Is Phentermine right for your diet?

When the diet medication Phentermine was approved for public sale by the FDA in 1959 the reaction from those with weight problems was nothing short of obsessive. In the 51-years since that day, however, some of the shine has been lost by research into the effects of the drug.

Studies have shown that when combined with diet and exercise, Phentermine causes 10-15% greater weight loss than with those two factors alone. But the effects are only short-term. Yet millions of people all over the world return to it again and again to help them slim down.

Apart from the fact it’s only sold by prescription, the other downside of Phentermine is the health risk – it has been linked to side effects such as chest pain, extreme headaches, depression, insomnia, blurred vision and lack of breath. And in some cases even rapid weight gain.

In short, the case against the phentermine diet pill is disturbing, and if you’re taking it now, or even considering becoming a user you would be wise to do research before you commit.

Unbiased acne advice has arrived

Let’s be honest - Acne is no fun. It drains your self-confidence, and in most cases can also leave a large dent in your wallet, too. Most creams and remedies barely work – if at all – and the whole miserable experience seems to blight your whole life. For years!

It would help if just one available product presented itself as the actual, effective solution, but that’s clearly too much to ask. The best-selling treatment for most cases of acne is Proactiv. But their main competitor, acnefree does the same job, is made from the same basic recipe, and does it all for about half the price.

There’s no ‘magic bullet’ for acne – It’s nature’s way to show you’re becoming an adult, while those who insult you for the visual results are still trapped in their childhood. Do some research and you will find a way to survive…

Weight loss pills thin your wallet

What all those glossy magazine ads and TV infomercials don’t tell you is that less than 10% of all the people who use weight loss pills as part of their fitness program see even the slightest results.

But it’s not all bad news – A weight loss product that works is not just a dream. And those few that do are not all expensive. Most of those you’ll find at the health store are worthless, so do your research and be careful or you could lose more cash than pounds
