I thought that was a food group, rather than a supplement?

Quality Street and Beer and you've pretty much covered all the dietary requirements. If anything, supplements could be dangerous. Unless they are top ups of quality street and/or beer.

If he seems a sensible bag of crisps, then I'll listen to him about my diet. 🙂

I saw headline that weight can go back in 4 times faster when you come off them.
Balance to be had of not making everyone feel insecure and need to be a certain shape and the duty of care to look after yourself

I know someone who is on them,  he's lost a ton of weight but they're now hooked on them as they're worried about what would happen if they did come off. He wasn't particuarly fat, quote a tall broad guy, maybe a couple of stone overweight but looked okay as he's a big guy. He looks gaunt and ill now.

If you've got a huge amount of weight to lose and are at risk of further issues then i can see why people would take them but for the person that is capable of exercise and diet it just seems a lazy way of doing it.

Yep and the modern way as Rangan C emphasises. Looking for quick fix in pills etc. 

I haven’t looked into it but isn’t just an appetite suppressant?
