The diet drug recall is disillusioning for many people who saw the drugs as their only hope in the war on obesity. With obesity affecting one in three adults, the pharmaceutical industry is hard at work trying to find a new drug in the treatment of obesity. Without a basic understanding of responsible eating and regular exercise, diet drugs will be useless in the long run. Diet drugs are not a replacement for diet and exercise, however they should be used in addition to diet and exercise. Anyone who believes they can give up exercise because they are taking a diet pill is sadly mistaken.
Physical inactivity is a very big problem in America.
Currently, less than 10 percent of adult Americans exercise vigorously at least three times per week. This all adds up to less calorie output. Combined with a plentiful food supply, it's no wonder America has an obesity problem. First of all, is an understanding that there are no easy solutions or magic potions for obesity. Successful weight loss takes time.
