Are weight loss drugs effective in weight loss?

Question

I've heard that weight loss drugs can kind of mess up your metabolism, so that once you go off of the drug you gain back the weight that you have lost. Are they any good for people who don't only want to lose the weight, but keep it off, too?

Answer 1

Often times weight loss drugs are effective, but there can be harsh side effects. For instance, amphetamine weight loss drugs can increase one's blood pressure and heart rate. They can also be addictive. Then, when the individual attains his/her desired weight, they stop taking the medication and gain all the weight back.

I think the best way to lose weight is to make a permanent change in your lifestyle and eating habits. Change your whole view and approach to food. Take smaller plates, put out smaller portions, and eat slower.

Hi! I'm glad you are determined to lose weight, good job! Determination is half the success :)

Now, I have the same problem as you few years back.
The first thing you should know : DO NOT GO ON A DIET

It does not work! It'll only make you gain more weight. Trust me, it's proven all over the world

Number two: BE CAREFUL OF WHAT YOU EAT
Foods that are high in sugar or fats should not be taken at all!
examples: fast food, chips, sweets, canned drinks.

take a look at this pyramid:

Take food which only belong to the Bread, Cereal group, Vegetable group, and Fruits group
Meat eggs and milk yoghurt group can be taken, but not all the time. Probably 4 times a week.

DO NOT TAKE OIL SWEET GROUP! NO WAY!


Number three: EAT LESS, EAT MORE TIMES
you can eat up to 5-6 meals a day, BUT each meal is a small amount.
Eat less in quantity, more in frequency. This is very very effective.


Number four: NEVER EVER TOUCH SLIMMING PILLS
this pills are very very damaging to your health, please do not take them!

Number five: TAKE FOOD WHICH HELPS LOWER BLOOD PRESSURE & CHOLESTEROL
a good food that helps you lower your BP is GRREN APPLE JUICE
but remember, do not take in large amounts on a regular basis, it can cause dizziness.
take about 3 times a week, a cup full will do.

Number five: DO NOT EAT 3 HOURS BEFORE YOU SLEEP
this is a BIG NO NO. your body is not capable of processing your food properly while you are asleep. they will turn into fats.

Number six: EXERCISE
exercise at least 4 times a week, at least 60 minutes per time

suitable exercises: http://bit.ly/1DGq57l

instead of spending money on useless slimming pills, you can hire a personal trainer to set your exercising schedule and monitor you.


Number seven: BE DETERMINED
BE DETERMINED! do not cave into temptation when you see fast food, chips, cookies, sweets, etc etc. Do not touch them! Always persevere to the end!

Number eight: SUPPORT FROM FAMILIES & FRIENDS
Psychology plays a big part too. You'll be more efficient with moral support from friends or families. You'll be motivated to do better :)


Stick to the eight steps strictly and you'll notice results in no time, lady :)
Remember, determination is half the success! You've already succeed half-way! Do not give up and keep on persevere till the end :)

Good luck!

Answer 4

Weight loss drugs do help you lose weight. BUT they're not good for you. Generally you should loose about 2-3 lbs a week to stay healthy. But if you take diet pills you can lose more than that and STILL be missing out on your nutrients and all that good stuff that helps your body function properly. The pills help you lose weight but there is also that chance that you'd be missing out on the vitamins and nutrients that helps you do regual everyday tasks.
