Re "Few Signs of a Taste for Diet Pills" (Business Day, July 2):
Fat loss is a complicated issue, as indicated by the American Medical Association's labeling obesity as a disease. And though I appreciate that the article links excess weight, in part, to lifestyle factors, I take issue with the beliefs "of many doctors and obese people themselves" linking it to a lack of willpower.
For how many years have we lived with the phrase "You lack willpower"? It's time to eliminate this belief as well as other well-entrenched attitudes about fat loss.
Instead, individuals should insist that their doctors take time to discuss with them how issues such as thyroid function, adrenal fatigue, stress levels, toxins and hormonal balance can affect our weight. This approach is not as appealing as taking a fat-loss pill, but it is far more effective.
