Answer on Hi I'm a 17 year old male and turning eighteen in august. am I able to use weight loss pills?
First you may have stopped growing, however, many of us stopped then started again!
I stopped for several years then had about a two year period of growth ending when I was 26.
Weight loss pills are NOT the answer! They give you a temporary water loss. They can be extremely dangerous though most people recover from their side effects soon after they regain the lost water.
Exercise really is the only sure way and that has to be coupled with a nutritious diet of frequent meals avoiding hunger.
Talk to your doctor about the whole issue and get advice that really takes into consoideration your current health and potential.
