Lightbulb Diet Pills: Are You Sure They're Safe?

Hello,

Ok it's a fact: dieting is difficult. It takes time, motivation and commitment. I don't have pounds to lose but I have people around me who do.

Because it is difficult and requires efforts from you, a mega selling industry has grown up around diet aids, and more and more people are turning to diet pills to help shift their extra weight.

But hey! Wake up! Have you made your homework? Have you checked if they are safe or not? And before taking some diet pills X are you sure that they are right for you?

You should be aware that diet pills generally fall into two categories

– those that are prescribed by a doctor
- those that are sold over the counter.

Diet pills prescribed by your doctor may be safer than the over the counter variety, because they have being recommended for you by a medical professional who knows all about your personal health history and concerns.

That does not mean, however, that these pills are side effect free, or that they are completely safe. Diet pills are serious business, no matter who is doling them out.

Taking diet pills over the counter is significantly riskier than getting pills from your doctor. Over the counter diet pills often contain forms of amphetamines (and in fact, over the counter diet pills were a major source of the now outlawed amphetamine ephedrine, which is blamed for many deaths).

These amphetamine ingredients can be dangerous for people with heart disease, high blood pressure, thyroid disease and many other conditions.

Even when they are not specifically dangerous, they can make you feel pretty unpleasant. Jittery hands, racing heart, sweating, dry mouth, nervousness, and insomnia – these effects can all be caused by diet pills.

So please do never take diet pills except if they are prescribed to you by your doctor. This is because your doctor will help you balance the risks associated with diet pills with the overall health benefits you would reap from losing some weight.

Kind regards,
Andre

I would suggest no pills at all, ever for any reason.
