Hello,
I have to tell you that there is no alternative to healthy diet and exercise for losing weight in a healthy way.
Diet pills work for short term and cause serious side effects in the long run. Even if you are working and don't have much time you can still eat healthy and lose weight.
Just cut down on carbs and sugar and processed foods. Eat small portion s at regular intervals.
Substitute your Snack with fruits and sprouts and salads. Simple steps like using steps instead of lift, walking at least 30 mins in a day and getting enough sleep will help you to lose weight.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Nazma Amman
