Ask yourself "how do I begin
to improve my health habits?' A good way is to start
is to set small goals instead of large ones that you
won't be able to meet. The only proven way to lose weight
and keep it off is by making permanent lifestyle changes.
You must eat healthier, watch portion sizes and be active.
If you still insist on a weight loss
program or popping a pill to lose weight, there are
a few things you need to consider. Diet pills may mean
two different things:-One's which is available over-the-counter
offering everything from pills to teas that promise
weight loss and, prescription weight loss pills, available
only by prescriptions.
It is important to keep in mind that
weight loss supplements available over-the-counter doesn't
necessarily mean they are safe. Taking medication without
any doctor's knowledge is a risky prospect. And yes,
beware of high costs, pressure to buy special foods
or pills, and fraudulent cases.
Types of prescription drugs:
Most prescription drugs have to be prescribed by a doctor
and can be prescribed to severely obese patients with
a very high BMI. There are three types of weight loss
medications:
- Those that suppress the appetite
with amphetamine - like effect (Adipex, Didrex, Phentermine),
- Appetite suppressants called sibutramine
(Meridia).
- And, Orlistat, which prevents the
absorption of some of the fat that you eat (Xenical).
All have potential side effects and
should not be consumed without doctor's supervision
and none should be used indefinitely.
Some of these products offer the potential
for real weight loss, but having adequate information
about the efficacy and safety of weight loss products
is paramount to making a well informed decision.
Even if you choose to use an OTC weight
loss product or participate in a weight loss program
or are prescribed a prescription diet pill, the bottom
line is that you still must eat fewer calories than
you burn to lose weight.
Most of these weight loss drugs are
also available online. There are a number of internet
pharmacies which sell all the products. With a click
