text: all diet pills are bad? i'm 16 and i'm supposed to on a diet...and i don't know where to start. i've exercised...hell i'm a swimmer and yet...i'm still chubby.  i don't know what kind of diets to go on...detox, south beach; i don't have any idea what would be good.  and i wanted to take the diet pills too...but my aunt says they all are not good...but she's a nutritionist so... i was just wondering if they’re where any kinds of things i could do. you should speak to your doctor. he/she can set you up with a nutrionalist who can advise you the best diet for your body type and current lifestyle. also, the diet pills will only work correctly if used with proper diet & excersice. they are very easily missused, but they themselves are not "bad", just the missuse is.
