It’s that time of year, we try just about everything to lose weight. Diet and exercise work for some, while others may try diet pills to shed the pounds. But there’s a BIG warning out about one. Brazilian diet pills marketed under the brand name Emagrece Sim are selling better than hot cakes over the internet. The makers claim you can lose 20 pounds or more in just three weeks. But some Americans who have taken these pills have failed drug tests and been fired from their jobs because the pills contained amphetamines or tranquilizers–which are illegal for non-prescription products and dangerous for persons with some medical conditions.
If you’re looking for more of a traditional approach to diet and exercise, our Walk Fit program at Northpark Mall may be your best bet. Just sign up, pick your time and you can literally walk while you shop. For more information or to sign up, call St. John’s Referral One at 625-2000
