Before beginning any weight-loss, diet or exercise program you should consider the following:
1) You should consult your doctor before you begin any weight-loss, diet or exercise program. This is especially true if you are overweight, or suffer from a medical problem such as diabetes or heart disease.
2) Avoid crash diets and other rapid-weight-loss programs that drastically cut the number of calories you consume.
4) The only drugs you should use to lose weight should be prescription drugs, which are recommended by your doctor and used only for a short time.
5) Avoid diets that call for restricting fluid intake. This can lead to dehydration.
6) Using dieting aids that contain laxatives or diuretics will not lead to a significant weight loss, and may harm your body.
