How To Reduce Excessive Body Fat?
I am on Gabapentin, celexa, and percocet for arachnoiditis and have gained weight. I wanted to know what kind of weight loss pills I can take to help me jump start my diet and lose weight. I used to take CF24 from Supplement Superstores to help me jump start my diet and I didn t know if it was safe to take that again

Hi,
To reduce body weight diet modification,exercise and habits play major role and relying on drugs will not solve the problem. To reduce weight you need to:
Limit the intake of carbohydrate and fat rich diet. Try omega three fatty acid containing oil in diet and reduce consumption of oils in diet. Take light meals in intervals. Limit the intake of meat based products, junk foods but increase the fiber based foods in diet like green leafy vegetables, fruits.
Avoid caffeine containing beverages or limit their intake. Have the habit of morning walk and take daily light exercise for 30 to 60 minutes. Though drugs like stains can be taken but better is to focus on life style change than drugs.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
