Weight
Loss Medications; Are They Effective Against Syndrome X?
Weight Loss Medications are for
a very limited group of obese people. Most candidates for prescription
weight loss medications are those suffering from Metabolic
Syndrome or otherwise referred to as, Syndrome
X. All three popular weight loss medications are moderately
effective only when taken in conjunction with improved
diet and exercise and also there can be associated dangers
of diet pills. Weight loss medications are not for those individuals
looking for a quick fix diet or crash diet.
Prescription weight loss medications or diet pills not only have
unwanted side effects but also their effectiveness may level off
(weight loss plateau) after
initial weight loss. Some weight loss medications may be used for
up to a year while other weight loss medications are only safe for
6-12 weeks.
If a person still has to diet, exercise, and deal with troublesome
side effects from these weight
loss medications, then why take them?
Doctor prescribed weight loss medications are for obese people who
have developed serious health concerns. Major health concerns related
to obesity are: high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease,
type 2 diabetes, breathing problems, sleep disorders, common
arthritis, and some forms of cancer. Other health concerns linked
to obesity are psychological problems such as: poor self-esteem,
loneliness, depression, and
excessive overeating. Weight
loss medications along with a weight loss diet
plan and exercise can help an obese person lose enough weight
to thwart some of the obese-derived ailments.
Are obese people the only ones who should worry about weight
gain?
"Overweight adolescents often become overweight adults, with
an increased risk for a wide variety of poor health outcomes including
diabetes, stroke, heart disease, arthritis
and certain cancers." (childstats.gov) A well
balanced diet and exercise is the safest and ultimately most
effective way to lose weight permanently for children, teens, and
adults. The incidence of obese children is at an all time high in
America.
Hypothyroidism
can be one of the causes of weight
gain. Another cause of weight gain is overeating
or emotional eating. It is also important to avoid starvation
diets, as they actually slow down weight loss.
How do I know if I am obese and should take weight loss
medications?
If you think that you may be obese please consult your physician
since there could be serious health risks associated with obesity.
Weight loss medications and diet pills should be taken under the
supervision of a doctor. A Body Mass
Index (BMI) in the range of 30 to 40 is considered obese. A
Body Mass Index (BMI) of 40 or
more is considered morbidly obese.
Is there any other alternative to the prescribed weight
loss medications? Is there something for people who want to lose
weight but are not obese?

most of the prescribed weight loss medications, many people are
