Hydroxycut Diet Pill vs Cigarettes
July 16th, 2009. By janem
If I want to lose weight, I figure that smoking would get the same result as Hydroxycut. Cigarettes and Hydroxycut have a few things in common: they speed up your metabolism, they are appetite suppressants and they are extremely dangerous to your health.
When I quit smoking years ago, I gained 15 pounds. It took some time, but I got rid of the excess weight by exercise and good eating habits. Many people choose a “quick fix” to shed pounds even though it’s common knowledge that diet pills don’t work. In fact they are downright dangerous; remember Fen-phen? It was recalled for contributing to fatal heart valve damage.
But diet pills are extremely popular and no wonder; according to the FDA, about 120 million Americans are overweight and 54 million are obese. And getting back to ciggies, while smoking is on the decline, overweight and obesity statistics are rapidly rising and obesity is the second most devastating avoidable cause of premature death in the US after tobacco. So can diet drugs save lives by curbing obesity? Doubtful.
Not only can diet pills deprive the body of essential nutrients, some pills can do irreversible damage such as Hydroxycut, which is known to cause liver damage and more. And more often than not, people just gain weight back—if the diet pills haven’t caused serious damage otherwise beforehand. Ask your doctor; the only way to lose weight is good old exercise and eating healthy foods.
