Yeah, it's called Tapeworm-in-a-capsul.
Look there are no short cuts. Just do it right. Exercise and cut your calories.
The minimum number of calories a woman should consume is 1200. That is for a completely sedentary lifestyle. If your more active, you need more calories--even if you're dieting. Basically, you need to provide your body with enough calories to maintain your ideal weight for your given activity level. Too many calories and you gain weight. Too few, and your body goes into starvation mode, hording fat and calories, preventing you from losing weight. There is a formula I used that I got from WebMD: Evaluate your metabolism from 13-15, 13 being the slowest. Multiply that number by your ideal weight. The resultant figure is the number of calories you should take in per day.
No low-carb bologna, either. But, do stay away from un-natural sources of sugar(i.e.: corn syrup, cane sugar--fruit, as a nutural source, for example, is acceptable), white flour, saturated and trans fat. It is also good to avoid foods where sugar is listed in the first three ingridients. Note: CORN HAS NO NUTRITIONAL VALUE. Popcorn diet = malnutrition.
A certain percentage of your calories should come from all three sources: protein, carbohydrates and fats. Try a mix of 40%Protein, 40% Carb and 20% fat.
Get a balanced exercise routine. Muscle builds fat and cardio burns calories. Exercise a hour before any meals.
NO energy drinks. Calories are energy. You want your body to burn the energy stored around your wastline, not what you just drank in.
Drink at least 64 oz of water per day.
Eat lots of smaller meals instead of 3 squares.
BTW, I was 230lbs and, on my own, lost weight and got down to 125 lbs and 11% body fat.
I'll edit this and give more info later. Have to shut down the computer due to thunderstorms.

No they don't work
You need a natural, nutritionally balanced approach to weight loss. A low glycemic diet, moderate exercise, and nutritional supplements. Diet pills and diets in general are unnatural and rob your body of things it need. When the weight loss is over and you stop the diet or the pills, you almost certainly will gain back the weight if not more.
