Hi,

While most of these products are safe to take, they do not guarantee that you would not put on this weight while you have stopped taking them. The best way to have durable and long lasting weight loss is by adopting diet, lifestyle and regular exercises that can accompany you all your life and not drugs that are used just for a while.

I hope this helps. I wish you well.
