In terms of supplement pills, they are good for people who lack something of importance.

I know a few of my friends who do not get their good amount of intake of all the vitaments, and minerals. I got them some natural imported pillls all from herbal sources. I took them for a while, because I wasn't eating enough of a variety - because for a time I was cooking myself (lol).

In regards to magic pills (who knows?) if one makes a successful one, be sure to let the others know, but til then the self satisfaction that you get from achieving a big goal like loosing weight is priceless and is a life-changing experience.
