I've burned body fat whilst consuming over 400 g of carbs daily. I prefer it that way because I'm usually quite active when I decide to shed some fat. That's why you probably won't see very many low-carb athletes.

I don't think I'd ever use diet pills. It seems like a way to trick your body into doing the things exercise is supposed to do, with regard to metabolism. The appetite suppressant mechanism would be counter-intuitive if you were exercising at the same time. I think appetite is an important indicator in terms of reading your body while on an exercise program.
