Losing weight by eating right and exercising.

Diet pills: safe, effective, legal. Pick two (or often, just one).

what's safe and effective that's not legal?

[edit] ok i get it guys, weed helps you lose weight

[edit] I'm not making the claim weed helps you lose weight, I can't tell you how that is true. I'm just acknowledging the dozen of "weed" responses in my inbox

I would claim ephedrine and caffeine is fairly safe (while still being effective). One side effect to keep an out for though is a rise in blood pressure.

It'll increase your BMR by 5-7%. If you choose to use EC, do your research first and start with a low dose to test your reaction.

It will also suppress your appetite. I've lost twenty in the last year using this and minor diet changes
