Britney Spears Overdosing on Diet Pills

Now this is just insane. According to Fox News, Britney pops several pills (Metabo Speed XXX and Dexatrim) and then washes them down with a Red Bull before she goes on stage.

At least that’s what her father is claiming.

Is it just for the insane energy boost that would provide (not to mention the extreme increase in her heart rate) before a concert, or is she doing that to control her weight as well?

The answer is less important than the lesson. If you even choose to use diet pills, do so very carefully, and don’t use them for an extended period of time (my recommendation is no more than 60 days on with 180 days off).
