Eat Less and Exercise More

It is found in the test that a diet pill which is awaiting governmental approval for sale in the United States can cause depression and anxiety.

Eat less and exercise more is the best opinion for weight loss.

Sanofi-Aventis , a French pharmaceutical company introduced a miracle weight loss diet drug Acomplia which is used to get rid of excess weight , raises good cholesterol, cuts the risk of diabetes and work as an antismoking aid.

Most of the diet drugs are appetite suppressants which can have unpleasant side effects involving the intestinal track, Acomplia works on the brain’s pleasure center, disrupting the cycle of craving and satisfaction that is connected with compulsive behaviors and addictions.

During two year research of the drug it is found that 6.2 percent of those who took a daily 20-milligram dose developed psychiatric disorders, such as depression and anxiety compared with 2.3 percent of those who took a placebo.

By taking the side effects in consideration the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has delayed to make a decision on whether Acomplia should be approved to be sold in the United States.

Many of the obese people who used popular diet suppressant fenphen developed heart-valve disease that’s why the weight loss pill was pulled off the market in1997.

Wyeth, the drug company that made fen-phen, has paid out more than $21 billion in legal fees, judgments and settlements as a result of lawsuits.

Whether Acomplia becomes the miracle diet drug that Sanofi claims it is or whether it suffers the same fate as fen-phen only time will tell.

A few years ago a study was featured in the New England Journal of Medicine which was carried out by National Institutes of Health that the people who took only a diet pill lost an average of 11 pounds but those who stuck to a 1500 calorie daily diet and half –hour walks almost every day lost an average of 27 pounds.

The people who are suffering deep weight problems they need medical help.But for the most people it is advisable for weight loss to follow the formula eat less and exercise more which is completely free from side effects.
