I'm trying to lose weight and have been doing a lot of research about weight loss. I'm confused about the difference between diets and diet pills.

Diet pills are usually stimulants that can cause side effects such as anxiety, insomnia, headaches, and heart palpitations. They're not recommended for long-term use because they can be dangerous if used excessively or incorrectly. Diets, on the other hand, focus on eating healthy foods in smaller portions and avoiding processed and sugary foods. This can help you reach your weight loss goals safely without the risks associated with diet pills.
