Are Diet Pills All That Bad?
By：T.F

QUESTION: I have been dieting for the better part of my adult life, and know that I can’t make any progress without a little help from my doctor.
However he is most negative about such pills, and keeps trying to counsel me to do it by diet and exercise alone.
What is the scoop, are diet pills all that bad?

ANSWER: Diet pills, both the older amphetamine types and the newer ones, should be taken only with extreme caution and under the care of a qualified physician.
If you have a family or personal history of psychosis or substance abuse, you probably should not take diet pills at all.
If emotional problems develop while you are taking diet pills, talk with your doctor without delay. Discontinuing the pills and psychiatric help will avoid further problems. The more common side effects of diet pills are dry mouth, dilated pupils, dizziness, heart palpitations, irritability and insomnia.
Some people who use diet pills become depressed, paranoid or have unusual blood cell effects. Knowing all this, why would anyone take diet pills? Some people are willing to take the risks they pose, because the lure of a “quick fix” for their weight problems is too much to resist.
There are many people who feel as you do, that without some “help” they are faced with the possibility of failure when trying to lose weight.
At the risk of sounding quite boring, I must remind you that the only way to solve a weight problem is to cut down your calorie intake and increase your exercise.
Certainly, using diet pills as a temporary aid to get started can be an essential help, particularly when you are under medical supervision, but the real success will come when you make these changes a regular part of your life.
Then you’ll see a weight loss that is healthy and permanent.
