Qnexa Anti-Obesity Drug a Poor Substitute for Diet, Exercise

The Food and Drug Administration has approved the anti-obesity drug Qnexa for weight loss. Qnexa, an anticonvulsant plus appetite suppressant cocktail, has risks, says the LA Times. The FDA says being fat is a bigger threat to health than those issues, though. I disagree, but not just because of the potential for birth defect and heart problems. Qnexa or any other diet pill is a placebo, an enabler. It doesn't address the real problems with obesity which are eating too much and doing too little. And I know what I'm talking about. I put on 100 pounds, thanks largely to a pill and the vicious circle of health problems it caused (Paxil antidepressant). I have lost a little over half of the weight just from changing to a healthier diet. I haven't even added much exercise. I have several back issues (not from obesity but from structural defects). If you need a supplement to jump start weight loss, try a green tea-antioxidant supplement. Mega-T is a great appetite suppressant and it's natural! For an herbal water pill try (Uva Ursi, Parsley, cranberry). And don't forget a natural fruit cleanse: bilberry, Alive, Whole Food Multi.  Please, for health's sake, avoid diet drugs. If I can do it, so can you. Qnexa Anti-Obesity Drug a Poor Substitute for Diet, Exercise
