Keeping a check on what you eat does help in your bid to lose extra weight, but only if it is done through a camera lens, says a new research of dieters eating habits which compared the effect of written food diaries with taking a snapshot of each meal.

Treatment of obesity among adolescents poses a challenge to health care professionals and is often unsuccessful. Though behavior modification, diet, and exercise are the keys, only 1 in 5 obese children succeed in achieving the desired weight loss. 4 The consideration of comorbidities causes a dilemma for physicians who must decide on the most appropriate treatment strategy for morbid obesity among adolescents. 6 One approach has been the prescription of weight loss drugs. Sibutramine and Orlistat are medications that have been used to try to help obese adolescents lose weight, but these drugs often result in only modest weight loss and can have significant side effects. Possible side effects of Sibutramine, an appetite suppressant, include headache, constipation, heartburn, back pain, flu-like symptoms, and painful menstrual periods.
