1, the problem of diet pills
A recent experimental study by Lisa Bolton, a professor at Pennsylvania State University in the United States, shows that dieters who take diet pills usually eat more than usual. They mistakenly regard diet pills as the key to lifting the ban and think that with diet pills, they can eat any food they want without doing any exercise.
In this experimental study, 600 volunteers were invited, and each volunteer was given a pile of selected chocolate biscuits, some of which were labeled as low-calorie while others were not. Half of the volunteers watched an advertisement for a new powerful diet pill before they got chocolate biscuits. As a result of the experiment, the volunteers who watched the advertisements of diet pills ate as many as 30 biscuits on average, and the fatter the biscuits, the more popular they were. Professor Bolton said that dieters regard diet pills as a kind of "compensation" for unreasonable diet and exercise, and think that diet pills can replace a healthy lifestyle to keep healthy: "Since diet pills can help us control our weight, why should we insist on exercising and controlling our diet?" Therefore, the more obese patients, the more they regard diet pills as a savior, and the more unhealthy food they eat. However, all these are actually misguided advertisements of diet pills. As long as dieters can clearly understand the trap of current advertisements for diet pills, they will naturally reduce their false expectations of diet pills and then restore a healthy lifestyle.
Although the market of slimming products is very prosperous at present, the proportion of obese patients is still rising. Professor Bolton called on policy makers and marketers to take more remedial measures in marketing to minimize the harm caused by diet pills to consumers.
2, the harm of diet pills to lose weight
Diet pills are not health products. As a medicine, it has certain side effects and adverse reactions. People who want to lose weight through diet pills must take them for a long time to produce slimming effect. However, long-term consumption of diet pills will cause gastrointestinal dysfunction, easily lead to indigestion, and even trigger a series of gastrointestinal diseases. Some diet pills are even harmful to the human body, such as diuretic ingredients in diet pills. If you take it for a long time, it will lead to renal function degradation. Women taking diet pills can also lead to infertility, which is very bad for every woman and will become a lifelong regret.

If you feel too excited after taking diet pills and can't sleep at night, you should be alert that your medicine may contain amphetamine-type drugs. At first, the effect of losing weight may be obvious, but with the emergence of drug resistance, symptoms such as emotional instability, delusions, hallucinations and sleep disorders will begin to appear. Moreover, amphetamines are as addictive as drugs. Once addicted, the process of withdrawal is very painful, and even symptoms such as anxiety, depression, fatigue, drowsiness and overeating may appear. Experts suggest that this medicine should never be taken easily.
Drugs are toxic in three ways. As long as drugs are harmful to people's health, if you want to lose weight, you should follow a green diet, start with diet and exercise, burn body fat by sitting less and exercising more, drink more water and eat more fruits and vegetables and coarse grains rich in fiber in your diet, and promote your metabolism.
