In the context of physical health, weight loss is the process of losing body weight, usually by losing fat. To achieve healthy weight loss, most experts recommend a combination of healthy eating patterns and regular physical exercise. Some people try to lose weight by using drugs such as fenfluoramine, nicotine or cocaine (see Anti-obesity drugs), herbs such as ephedra, or surgery such as liposuction.

Consider The Facts Before Taking Weight Loss Pills
By Todd Brenner, MD
Are you struggling with weight loss? If diet and exercise have left you scratching your head, have you considered pills to help you lose weight?

You are not alone. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey reported that nearly two thirds of Americans are overweight. Many of these overweight people turn to pills to help them battle the bulge.

Being overweight is a risk factor for many chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and certain cancers. It also has detrimental effects on self-esteem and confidence. For these many reasons, you may consider pills to help you lose weight.

If you have tried conventional methods for weight loss, you may find pills very tempting. When considering pills, the old adage of ‘buyer beware’ holds true. Be sure to avoid products that make outrageous claims. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Some exceptions would be “pure form” pills that have been clinically proven such as Ephedra. In fact, the Ephedra ban was lifted in April of this year and is now available to the public once again at www.EphedraEnergy.com

Consider the following questions when evaluating the many pills available:

·Can I access clinical research on the pills?
·How much weight do you want to lose and how fast?
·What are the side effects of the pills?
·Should I go the all natural route or take a prescription?
·How long can pills safely be taken?

Consult your Doctor about pills and discuss the following:

·Your complete medical history
·Ask for a medical examination
·Discuss your options, including pills
·Ask about the side effects of pills
·Arrange a follow-up appointment if you choose to take pills

If you’ve decided that pills are right for you, follow these safety measures:

·Take the pills exactly as noted on the label
·Follow a healthy eating and exercise program
·If you experience side effects, inform your doctor
·Visit your doctor after taking pills the first month to assess it’s progress
·If the pills aren’t working – stop taking them!

Following the steps above should help you make an informed decision regarding the right pill for your body type and desired results. The first real step in any program starts first with the conscious decision to do something about it.
