Assuming someone is eating healthy and exercising, what is the best diet pill to aid in weight loss?
As I said, I already do as much exercise as I can (long story) and actually eat below the recommended calories a day, and balanced meals. It’s not a case of lack of exercise or improper eating habits.

I can’t believe that lung cancer is the #2 killer of women here in the U.S. Second only to heart disease, which is understandable when you look at eating habits, weight, lack of exercise…but lung cancer when the total adult percentage is only 22%? I had seen on British news almost 2 yrs. ago that France has banned air fresheners (cans), plug-ins and the like because they found that prolonged exposure to these chemicals causes lung cancer. I know we have alot of pollution here along with God-knows-what in our food/water, but do you think the french know something we don’t? Has the FDA looked into this? Dana Reeves along with countless others have died of lung cancer w/o ever smoking. Are there any theories out there? I really don’t like giving kudos to the french, but I use these "smell good" products in my house daily and I believe that women, working outside the home or not, still spend more time in their homes than men do…..

I was just reading my local paper today and a study, commissioned by a "natural healthcare company" which promote a weight loss product, had some staggering results:

* Almost half said they feel self conscious [about their weight]
* 9 out of 10 women admit to having "fat days"
* 53% said they are uncomfortable being seen naked in front of their partners and 49% say they are uncomfortable undressing in a communal changing room because of their body shape
* Only 25% believed they are the perfect weight, 75% believing they are overweight. 77% of those blame lack of exercise and poor diet for being overweight
* 59% believe slim women tend to succeed more in both their personal and professional life
* 4 out of 10 say they diet constantly
* 81% said the ideal dress size is between 10 and 12

What do you think about this? Do you think it’s an accurate reflection of women’s opinion in general? And most importantly, do you think that these women are not overweight (defined as "more body fat than is optimally healthy") but are made to feel that way by our culture?
