Which Diet Pills Really Work?

With summer here, many of my friends have been talking about one thing: losing weight. As we started talking about all the different diet plans out there, one friend asked, "Why diet, when you can just pop a diet pill?" Is it really that easy? Being completely naive about diet pills and diet supplements, I decided to pull a list of the top searched diet pills to find out what all the hype was about.

I can see why Alli made it to the top of the list. According to their customer testimonials, this pill, along with diet and exercise, can increase weight loss up to 50 percent. However, Alli is known to have some nasty side effects as well. According to their website, you will pass something "that looks like the oil on top of a pizza" out your body. Are the benefits worth the costs? Find out more at AOL Body.

Did you know phentermine received FDA approval back in 1959? It's still the top searched diet pill today. It's strange to think people have been using phentermine for so long.

I have to say, I'm a little skeptical of all these miracle pills. There are so many diet pills that out there that I question how safe they really are. Some of these diet pills I have actually heard of like Hoodia and Hydroxycut. But what exactly are Meridia and Lipovox?

Yes, popping a diet pill does sound much easier than counting your calories or exercising, but do they really work? Have you tried any of these diet pills? And if so, what worked for you? Try searching for diet pills on AOL Search. Or, if diet pills aren't your thing, you can check out AOL Body for weight loss tips.

Saving for the Future?

It's never too early to start thinking about your retirement plans. After I graduated college my parents kept nudging me to start my retirement savings and I finally took their advice. Now I'm finding out that an IRA and Social Security alone might not be enough.

For those of us who aspire to retire wealthy, and even better, wealthy and early, there are many financial planning options that'll help us meet our goals. The three options AOL users are searching for most are, as you can see from the list below, stocks, 401(k) and mutual funds.

A recent article in Money Magazine shows a comparison of retirement planning at different ages. They calculate how much money you'll have at age 65 if you contribute 10 percent to your 401(k) beginning at 30, 35 or 45, with a starting salary of $40,000 and a 4 percent annual raise. They estimate that the 30-year-old will have $1 million while the 45-year-old will have $461,000 (a great reason to start your retirement savings as soon as you can).

Do you have any advice on saving for an early retirement? For more information on retirement planning, go to AOL Money and Finance. Also search for retirement savings on AOL Search.

Searching For a New Mattress?

After having the same Sealy mattress for over 10 years, I discovered that it might be time to break down and buy a new mattress. The first clue was when I started tossing and turning all night long and couldn't get a good night's sleep. The second clue was when I held on to the edge of the mattress so I wouldn't roll toward the sunken part. So, now that I've decided I need a new king-size mattress, how can I find the perfect one?

My mattress-buying outing was a little stressful. As I walked into the store filled with beds, I was quickly approached by a sales rep. Then the questions started rolling: Are you looking for a firm, soft, posturepedic, pillow top mattress? How many springs, coils and wire gauges would you like it to have, or are you looking for a latex mattress? Do you prefer a Fleetwood, Simmons or Spring? At that point I was so overwhelmed.

For a quick second I thought about going home and doing some research. But since I just want something comfortable that will give me a good night's sleep, I figured my best bet was to try some out. So I lay down on about 20 mattresses and started testing them out. I really enjoyed the viscoelastic and tempurpedic mattresses. Both were very relaxing. I can see why the memory foam mattress made it to the top of our list. The mattress actually conforms to your body and reduces pressure points, which is extremely comfortable but more expensive than spring mattresses.

I had to try a Hastens Mattress to find out what all the hype was about. It's actually handmade to each customer's specific wishes and uses all-natural horsehair, cotton, linen and wool. But at $50K a mattress it was easy to say 'No thanks!' Then I lay on a Serta pillowtop mattress and it was like lying on millions of cotton balls – super comfortable. Sold ... no further convincing needed! Now with my new mattress and mattress cover, I always have a good night's sleep.

Searching for Teeth Whitening Products?

For a few years now I have been thinking about getting my teeth whitened. What usually prevents me from following through is that my teeth are very sensitive and the cost for this type of cosmetic dentistry is quite expensive.

Professional teeth bleaching treatments usually start around $500 and are not covered by dental insurance. I know there are other teeth whitening products out there that are cheaper, but I wonder if they really work.

After doing some research it seems that Celebrity Sexy Teeth, BriteSmile and GO SMILE have received the best reviews for teeth whiteners. Celebrity Sexy Teeth was highly ranked by consumers for the following reasons: it's easy to use, very effective and does not cause tooth sensitivity. As far as cost, a 30-day supply will run you around $50, which is a lot cheaper than cosmetic dentistry.

What Do You Do to Stay Beautiful?

A girlfriend of mine has been getting VelaSmooth Cellulite Reduction treatments on her thighs and buttocks for about a year now. She has had about 8 sessions so far and is really happy with the results, but she does complain about the pain and every session leaves her bruised for days. I'm amazed that such great results can come from a procedure simple enough to be done at a medical spa.

Her great results have inspired me to look into some medical spa treatments, especially since I am going on a cruise this December and getting rid of a little bit of cellulite wouldn't hurt before I squeeze into my bathingsuit. I would never get plastic surgery, but the options available at medical spas seem like simple ways to stay beautiful as you age. Of course, it is always painful (both to the body and to the bank account) to be beautiful.

I did some research and found that there are several medical spa treatments available. Treatments can reduce cellulite, remove unwanted hair, smooth frown lines and wrinkles, repair sun damaged skin or acne scars, remove spider veins and to reshape droopy eyelids.

The most popular medical spa treatments among our users include laser hair removal, botox injections and microdermabrasion. Other popular treatments include chemical peels, collagen injections and mesotherapy treatment.

Which Pharmacy Do You Prefer?

I remember as a child walking with my grandmother to our town drugstore to pick up her prescription. Times have definitely changed! Now you're able to fill your prescriptions in grocery stores, retail stores, online pharmacies and even at wholesale clubs.

With so many pharmacies to choose from, how do you decide which one to use? For me it's all about convenience. If I have a prescription that I don't need filled immediately then I usually use a mail order pharmacy or a discount pharmacy to cut down on expenses.

If I need the prescription quickly, I consider what other errand I can I do while waiting for the prescription to be filled. So my usual choices are CVS, Target or Sam's Club that way I can get my shopping done while waiting on my prescription. I have a girlfriend who swears Candian pharmacies are the cheapest way to fill prescriptions.

How Do You Choose a Magazine?

I don't go anywhere in the summer without a magazine in my bag. Hanging out at the pool or on the beach just isn't the same without a good magazine to flip through as I work on my tan.

Deciding on which magazine to bring to the pool or the beach is the hard part. Every time I walk over to the magazine aisle at the grocery store, I'm overwhelmed by the selection. I'm interested in entertainment, news and women's health magazines, but even when I narrow it down to these categories I have trouble making a choice. Most of the time it comes down to glancing at the cover article, but when I purchase a magazine just for one article, the rest usually ends up boring me.

So, before I leave for the beach in three weeks I need some help deciding which magazines to take. To help me out, I checked out the magazines that are popular among our users. Cooking Light, PEOPLE and Consumer Reports topped the list. Other popular magazines included Sports Illustrated, TIME and Entertainment Weekly.
