The latest trend in losing weight is by having diet pills or by having procedures done or so it seems. I have been seeing ads for weight loss either by taking pills which melts the fat away or by following a diet system that is based on Glycemic index. To add to this, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the first non-Prescription Diet drug called Alli that can be obtained over the counter. The drug will be available in the market around the month of March, so people who like to solve their weight loss problems can start on this drug to be in shape for this summer.
With the advent of this new drug, will we see a decrease in the obesity issue? To support this drug and to control the obesity problem, FCC will have ads of these pills before and after every ad for junk food. The results of this solution maybe slightly different in which we can have all the junk food we want and then pop-in a pill to counteract all the fat that we just had. Imagine how fitness-fanatics will respond to this drug. As it is they are seen in the gym most of the time and also they watch what they eat. Along with all this, they will take the drug to take fitness to the next level. FDA should have some restrictions on who should have this pill.
Some credit has to be given for regular exercises, eating habits and watching your calories. This is the safest means by which one can lose weight and stay in shape. But if time is the essence or if even after exercising the fat packets don’t respond, then what is the solution? Taking pills that dissolves the fat cells; only to hope that it dissolves where it is required. Why risk on a drug that is not yet fully known for its side effects when the simple solution is to have determination to lose weight by exercising and watching the diet. One can’t expect to reach a goal without motivation, determination and sacrifice to attain what is needed.
