Obesity Remedy

Sibutramine And Phentermine

Sibutramine - Sibutramine is an appetite suppressant. People normally take it once a day with or without food. It is approved for long-term use, but it can be habit-forming. Side effects include headache, constipation, insomnia, mood changes, and stomach pain.

Phentermine - Phentermine is also an appetite suppressant. People usually take it one single dose in the morning or three times a day 30 minutes before meals. Phentermine is not prescribed for long-term use and is usually only prescribed for three to six weeks. It can be habit-forming. Side effects of phentermine include dry mouth, unpleasant taste, diarrhea, constipation, and vomiting.

NATURAL ALTERNATIVES

There are a variety of natural alternatives to consider when seeking to conquer obesity. Many prefer to utilize natural alternatives rather than resorting to appetite suppressants and surgical procedures. While natural alternatives provide an option that is often more healthy, using natural methods does take time and patience, and a level of commitment that is a bit higher than choosing to use pharmaceutical or surgical means. Which natural method of weight loss or weight control you use depends upon several factors, including what types of foods you like, the amount of time you are willing to dedicate, and your schedule. All natural alternatives require some form of exercise, so rather than discuss them here we will discuss exercise routines in the next section.

USING AYURVEDA

Ayurveda is an ancient Sanskrit word meaning science of life, and actually is a branch of traditional Indian medicine. Using Ayurveda means actually changing not only the way you eat, but also the way that you see yourself and your body. In Ayurveda, you don’t objectivize your body as a “thing”, but realize your body as a system of energy that is constantly changing. Realizing that 98% of the atoms in your body are replaced completely within less than one year helps you to understand that nothing about your body is static, and if you wish it to change, then change is actually easy. What needs to be done is to retrain the body and its cells to think differently, and to stop responding randomly to external stimuli. This is putting an end to what is called self-referral.

The first step is very simple; when you are hungry then eat, but when you are not don’t eat. Although this seems over simplistic, in this practice is the key to conquering most cases of obesity. Americans eat impulsively more so than any other culture in the world, and that means we eat often when we are not hungry. We tend to eat because we see food we like, or when we sit down to watch a movie, or perhaps when we are sad or feeling depressed. We have learned to use food as a pacifier, a stimulant, and a hobby. The key is unlearning this behavior. To be Continued on the next Post.
