Say no to diet pills

There is no quick fix if you want to lose weight.
You have to work at it.
And sometimes shortcuts can be risky:

"A Madison County coroner's jury has ruled that an apparently healthy 37-year-old woman found dead last year died of heavy metal toxicity -- and one theory is that diet pills are to blame.

She died from toxic levels of two heavy metals, cadmium and chromium, which are commonly found in some diet pills. While one expert said he found the diet pill explanation unlikely, he said diet pills can interact with some prescription medications."

The jury is still out on diet pills but ask yourself this - do you really know what you are doing to your body?
