A few questions about weight loss
Please, only answer these questions if you really know about them. And just answer the question, don't try to persuade me into a different direction.
1. What are the best over-the-counter appetite suppressants?
2. What is better: Walking a mile, or doing 200 sit ups?
3. Can cigarettes really suppress your appetite?

I like razhies answer but want to add my 2
cents about the diet pills. They don't work.
Been there done that. They may help you lose
weight for the first week and then they stop
working. People get to where they are taking
them by the handfuls. One can cause some
people heart problems. Start adding more and
you are in big trouble. Stick with a big glass
of water before you eat and drink water while
you are eating. Same affect with no side effects. :)

1.) None are the best. As other advisors have told you, they can put at risk for immediate heart problems, what these advisors didn't tell you is that if you are a teen, they might also stunt your hearts development, exposing you to extreme risks for the rest of your lifetime. As one other advisor mentioned, the very best over-the-counter ‘appetite suppressant’ is in fact water or juice, as most people eat when they are in fact not hungry, but thirty and will find the hunger passes if they drink more.
2.) Depends what you want. If you want to loose weight, walk, or if you can, take a light jog. If you want to tone your muscles, do sits ups. A combination of both will give the best results.
3.) Smoking is a stimulant, and makes your body work harder, for less oxygen, therefore burning more calories. Of course, it would be quicker, cheaper and far more effective to take a 30 minute light jog then to light up. Jogging also doesn’t cause cancer…
There really aren’t any short cut to weight loss that don’t put your health at risk. Just do whatever had to do, walk, run, tone, eat less junk, don’t eat when you aren’t hungry and if that fails you, consult a doctor.

my only advice that i can really give is for question 3. i am overweight, and still trying new ways to lose weight my self....
as for smoking, if you are not a smoker right now, don't do it! it is an addiction that i am trying to quit now.
smoking is not really an appetite surpressant, alot of people associate boredom for hunger. when you smoke, your body is 'doing something' so it's not bored.
sweetie, don't smoke to lose weight. it's a matter of being over weight, or having cancer. seems like an easy choice when it's put that way.
next time you feel a little hungary, have a glass of water. 80% of all people are walking around dehydrated, and thirst can present itself like hunger.
good luck, and hapy new year!

1. dexatrim is a good over the counter pill. (Would I suggest it, no, because all diet pills have a tendency to make your heart rate go up, causing undue stress, one of my good friends died at the age of 26 because of phen-phen.)
2. A combination of both. A good work out routine is better. I like the exercise ball. Not only is it very productive, it is fun. I laugh all the time trying to balance on the ball.
3. I smoke, am still overweight. I have a double negative going for me. It doesn't suppress your appetite as much as people would like to claim. You just end up getting addicted to smoking and then still want to eat.
4. I know you asked for no persuasion methods, I am not trying to persuade you in any way, just use common sense first, sometimes, things aren't exactly as they seem to be. I would definitely keep a record of your heart beat if you are going to take any diet pills. If it gets to high, then stop taking them. If you are really wanting to take a diet pill, I would go to the doctor and get a check up and follow her advice above anyone elses. Who knows, an hour at the doctors office, could become the best decision you've ever made. Good Luck!
