Diet Pills....

I'm supposed to bring diet pills to Japan for my gf's friend because they can't get them in Japan. So I was told to pick out the "best" one and bring a bottle or two.

Now, I'm under the impression that ALL diet pills are the same: they don't work at all. I told her to tell her friend that it's pretty much pointless.

Am I right? Is there any benifits to taking them at all? Are there and side effects?

If they actually do something, which one in particular does it the best?


I searched google btw, but the first million sites are the diet pill sites themselves so it's very hard to get real data about them.

Thanks guys
 
You might want to ask around for the most effective ones...

There are herbal remedies, hunger suppressors, fat burning pills, etc... ask her specificially which ones she wants dawg.
 
Some do work, though with the ephedra issues now it's going to be harder to find a good one.

You should ask yourself if you want to be caught importing these into Japan. I don't think that I would.

Also, dieting pills are, in the majority of cases, a crutch and do more harm than good. Of course, most chubby people don't seem to care about that. Tell him diet + excercise = better.
 
try and find some ephedra pills somewhere. those actually do work. all the diet pills on the market now are pretty much just caffine pills. they work for maybe the first week, but your body starts to reject them quick. hell, i started taking stacker2 and they were making me lose even when i ate and didn't workout. now they don't do squat.
 
Diet pills can be dangerous. I'd try to talk them out of using them.

The only real fix is exercise and balanced meals.

ok, I know a good diet and exercise are key, but I doubt I convince her friend (someone I don't even know).

So, ephedra eh? Where can I get this and how much would it cost? I'm leaving soon so I need to act quickly

ephedra is banned in the US..
 
If you try hard, you can still get ephedra products...

they work, and should not have been banned... the government was so stupid to ban this...

fda sees 135 deaths, and a ban is put on... SO STUPID!!!!!

135 deaths from over doses or people with existing health issues...
tylenol has killed many more people... so has alcohol...

they aren't banned...
 
mm4
guggobolic (spelling?)
yohimbine hcl
caffeine

Though, these aren t going to work nearly as well without the ephedra... ::sigh::

Though I believe ephedrine hcl is still sold with guanifesin (spelling) as a bronchilator...
 
Ephedra does work. You can't buy it in that form in the US anymore, but you can buy ephedrine HCL. It's not magic obviously, but it does kill the appetite.
 
yea Ephedra does work.
Especially with Caffieine and Chromium.

I bought 2 bottles of Stacker 2 and 3 right before the ban.
Got it for like 20 bucks a bottle.

Where can I get epherdrine HCL? Does it work just as well?
 
Look on eBay for some pre-ban ephedra-containing Stacker. Pre-ban Xenadrine is way too expensive, IMHO. I'm glad I still have about a year's worth of pre-ban pills at home.

They worked wonders for sustained energy, appetite control, and mental accuity.

If you can't find an ephedra-containing supplement, the next closest thing out of all the one's I've tried is Xenadrine NRG.

It seems a little less potent than when I was taking it a few years ago, but I was a heavy tobacco smoker then, so maybe that added to its effect. http://www.affordablesupplements.com is a highly rated online store that carries it.
