A new diet pill called Acomplia is creating quite a buzz in the weight-loss community. The pill, still in early clinical trials and awaiting FDA approval, shows promise for curbing appetite (and helping users to quit smoking as well). But beware the promises of a quick fix — while this pill may prove successful in the short term, the key to maintaining weight loss over the long term is proper diet and regular exercise.
Like other diet pills, Acomplia suggests the idea that your weight-loss woes can be solved with a simple pill. However, there is no such thing as a magic weight-loss pill, and even pills that seem to work often come with dangerous side effects. Instead of searching for an easy way out, it's time to acknowledge that improving your health will take some effort.
The best bet for losing weight is still to follow a sensible eating plan, like The South Beach Diet™, and stay active. The principles of the diet are easy to follow and come with proven results. You don't have to worry about side effects, and as long as you continue to make healthy decisions, and you will experience its benefits for years to come.
