Overweight? There's A Pill For That!


             Jenny Craig, Weight  Watchers, and now an over-the-counter pill; Wonder what these three have in common? They all exist as cures for weight loss. On June 2, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the drug, Belviq, or lorcaserin hydrochloride, which should treat chronic weight gain.  
            The FDA will target overweight and obese adults who have weight-induced  medical problems. Scientists warns that the users should pair the drug with a low caloric diet and to expect modest results. For more information on the weight loss pill check out CNN’s interview with Dr. Melina Jampolis, diet and fitness expert.
