I think many women have at least tried diet pills. I made the mistake of trying Alli and spent a lot of money on a bottle and the side effects...let's say I stopped straight away and lost my weight the old fashioned way.

Now that I am maintaining pretty well, I am still seeing ads for tons of weight loss pills, some that cost an absolute fortune.

Alli is FDA approved which made it sell pretty quickly at first but now - not so quickly. Those side effects are pretty terrible!

I will no longer try anything like that again. Not that I was an experimenter in diet pills, I just thought - let's give it a shot. But it's not for me.

Has anyone else tried diet pills? Have they worked? Do you combine them with calorie restriction and exercise?
