Danger!!
- “Miracle” or fad diets are not effective (After 5 years, 95% of people had regained their initial weight and in most of them, obesity worsened)
- A healthy diet is the first-line treatment for obesity and overweight.
- Medication (whatever it may be) should only be used to enhance the healthy eating effect.
- Medication alone (without a healthy eating programme):
- Does not prevent the most serious diseases associated with obesity (cancer, heart attack, stroke, cardiac death, etc.).
- Loses effectiveness if discontinued (people quickly regain the weight).
