Have You Ever Tried Diet Pills?
As of last Friday, Hydroxycut diet aids have been voluntarily recalled after a warning from the Food and Drug Administration. The FDA had received 23 reports of "serious health problems ranging from jaundice and elevated liver enzymes, an indicator of potential liver injury, to liver damage requiring liver transplants" after using the supplement.
Hydroxycut pills, drinks, and powders are promoted as weight loss supplements that increase energy while boosting the metabolism.
Wynonna Judd Uses Alli Diet Pills — Should You?
Wynonna Judd has been struggling with her weight both in and out of the public eye. In 2003, she opened up to Oprah about how her cholesterol levels were putting her at risk for a heart attack, and three years later, she checked into a treatment center for food addiction.

Is Hoodia Safe For Appetite Suppressant?
When it comes to losing weight, I'm very wary of appetite suppressants. For one, I don't think popping pills instead of eating is healthy whatsoever, and I also worry about the effects of these pills on the body. One such pill, Hoodia gordonii (called hoodia for short), is gaining popularity.
Over the Counter Alli: Cool or Not?
Do you guys remember me telling you about Alli the first OTC Diet pill approved by the FDA? The one that causes anal leakage? Remember?
First Over the Counter Diet Pill Approved by FDA
I have a pretty bad opinion of weight loss pills, I am not convinced there is a magic bullet. Nor am I convinced that diet pills are the answer to losing weight.

I was perusing through a magazine last night and saw a huge ad for Alli, the first FDA-approved over the counter diet pills, and that got me thinking. As women feeling the pressures of having the perfect Barbie-body, I'm sure we've all had thoughts about how to get a quick fix. So I want to know...

Glucomannan: A Safe Way to Lose Weight?
There is no shortage of crash diets and diet pills when it comes to losing weight fast and easy. Companies are even pushing natural supplements that they claim will help melt away pounds, like this one called Glucomannan.

Internet Weight Loss Supplements: A Bad Idea and Bad For You
We've all gotten the spam messages in our inbox about pills promising immediate weight loss, without the help of diet and exercise. Sure, it may seem tempting, but new research has found that weight-loss supplements widely available for purchase online often include ingredients that are potentially hazardous to your heart.
I am not a fan of weight-loss supplements — I believe that the benefits of exercise and eating healthy far outweigh losing a few quick pounds.
Fittingly Mad: Diet Pill Commercials
Lately I have noticed that I cannot catch up on my TV shows without having to fast forward through a massive amount of diet pill and nutritional supplement commercials. I would not mind so much if they were not so obviously misleading, disturbingly false and oddly creepy.
