Serious diets do not advertise customer success within a few days. A long-term, successful diet should last for at least 12 months and be accompanied by a nutritionist, nutritionist, dietician, diet therapist, sports therapist and psychologist or educator. This is the opinion of the Association of German Nutritionists, the Association of Dieticians and the Association Mobilis in a joint statement.

The experts point out that the effectiveness of the chosen diet should necessarily be proven by scientific studies. In addition, the sale of weight loss products such as shakes or tablets in connection with a diet is dubious. Only last year, the State Office of Investigation (LUA) Rhineland-Palatinate warned against dangerous diet pills from China. You could „in the worst case harmful to health“ be, explained the LUA. The diet wonder drug „Xi You Su“ contain high concentrations of the medicinal product sibutramine, which is not authorized in the EU. The customs office Trier-Ehrang therefore ensured 645 capsules.

More than 16 million people in Germany are affected by obesity
In Germany, more than 16 million people are overweight according to recent estimates. Obesity affects more and more children. More than two billion people worldwide are obese or overweight. This recently reported the British journal „The Lancet“ in an editorial last August. The authors point out that overweight and obesity are more dangerous to health worldwide than smoking. While the international community has adopted a framework convention on tobacco to reduce the health consequences, there are no comparable rules for the control of overweight and obesity. Overweight and obesity promote the development of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and lipid metabolism disorders. (Ag)
