Gotta keep the gravy train rolling.
Obesity? The cure has been found.
I use coffee, Diet Coke and cigarettes.
Seems to work...
"fast, pounding, or uneven heartbeats;
decreased blood pressure (feeling light-headed, fainting);
tremor, restlessness, hallucinations, unusual behavior, or motor tics (muscle twitches); or
dangerously high blood pressure (severe headache, blurred vision, buzzing in your ears, anxiety, confusion, chest pain, shortness of breath, seizure).
Less serious side effects may include:
loss of appetite, weight loss;
sleep problems (insomnia);
nausea, vomiting, stomach pain; feeling irritable; mild skin rash; or
dry mouth or an unpleasant taste in your mouth".
Okay so it cuts your appetite and maybe you lose weight, but then you can't sleep so now you need a downer, Oh yeah sign me up. Another miracle drug that might cure you, unless it kills you. And what happens when you stop taking it, do you go back to binge eating?
No thanks. I discovered something strange, not sure what it could be but I can guess. I decided to make a soup recipe that I saw. The soup contained chicken, carrots, cabbage and red potatoes. I boiled the chicken (I prefer Wings) along within the carrots . Then later I tossed in the cabbage and potatoes (diced into small squares). Then I tossed in 1 Basil leaf, but for some reason I wanted more flavor so I added like 7 leaves. Let it boil until cabbage and potatoes are cooked - then serve. Having 7 leaves did not over power the chicken soup but it all equally blended perfectly.
I notice after eating the soup in a very small bowl, I felt very filled and satisfy. I had no need to snack in between meals. I have been making this soup a lot more and notice I do not snack. It leaves me filling full for several hours. My doctor thinks because it is a high fiber meal. I suspect it is the Basil, who knows but it seems that Basil has a natural appetite suppressant I later learned. Who knows but I find it weird that I no longer have a desire to snack after eating this soup. No way would I want to take drugs to cure something only to have another issue pop up.
Many years ago, I knew several women who took their sons’ ADHD a meds for weight control. One of them loved the pills because they could get so much work done and lose weight at the same time. They were all crazy IMO. If you have ever seen children on this med and watched them at meal time, it is enlightening and depressing. They don’t eat. :(
