Although diet pills and other weight loss supplements are popular and widely used, they are not necessary for effective weight loss. However, when you use diet pills, they may accelerate the weight loss you'd normally experience through a reduced calorie diet and exercise plan. Unfortunately, there are so many diet pills available that finding an effective one can be difficult. You should research ingredients in diet pills and consult a doctor before using any of them to ensure safety and efficacy.

USP Labs OxyElite Pro

USP Labs OxyElite Pro is a fat burning supplement that may be effective for you, as it was named the best fat burner in the 2010 Bodybuilding.com Supplement Awards. This supplement contains stimulants, which may increase your energy levels and have the potential to promote calorie burning through an increased metabolic rate. These stimulants include caffeine, which is found in coffee and many soft drinks. However, if you have built up a tolerance to caffeine through regular use, this product may not be effective for you.

Pro Clinical Hydroxycut

Pro Clinical Hydroxycut is a popular weight loss supplement that contains ingredients that studies have shown to promote weight loss. According to the official website for Hydroxycut, studies on the main ingredients in Pro Clinical Hydroxycut found that it promoted improved weight loss compared to placebo. However, the website said that these studies were funded by the makers of the supplement, which may have introduced bias.

Nutrex Lipo 6

Nutrex Lipo 6 is a diet pill that contains a number of different stimulants to improve your energy levels and produce calorie burning. The main stimulants in Nutrex Lipo 6 are caffeine and yohimbine, although the product contains a number of non-stimulant ingredients as well. One ingredient is bioperine, which the website Supplement Data explains is a natural pepper extract that may promote increased calorie burn.

Apidexin

Apidexin is another stimulant-based diet pill that contains eight ingredients, including bioperine and the stimulant caffeine. Another important ingredient in Adipexin is evodiamine, which is extracted from evodia fruit. According to research published in the October 2001 issue of the journal "Planta Medica," evodiamine supplementation may increase calorie burning significantly, and could promote weight loss.

Phenphedrine

Phenphedrine is a diet pill that contains evodiamine, yohimbine and caffeine, among other ingredients. The supplement also includes chochamine, which is a compound that contains caffeine and amino acids.

AllMax Nutrition RapidCuts Hardcore

AllMax Nutrition RapidCuts Hardcore is a stimulant-based diet pill that contains caffeine and evodiamine as well as herbal extracts such as white willow extract, capsicum and green tea extract. According to research published in the April 2010 issue of the journal "Physiology & Behavior," combining caffeine and green tea extract may promote calorie burn and fat loss.

Universal Nutrition Animal Cuts

Universal Nutrition is a supplement company that produces a number of products intended for bodybuilders and weight lifters. Animal Cuts is a stimulant-based diet pill that combines stimulants such as caffeine, guarana and yerba mate, as well as ingredients such as as evodiamine and green tea extract.

Beverly International Lean Out

Beverly International Lean Out is a diet pill that does not contain caffeine, but may still promote weight loss and fat burning. The supplement contains vitamin B-12, the amino acid l-carnitine, betaine and choline. According to a study published in the September 2010 issue of "Molecular Biology Reports," betaine may reduce fat gain.
