Have you seen this ad? Tried it? does it work?

Ketosis1 said: "Okay, late night I see an add saying something like: "When is a diet pill worth $130 a bottle . . . " Goes on to say "this is not for you if you only need to lose 15 pounds" I thought it was going to be one of those Geiko commecials (like the couple in the house "built too small"). Anyone out there try this at all? Would it help to add it to my Atkins diet? I'm not concerned about the cost of this (easily affordable for me) - but . . . does it work? Any insight appreciated!"

determinedtolose said: "With most diet pills...if you read on the instructions they give you, it will give you menu plans to follow and or suggestions of how you should eat and exercise. They will even say money back guarantee. Well...I believe if you follow the diet plan and exercise...you will lose weight. Now whether the pills helped...who knows for sure. So I say...just follow a good diet and exercise plan and you will succeed."

shrkntz said: "I have tried them and it was a temporary loss. The weight would come back once I stopped taking them. I think that if you just take the longer, healthier route, your body won't suffer the long term affects from taking them. Some have caffeine, and other stimulants as well as stomach numbing agents. They can also be very addictive and cause you not to feel hungry many of the times you should eat."

Heather said: "Diet pills have been around forever. I'm not sure what commercial you are talking about, though. Most of them are to help boost your metabolism and decrease your appetite. But you have to eat right and exercise to see results."

theirmom said: "If there is a magic pill I do not think any of us would be trying now to lose weight...I am sure it might work for some people since someone is buying it but I always go with "if it sounds too easy then it won't work"" cause if it did we would not be a country of overweight people!! (just my opion of the magic pills) Not to say during work out I don't wish there was a magic pill :o"
