Rapid weight loss

Dr. Amazo’s medicinal drink not only dissolves fat, but gives you energy!  Get rid of a lifetime of stored toxins and waste materials that cause you to be fat!  Lose 10 pounds in 10 days without dieting or exercise!  Believe these claims or not, weight loss and diet products make them all the time, and even more bold claims.

Baloney!  Americans still spend upwards of $40 billion on weight loss products that mostly don’t work.  Failure doesn’t stop new diets from springing up out of the wood work, or people from trying them.  Remember Joe Frazier’s diet, chew the food but spit it out?  He said it made him full and gave him all the nutrients without the fat.  See, mimes had the secret to weight loss all the time.  Then there are the magic pills, creams, and diet supplements that guarantee to burn pounds without exercise, guaranteed.  No that wasn’t a typo, they mention the word guarantee so often it starts to lose meaning.  And when they don’t mention exactly what is involved in the “guarantee” it doesn’t have any meaning.  It’s simply a tricking people to think the product works.

Another diet is the VLCD or Very Low Calorie Diet.  They work, and studies prove it.  The problem is they are often sold to people for home use to drop a few pounds.  The issue is that’s not how VLCDs were designed.  When people are so much overweight it becomes a health problem, VLCDs were made to come to the rescue.  These diets often include eating half or less of their daily caloric intake.  They’re designed to be implemented in medically supervised closed settings, where people can’t cheat.  When used outside of a closed setting, often a clinic called a “fat farm,” these diets can be harmful to the dieters health and will generally not work because of binge eating after a period of partial starvation.

Rapid weight loss, if it works, creates a number of problems with the body.  Painful Gallstones develop in up to 25% of people who lose large amounts of weight over a few months.  Uneducated dieters can often become dehydrated because they don’t realize a large portion of the water people need to drink comes from foods.  It’s easy to compensate for this by drinking more water.  Malnutrition can develop from not eating enough protein over a long period of time.  The body can even become unable to process protein, which leads to serious illness and even death.

Rapid weight loss is a great idea.  But it’s not for most people, and should be administered and supervised by qualified medical professionals.
