An experimental diet pill by drug company Arena sadly is showing in lab tests on rats that it is causing tumors, meaning that it is not going to be considered safe for human consumption (duh).  This is one of many new diet drugs that have failed tests of safety as well as tests of effectiveness, which is supposed to make people lose about 5% more of their body weight with the help of the drug versus placebo alone.

What I find most disturbing is that there was no mention that this drug was not going to be, under any circumstances, approved for circulation. But I’m sure that’s gotta be the case, especially since the drug, called Lorcaserin, did not even fulfill fully the requirement that it cause a 5% more weight loss in subjects that were obese and taking the drug as opposed to those that were on a placebo.

A few other diet drugs that were proposed to go to market in the desperate void of safe diet drugs that work to both suppress appetite and help people burn fat better, were also declined for dispensation after years in development and high hopes for their approval due to other safety issues.

It seems that we really don’t have any other options other than some great herbal diet supplements that are always at our disposal for appetite suppression and good old fashioned patience and discipline in what we eat as well as how often and how hard we exercise.

That’s always going to work. There are unfortunately no easy ways out for great weight loss and optimal health, not without serious consequences at least. In the end, it’s all up to you and your fitness level as well as your ability to eat the right foods as to what you will look and feel like for the rest of your life. That’s why we must make the right choices today and tomorrow on what we eat and how we choose to live our lives.
