As parents we don't take the idea of weight loss drugs and teens lightly. But, if your teenager is obese and you need something that will help them start along a healthier path, isn't it worth it?
I'm not a doctor and only your doctor can provide you with bona fide medical advice, but as a parent I would balance the pros and cons and proceed with the advice of my doctor.
For example, if my child was only mildly overweight, say between 20 -50 lbs. I would probably encourage them to lose weight in a more natural way. I would tell them how to eat better and encourage them to get more exercise.
Actually, that is exactly what I did when my child needed to lose weight. I worked out with him (though he only wanted to go when there was no one at the gym so we went to workout at midnight!).
But it was good for him to see his mom working out too. And though he would never admit it, I think he really appreciated the motivation and the fact that I was willing to go with him.
If your teen is hundreds of pounds overweight, though, you may need something a little more drastic. Weight loss takes time and anyone who tries to tell you different is lying (or trying to sell you something or both). Since it takes time it can seem overwhelming and it may make your teen reluctant to even start.
Any short term solution that can help them start to see results more quickly may be necessary to help your teen succeed in their weight loss goals.
It's important for the success of your teen getting in shape that they approach this process with realistic expectations and time frames.
It will only discourage them if they think they will have a certain result in a certain time frame and they don't achieve that goal.
But, seeing even small results may help them stay motivated and encourage them to keep going. And that is where supplements may be able to come in.
Some supplements that can help your teen kick start their weight loss and allow them to see some results fairly quickly (even if it is just water weight) might still be enough to keep them motivated and moving forward.
So, if you want to help your teen get in better shape, either try to do it yourself by encouraging more exercise and better eating habits, or talk to you doctor about some sort of supplements.
Weight loss drugs and teens may not be an ideal combination but in some cases it may just be the lesser or two evils.
