Do Diet Pills Work The Truth About Diet Pills
Many people wonder "do diet pills work?" Wouldn't it be nice if they did? Many claim that you could lose dozens of pounds a month without doing any exercise or changing your eating habits. It's easy to see why people ask this question, and why various weight loss products are so popular. But do they actually work, or is it nothing but hype and empty promises by companies pushing those products? That's a hard question to answer, as determining if a a weight loss supplement works isn't quite as cut and dry as determining if say a car works. As such I will answer this question in a rather unusual manner using a False and True format.
Do Diet Pills Work - False
Many companies producing those products make completely outrageous claims that couldn't possibly be true. Sadly they are only using such deceptive marketing tactics because that's what the buyers want to hear. People want to buy a magic pill that will allow them to reverse years if not decades of bad health habits, eating too much junk food and hardly ever working out. To appeal to those buyers companies make absurd claims, such as claiming that taking their product will allow one to drop 30 or even 60 pounds all by itself, with no need for a diet or exercise at all. People who buy weight loss products because of those claims will obviously be disappointed when the product inevitably fails to live up to the claims made by the companies promoting it.
Do Diet Pills Work - True
Weight loss supplements work, but much like their name suggests they are supplements, not a complete solution. Combining them with a good diet and exercise programme can produce much better results than the diet and exercise alone would produce. For example AcaiBurn improves weight loss by as much as 450% compared to not taking it. Obviously that's a very impressive number, and you should definitely take advantage of it to lose weight faster. But it is important to understand that you need a good foundation in the form of a good diet and work out regime. Now once you have that foundation and are losing some weight, taking AcaiBurn would greatly improve that weight loss. But it won't help you lose too many pounds if you use it without a good foundation.

My Diet Tips 
Why am I not losing weight? I'm starting to get really frustrated now. It makes me want to quit ?
I started lifting weights the last week of December 06 and I continue to lift weights three days a week.
I was on a bulking up diet so I would gain muscle and I've gained at least ten pounds of muscle.
I'm trying to lost the fat I gained so I adjusted my diet. I'm eating 1,000 calories less per day and if one pound equals 3,500 calories then I should be losing two pounds a week just from cutting calories alone.
Not only that but in my bulking up phase I did no cardio, I just lifted weights three times a week.
Now I've added cardio inbetween my lifting days. I run two miles mondays and fridays and work at least 40 minutes on the elliptical on wednesday. I do all the cardio at high intensity and I've stopped trying to lift heavier weights each workout, I only lift the same weight every week so I shouldn't be adding much if any muscle.
I don't drink alcohol, eat fast food, candy bars, chips, soda, etc.
After a month I've only lost 2 pounds. What am I doing wrong?
I understand about going through plateaus. Don't give up, you're doing yourself a lot of good. Your probably in the best shape of your life ( or at least in a long time).
You need to figure out your daily caloric intake. Go to this website and type in your stats (it's free).

You need to log everything you eat to make sure your actually eating what you think you are. You didn't give your stats and you may be pretty lean already. It's real hard to lose once you've got down to your "fighting weight".
Once you figure this out, you need to reduce your daily calories by 500 a day. Seven days or 3500 calories, is about 1 lb. If you do that while burning calories with exercise, you can lose the weight.
But...I personally don't like to worry about how much I weigh but how my clothes fit and how much body fat I have. There are 13 place son your body you can measure and get an approximate body fat %. It may not be totally accurate, but it will be consistant. Go to this site and sign up (it's free).
