How Not to Lose Weight!

This article examines common misguided approaches to losing weight and explains why they are ineffective or even dangerous:

1. Low-calorie diets. They lead to a “swing effect” - weight loss followed by rapid weight gain. Creates nutritional deficiencies.

2. Diuretics and laxatives. They only cause water loss and imbalance of minerals.

3. Thyroid hormones. Risk of serious side effects if used incorrectly.

4. Amphetamines. They create addiction and have a lot of side effects.

5. "Miracle pills" like Adipex. They give an insignificant and short-term effect, but are dangerous if used for a long time.

Instead, you need to change your approach to nutrition, your relationship with food and your overall lifestyle. This is the only way to achieve lasting weight loss.
