- Obesity is a disease that everyone tries to avoid

Obesity is a disease that everyone tries to prevent, some succeed while others keep trying. In order to get rid of obesity, where diet and exercise are essential, medicines can also be taken.
To attract customers in need of weight reduction, organizations make targeted advertisements marketed through banners and prompts in public to social media. Often pamphlets are distributed at the intersections to take so-and-so medicine and lose weight. But do these medicines reduce weight or not? Health experts say that you can take as many medicines as you want but there is no possibility of losing weight unless you take care of your diet intake and exercise.

Visit markets, and watch ads on TV or social media where fanciful claims are made to lose weight by sprinkling ‘powder’ in your food. Apply almond-scented cream on your thighs and make them thin. Just put two drops under the tongue and lose weight daily. These are some of the claims which may look and/or sound promising but the reality is quite contrary. Apart from Pakistan, there has been such a case of weight loss fraud in the US as well, which was also prosecuted in court. Four pharmaceutical companies were contested in court in the US for making similar fraudulent claims.
Home remedies and tips are even used to help in weight loss. But how to really lose it? In this regard, there are many tips and medicines, although some may be good not all are. Alongside, them it is very important to exercise and diet.
If you continue to consume weight loss medicines without consulting a doctor after seeing a promising advertisement, then it will not be of any use. In fact, many medicines can also cause harm. Learn to accept reality instead of falling for flattering claims, those who have to sell their products make big claims and make so many claims that people believe their lies to be true, and when their product is used, the result is zero – because they are only selling their products by making appealing claims and ads.

If someone says to lose weight without dieting or exercise, use this medicine and lose weight, just take this pill to lose weight, lose ten kilos in thirty days, then it will not happen at all.
There is no way to lose weight without a good diet and exercise. Fast weight loss pills are just scams. Fraudsters tell false stories and use social media, and websites to rob consumers by selling their medicine. Sometimes fraudsters will also use the logo of a well-known company to sell their medicine so that it cannot be recognized. It’s also a trick of online weight loss drug sellers to post their own comments under their ads in which people say yes, the drug helped them lose weight, even though the comments are from the company’s own employees – and they are lies.
In the city of Karachi, Pakistan, a consumer appealed to the court over selling a fake weight loss medicine. The court also fined the doctor. Abdul Jabbar Laghari, a citizen who bought the diet plan, submitted a petition against the doctor in the Consumer Court.

According to the text of the application submitted in the Consumer Court, in September 2022, Abdul Jabbar Laghari bought a diet plan for his mother from a doctor. The full amount of the diet plan was also paid Rs. 38,000/-. According to the petitioner, the doctor had given a guarantee to lose 10 kg weight in a month, however, the mother’s stomach started to suffer from the diet plan. Despite the complaint, the money was not returned. After the decision on the application, in the case of a citizen who bought a diet plan, Dr. Nida submitted a fine of two and a half lakh rupees to the court.
It is essential to have an in-depth understanding that while businesses promote ‘quick fixes’ what we really need is a better perception of how weight works. Weight loss is not possible without consistent effort through exercise and diet control, and though we can manage to maintain our health after weight loss it greatly depends on maintaining the adopted lifestyle and behavioral changes. Moreover, while some products may be helpful, they are not to be taken as “one-size-fits-all” because everyone has different circumstances, habits, and health concerns. This is why if you want to lose weight, stop taking unnecessary medicines. Visit a reliable doctor and ask him/her to guide you about your diet plan and exercise to lose weight effectively. Otherwise, you will continue to regret your decisions while there will be little to no change in your weight.
