Diet pills are everywhere, they tempt from store shelves, from infomercials and from glossy magazine pages.
Stimulants: These types of weight loss pills used to contain a combination of ephedra and caffeine to raise energy expenditure (thermogenesis) while also reducing appetite. Fat Blockers: These pills inhibit the action of the enzyme lipase, which is responsible for breaking down fat during the digestion process.
While diet pills showcase a few star subjects, none of whom live on your block, the world is full of real people who have lost weight and improved their lives with exercise and healthy eating.

A pill may slightly increase your metabolic rate for a time or may suppress your appetite, and you may lose a few pounds.
If you really want to lose weight, if you’re looking for long term health benefits then look no farther than your sneakers. You probably know someone who is dabbling with diet pills or maybe you’ve tried them yourself. You’re probably aware that these pills were proven in some cases to be deadly, so ephedra was taken off the market.

It’s so tempting to imagine that those benefits could be gained just by swallowing a pill.
