    Raymond Wayne Whitted MD, MPH, FACOG …dedicated to safe, state-of-the-art surgery and health life-styles for women of all ages …because quality is an experience! www.drwhitted.net The Skinny on Weight Loss Supplements: Fact or Fantasy? Introduction Nowadays, it seems as though most Americans are trying to lose weight, and for good reason: about 97 million Americans are overweight or obese.[1] These patients have increased risk of all-cause mortality, as well as increased morbidity from hypertension, dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, stroke, gallbladder disease, osteoarthritis, sleep apnea, and other respiratory problems, as well as certain malignancies, such as cancers of the endometrium, prostate, and breast.[1] The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute and the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Disease published guidelines for the treatment of overweight and obese adults.[1] These recommendations are intended for patients with a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30, or ≥ 27 with obesity-related risk factors or diseases present. The guidelines recommend initial lifestyle modifications, including a reduced-calorie diet of 500-1000 calories per day, increased physical activity, and behavioral therapy. If these changes fail to produce a result in 6 months, approved pharmacotherapy is recommended as an adjunct in high-risk patients. Prescription medications approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for weight loss include: sibutramine (Meridia, by Abbott Laboratories), which inhibits the reuptake of serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine; orlistat (Xenical, by Roche Laboratories Inc.), a reversible inhibitor of gastric and pancreatic lipase; and phentermine, an adrenergic medication.[2] Less commonly prescribed drugs include diethylpropion, benzphetamine, and phendimetrazine.
