A member asked:

How long does it take to see the difference on a weight loss programme?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: Upon how much you restrict your diet and how much you increase your activity. It takes 3500 calories to gain or lose a pound. You need a nutritional and exercise program you can follow the rest of your life. See a registered dietitian, don't get your medical information from friends, tv or the internet.

Can I see a GP and et prescription medication to assist with weight loss. I am obese and need assist because normal diets aren't working. I have SLE and take a load of prescription medication so I am scared to just take over the counter diet pills. ?
