If you're living a healthy lifestyle, then you probably don't need pills to lose weight. We know diet and exercise (with an emphasis on the diet) will yield weight loss, if it's maintained. However, that's a big if. Behavior modification is hard. There are both physiological and emotional factors that need to be addressed, and cause many attempts at weight loss to fail. The drugs are a second line treatment when behavior modification fails. (And that said, exercise is still important. Overweight or not, it has a massive impact on longevity, physical health, and mental health.)
