Diet Blog - For Those Weight Loss New Years People
December 31st, 2008 by Jared MorrisBlog post by WGMD’s Jared Morris,
Not that I advocate the use of diet pills and lots of drugs to lose weight, but there are some warnings against some weight-loss pills.. Also, you might want to stay away from anything locked up in that strange plastic display at those dirty gas stations…
Also, I don’t recommend eating peas and only peas..
My plan is simple.. no fried foods.. less oils in cooking.. no salt.. no soda.. no cheese.. no fast food..
It’s more of a prevent a heart attack at 30 plan than a diet..
This is all too much pressure.. When’s Dan getting here with the scale..
Is it too early to back out?

FDA Warns Against Several Weight-Loss Pills
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration says to be careful when trying to shed those extra holiday pounds you packed on. The government has listed nearly 30 weight-loss pills that pose health risks, including:

Japan Lingzhi
24 Hours Diet
5x Imelda Perfect Slimming
3 Day Diet

The FDA says these pills are available online and even in some retail stores:
An FDA analysis found that the undeclared active pharmaceutical ingredients in some of these products include sibutramine (a controlled substance), rimonabant (a drug not approved for marketing in the United States), phenytoin (an anti-seizure medication), and phenolphthalein (a solution used in chemical experiments and a suspected cancer causing agent). Some of the amounts of active pharmaceutical ingredients far exceeded the FDA-recommended levels, putting consumers’ health at risk.
