Cut kilos with pills, can you really do it

Taking diet pills may seem like the easiest weight-loss option but are they right for you? In today's blog, taken from Diabetic Living, we explore this issue.

Swallowing a pill – is it really enough to make you lose weight? The short answer is
no – not on its own. The sad reality is there is no substitute for eating less and being more active.

Diet medications may kick-start your efforts to trim down and speed up initial weigh loss, but results often come at a price! They can put a hole in your pocket that sees you lose money faster than kilos and may interact with other medications you use or foods you eat. Or, you may be put off by unpleasant side effects.

Even if pills help you shed kilos, they may not keep the weight off or reduce your risk of heart disease or other complications of being overweight. What you definitely cannot expect from pills is a long-term solution to your weight woes. Keeping it off permanently depends on adopting a lifestyle that combines healthy eating with regular exercise.

When can you turn to medication?
Diet pills are known to the health professionals as weight-loss medication therapy. They are an option when you have a body mass index (BMI) over 30, and you don’t have medical conditions such as cardiovascular disease or diabetes, and you’ve failed to drop kilos despite making the necessary lifestyle changes. These changes include reducing your fat intake to less than 30 per cent of your total daily caloric intake and doing at least 15 minutes of low-intensity exercise each day. If you have diabetes or
a cardiovascular condition, a BMI of 27 may qualify you for weight-loss medication therapy, owing to your increased potential health risks.

Diet pill pointers
1 Go for gradual weight loss. Whether you’re losing 1kg per week or per month, the important thing is sustaining it. This way you’ll develop habits that will keep the kilos off for your lifetime.

2 Eat healthily. Opt for a low-fat, low-kilojoule eating plan recommended by a health professional. You will stick more successfully to a balanced, satisfying diet.

3 Boost your activity level. This will kick-start your metabolism, encourage fat burning and increase your energy.

4 Read food labels carefully. Make sure you choose low-fat options with blood glucose friendly carbohydrate levels.

5 Check your medications. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist to ensure there is no risk they’ll interact with your weight-loss pills.

6 Keep track of your progress. Have routine weigh-ins. Studies show hopping on the scales daily or weekly encourages more consistent long-term weight loss.
