Are there any healthy diet pills that work for teenagers?

I'm 20 pounds overweight. HELP!Are there any healthy diet pills that work for teenagers?
None really work. Read the labels...they ALL say the same thing. Something along the lines of ';if you take this pill with a calorie-reduced diet and regular exercise, you MAY lose weight.'; Even the so-called natural ones carry dangers with them that are not worth it.





There's only one safe way to lose weight effectively, and that is to eat a LITTLE less (by 200-400 calories) than the amount of calories you need to use in a day. If you eat too much less, you body goes into fat storage mode, and your attempts at starving yourself will backfire, as you will get fat quickly again when you start eating again.

Go to weight watchers if you really want an effective way to lose weight and keep it off.Are there any healthy diet pills that work for teenagers?
there are no healthy diet pills period. diet pills are never good for anyone including teenagers. If you are overweight try to eat lots of fruits/veggies/lowfat dairy products. Don't eat the energy bars, atkins bars, or slim fast stuff. It's more unhealthy for you than ordinary chocolate.
best answer is to exercise, diet pills are not the way out..


once you start taking pills, you have to take them for life, and if you stop taking them,(from experience) there are serious side-effects.


Consult a doc if you do use a diet pill
Diet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Exercise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


No Excuses!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have struggled with my weight for years and no pill is entirely safe or completely effective. The way I lost weight was to go to weight watchers and really learn how to portion control and make better choices as far as food. I would seriously suggest going to a program such as weight watchers and start an exercise routine, perhaps join a gym.
Diet Pills aren't the solution to being overweight. They will only hurt you in the long run. My recommendation is drink a lot of water, atleast 8 glasses a day because it will curb your appetite, also eat a lot of little meals every day instead of 3 big meals or only eating once a day, if you have an orange a piece of toast and a glass of milk for breakfast, then have an energy bar (like Tigers Milk or Nutri Grain) for a snack before lunch then at lunch you won't be very hungry so have just 1/2 a sandwhich and an apple, then have some pretzels or another little snack after school, then eat whatever your mom makes for dinner, just avoid too much bread, salt or sugar and eat little portions, then have a glass of milk near bedtime, if you drink a glass of water before every meal and eat often your body won't think it is being starved and won't store fat and your metabloism will naturally speed up which should cause you to lose weight, try to exercise, find a dance class or video or go bike riding, anything to get your body moving and your heart pumping is good for you. Keep a food journal too and see how much of your diet is junk food, salt, sugar or bad fats and then you will know what to cut out and replace with a healthy alternative. If all else fails see if your parents will help you pay for the nutrisystem diet or if you are extrememly self conscious ask your parents to let you see your doctor who may recommend a nutritioinst for you. Stay healthy! Jenn
No!! Don't cheat. If you want a healthy good looking body you are going to have to work at it.


Good luck
Don't know but I#d sure like to know
I don't know of any pills that are not harmful in some way, loosing weight is not a mystery. Watermelon eat as much as you want!!! The biggest thing is stop eating bread potatoes rice, anything with starch. If you eat only fresh fruit and veggies you will loose wieght in no time.I stopped drinking soda once and lost 10 pounds in a week!!!Stay away from candy chips anything processed. I was a teenage fatty too and I lost my wieght doing these things 25 years ago. Try nto get a pet if you don't have one .If you walk only 20 min a day this will raise your metabilism which will burn calories. Good Luck to you... It's all brain power. You can do it!!!
