Want to feel full as soon as you begin eating � there could be a new pill just for you
12 Answers
Some of us are constantly struggling to stick to our diets and say 'no' to another biscuit, but a new pill taken once a day claims to help women drop two dress sizes in six months. It affects part of the brain that controls appetite; as soon as you start to eat it you can feel full. There are claims that it could cut the need for drastic surgery to combat obesity as well as cutting heart disease and diabetes risks. There are however, worries that this pill does not cure the underlining problem of unhealthy lifestyles that can be the cause of the risks associated with obesity. What do you think? Could this be a miraculous help? Or do you think this is a quick fix that does not cure the real problem of obesity in the UK?

I'm willing to bet that this pill is at worst dangerous and at the best an expensive placebo for gullable women and men.

I don't actually think losing 1 1/2 stone in 6 months is that impressive, to be honest. Assuming that following a healthy diet/excercise regime, or joining a slimming club, a person could lose 1-2 lbs per week, that's around 1 stone every 7 - 14 weeks. In 6 months, you'd expect to lose around, say 2 1/2 to 3 stone. and people who are very obese often drop around stone a month just from cutting back on fatty snacks and getting more exercise, and they can still enjoy their food and wouldn't be depriving themselves of anything.
