One of my MFP's arose the subject of fad dieting and HCG treatment for losing weight. So I just wanted to post about a new pill coming out and what "I" think!!!!

There is also a new pill that is coming out in spring. Qnexa...its a combo of two drugs, but has been linked to heart disease but they say the risk of being obese is larger than the pill puts you at risk. The FDA blocked it being approved just last year but has approved it this year. I say LEARN to eat healthier and get some exercise!!!!!

    Agree! People want the quick fix. As a society we want results now, things to happen now, etc however in reality things don't happen right away.

    Society is also (obviuosly) built around money and companies will do whatever they can to make money. Even if it's an unhealthy and harmful drug geared towards weight loss that suckers people in.

    I'd rather take the longer road to weight loss and know that I DID IT not some pill or drug. I want to feel like I ACCOMPLISHED something which you cannot do when you take a pill for weight loss.

    I agree...I try to eat foods I know I can eat for the rest of my life because if I lose weight on these fad diets or pre-packaged "low calorie" meals then I am not teaching myself anything. After I lose the weight I'll just go back to eating like before and gain it all back! What sense does that make. I've been on MFP for over a year and have changed the way I prepare food and even the foods I eat. Sure I still have pizza but only 2 pieces MAX! I still have ice cream but only 1 cup instead of a heaping bowl!!!! Its all about moderation for me and the weight loss is a plus!
