While Meridia and Xenical are the only drugs approved by FDA, it is gainful to take them with proper weight loss counseling. Study shows two groups were the former reduced 27 pounds when the drug was coupled with counseling while the latter reduced only 11 pounds consuming the drug without added counseling. Other weight loss drugs were also reviewed in a similar ways, while none promised to reduce the risks of heart disease.

Therefore it is better to eat and exercise wisely instead of comitting the mistake of being an obese, followed by a greater mistake of consuming weight loss pills without proper counseling. Moreover the dieticians should concentrate more on dietary counseling instead of advising patients to switchover to an easy but less effective way to weight loss. More Info: Double
