What Are The Best Pills For Weight Loss?

So the reason that these don't work is that they're changing certain pathways and certain metabolic functions. Let's say you take injections, you want to take B12 shots, or you want to take phentermine. It works in the short-term because of the physiological reaction in your body, but as soon as you take away the drug, the body not only returns to normal but there is an overcorrection. People can end up heavier than when they started the treatment. 

Phentermine is a big no-no. If you ask me, I will tell you that it is street-legal meth. It's going to definitely cause you to lose weight, but it's going to do it at the expense of your thyroid and your adrenals, and also your heart.

The Risks Of Taking Diet Pills

I've had patients clients who've come in and have permanent heart damage because of the amount of phentermine that they took. It actually can damage the heart muscles. Phentermine can help you lose weight temporarily. But what happens is it stresses the thyroid. It stresses the adrenals and the body. When you come off of the phentermine, the body is going to retaliate and you'll put that weight back on, plus even more! 

That is definitely not a solution if your goals are long-term weight loss. If you just want to lose weight quickly for a photo shoot or for a wedding or something like that, maybe you can do that, but it's not healthy.
