If any of us could take a pill and lose weight, wouldn’t we all do it? Let’s face it, it’s hard to stick to a diet and exercise plan, negotiate long plateaus, deal with difficult temptations and hunger, and having to process negative emotions we may have been medicating with food. The Mayo Clinic has written an excellent article about weight loss supplements that is very comprehensive in its admonishment to do your homework. With such a huge variety of over-the-counter weight loss pills to choose from, and the fact that they generally are not regulated by the FDA, means that many of us could be at risk. Make sure you talk to your doctor or pharmacist before you take any types of supplements, especially if you are already on medication for any other ailments.
