Question : Sure, what do you think of the new FDA Beltiq(sp)
for weight loss?
for weight loss?
Brief Answer:
Not wise to use diet pill with out consult prefer nature
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and I understand your concern. Belviq is a diet pill approved by FDA for weight loss in obese or overweight with body mass index of 27 or more.
How ever I seriously doubt the prioritising of these pills as these are still medications and full of adverse effect profile with risks and contraindication so I would not advise to go for it in first place not to speak of evaluating you to rule out the contraindications for its use.
PS don't use the fifteen days trials you ordered already with out talking to your doctor and letting him rule out all the risk factors like heart problems and psychiatric illnesses etc before starting. Self medication is no different than suicide.
To me weight loss is an art must be achieved by a regular exercise and natural means and not by these measures which should be left as lest resorts. Start from natural means. Sign up to an FDA approved weight loss program and start losing weight by natural means. Remember slow at end steady wins the race.
I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and don't forget to close the discussion please.
