In the context of physical health, weight loss is the process of losing body weight, usually by losing fat. To achieve healthy weight loss, most experts recommend a combination of healthy eating patterns and regular physical exercise. Some people try to lose weight by using drugs such as fenfluoramine, nicotine or cocaine (see Anti-obesity drugs), herbs such as ephedra, or surgery such as liposuction.

Weight control is a strategy that is adopted as a preventive life style. It is an attitude of keeping weight down. As fried and fatty foods have increased in our diets and the demand for physical labor has decreased, there is an increase in obesity. Most people today are appearance motivated to lose weight.

here in canada there is a medically supervised weight loss clinic called Dr.Bernstein Medical Weight Loss.  I went to this clinic and lost 20lbs as they have RNs that monitor you and you see a Dr.every 4weeks.  You are given B12 shots along with following a strict diet where most carbs are eliminated and you have your urine tested for ketones every other day.  

I do know that you may not find a Dr. in the USA that will do this, but most Naturapathic Drs do B12 shots (not sure if you are covered for these) but the cost is relatively inexpensive....check out the Naturapath near you if you cannot find an MD......Good Luck!  As far as following a healthy diet and exercise regime - sometimes we all need that little extra help so I hope mr preachy pants prescribes himself a chill pill!!!

In Birmingham, Al there is Dr. Woody Fritz in Homewood on Montgomery Highway.  It is the Fritz Clinic.  They have a web site and he specializes in weight loss.  He will put you on the South Beach diet.  He also has everyone take their body temp for one week, first thing in the AM and 12 hours later to see if they have Wilson's thyroid syndrome.  He prescribes various weight loss drugs but also uses B12 injections.  Personally, I think he is too dogmatic and preachy for my style but he does get results and he will give you B12 injections.  Good luck.

Well This past month I have been going every week, and I switched from Bonitrol to Adipex, I not had a BM and I am miserable for the past two weeks. SO last week I stopped to clear my system out and have been eating like crazy, I need a diet regime that will help and the shots are wonderful, but what I want to know will they work with out the diet pills. Has anyone had any luck

I see Dr Sanchez in Montgomery for almost a month and I have lost 17lbs. I stopped take the Phentermine yesterday because I was also constipated and since I have increased my water intake I don't eat much at all so the Phentermine is not a good idea for me. I had stop eating all together. I would eat maybe every other day. I could not drink even a whole bottle of water because the pill would have me so full.I drink at least 4 or 5 16oz bottled water a day since about October. In all I have lost 35lbs. So I am gonna stick with the shot(once a week $15) and see how it does. But the first 2weeks the pill was fine. I was miserable the next week and a half. But I feel great and so far so good. Please DON'T GIVE UP! Everybody body is different. I was on this same diet in 98' and I wish I would have continued.

Good information.  I am also from Alabama (Troy).  I have an appointment with Dr. Sanchez on June 1.  I here this weight loss program is really great.  I have also been told to make sure to drink plenty of water every day to prevent constipation.  I was also told that you can take Senkot each night before going to bed.  I am looking forward to my appointment June 1st.
