Please do not try diet pills because they are not the long term answer and many can cause negative health effects. Consider a healthy lifestyle change.
The following healthy living recommendations will help you if you???re trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:
*1) Burn more calories then you're consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity minus the Thermic Effect of Food (TEF). A website that explains this formula in more detail and will help you determine how many calories you need to reach or maintain a certain weight is at http://www.primusweb.com/fitnesspartner/...
Get a diet and fitness calculator that you can put on your computer or cell phone. This will allow you to easily calculate the above formula, set goals, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities.
Set realistic goals for your ideal body weight. Here are two websites that will calculate a suggested body weight:
Adults: http://www.halls.md/ideal-weight/body.ht...
Teens/Children: http://www.kidshealth.org/kid/exercise/w...
It is difficult and unhealthy to lose more than one or two pounds per week. There are 3,500 calories in a pound. If you eat 500 fewer calories per day for a week you will lose one pound. If you burn through exercise 500 more calories per day for a week you will lose one pound.
*2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.
Avoid ???High Glycemic Load Carbs??? (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice high starch vegetables such as potatoes) and drink lots of water. Read this article for more information on high GL Carbs:

LIPODRENE is the strongest diet pill I know of without a prescription. It has ingredients that have been proven to encourage weight-loss and "real" hoodia gordonii to suppress your appetite.

Dear curious george.
There is no fast nor magic pill to lose weight.
Anybody with some extra pounds will get very anxiuos to lose them in a jiffy.
There is when the psoblems arise.
Have you had your thyroid checked recently?
Has Your appetite increased for some reason (nervousness, depression etc),or none at all?
The first answer would be a proper diet (adjusted to your age and activity)
I know, the answer may be very corny, however, siet pills have sometimes, serious side effects, and the selection of that, has to be tailored on individual basis.
Over the counter pills like mephentermine, ephedra derivates,
and naphazoline, can cause high blood pressure, headache etc.(addiction sometimes).
More effective are prescription pills (mazindol, amphebutamone, etc) however with all of them without properdiet l however with all of them without propr diet and exercise, there will be always a " rebound" in your bodyweight, no matter how "strong" the pills might be.
Check it with Your doc,,,,I know what I am talking about.
Yours sincerely

**** VERY IMPORTANT NOT TO GET RIPPED OFF ---
#1. Be sure you are buying pure Hoodia...look for the import certificate on the website. No matter the price, if they do not display this, you really do NOT know what you are getting!
#2. Be sure it is 100% Hoodia & not mixed w/other herbs, etc.!!
#3. Keep in mind it stops your hunger pangs???you MUST remember to break your habit to always eat at certain times.
#4. Drink a full 8oz. glass of water with it!
Hoodia (HOOD-ee-uh) gordonii - A genus of 10 to 20 species from southwestern Africa.
Hoodia gordonii is the stoneage wonder plant found throughout the dry arid regions of the South western African continent now on the verge of making history in the fight against obesity. It is a genus belonging to the Asclepiadaceae family which consists of approximately 20 species. Used to stop hunger, quench thirst, and provide energy among other things since prehistoric times, Hoodia gordonii was first discovered by the San tribesmen and women to get through the most difficult of times.
