Unless you’ve been under a rock, you’ve likely heard about the FDA’s plans to expand lap band surgery. They are also looking for new applications of existing weight loss diet pills. And I gotta tell ya, I just think this is lazy.
Look, I don’t deny that there are plenty of people out there who are severely overweight or obese and NEED surgery or at least the best diet pills. But when you’re just a little bit overweight, surgery is a huge step. It’s not a quick fix- it’s the beginning of a major lifestyle change. And no matter how you look at it, it’s not healthy to take diet pills for the rest of your life.
True, permanent weight loss comes from hard work and long term changes. You have to eat healthy foods. You have to exercise. A lot. Again and again and again. It’s not easy, but it’s the only way.
