Questions And Answers - Diet And Weight Loss

Are diet pills a solution to my weight problem?

You can take a pill to suppress your appetite, block absorption of dietary fat, or raise your metabolism. Pick up a magazine, turn on TV or search the internet and you can learn about pills that claim to help in countless other ways. Some work. Some don't. And some are very dangerous.

People dream of a magic pill that will let them eat anything they want. The problem is that while such a pill might keep them slim, they could still die prematurely from disease. People do not suffer weight-related diseases only because they are overweight; disease is also caused by eating unhealthy foods.

Thus a pill that would allow you to overeat and remain slim would not be good for you unless you ate healthy foods. And if you ate healthy foods, you wouldn't need a pill in the first place.


Suppressing Hunger

If you are looking for an appetite suppressant because you feel hungry all the time, you are probably not eating well. You only have to eat reasonable quantities of healthy foods to satisfy your appetite.

Healthy foods such as fruits, vegetables and whole grains are high in fiber and fluid content. They satisfy our feelings of hunger more completely not only because they provide greater volume, but also because it takes our bodies longer to process them.

Just as our bodies can suffer withdrawal from substances like caffeine, they can also suffer withdrawal from other substances such as the excess salt, sugar and fat found in unhealthy, highly processed foods. When this happens we might think that we feel hunger, but it is actually our body's desire to satisfy our addictions.

Our bodies require adequate nutrition and tell us when they don't get it by signaling hunger. Thus we can eat high calorie, unhealthy foods and still feel hungry. Overweight people are often overfed and undernourished.

If you eat healthy foods with a high ratio of nutrients to calories, you will not be fat and you will not go hungry. You will be healthier, too.


Ask Your Doctor

So many people are overweight because of poor eating habits that it is relatively rare to be overweight because of a medical condition. Genetics are more likely to be a factor, but even a genetic predisposition to being overweight can largely be managed by eating well and exercising.

Even if you do not suspect that you have a medical condition, you should consult with a doctor before using any type of diet pill. Many can have harmful side effects and interactions with other drugs.

Do not assume that an over-the-counter, non-prescription pill is any safer than one requiring a prescription. It simply means that its ingredients are not regulated by the government, and this should give you even more reason to be cautious.

Do not make the mistake of equating "natural" or "herbal" with being safe. Nature makes poisons quite well, and there are many non-poisonous products of nature that become toxic when used in large quantities or mixed with certain other ingredients.

If your doctor recommends using a pill, be sure you understand why a pill is being recommended in place of healthy foods and exercise. In the end, you must learn to eat well and exercise on a regular basis. If you don't, any weight lost -- through any means -- will return and your health will be worse from the experience.
