Diet pills don't change eating habitsThe lure of diet pills has always been their ability to suppress appetite. It seems so simple; take a pill, stifle your appetite, lose weight.
But the problem is that the minute you stop taking diet pills your appetite returns in full force and you've done nothing to change the behaviors that caused you to gain weight in the first place. Any weight that you lost while taking the pills creeps (or leaps) right back on.
The temporary suppression of appetite with pills can also be dangerous. In some instances diet pills have caused permanent health problems and even death.

"Effective appetite control strategies should help curb your appetite without negative side-effects and should also assist you in changing the eating habits that cause weight gain," says Pat Fiducia MFT, one of CalorieKing's weight-loss experts.
Read on for Pat's best tips on effective appetite control.
