a few months your body develops a tolerance for pill’s effects, so diet pills are meant to be taken for a very short period of time. These pills CAN be safe if they are not abused.

With combination of a healthy diet, and regular exercise a diet pill can give you that little extra nudge to loose a few extra pounds. Don’t expect to loose weight on a diet pill alone. Do your research, ask questions, read labels and find out what diet pill is right for you.

You can lose weight without exercise, but... -------------------------------------------- It is important to note that you can lose weight without exercise by modifying your diet. People lose weight all time without exercise by reducing caloric intake. In fact, in virtually all studies of weight loss, people who diet ALWAYS lose more weight than people who exercise. If you ask those same people to diet AND exercise, they lose a little more weight than dieters alone, but not that much. Why is this? This is due to muscle weights more than fat. With more muscle mass, your body will turn to fat as its energy source and burn fat for energy. As a pound of fat can be five times size of a pound of muscle, you can keep same weight, yet look trimmer and healthier, as lean muscle gives you a sleek, toned physique.

People who are most active are most successful ---------------------------------------------- In virtually every study of weight maintenance, people who are most active are most successful in maintaining weight loss. Most scientists agree that exercise is single best predictor of weight maintenance success.

So bottom line is to burn more calories than you consume, by either reducing your caloric intake, and then increasing your activity as you lose weight so by time you get to your goal weight you can keep it off because you are active.

One final point: Aerobic and resistance exercise are also both very important for health. In fact, you can be healthy and fit if you exercise independent of body weight. In one very important study, overweight, fit people were healthier and lived longer than lean, unfit people. That's a very important point because weight loss can be slow, frustrating, and not everyone gets to an "ideal" weight. So keep up exercise, watch your caloric intake, and results will follow.
