Obesity Pill !!!!!

Who says the only cure for obesity is self control? Another new drug for victims of over-eating called Belviq has been approved. Trouble is that it is associated with an average weight loss of 3% to 4% in clinical studies. Big whoop! It supposedly activates serotonin in the brain to help a person eat less and feel full AFTER eating. Note the words “after eating”. Trouble too is that it is part of an overall weight-management plan including a reduced calorie died and exercise. Big, big whoop whoop! We are coming full circle to the obvious fact that overeating causes obesity for which no drug, no study, no quick fix exists.
