Contrary to common belief, no so-called diets will help. Change the way of life you lead and you will feel better - your body will change with it. Animal products contain a lot of fat, so try without them (you'll have better skin too). Sugar is far less fattening, but of course if its really a lot it will too. Might not sound too helpful, but if there was the "right pill" you'd just have to swallow there wouldn't be anyone overweight left. I gain weight if I'm somewhat bored - do anything but don't get stuck in front of the TV (they're lying 90% of the time anyway). Cheers, Norm
If you eat a high fiber diet, you'll get fuller faster, so you won't have a desire to eat as much. Also, the fiber will bind with toxins to remove impurities from your system. So eat your fruits, nuts, grains, and veggies! :P :)

Counsuls on Diet and Foods
Over the counter weight loss pills tend not to have anything you cannot get for less money. Do not waste your money on "detox" pills or plans.
Here is a simple plan, and the rest of my explanation tells why:
A cup of coffee or two in the morning, another cup in the early afternoon.
NO SUGAR drinks. If you drink soda with sugar, you can probably lose ten pounds if you just switch to sugar free.
Try not to eat junk. You may break down and eat a fast food hamburger, but don't eat fries, or pie. Hamburger at least has protein in it.
Caffeine, which is an important ingredient in these pills is easily available in coffee or tea. Another ingredien in one expensive pill that I used to see an advertisemen for on televsion is fiber. Fiber will make you feel full, so you won't want to eat more. Buy a box of Fiber One cereal, low carb past, or Lean Pockets Ultra (not regular lean pockets.) These all usually have a lot of fiber in them.
Your body makes fat in two main places: the liver and the fat cells, but mostly in the liver. There are two important hormones involved in weight loss: insulin and glucagon (growth hormone also has some effects, and I will get to those in a minute). The levels of these two homrones in your blood changes with blood sugar levels; this is the theoretical basis for low-carb diets. When blood sugar is high, the pancreas produces insulin, which does the following:
promotes manufacture of fat
promotes fat cells to take up fats from elsewhere
inhibts the use of fat as fuel source.
When your blood sugar decreases, glucagon is released, which does the opposite of Insulin. It promotes fat burning and promotes fat cells to release fatty acids to the blood stream so that they can be used by muscle. Caffeine prolongs the effects of glucagon (i.e. it will promote fat burning) by inhibiting an enzyme called phosphodiesterase.
Growth Homrone also promotes fat loss and muscle growth. The more muscle you have, the more fat you burn even while lying in bed. Growth Hormone is generally released at night when ou sleep, but your body does not release it at the same time that it is releasing insulin. This is why you should not have a big meal before bed; it will cause your body to make fat and also prevent it from releasing growth hormone. Alcohol also maintains high insulin levels while you sleep and low growth hormone levels.
As for detox and other crap; I am a big fan of natural medicine, but I only like natural medicine that science shows effective. (Like use of some traditional chinese medicines and ayurvedic medicines.) Detoxifiers usuallyccost a lot, and there is no scientific basis for it. People believe in this, because they are naive. It is amazing that detox plans talk so much about toxins, without ever naming a specific toxin, and without ever explaining a specific mechanism for the detox actions.
