It seems to me that there is a new wonder diet pill announced every other week, but the causes of over-eating should be seriously looked at before trying to remedy weight problems with medication.
There are a number of underlying reasons for someone being overweight, and only those that are not psychological should be treated with medication. After all, if you are overweight through overeating because you are unhappy, taking a pill won't take away the reason for the overeating.
Taking a pill when there are unaddressed underlying issues means that until the issues are resolved, you must continue with the pills indefinitely.
The aim of a diet is surely to reach a target weight and maintain that weight into the future - the only realistic way to achieve this is to alter your lifestyle in terms of what you consume and the exercise that you do.
