Are you feeling as though you have tried everything to shift that stubborn weight? If, like many people, you’re finding that the super-market supplements aren’t working, or the over-the-counter weight loss pills don’t seem to help, you may feel at a loss for what to try next. It’s no wonder that now you’re asking whether there are any weight loss pills that can actually help you lose weight and keep it off!
Luckily, here at Bodyline we may have the answer for you. With 17 years of experience prescribing medical weight loss treatments for those struggling with their weight, we are experts in finding the right solution to losing stubborn fat and changing your approach to weight loss for the better.
Not all weight loss pills are created equal, and many fail to deliver the promised results. That’s why we’ll help you explore why non-prescription weight loss supplements can sometimes fail to work and highlight the medical weight loss treatments that have shown effectiveness here at Bodyline.
Why Can Weight Loss Supplements Fail to Work?
Weight loss supplements, often marketed as “miracle pills,” promise quick and effortless weight loss. However, the reality is that weight loss is a complex process that requires an approach from multiple angles. While some supplements may contain ingredients that can potentially aid in weight loss, they are not a magic solution on their own.
One of the most common reasons weight loss supplements can fail to work is when they are taken without any changes to lifestyle habits. Simply relying on a pill without addressing underlying factors such as diet, exercise, and overall lifestyle choices is unlikely to result in sustainable weight loss.
The reality is: weight loss is best achieved when we are eating fewer calories than we burn, also known as being in a calorie deficit. This allows the body to burn the calories we have stored in the form of fat instead. Weight loss pills, supplements, and even injections cannot produce a calorie deficit on their own – it must be done by you.
Plus, it’s vital to remember that each person’s body is unique, and what works for one individual may not work for another. Weight loss is never a ‘one size fits all’ approach, instead it must be tackled holistically, meaning personal to everyone based on their lifestyles. Remember, factors such as genetics, metabolism, and overall health can influence your weight, and therefore how you can lose weight.

Weight Loss Pills That Work: Phentermine
Phentermine is a prescription weight loss medication and stimulant that works by suppressing hunger signals via the appetite centre of our brains, which works to curb cravings and make us feel fuller following mealtimes. It is used as a short-term treatment for obesity, taken in three-month bursts in combination with a reduced-calorie diet and exercise.
Phentermine is only available with a prescription from a registered clinician like us here at Bodyline and should always be used under the guidance and supervision of a healthcare professional. Some people are not eligible for phentermine based on their medical history. Regular monitoring and follow-up appointments are essential to ensure its safe and appropriate use.
At Bodyline, we prescribe, supply, and support our clients throughout their phentermine journey, helping them achieve successful weight loss in our clinics and remotely across the UK.
Phentermine comes in the form of a pink pill to be taken daily and is prescribed to individuals with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher, or for those with a BMI of 27 or higher and at least one weight-related medical condition.
The pill can be an effective tool in jump-starting weight loss efforts, especially when combined with lifestyle changes. Studies show short-term phentermine use can result in significant weight loss, with individuals losing on average around 9% of their starting weight in 14-weeks.
Weight Loss Pills That Work: Diethylpropion
Diethylpropion is another prescription weight loss pill that can be prescribed for short-term use. Like Phentermine, Diethylpropion acts as an appetite suppressant; affecting certain chemicals in the brain that control appetite and food cravings, allowing users not to overeat and remain in a calorie deficit. Diethylpropion is typically prescribed for individuals with a BMI of 30 or higher, or for those with a BMI of 27 or higher and at least one weight-related medical condition.
Diethylpropion can help individuals control their calorie intake and make healthier food choices. Like Phentermine, it is important to use Diethylpropion under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Regular check-ups and close monitoring are necessary to ensure its safe and effective use.
The pill is also proven to work very effectively, with studies reporting a 9.8% average weight loss in 6 months. We have treated tens of thousands of clients with diethylpropion and have seen many lose 1 stone a month!
The Importance of Support for Successful Weight Loss
Dr. Graham Brown, our Head of Clinical Teams says,
“While Phentermine and Diethylpropion can be effective tools in weight loss, they are most successful when used in conjunction with safe and comprehensive support. Weight loss is not just about taking a pill; it requires a holistic approach that addresses underlying lifestyle habits and behaviours. Thanks to our wonderful nursing team, we can ensure full support on your personalised weight loss journey.”
Pills like these can significantly help weight loss, but without total lifestyle changes they cannot produce the results you require to be healthier and happier.
Having a supported programme can significantly increase the chances of successful weight loss, such as the support offered at Bodyline Clinic, as we specialise in medically supervised weight loss programmes. Our specialist weight loss nurses can provide guidance, monitor progress, and offer personalized recommendations based on your needs.
Support also plays a crucial role in keeping you motivated and accountable. It provides a safe space to discuss challenges, celebrate successes, and receive guidance on making sustainable lifestyle changes. Additionally, our support can help you navigate any potential side effects or concerns that may arise during your weight loss journey.
