No Magic Pill for Weight Loss
Q:
I’m a post-menopausal woman of 55 years – and, unfortunately, about the same number of pounds (~50) over what I weighed before menopause. I sent once or twice for a diet aid through the mail, and since then I’ve been inundated with literature from every diet aid vendor in the world, it seems! Just recently, I received two offers promising to make me lose five or more pounds a day! I also saw an ad for an easy exercise system that can "oxidize" fat away. Can you comment on these seemingly impossible promises? And how do I get rid of the new spare tire around my waist that never was there before?
A: "Impossible promises" is exactly what all these amazing diet offers are, even though they come with a "money-back guarantee." It seems that whenever I open the newspaper or a magazine or see a flyer posted on a board, I read about some miracle drug or supplement that will enable a person to lose lots of weight in a short time. After working with various obese patients and friends over the years, I'm convinced that there is no magic pill. Yes, phentermine and the Fen-Phen combination enabled people to lose 30, 40 or even 50 pounds, but as soon as they stopped taking the appetite suppressant, the weight returned. And fenfluramine, the "fen" part of fen-phen, has been shown to cause some heart valve problems, so was eventually taken off the market. (Phentermine is thought to be safe and is still in wide use.)

    Fatter parents, fatter kids: Childhood obesity is a hefty problem
    RELATED VIDEO CNN's Holly Firfer reports Windows Media September 8, 1998
    Web posted at: 9:14 p.m. EDT (0114 GMT) (CNN) According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 35 percent of all American adults are overweight. And as Mom and Dad get fatter, so do the children. Two new studies provide insight into the rise in childhood weight gain. A study in the journal Pediatrics found feeding an infant solid food before 6 months of age does not contribute to weight gain as some experts had feared. However, numbers say childhood obesity is still a serious problem. About 8 percent of all preschool-age children are overweight, and nearly double that are overweight between age 6 and 11. This latest research underscores the need for parents to become involved in their children's eating behaviors, physical activity and general weight control.

About 97 million adults in the United States are overweight or obese. Obesity and overweight substantially increase the risk of morbidity from hypertension; dyslipidemia; type 2 diabetes; coronary heart disease; stroke; gallbladder disease; osteoarthritis; sleep apnea and respiratory problems; and endometrial, breast, prostate, and colon cancers. Higher body weights are also associated with increases in all-cause mortality. The following items related to the guidelines are available below:
