Prescription Weight Loss Medicine
Obesity often requires long-term treatment to promote and sustain weight loss. As in other chronic conditions, such as diabetes or high blood pressure, long-term use of prescription medications may be appropriate for some people. While most side effects of prescription medications for obesity are mild, serious complications have been reported (see below.)
Weight Loss Drinks Guide
Weight Loss Drinks
Drinks sold to enhance weight reduction are usually shakes. These drinks are typically low in calories, but contain micronutrients like vitamins and minerals. They are usually sold to dieters as part of a liquid diet program or meal replacement diet plan. SlimFast, MediFast and NutriSystem are the most popular brands of meal replacement weight loss plans.
Medically supervised liquid diets are usually reserved for severely obese patients, and can be highly effective in helping such patients to lose weight. However, the use of weight loss drinks and other meal replacements is commonly a short term response to weight control, as these diet programs do not teach dieters how to make healthy food choices.

Anti-obesity medication
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anti-obesity medication or weight loss drugs refer to all pharmacological agents that reduce or control weight. These drugs alter one of the fundamental processes of the human body, weight regulation, by either altering appetite, metabolism, or absorption of calories. It is common for them to be tried and if there is little or no benefit from them to discontinue treatment.[1] The main treatment modalities for overweight and obesity are dieting and physical exercise.
Because of potential side effects, it is recommended that anti-obesity drugs only be prescribed for obesity where it is hoped that the benefits of the treatment outweigh its risks.[2][3]

Top 10 Exercise Tips For Rapid Weight Loss
If you were to take all the diet pills, weight loss pills and fat burners sitting on store shelves right now, the resulting pile would be big enough to sink a battleship. Add to that stack all the diet products, diet patches, diet food, prescription diet pills and other weight loss drugs and pretty soon you’re talking about a virtual mountain of weight loss products designed to help you lose weight fast. If you really wanted to get carried away, you could then add to that heap all the weight loss programs, diet plans and diet programs that have issued a book within the last year. Can you imagine how big that mountain is now?
The resulting accumulation of ‘stuff’ is what the average American finds when they first seek a weight loss plan. Once you decide to drop those extra pounds and really get in shape, you’re confronted with a staggering array of fast weight loss diets, diet drugs and diet recipes that all promise fast weight loss with little to no effort.
Unfortunately, few of these quick weight loss programs actually work. Most people looking for easy weight loss try at least a few diets. According to Julie Garden-Robinson, extension food and nutrition specialist at NDSU, “About 95 percent of fad diets fail. Put another way, only about 5 percent of dieters are able to maintain a significant weight loss, which means a drop in weight equaling 10 percent, or more, of what they weighed before they began dieting.”
