Weight Loss Pills
Are they Effective?
If 10 dieters take the same diet or weight loss pills and 8 of
them lose weight, the diet drugs work, right? Not necessarily!
- Suppose weight loss is followed by weight regain?
Suppose the diet drugs cause heart problems as well as weight
loss?
- Suppose the diet or weight loss medications become addictive?
- Weight Loss is Not the Only Test for Diet Pills
- Weight loss is not the only criteria by which to assess the
effectiveness of diet pills. Weight loss is only one element.
Diet & Weight Loss Pills vs. Diet & Exercise Program
Suppose 100 dieters are divided into two diet groups. Group A is
put on a weight loss diet and exercise program. Group B is given
weight loss pills.
Suppose Group B dieters lose the same amount of weight as Group A?
Does this mean the diet or weight loss pills are effective? Is
this weight loss (achievable by normal dietary and exercise
methods) worth the huge cost of diet pills and weight loss
supplements? Is it worth risking your long term health?
Diet & Weight Loss Pills Work Best When....
- You are seriously overweight (obese), or your weight poses health
problems; and
- You have tried a conventional weight loss diet & exercise plan,
without success; and
- Your doctor prescribes weight loss medication for you; and
The diet or weight loss drug is part of a proper diet and exercise
program; and
- Whatever weight loss pill you take, you follow manufacturer's
instructions; and
- You revisit your doctor regularly to check whether the weight loss
pills are working and be examined for side-effects; and
You use diet & weight loss drugs as a short-term aid to weight
control.
Studies on Weight Loss Pills Success
The idea that a diet pill or supplement can make losing weight
easy is seductive - that's why dieters spend billions of dollars
buying diet drugs and drug companies spend billions of dollars
developing new weight loss pills. But while drug therapy offers
hope of lower weight to many, studies show that weight loss
medications work only when used in combination with a low calorie
diet and exercise plan.
Diet & Weight Loss Pills
Diet and weight loss drugs or pills, whether prescription or
over-the-counter weight loss supplements, are only effective when
combined with a healthy diet and exercise plan.
NOTE: Before using any form of diet pills or weight loss
supplements, please consult your doctor.
