I want to get toned..I'm not over weight..but I basically still have my baby fat. In my sthomach, and on my sides. I want to get rid of it, cause here in March, I'm going to prom..and I want to look good in the summer for bathing suit season.
My mom has some relacore pills..and she said that she didnt care if I took them..but..they say to not take them if your under the age of 18. I've read the effect's on the pill..but..what is the risk that those effect's will happen?
Would it be a bad thing if I took the pill? I mean..could I get sick..or addicted or something?
If I did take the pill..I would want to make sure that it's safe. I dont want anything bad to happen.
Thank's for all your help!

Besmart answered Wednesday February 18 2009, 11:55 am: Diet pills are about equal to crystal meth...they are extremely unhealthy and if you have an undiagnosed heart problem they will kill you. Yep that being said excersize and diet are pretty much the only thing that will get you skinny so find some sport or go to the gym and start excersizing! If you find it really boring bring a magazine and your ipod it really helps. Oh and healthy diets only, don't starve yourself cause that will just make u fatter in the end(your body goes into starvation mode and all your food is stored as fat plus u will be miserable and have no boobs). Good luck! [ Besmart's advice column | Ask Besmart A Question ]

Like many fat burner pills, Relacore has been advertised with exaggerated claims and you should keep this in mind at all times. Weight-loss products that promise a lot tend to deliver significantly less. Always remember: "If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is."
Make a search on the net and you will find these complaints from people who have taken Relacore. The most common side effects reported are:
Heart Palpitations
Weight Gain in a few cases
Headaches and nausea
Dizziness
Drowsiness
Blood Pressure Fluctuation
Blurred Vision
Headaches
Relacore cannot make you toned at all. Relacore does not build muscles--muscle is what makes you toned and firm. What you're searching for is moderate exercise. The only way people actually become trim, tone, and firm is with exercise. If you do not have the muscle underneath the "baby fat" then you're going to be a little saggy with the excess skin even.
At your age, you shouldn't be taking diet pills because your body is still adjusting to puberty and the new growth you are experiencing. This being said, the best thing you can do for your body is supply it with the right type of vitamins (start with a daily multi-vitamin), get enough healthy foods in your body, drink enough water to stay hydrated, and EXERCISE! :) (and, yes, exercise can very well be fun--this coming from a fat girl)
Diet pills tend to become addictive, if not physically addictive the mentally. People tend to believe that their "good looks" come from the diet pill and without them they will bloat up into some disgusting monster. What's sad is that most people who have this problem don't even realize it. They are mentally addicted to taking the pill because they are afraid that if they don't then everything will suddenly "reverse" and they will be huge.
Personally, if I were you, I'd join a gym (hey, Curves for Women is wonderful) and start the right way. Getting the mindset that a diet pill is going to make you more attractive is not the way you want to enter adulthood, definately. You want the right ways, right? With health. With good diet. With a moderate amount of healthy exercise.
Be smart and skip the diet pills altogether. It may sound like a quick-fix but, in the long-run, it just isn't.
Lastly, referring back to the side effects that some people have reported--do you REALLY want to take something that could possible make your heart go crazy? Probably not.
What's sad is that a lot of the side effects people are reporting are good indications of something majorly wrong that is happening--even a headache can be the underlying symptom of some very serious developing conditions!
Please, be wise and start out the healthy way and you'll thank yourself later on. If you have any more questions please feel free to ask me! :) [ Peeps's advice column | Ask Peeps A Question ]
