Q:
Hello!
I am wondering about the patches for weight loss that are out. I know that the pills are bad, are the patches bad too? I am dying to lose some weight but have no time to work out!
I tried looking to see if you had already answered this question but I didn't see it so hopefully you aren't having to repeat this! :)
A:
There are all sorts of "weight loss" patches out that are not regulated nor FDA approved. You don't mention which you are interested in but the simple fact there is no *easy* way to lose weight aside from burning more calories than you consume. The approved medications all have significant side effects and so do the unapproved/unregulated ones.
Jill Kelly, the dietician at the Health Center and Rec Center is available for free consultation about a weight loss and workout plan that makes sense for your schedule and teaches classes that may be of interest to you.
