Diets can turn tragic

Another great diet tip from Lynda Cleary

Diets Can Turn Tragic With today's emphasis on being thin, some of us are willing to put our bodies through any horrors to lose weight. Unfortunately, these quick fixes can turn tragic. - Liposuction is becoming more common despite reports that one in every 5,000 patients may die because of blood clots that reach the brain. - Diet pills can also cause death and/or heart problems. Fen-Phen, the supposedly safe diet pill, has resulted in thousands of lawsuits by families who lost loved ones and former users who now have heart-valve damage. - Eating disorders anorexia and bulimia have a mortality rate of 10 to 20 percent for the 8,000,000 men and women who suffer from them. - Herbal supplements that promise weight loss sometimes contain herbs like Ephedra, which may take on the properties of amphetamines. The FDA has received many complaints from users of this chemical and some deaths are even suspected. Your desire to lose weight should be for your own health and well being, not for the rest of the world. Slow, safe weight loss under the guidance of your physician is best. If losing weight endangers your health or life, then you know something is wrong. Protect your body, don't abuse it. - Lynda Cleary from emazing
