Can diet pills help you lose weight? Chances are you already have an opinion on this topic. Perhaps you have tried them and it worked great for you but more likely you've tried them and they did no work. And while I know it is impossible to change anyone's opinion on a topic they are passionate about (and if you are over weight then I am sure diet pills definitely qualify as such a topic.) But I thought I can offer a different perspective on this subject, and you might be interested in it. Who knows, it may even change the way you look at diet pills!
Many people feel that diet pills do not work. This of course depends on how one defines "work" but I'll get to that later. First I'd like to focus on what makes people upset the most- that the results don't meet their expectations. This is actually due to a sad and at the same time ironic fact that diet pill companies have a catch 22 situation in front of them. On one hand if they advertise with modest but real claims of weight loss their product won't sell as much as if they've made some completely outlandish claims about insane weight loss results. On the other hand if they make such outlandish claims, the product will inevitably fail to live up to people's expectations.
Since drug companies are there to make money and a good disclaimer and a few lawyers is all they need to cover themselves from complaints about deceptive marketing most companies choose to make insane claims about how well their product works. This of course results in many people getting upset. But it doesn't mean that diet pills don't work, it just means that in most cases they don't work quite as well as the ads would make you think.
