There are two completely different opinions in society about taking medicine to lose weight. Opponents said: “It is a three-point poisonous medicine. You can avoid taking medicine or try not to take it as much as possible. If you take too much medicine, the human body will develop drug resistance and cause trouble for future treatment. Look at foreigners, they don’t take medicine when they catch a cold. , Take a few tablets of vitamins, drink more water, and rest more, and the disease will be cured.” But supporters believe: “Obesity is also a disease, and it must be cured. Now, 9 out of 10 fat people have fatty liver, high blood pressure, heart disease… Is it okay to die?”
Can you really eat weight loss pills if you want?
“Does it mean that you don’t need to exercise and diet when you take diet pills?” Many people buy expensive diet pills with this purpose as an alternative to hard workouts and hard diets. But, from a doctor’s point of view, diet pills are not for those who wish to be lazy.
In foreign countries, only patients diagnosed with obesity by doctors will purchase designated weight loss drugs with doctor’s prescription, and carry out planned treatment according to the weight loss plan formulated by doctors. The type of medicine, the dosage of medicine and the time of taking medicine are strictly controlled by the doctor, and the patient cannot decide by himself.
Generally speaking, it is necessary for people with a BMI over 24 to consider taking diet pills as an auxiliary means of exercising and losing weight, while the average overweight person only needs to pay attention to strengthening daily exercise, and there is no need to take diet pills at all.
Some people take diet pills to “prevent obesity” and it’s not really necessary. All diet pills have some kind of side effects, some light or heavy. If it is not forced by “disease”, there is really no need to take it.
Moreover, whether you are obese or not can only be known after you go to a specialized weight loss clinic for a systematic examination. The pharmacological effects of weight loss drugs currently on the market are different, and there are many cases of side effects. Without the guidance of a doctor, and with a simple instruction manual, it may be difficult to find a drug that suits your condition.
Should you really join the “drug” family?

At the “Symposium on Obesity and Disease Risk in Chinese Population” organized by the China Office of the International Society of Life Sciences and other units, experts reached a consensus on the Chinese obesity standard: using body mass index (BMI) as a measure of obesity or not According to the standard, when the BMI is greater than 24, it is overweight, and when it is greater than 28, it is obese.
How is BMI measured? As the most commonly used standard for judging obesity in the world, BMI = weight (Kg) ÷ height squared (m2). In addition, there are some people who are very “standard” weight, but have a disproportionate distribution of fat, such as the common pear-shaped body.
These people also belong to the category of obesity. According to the data of waist to hip ratio. At present, the world’s universal standard for women’s waist-to-hip ratio is that waist circumference (cm) ÷ hip circumference (cm) should be less than 0.85. If it is seriously exceeded, it must be reduced if it is not “fat”, because the fat concentrated in the abdomen is much more harmful to health than the fat distributed in the limbs and buttocks!
