Diet Pill Discussion with SK Srinivas-Part II

by

According to Srinivas, the herbal expert I talked to, obesity has deeper roots.â€?Obesity is a complex medical condition and there are several causative factors, like lifestyle, heredity,and endocrine function. Like any other medical condition, obesity needs medical attention. It is important to first consult a qualified medical professional to diagnose the root cause of the obesity, before deciding on what course of action to take.”

Srinivas continues,”In the case of caralluma, there is no incontrovertible evidence that it directly contributes to weight-loss. Only two clinical trials have been conducted(by the manufacturers of this product) and there has been no independent trial. The results of these sponsored trials show some interesting trends, but are not conclusive.”

The published clinical data on caralluma mentions that it can potentially cause gastric disturbances and similar adverse effects. There is considerable skepticism about caralluma fimbriata extract as a weight loss promoting agent. This is relevant when one
learns that Hoodia has fallen out of favor, due to concerns about its safety and efficacy.

“I for one wouldn’t resort to a herbal product like Caralluma fimbriata. Certainly it is no substitute for sensible lifestyle choices like diet and exercise.�, says Srinivas.

Coming from a herbal expert, that closes one weight loss avenue!

    It seems to me what we know about weight loss as a society would fill a thimble.

    There are too many factors, besides what we eat, that contribute to weight gain. Hormones, food additives, genetic factors as well as others, play a significant role in weight gain.

    An culture that sustains itself mostly on farming, as what the United States used to be in the 1800’s had less of a problem because foods were whole and natural, for the most part, and people had a greater level of physical activity to sustain.

    To tell people who work the greatest part of their day sitting in an office to go out an exercize seems sensible, but it ignores the fact that by the time people get home they are simply too tired to sustain rigorous physical activity.

    To tell people to eat less, ignores the fact that most of the foods in our food supply have additives that work to defeat weight loss. And if you are poor, it is even harder because the foods that are available to you affordably are mainly starches and sugars.

    For older people coping with the natural slowing of metabolism and hormones, losing weight is a nearly a nightmare, as there is no sensible help to be gotten from health care professionals.

    If something works for you, and you take it sensibly, I would do it. If it doesn’t , stop and find something else.
