5. BYETTA (exenatide) – AstraZeneca PLC (ADR) (NYSE:AZN)

While approved as a Type-2 diabetes drug, AstraZeneca plc (ADR) (NYSE:AZN)’s BYETTA that ranks 5th in our list of most popular diet pills that work fast without exercise, has also been proven effective at treating obesity in non-diabetic subjects. A double-blind, placebo-controlled study showed that after 35 weeks, the study participants taking exenatide lost nearly 3kg (6 pounds) more weight on average than those taking the placebo (who actually gained weight during the study). Exenatide is an injectable GLP-1 receptor agonist (triggers receptors to take action) which can help delay gastric emptying and regulate blood sugar levels, making it easier for patients to eat less. The drug is manufactured by Amylin Pharmaceuticals LLC (NASDAQ:AMLN), which was acquired by AstraZeneca plc (ADR) (NYSE:AZN) in 2013.
