5 Dangers Of Diet Pills
September 6, 2009 
Diet pills may help you drop the weight quickly, but there are several dangers of diet pills that you should know before you commit to taking them. Here are 5 dangers of diet pills:
1. Severe Side Effects
Depending on the ingredients, side effects from diet pills can range from:
- high blood pressure
- liver problems
- heart problems
- headaches
- nausea
- breathing problems
- increased heart rate
- addiction
- stomach pain
If the potential side effects are worse than the problem, you may want to consider taking the medication.
2. No Weight Loss
Many diet pills such as Chitosan, Hoodia and Chromium are listed by the Mayo Clinic as unlikely to cause to weight loss or not having enough evidence to support their claims. Many of the herbal pills have no side effects, but also have no point. Your money would be better spent on improving your nutrition and buying fitness gear.
3. Not Regulated
Any diet pills sold as health supplements are unregulated by the FDA, with the exception of some restrictions on the advertising claims. Many diet pills have been recalled after adverse effects have been experienced by consumers.
4. Vitamin Deficiency Risks
Many vitamins such as A, D, E and K are fat soluble, meaning they are digested with fat and stored in your body fat and liver. Diet pills can block the adsorption of fat, and these vitamins can he excreted from the body instead of used.
5. Digestion Problems
Fat blocking pills can cause gas with discharge, oily stools, loose stools, pains in the digestive area and other gross side effects. Proper digestion is essential, and these side effects will not feel good or healthy in any way.
These side effects are less flattering than hard work and changes to your diet. Look at your options and the side effects of your prospective diet pills, and make a choice that works for you.
