The second indicator is the waist circumference, which describes the level of visceral fatness (fat in the stomach) compared with total body fat (proportion of body fat). The third indicator is the history of someone’s health, which of course becomes an important indicator which is become a risky factor for this person.

Wrong Myths About Weight Loss

Weight LossGive me just one kind of powerful drug then I would be thin and beautiful like ‘Cinderella‘. Is it true? If indeed there is one kind of magic drug that makes people immediately become thin, it means that the percentage of patients with obesity and overweight problem in developed countries like USA, and Australia is 0%. Because the research centers and most of the drugs that are sold in Indonesia are ideas and imported products from the developed countries.

In fact, until now, USA and Australia are among the countries that still fight against obesity. You just find all the health publications about obesity in those countries, then you will be more convinced that obesity is a matter of life-style to each person. Or maybe we should ask, why is that famous singer like Madonna that with her income can buy expensive slimming drugs, is choosing to live healthy with diet and exercise. With higher drug dose, my success could be higher suppose I have been given higher drug dose, I will become slim faster.

Is it true? Ask at your self first, whether the beneficial effect of the drug is higher than its side effect? Find out first, how does the drug work on you? High dose of drug is not always guarantee you will become slim faster. Instead, ask how serious did you manage your diet and embrace a healthy lifestyle. Or ask yourself, are you ready to live healthier without the help of a high dose of the drug?
