Evaluate a Weight Loss Program in Five Steps

Be sure to ask about any potential side effects or risks that a weight loss plan may pose. Check with your doctor before you take weight-loss pills, even if they are over the counter. Dietary supplements should also be reviewed with your doctor as she is aware of all medications you take and potential interactions. Never participate in a weight-loss program that promotes questionable activities such as fasting, purging, or over-using laxatives.
