What over-the-counter diet pills really work?

I don't like how Alli works, but I was hoping to find a appetite suppressant that works immediately.

    I'm going to make this very simple for you OK!

    NONE!!!!!!!!!!

    There is no shortcut to losing weight. you have to do it the old fashioned way,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,EXERCISE!

    The only appetite that works is called WATER. you should drink at least 64 ounces of water per day, this will help your stomach stay full and stop the cravings. If you don't like water get something like wylers or chrystal light.

    I have been through it all and know what's it about. The main thing is to stick in there. You can't be an addict to food and never exercise if you want to live a healthy life and keep the weight off. I've worked out, done every diet, and all types of classes.

    Nothing works, besides dedication and intelligence towards the subject of losing weight.

    First, depending on how much weight you need to lose, your diet is the first concern. You can't eat 10,000 calories a day and expect the weight to come off, even if you are exercising a lot. Which brings us to the next thing. Duh, Exercising...

    This is a must especially if you need to a lot of weight. Get at least 30 mins of some good hardcore exercising. Do some cardio, in the long run, it's good for the heart.

    However, I find the most hardest part of losing weight/keeping it off, in my diet. It's so hard to keep your fingers out of the cookie jar or those chocolate goodies. I've found a great addition to help any one out, it's a natural weight loss supplement called Proactol. Now don't get all crazy on me and say diet pills don't work. That is true, but not in this case. This one isn't meant to burn pounds while you sit on the couch. It's an appetite suppressant, along with being a fat binder. I saved money on the pills at theweightlossplace. com along with getting some good info. It basically makes those fingers not go towards the cookie jar. For me it's the best pill I've tried and I've tried cupboards full. Now this doesn't mean you have to follow my foot steps but I've successfully lost roughly 70 pounds and keeping it off til this day.

    Well good luck and remember what I said, Dedicate.

    I second the water comment above, with something to add:

    Good ol' insoluble fiber (such as oatmeal) will keep you feeling full for longer periods, and release glucose into your blood slowly. This helps you from crashing and feeling hungry. And, foods high in fiber are usually lower in calories.

    That, and stay busy! I find a lot of people snack when they're bored or sitting at the computer.
