Is There Such Thing as a Safe Diet Pill That Works?

Looking For Weight Loss in All the Wrong Places

There are plenty of weight loss programs on the internet like NutriSystem, Atkins, and Dr. Oz Diet.  But that’s not where consumers are spending their money.  The bulk of money the diet industry makes every year comes from people looking for a diet pill that works.  There are so many diet pills out there.  So how do you go about finding safe diet pills?  Also, how do you even know if the diet pill is working or if the success is due solely through your own efforts?  First, you need to understand the ingredients that go into a diet pill that make it “effective.”

Diet Pills Are Deadly

What are the active ingredients in diet pills?  Ephedrine was the main ingredient in many of the top selling diet pills on the market before it was banned.  Ephedrine increased heart rate – along with heart attacks and strokes.  A lot of dieters assumed that because their heart rate increased, that meant their metabolism increased.  This is totally incorrect.  The key to weight loss is not heart rate.  A high metabolism is the sole requirement to losing weight. 

A Functional Metabolism

I often hear people say, “I have a slow metabolism.”  I also hear them say that since they’ve yo-yo dieted their whole lives their metabolism is “broken.”  There is no such thing as a “broken” metabolism.  Also, a slow metabolism can be reversed.  Put your metabolism in reverse mode and turn it into a turbo engine by doing aerobics.  Any aerobic exercise done for 30 minutes at least 5 days a week will speed up your metabolism in no time.  Your metabolism will work overtime if you start lifting weights.  Why?  Muscle burns fat even while resting.  Instead of wasting your energy looking for diet pills, start looking for a good gym to invest your hard earned money in and a personal trainer! 

There is No Secret to Weight Loss

Dieters, there is no secret to weight loss.  The answer is right under your noses.  You have got to create a calorie deficit in order to lose weight.  You also need to make sure that you are losing fat, not just water.  Many diet pills only make you lose water, but not fat.  If I had to formulate an equation for the “secret” to weight loss, it would look something like this:  well balanced high fibrous meals + 30 minutes aerobics daily + weight training + 8 to 12 glasses of water per day = weight loss success.
