Thank you for the article on diet pills. I'm afraid of them. Instead I'm usin a shake meal substitution of Herbalife 2 times a day. I'm not intending to continue this treatment too long. I have heard the results of other persons. Can you write something for this? thank you

You are right on target. I took diet pills many years ago, lost weight quickly and gained it all back plus more poundsjust about as fast or more so than I lost it! Six years ago my insulin level was found to be sky high. I made the necessary lifestyle changes, slowly lost 80 pounds eating healthy foods, and exercising and now have fantastic lab values. Incidentally, I am now 58 but could pass for about 10 years younger! Weight loss can be achieved without pills, surgery, or fad diets because I have done it.

Everyone knows the possible side effects of stimulants. But there are natural supplements that can help you maintain a healthy weight, such as CLA - a fatty acid. Look it up. It works, but it's not drastic. I can't believe this doctor didn't mention thyroid problems. If you are gaining weight - this could be a sign of a more serious disease, like hypothyrodism or hormonal imbalance. Try and find a GOOD doctor to explore and rule out all these options before telling you to "eat less and work out more".
