Do research

I agree, it is a good idea to do some research first before embarking on something; be it buying that gadget you've always wanted, or taking off weight. I read in one of those hydroxycut advanced reviews that sometimes the leading diet pill can also have side effects that could be harmful instead of helpful. Or like the one I read about this phonecam that seems so high-tech but have software issues. It helps to read/ask around, and do research on your own; that way you wouldn't have anyone to blame but yourself! :P
