The ITV Evening News had a report this evening stating that the number of people taking prescription weight loss tablets has increased dramatically during the past year. Why is so much of OUR money being wasted by the NHS on gastric band operations and slimming tablets when the way to lose weight is quite simple. WILL POWER. Eat less food and do more exercise. Two years ago my husband decided that he had to lose weight which had gradually accumulated during the previous ten years. He very carefully considered what he was eating, cut out a number of foods and started to do more exercise. He lost three stone of weight in six months or so and has maintaned his new weight since that time. He regularly weights himself to make sure the weight is not going back on and by being careful with what he eats, is able to have some food treats from time to time. I appreciate that a small minority of people do have extreme difficulty in losing weight but surely the majority who want to lose weight can do this for themselves without having to waste valuable public resources.

Eating too much leads to being overweight, plain and simple. Whilst it is true that some individuals do not enjoy the luxury of being able to "eat anything" without putting on weight, the principle is the same. Consume too many calories = weight gain. Work off excess weight through exercise? Forget it. Twenty minutes on a treadmill to lose 80 calories? One small cupcake equals 280 calories. Blunt advice: stop stuffing face.
