Managing Your Diet To Lose Weight Is Not Dieting

With the ever changing lifestyles and growing amount of stressors, both on the workplace and at home, people find hardly any activities that help them to come out of their worries and anxiety. With the irregular eating habits and non-nutritious food, people are more and more becoming obese, thus opening doors to many other disorders.

So as obesity is becoming a commonplace disease, so is true with the burgeoning weight loss techniques and products available. Market now a days is flooded with them. Now and then you encounter a new technology that typically suits to your particular obesity problem. But a question to think about. Are they proper and complete obesity controller? Or something else can help you get a obese and fat free life?

The modest answer to the above question is NO. Of all the measures available to loose weight, following a proper, nutritious diet plan is very important. A good diet plan works as a more effective weight reducer. And you do not even find the need to spend a lot on it. Just a little more effort put in your eating habits and your dream of a perfect body is not away. The weight loss by following a proper diet plan is more rapid and efficient than those available in the market.

Following a proper diet plan does not in any ways means dieting. Dieting in a long run is not useful as while following it you miss on many of the important nutrients that are very important for a healthy mind and body. Dieting can even land you up some more serious forms of diseases. So never diet but follow a nutritious diet.

There are certain types of food that you should avoid eating most of the times. You should avoid taking the ones that contain more of carbohydrates, fats and are high on cholesterol levels. If you are not a regular exercising lover, the excess of these foods would accumulate in your body, taking the shape of obesity. By following a good exercising routine, obesity can be done away with. And once decided on all these things, stay firm and do not revert back to your usual lifestyle and eating habits.

A proper diet is an effective way of losing weight, but still not all weight loss programs and diets are helpful.

Rimonabant Proving To Be A Well Tolerated Antiobesity Diet Pill

Weight gain is becoming a common problem throughout the world. People seem to be struggling with excessive weight gain problems. If you are one of them and finding some truly healthy weight loss solutions to shed out those stubborn fats from your body then you must know the fact that there is no short cut. The fact is that you have to change your life style with more physical activity and less crappy eating. But dieticians suggest that if a diet pill is added to this changed life style then the goal for weight loss is somewhat quickly achieved. Not surprisingly, the growing prevalence of obesity has stimulated the search for drugs like Rimonabant to fight against obesity.

Rimonabant is an anorectic anti-obesity drug. It works by suppressing our appetite making the stomach feel full. It is a cannabinoid receptor antagonist which blocks a special type of receptors called the CB1 receptors found in the nervous system. On the other hand, it is found that it also acts as smoking cessation agent. It is developed from the knowledge that cannabis smokers often experience extreme hunger ripples. So, researchers worked on the premise that if cannabinoid stimulates appetite, blocking cannabinoid receptors in the brain might control the smoking urge found in smokers. Hence it is said that Rimonabant can be very effective in controlling one’s smoking habit.


Though a new entrant in the weight loss market, it is creating waves for its dual nature and efficacy. Besides, no serious adverse effects are detected till date. Rimonabant was generally found to be tolerated. The most common adverse effect of this drug is nausea. Clinical trials are also going on in patients with diabetes and cardio vascular disease. Till now no adverse effects came under considerations.

Researches are going on to get it approved from FDA. Though approved as an effective weight loss drug in many countries, but it is waiting for the “smoking cessation” approval. But it is sure that in this prevailing market of obesity, Rimonabant will emerge as an effective and well tolerated antiobesity diet pill.


Rimonabant is the brand name for Acomplia. It is regarded as the future weight loss drug. Apart from acting as an antagonist for weight loss, it also plays a critical role in stopping one’s urge for smoking. Comparatively, no serious adverse affects are till tested till now and is found to be very mild and modest in its action.
