Jump-start Fat Loss
If you carry excess body weight, the thought of meeting your long-term goals may seem daunting. You may use diet pills to "jump-start" the process. Prescription diet pills, such as orlistat, keep fat from being absorbed and digested in your body, according to MayoClinic.com, and may effectively stimulate weight loss. These effects tend to dwindle over time, however. Diet pills that block fat absorption and digestion are among the numerous medications used to help treat obesity and are available through prescription only. When used appropriately, over-the-counter diet pills may also stimulate weight loss by boosting your energy and/or motivating you to make healthy dietary changes.
