Wow! There are MAGIC pills out there that will burn up body fat while you are SLEEPING! You can eat all you want of whatever you want, take a pill, go to sleep, and the fat all gets burned up. Is THAT amazing or what? Amazing, yes; true, not so much.
The world has been waiting for that magic pill that could be taken once daily that would cause us to be able to eat the entire chocolate cake and a gallon of ice cream without gaining a single pound. Maybe someday, somebody will invent such a wonderful little pill; but so far, it does not exist.
A magical fat-burning diet pill doesn't really exist, but that doesn't stop advertisers from trying to convince you that it does and charging you dearly to find out that they lied to you.
There is only one thing that really produces weight loss; eating fewer calories than you burn. And there are only two ways to achieve that goal; eat less, and exercise more. It isn't painless, but it is rewarding, and it WILL make you look better and feel better about yourself. Sadly, there is no pill that can do the trick for you.
There are lots of diet pills out there. Many of them promise to suppress your appetite and give you more energy at the same time. And, I must admit that there are pills that can do just that. I also must warn you that the drugs that are in these appetite-suppressing pills can actually do you more harm than good. The pills themselves don't cause weight loss. Eating less and exercising more causes weight loss, and those appetite-suppressant pills will only make you fidgety and nervous. They will not CAUSE you to lose one pound.
We are all eagerly awaiting the discovery of that magic pill that will allow us to eat all we want without gaining a single ounce. Maybe someday; for now, it's diet and exercise.

BONUS : Diets and Serving Sizes
The numbers of calories, carbs, and fat grams that are in a food all are dependent upon the size of the portion of that food. For example, the label on a can of corn might tell you that there are 83 calories, 0.5 grams of fat, and 20.4 grams of carbohydrates in one serving. Those numbers are for one SERVING not for the entire can.
If you look at the very top of the label, you'll find the information about the serving size the numbers relate to. In the case of the canned corn, you'll see that those 83 calories, 0.5 grams of fat, and 20.4 grams of carbohydrates are in a ½-cup serving. And those numbers apply only if you don't add anything to the corn like butter, for example.
Managing portion sizes is one of the most difficult parts of dieting for the purpose of losing weight. If you just put a serving of corn on your dinner plate without measuring it, it's almost a certainty that the serving will NOT be ½ cup.
The same thing is true about serving sizes of meat. Most calorie, carb, and fat numbers are given for a four-ounce serving. A four-ounce serving of meat is probably about half the size that you'd guess it would be. And the calorie, carb, and fat numbers given are ONLY for the meat. They don't include anything you might add to the meat during or after the cooking process.
Accurately counting calories, carbs, or fat grams can be done only if serving sizes are weighed and measured. You need a set of measuring cups, and you need a food scale. Measuring cups and a food scale are necessary tools for successful dieting to lose weight. You can't guess; you MUST measure!
