It certainly does. Like many women I spent a good deal of my late teens and early twenties on some trendy diet or another and thinking back now, and looking at photos of myself as I was then, I wonder why on earth I thought I ever needed to. Okay, I am a good deal slimmer now even after having had five kids (my figure is better now than it was when I was twenty!) but I have found that has come from simply keeping on the move and eating sensibly.

To be honest though I did try diet pills on one occasion and that was enough for me. I spent two days on the loo and did not sleep for 48 hours – my pupils were dilated as though I had ingested several litres of strong black coffee, I had the shakes and felt generally revolting. I threw the bottle of pills down the loo (where in the course of things they would have ended up anyway).

But I suppose no matter how much I highlight the cons of taking diet pills many of you would still be determined to try them out; if so then take advantage of those sites which review the various diet pills available online today. For instance, one of the most popular brands is Phentermine, but beyond the good stuff you read about this drug what else do you know about it and how do past users rate it?

You might be surprised. Follow that link and see for yourself – publicity speaks one language, people who have actually tried it speak another. At least you can check it out, as well as the alternatives, and make up your own mind.
