While having breakfast with my family, my mom showcased a picture of my brother without his ‘excess luggage’ saying wistfully, “This is Raymond’s ideal image.” My brother, not embarrassed with his acquired fats chuckled and replied, “Maybe I should turn to drugs?”

It was a joke of course. But more and more people nowadays are becoming obese by the minute (especially this holiday season) that I do hope they do NOT turn to drugs. Not without consulting their physicians of course. Fat burners, weight loss pill and the likes can make you look good fast, but if not used properly, it may put your health and your future at stake. So before even attempting to lose weight, seek first the expert’s advice – your doctor.
