Herbal Diet Pills

Herbal diet pills are very tempting if you want to lose weight, especially if you have tried several conventional weight loss diets without success.

Dieters who fail to lose weight on orthodox diet plans should not turn to herbal diet pills or weight loss herbs as an easy answer to their weight problems. Instead they should continue with their weight loss diet and work on improving their motivation to lose weight and exercise.

The herbal diet pills are extremely well-liked these days as a substitute to more conventional methods of weight loss like diet and exercise.  Herbal treatments in general are very trendy today, which I find a little worrisome for several reasons. 

First of all, just about anything can be in an herbal diet pill taken as part of an herbal life diet.  ‘Herbs’ are a type of get-out in the FDA system, as they are not classified as drugs and therefore don’t have the rigorous standards for testing and safety that drugs normally get. 

Make no mistake about it though, herbal diet pills can be every bit as potent and harmful as drugs.  The difference between medicinal herbs and drugs is really quite vague anyway, as most drugs themselves come from a kind of plant or herb. 

Nearly all of the time the ‘herbal’ classification doesn’t last very long; the FDA eventually calls it a drug and brings in the scientists.

When that happens herbal diet pills often either become available only by prescription or is banned completely.  Snooping around a little from site to site selling herbal diet pills, it is clear that the makers of these things are all too familiar with the FDA. 

Many sites even use it to their advantage saying things to the effect of ‘buy it now before the FDA bans it!’ You have to ask yourself, if the FDA is likely going to ban an herbal diet pill you’re interested in, should you be taking it at all?

I took a small number of herbal diet pills in college once on a whim, and I didn’t eat anything for nearly two days afterwards. I also didn’t really get much sleep either. Anything that makes you wired like that and kills your appetite so completely just isn’t good for you.
 
While they were ‘ephedra free’ and were supposedly totally natural and safe, I don’t think I’d ever felt so polluted and ill in my life.  A year later I discovered that the FDA had banned the same herbal diet pills I had taken, and I have to wonder what it was I had put in my body.

Nevertheless, just don’t be fooled by the word ‘herbal’ in an herbal diet pill. I would actually trust a regular diet pill that is FDA approved a lot more than some herbal diet pill concoction that has who knows what in it.

The words herbal and natural are marketing ploys and should never be confused with the word safe unless there’s been some testing to prove it. 
  
Diet pills with 'Natural', 'Herbal' or similar descriptions are not necessarily any healthier than other diet or weight loss pills. In fact, some of these herbal diet pills are associated with some major health concerns. So don't trust diet pills just because they sound 'natural'.
