Is the diet pills NV safe

Question
Hello Dr. I am a 32 yr old female who is trying to get in shaped. I am 5/6" and weigh 175 lbs I recently enlisted in the Navy. I have been swimming and working out to get prepared but I am not losing that much weight. I feel tire a lot as well. they say you are what you eat but I don't know because I started eating healthier with a treat here and there only. I don't know what to eat to make me feel energized. I am leaving in the end of Nov and need to lose at least 15 lbs

Answer
Hi Lakenya,
By eating healthier what do you mean? How often are you eating and of what types of food?
As far as losing weight, don't worry about it right now since if you're working out hopefully you're weight lifting to help increase metabolism, which will build some muscle. So you could be building muscle and losing fat, the scale might not budge at first.
As for the NV diet pills. It contains hoodia which claims to suppress appetite, which isn't a good thing in reality. We have an appetite because that is our body's way of telling us we need nourishment, much like we feel thirsty when our body needs water.
The green tea extract will pose a slight thermogenic effect by increasing metabolism ever so slightly, by increasing heart rate and blood pressure, so if you have any health issues I would advise against taking it.
I couldn't really find much other info about it. But I would first get back to me on your current nutrition (describe a typical day), and give me some more details on your exact exercise plan.
