Weight Loss Without Drugs

Unless your doctor prescribed you diet pills for your specific health condition, do your best to avoid over-the-counter weight loss drugs. It is possible and by choosing this drug-free way , you will avoid serious complications, sometimes even fatal. Side effects of such drugs may include fast heart beat, mood swings, sleeplessness, restlessness, high blood pressure, etc. Even the toughest weight losers like competing bodybuilders (if they are "natural" of course, and not on steroids) achieve very low body fat percentage by eating right and exercising a lot. Any diet can be right or wrong for you, the question is, which one to choose. Here are three things to consider.

• If you are not an elite athlete or a heavy labor worker, a low fat diet is probably not your best choice. Research showed that low fat diets were inferior of low carb diets on both short term and long term plans.
• The low carb group of diets attracts many dieters because it resulted in decreased general appetite and cravings while not touching the healthy hunger.
• It is important that eating more (not less!) and exercising more result in greater weight loss than eating less and exercising just a little.
