I was wondering is it good to take diet pils?

Uh, no, but you already knew that.
What else did you want to know? That sounded like a yes or no question to me.

Why are they not good to take? Other than the fact that they don't work? lol. I've tried them, didn't help. Waste of money!

Some of them work just fine, but you might as well drink 6 cups of coffee, the caffeine/gurana pills work, no question about it, but they keep you jittery and uncomfortable and they're bad for heart/blood pressure etc. I used a 4th of recommended doze when I was feeling really tired at work and we had no coffee, kept me hyper for the day, I think if I had taken the recommended 4 pills a day I probably would've burst, so that makes me weary of these things. The healthy diet and work out cliche is true, it's the only way to lose weight, you can use these pills responsibly and very carefully to help, because they do, a bit, to me anyway, but be careful.

There's also this new product called Alli that doesn't actually rev up your metabolism but instead keeps your body from absorbing some of the fat you eat. It's a lot safer, and while it won't help you lose huge amounts of weight, it can help some.

Hi. First, many diet pills claim to boost your energy. They may do so, but usually do it with caffeine, or other caffeine substitutes. It's not a healthy energy boost. Also, taking the diet pills really doesn't teach a person the healthy way to eat. So, as soon as you stop taking them, you're liable to gain all your weight back, because you really haven't changed your lifestyle. Last, many pills claim to be "natural," and say they have lots of herbs in them. They do, but a lot of time, those herbs are untested, and they are not regulated by the FDA, so you don't really know what you're putting in your body. This is especially dangerous if you're on prescription medications, because studies are not done on how the stuff in diet pills reacts with your prescriptions. Believe me, I've tried several different diet pills in years past. At best, they didn't do anything for me at all. At worst, they made me feel jittery instead of energized, or sick because of the way they interacted with the prescription meds I'm on. There's a ton of weight loss gimmicks out there, but seriously, there's no substitute for teaching yourself to eat healthier and exercise.

Calli Girl, it all depends on your body.
