You didn’t really think I was going to tell you about some great diet pill that will help you lose weight fast, did you? Of course not! Why? Because diet pills are a HUGE no-no. If there was some magical diet pill that dropped the pounds quickly, I don’t think anybody would have an excuse to be overweight or obese. So today’s advice is simply this, there is no magic pill that’s going to get your weight to where you want to be that is healthy and good for your body.

I remember a while back when I was watching The Oprah Show and Oprah Winfrey said something like - If there was a diet pill that could keep her thin, no matter how much it cost, she would have it. Obviously she doesn’t have any magic diet pill, so all of those ads and commercials are just giving you false hope that there’s an easy solution. Losing weight is a challenge, trust me, I know! But it feels SO good when people ask you how you did it and you can say “by eating right and exercising.”

To add to this pro-losing-weight-naturally chat we have going on here, another thing to keep in mind is this: A recent study by the University of Connecticut found that sixty-five percent of diet pill users think they’ll shed pounds — and don’t know that most of the drugs aren’t government regulated. Would you allow your child to take a drug that wasn’t regulated or approved by the government? Probably not, so why should things be any different for you?

Anytime you see a commercial for a diet pill that sounds appealing and seems so convincing, remember, there is no diet pill that is going to allow you reach your overall goal of maintaining a healthy life style. Always look at the big picture and what will be best for you in the long run.
