Any kind of diet 'pill' just reinforces the mentality that weight loss is quick, lose 50lbs in 10 minutes! It's doubtful Anna Nicole Smith lost any weight on those pills, she most likely lost it through a combination of diet & exercise, but the pill companies want the not-so-smart consumer to THINK it's because of some miracle pill. Diet pills have been out for a long time, and if one of them actually worked, we'd ALL be taking them. One cannot honestly think that you can eat all you want and take a pill and lose weight, most likely, its' the same people who think that all you lose on Atkins is 'water weight'...............

It's time we stopped living in a fantasy world, and I think that this WOE and WOL is not a fantasy, but something that works for a lot of people.

Does low-fat, low-cal work? Perhaps for some, perhaps if you don't have a lot to lose and are metabolically predisposed to lose weight that way, but for most, you're starving, shaky, and weight loss is so slow and comes back on so quick, most don't bother for the long-term.

What does work in the long term? Exercise, eating right, eliminating the junk, overprocessed, no nutrition crap food that line our grocer shelves. Also moderation, you can indeed have some ice cream once in a while, a quart every other day and taking a pill will not cause anyone to lose any weight in the long run, and isn't long run health and weight loss what we all want?

Do what works...............
