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.
Drugs, are they the answer? When people get desperate they turn to anything. Doctors have been under increasing pressure to prescribe weight loss drugs to overweight and obese people.
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.
All drugs have side-effects and weight loss drugs are no exception. For those that have to take them, they can be an added burden - not to be recommended.
Weight gain accumulates over time and yet there is the demand that any weight loss should be instant. Fast weight loss unfortunately leads to fast weight gain. Pills and drugs are not a quick fix.
The only way to achieve real and lasting weight loss is to make a cast iron commitment to personal change. Behavior change is the answer and this only comes through recognizing bad behaviors and learning new habits, slim habits. Permanent weight loss is achievable, all it takes is effort. - 15359
