Lose Weight – Give Me Drugs!
What is to become of us? 65% of us are overweight or obese. Are we eventually all going to look like the passengers of the spaceship Axiom in the movie WALL . E? What are we going to do? The obesity epidemic is not getting any better, in fact it is getting worse. If we go on a diet we may lose between 5 and 10% of our body weight, but only for a short while. The weight comes back again as sure as night follows day.
What’s the answer? People are becoming more and more desperate to try and find a solution to the problem. The answer is proving to be very illusive indeed.
Diets have somehow endorsed people’s consciences. They feel that at least they are doing something even although they know that any success they achieve is going to be short lived. The effect of this ’serial dieting’ is not good. Serial dieting causes depression and physical weakness and should be avoided at all costs.
What about drugs? There is no doubt that some acute cases of obesity require drug therapy. There is no other answer because the problem has become a case of life and death. For the majority of obese or overweight people, this is not an option and it never should be!
Weight loss drugs are not the answer. They are for those who are chronically or morbidly obese. For them there is little else that can get the weight loss ball rolling. They are also helpful to those who have diabetes, and heart disease, but they are not for giving out to people who need to slim down.
Proprietary weight loss drugs fall into the category of diets in their long-term effectiveness. The side effects of weight loss drugs are not pleasant and include headache, back pain, constipation and insomnia, so for those who have to take them, it’s no walk in the park.
There is a great demand from those who are overweight or obese for a ‘fast’ solution to their problem. This is a little strange as the weight gain was almost certainly not ‘fast’. Unfortunately for those that fall for fast solutions, fast weight loss is usually followed by fast weight gain. The one thing that has to be realized is that there is never any real and lasting effect on weight without change.
Making personal change is the only real way to achieve permanent weight loss. It takes commitment and the will to want to live a slimmer, happier, healthier life. By understanding your behaviors and being aware of the causes of your condition you can make successful change. You can learn new habits – slim habits, which will enable you to achieve permanent weight loss. No pills!
To be able to say goodbye to diets forever is something all dieters dream of – you need to get the habit – the Slim Habit.
