What to Know Before You Buy a Diet Pill
With so many diet pills on the market today, with each one claiming to be the new #1 weight loss supplement, how can you possibly sort through all the garbage and choose a diet pill that will actually work for you? When I started reviewing diet pills on my website (Criticalorie.com) over a year ago, I asked myself that same question. Over time, however, I found that it is actually quite easy to discern between the junk and gems if you know what to look for. When choosing a diet pill, you should always take special note of the diet pill’s ingredients, the company behind the product, the price of the pills, and the money back guarantee.
The first thing that I look at when reviewing diet pills is the expected effectiveness of the diet pill itself. You can do this by researching the ingredients in the pill to see if they have been proven in clinical studies (from a third party that is published in a peer-reviewed medical journal or something similar). Don’t believe in-house studies or claims made by the diet pill if they don’t cite the source of such studies (and most don’t). And even if they cite it, go and find it yourself?diet pill companies are good at twisting results around to their benefit. You also need to make sure that they include the good ingredients at the right amounts (this means in the amounts that were shown to be effective in the clinical studies). Many pills have proprietary blends in which they do not disclose how much of each ingredient is in the pill. Avoid these as they usually don’t have the right amounts. The ingredients are what makes the diet pill effective or not. No matter how much fancy marketing they have, if the ingredients don’t show it, it just won’t work.
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).
An obvious, but overlooked aspect of the diet pill is the price. Some people look for the cheapest thing that they can find, while others think that the more they spend, the better the product must be. My suggestion is to find the middle road. Cheap pills usually don’t have the best ingredients (or enough to do any good) and ridiculously expensive pills are usually just ripping you off. A good diet pill will usually cost around $40 to $70 per bottle. You’ll find occasional good deals or products that may be a bit lower, but it’s rare.
A quality diet pill will almost always have a good money back guarantee. A ?good’ guarantee is anything more than 60 days (I actually prefer to see 90 days to a lifetime guarantee). Anything less that this doesn’t give you enough time to effectively judge how effective the product is. The company bank on the fact that you probably won’t want to return the product until after the short guarantee is already up. With all the different diet pill on the market, it can be difficult to weed through them to find the ones that will actually be effective at helping you lose weight. But with these guidelines and a little time and research you should be able to narrow them down rather quickly.
