Weight Loss and Diet

In the context of physical health, weight loss is the process of losing body weight, usually by losing fat. To achieve healthy weight loss, most experts recommend a combination of healthy eating patterns and regular physical exercise. Some people try to lose weight by using drugs such as fenfluoramine, nicotine or cocaine (see Anti-obesity drugs), herbs such as ephedra, or surgery such as liposuction.

However, joining a Health Club or committing to regular exercise, combined with a healthy diet free of unnecessary carbohydrates, fat and sugar is far healthier and less expensive than costly surgery or expensive 'miracle diet pills'.
