And one more thing. Before anyone jumps the board to go for short-cut methods to lose weight, a word of caution. A lot of these drugs are known to cause side effects in the long term, some of which include loss of libido, trembling hands and feet, etc. Most of such symptoms are discovered very late- about 15 to 20 years after the introduction of a drug. Take the example of birth control pills.
Damn. Just like old age.
