So, you’ve probably heard about how weight loss pills can help you shed that belly fat and speed up your weight loss. But are they healthy? Are there any long-term effects?

In truth, we are all looking for a quick solution to losing weight that doesn’t require a ton of effort. This is why diets like the LCHF (low carb, high fat) is so popular. It relies on minimizing carbs without having to exercise in order to lose weight.

But when it comes to weight loss pills, there are a few things you’ll want to keep in mind before adding them to your weight loss routine.

1. Potential Heart Problems

A lot of weight loss pills and other over-the-counter ‘miracle’ cures claim to decrease your appetite, speed up your metabolism, and provide you with more energy. This is because some of these pills use stimulants that cause your heart rate to increase as well as raise your blood pressure. Misusing these pills or using them while having underlying health problems could lead to heart palpitations, heart attacks, rapid heartbeat, stroke, or seizures.

2. Digestive Problems

Your aim when taking diet pills is to lose weight, however, taking diet pills can sometimes lead to severe gastrointestinal issues. Diet pills work by reducing your body’s ability to absorb fat. Pills can cause an increase in gas, nausea, diarrhea, constipation, stomach cramps, vomiting, and other issues.

3.Insomnia

One of the best ways to fight fat is through a good diet, exercise, and plenty of sleep. However, taking diet pills can have an adverse effect on your sleeping patterns and overall quality of sleep. Most pills are chock full of energizing qualities like caffeine and guarana. Diet pills can cause not only an increased heart rate but insomniac episodes.

Poor sleep will have negative effects on all aspects of your life, especially your weight loss!

So if you’ve been considering taking weight loss pills, you’ll want to consult with your family doctor first.
