Weight Loss: Exercise vs. Diet Pills - A Healthier Approach

Question
Hello. I am trying to lose weight and of course it's hard but I decided that's it's time to stick to a diet and see it through. I am about to start doing the Winsor Pilates exercise regimen and also go on a diet. Of course I plan to do the walking and the additional exercise too though but my question to you is; is it better to lose weight through exercise or weight loss pills. Even if the pills do say they are ephedra free, I still don't think I want to go that route. Thank you for your time.

Answer
No contest, it is better to lose weight through regular exercise and calorie "consciousness".  Without changing your diet or activity level, the diet pills may not work, and even if they do, at what point do you stop them?  If you do stop them, and haven't made the lifestyle changes necessary for better health, you'll gain the weight back.  Unfortunately, in my opinion, there is no "easy" way to lose weight in a lasting, long term manner. You are on the right track with regular exercise and moderation.
