2. Are all weight loss supplements safe?
• New weight loss supplements and diet pills are advertised everyday
by drug companies claiming to help you lose weight fast. According to
a new Consumer Report, diet pills rarely work and they aren’t even
FDA approved (Olsen 2014).
• A national survey of about 3,000 Americans, were given
supplements they believed to be safe and effective. One-fourth of the
participants believed that the products had lesser side effects than over
the counter or prescription medications, and about 20 percent thought
the supplements were safer than prescription drugs because they’re
“natural.” When we are searching for weight loss supplements, we
don’t usually think about whether the product is actually FDA approved
or even consult our primary care doctors for advice.

3. Do diet pills really help you lose
weight?
• Peter Cohen, M.D., a physician at Harvard Medical School and the
Cambridge Health Alliance who studies supplements says, “The barrage of
advertising leads us to think there’s a magic way to melt away 10 pounds –
even when we have no evidence that the supplements work.” Unlike over the
counter and prescription drugs, supplements don’t have to be proven safe and
effective before they hit stores (Olsen 2014). “Of all dietary supplements, the
one for weight loss seems to cause the most harm –sometimes liver failure or
even death,” Cohen says.
• In the survey, a third of the participants who took the supplements didn’t
lose weight. Another third lost a few pounds but only 9 percent lost all the
weight they wanted and kept it off. The shocking part is that the
supplements had little to do with it because 85 percent of the people
followed a diet or exercise program (Olsen 2014).

4. Diet and exercise is the key!
• This Consumer Reports survey basically shows us that there is no
way around diet and exercise. Research proves that the key to fat loss is
finding a diet that works for you. A recent review of 48 studies
published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found
that popular programs like Atkins, Jenny Craig, and Weight Watchers,
all worked as well as the other. The dieters lost nearly 18 pounds after 6
months on average (Olsen 2014). Find a weight loss program like the
Venus Factor for Women, that works for you and live a healthier,
happier lifestyle.
