Exercise Enhances the Benefits of Diet Pills
November 22, 2005
New research findings suggest that there's no quick method available for dealing with overweight. For diet pills to work best, their use should be accompanied by exercise and a healthy diet. Weight loss medication combined with a proper diet and exercise takes off twice as much weight as either treatment by itself.
The findings indicated that weight loss medications should be used only as an adjunct to a program of lifestyle modification, as recommended by both the National Institutes of Health and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). According to the research, patients experiencing the greatest weight loss took the drug but also kept food diaries and got the counseling from their physicians or nurse practitioners.
According to doctors, dieting and exercise are hard work, but for those who are serious about losing weight and keeping it off, hard work is part of the formula.
