clinically obese. The choice of the product is only permitted only after examining a patient. The products are not meant for those who have heart complications or high blood pressure, diabetes, thyroid, glaucoma etc.

Adipex-P or phentermine hydrochloride is also another short term- drug which effectively reduces appetite like the other one.

These obesity drugs are taken in conjunction with diet control and exercise regimes. There is a structured program inbuilt by physicians who monitor the progress and effect of the drugs on the patient on a day to day basis. The weight loss drugs are immediately discontinued if side effects persist or the drug fails to reduce weight.

What about the non prescription appetite suppressant drugs?

There are plenty of non-prescription weight loss drugs available in the market as herbal supplements or at least they claim to have natural ingredients which are less harmful to the body. However one should consult a doctor before risking one’s health to unknown symptoms or side effects of the drugs on the body.

While losing weight….

When we lose weight we also lose fat, muscle tissues and water. Hence it is always advised to have plenty of water to avoid dehydration of the body. From the health point of view and to maintain a good metabolic rate it is better to preserve as much lean body mass as possible. Experts are

of the opinion that during the early weeks of weight loss 75% of the weight loss is fat loss and the rest 25% come from the lean mass. That is why if certain exercises are incorporated one can lose upto 90% fat and reduce the lean loss to 10%.

Conclusion

The quantity of lean body mass determines the rate of calorie burns or metabolism. However, body fat also helps in storing potential energy for the body protecting us from external injuries and cold temperature. But that’s no reason to retain all that excess fat. What one should ideally consider is one’s body mass indexwhich will decide on how much weight we need to lose. Let’s fight obesity and strengthen our life span!
