It almost seems that a new diet pill pops up nearly everyday now. Each one assures you that they have found the new secret to weight loss. You also hear that a lot of diet pills are scams and some are even being charged by the FTC. So how can you determine for yourself which diet pills are legitimate and will work for you? I've found that if you start your research focused on four areas, that you'll be able to quickly choose the right diet pill for you. These four areas are: the ingredients of the diet pill, the company that produces the diet pill, the price of the product, and the money back guarantee.
What is the one and only factor that really determines if a diet pill will actually work for you? The ingredients. Once that diet pill enters your mouth, the ingredients are the only thing that sets one pill apart from another. And while this seems like an obvious statement, I'm continually amazed at how many consumers put more importance on how convincing the infomercial is or which celebrity is endorsing the product. If you want to know if I diet pill is effective, you must research the ingredients (and the amounts of those ingredients) that are actually in the diet pill. Avoid proprietary blends which hide the amounts of the ingredients included. When researching, look for clinical studies that have been peer-reviewed and published. Go directly to the source. If the source of they study isn't cited, don't believe it. Researching ingredients really isn't that difficult, but if you want a good start, I've reviewed most of the common diet pill ingredients at Criticalorie.com to help you in your journey (and yes, I've cited all the research that I've used in my assessments).
The next thing that you should look at when choosing a diet pill is the company that is producing the product. Why is this important? How does this effect how well the diet pill will work? I'll answer with a question: Would you put something into your body that was made by someone who lied about its ingredients? Or maybe by someone who is being charged with making false claims about the results of the product? Perhaps the company is known for ripping people off by charging their credit card more than the consumer agreed to. All these things (and much more) are actually quite common in the diet pill industry. So make sure you get a good feel for the diet pill company itself. A quick search on the internet can usually give you a good idea if the company has encountered many problems or complaints (?Company Name complaints? is usually a good search).
While I'm sure that most consumers need no reminder to look at the price of a diet pill, something should be said about pricing. Its clich?, but I'll say it anyway: You (usually) get what you pay for in a diet pill. You should, however, be cautious of extremely high price tags as these are often just trying to appear more credible. Also pills that are super cheap are usually skimping on the ingredients. So as a general rule, a good diet pill will usually be in the $40 to $70 per bottle range.
As far as the money back guarantee goes, I like to see anything over 60 days. Most diet pills either don't have guarantees or they only offer a 30 day guarantee (which isn't really enough time to judge the efficacy of the diet pill). If a company doesn't stand behind their product and offer to give you your money back if it doesn't work, it's usually a good sign that the diet pill probably isn't very effective. There are certainly enough diet pills on the market to make a would-be consumer's head spin. But with a little diligent research you can effectively determine which diet pills will work for you. If you have questions about a specific product, please let me know.
