text: If diet pills worked, there would be no fat people around.  NO..don't waste your money.  Just by increasing your activity moderately (like 3 times a week) by walking with a partner or on the beach, riding a bike will help.  Spurts like jogging for a few minutes while walking, will help you burn more calories.\n\nStay on a moderate Exchange Diet (look it up) and drop any fast foods, processed foods, "white" carbohydrates.  You will also want to watch your calorie intake.  You can lose 2-3 lbs. a week on a 1000-1200 cal diet.\n\nIncrease your fluids and lay off of the sodas.  Good Luck.
