Are you kidding me?

According to French scientist, aside from other known health problems, being overweight can lower your cognitive function.

A five year study at Toulouse University on with 2,223 participants has claimed to find a link between obesity and mental ability. Four tests were given including a selective attention test, a word recall test, a digit-symbol substitution test. According to the initial results, those with a lower body mass index (BMI) performed better on the test. Also, subsequent test showed that those who were overweight showed a decline on the test while those at a healthy weight retained about the same ability. The subjects in these tests ranged from 32 to 62 years of age.

While the implications of these findings might not be as alarming as the health risks associated with being overweight, it certaintly is something to think about. Other factors could possibly be involved, but the social norms of those people who are of an unhealthy weight could certaintly play a role in the test findings. As always, talk with your doctor.

Weight loss is many things to many people. Some, just want to lose a couple of pounds here or a couple of pounds there. For others, it is a constant struggle and something that consumes much of their thinking. Obesity is also a medical problem that effects a large number of people and can cause many health issues.

No wonder there are so many diet fads, magazines, TV shows, talk shows, studies, surgeries, and medicines devoted to this very topic. The amount of information out there staggers the mind. What is a person to do or think with this overload? The shapely people in the ads make it look oh so easy.

The fact of the matter is that it is different for every person. There are differences based on even gender and genetics. When you read the fine print on products they add in "with diet and exercise." This is not to say that these drugs and medicines do not work, but if you want faster and more defining changes, maybe you should go the tried and true route. Notice that the word easy is not in there.

We would encourage you to get informed on what you are taking before you buy and consult your physician or a trainer on a program that is right for you. We thank you for stopping by and hope you find the information that will be posted here in the future useful. First we will be taking a look at each of the weight loss medications carried here.
