There are millions of obese adults worldwide. Men tend to fall into the overweight Body Mass Index category, whilst there are more women classed as obese with a BMI of 30 or higher.

Being overweight or suffering from obesity can lead to many serious and even fatal diseases, and increases the risk of premature death.
Being overweight can also be a severe psychological and emotional stress factor for many, which can lead to the person suffering from poor social skills and social isolation, lack of positive self-image, depression, eating disorders such as bulimia nervosa, alcoholism, discrimination at work and in social environments, lack of libido and any zest or enjoyment of life.

Diet pills are a positive step that help those that are struggling with their weight to achieve positive results and lose weight safely.

Reductil/Meridia (Sibutramine) diet pills are indicated for the management of obesity, including weight loss and maintenance of weight loss.
Unlike other weight loss diet pills, Reductil is effective in long term use and helps in losing 10% fat over the time. Reductil is a neurotrasmitter that enables users to lose weight by transmitting signals which make the body believe that the stomach is full and hence reducing the craving for food.

A 12 month study showed that 77% of all Reductil patients achieved at least a 5% loss of their initial body weight at the 12 month mark. There have been no differences noted between weight loss amounts or rate for males compared to females; it appears to be mostly a consistent figure.

But it is important to understand that Reductil is not designed or recommended to be taken alone, a combined plan involving increased activity and exercise plus a low-fat, healthy diet is required to get the most benefit from Reductil. So whilst Reductil will help you to cope with eating less by making you feel full after eating and lessening hunger pangs and cravings, it is not a quick fix, and a commitment to a healthier lifestyle is needed to successfully lose and keep off excess fat. When used in this way, Reductil is an effective medication that really works for the majority of users.
