I Am about to start taking diet pills after trying to diet for the last 2 years and being unsuccessful. Would taking diet pills decrease my chances of ever becoming a mam? If so I will NOT take the pills.
Also I am on antibiotics: Flucloxacillin and If I do take these diet pills, will the antibiots stop the diet pills working?
Thank you.
Answer:
Diet pills are associated with heart or organ damage. Not associated with infertility. Antibiotics generally have no effect on diet pills.
My suggestion is to get a medical workup as well as a COMPLETE log of what you eat over two weeks (that includes measuring your portions). Determine if you have a medical problem or not. I had a terrible time trying to lose weight, so I get it.
Also, try following something closer to a low carb diet. Eliminating or severely reducing starchy foods (such as potatoes, rice and pasta) and flour products really does make a difference over time. Most lower calorie foods simply replace the fat with sugar, which doesn’t help.
You should talk to your doctor before starting diet pills. There are many kinds and there are a variety of problems and side effects that go with them. A perfect body doesn’t come in a bottle. If it did everyone would have one. I’ve never heard of diet pills effecting your fertility but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible. Most diet pills are full of caffeine and many do not work. To lose weight you must burn more calories than you consume. You need to eat right AND exercise. There is No easy way out. Most diet pills that do work you will find when you stop taking them you gain all the weight back and twice as fast as you lost it. You shouldn’t lose more than 2 pounds a week. Weight loss faster than that is unhealthy.
