slimming pills are to be used only by a highly motivated person under medical advice and who is willing to exercise and regulate food intake as well. There are relatively safer pills available nowadays, but may cause only upto 5-10% reduction in body weight. A few side effects are hepatits, pulmonary edema (lung damage) etc. and you will have to be monitored regularly for this.

Slimming pills are not usually advisable as they cause some side effects.They must be taken only after consulting a doctor and if they are prescribed by him.Do regular exercises and avoid taking high calorie foods like fry foods,sweets,ice creams and junk foods.It will help you to reduce your weight.

No i think its tempory if people dont follow the same routine then they will very soon acquire the lost weight . Exercises like brisk walking, jogging, playing out door games etc help to reduce weight.
Exerting physically like doing house hold works, walking to distant places to bring groceries, vegetables etc, walking long distances to bring the child back from school, walking to working place, climbing stairs etc are types of physical exertion. Exerting physically as much as you can help to burn more calories. Mental exertion like worrying or involving in finding solutions to problems also restrict food consumption in some and there by reduces the intake of calories

Hi sliming pills may give you temporary results of weight loss. But they have lots of side effects and they are harmful. The best way to reduce extra weight is through balanced diet and exercise. Eat low fat, low calorie diet. Include variety of low fat foods in the diet. Include green leafy veggies, fruits, salads, nuts, low fat milk, and low fat paneer. Avoid oily, fatty, junk and processed foods. Drink plenty of water. Do aerobic exercises (walking/cycling/swimming) to burn extra calories and a weight training workout to help tighten and strengthen the muscles. Do brisk walking, cycling or swimming for 30 minutes thrice a week. On alternate days perform weight training exercises. Focus on abdominal crunches, sit ups and also do variations in these. For a detailed exercise schedule consult a fitness trainer. Losing 2 to 3 kgs per month is advisable and it’s healthy too!
