NHS Choices advice about how to reduce obesity

REDUCING CALORIES DOES NOT REDUCE OBESITY! - You better believe it! - Obesity is not caused by overeating. It is caused by fluid retention, frequently because of taking prescribed medications, especially steroids such as prednisolone, prednisone and HRT, and anti-depressants such as amitriptyline. (When doctors prescribe drugs that cause sodium retention and water retention they should warn the patient not to eat salt, or food containing salt, while taking the medication. When they do not give this warning, the inevitable consequence is considerable weight gain.) - See Huge weight gains reported by patients on prescription drugs - Independent on Sunday - Researchers are beginning to catch up with what I have been explaining for years!

Read here about the groups of people who are vulnerable to salt: vulnerable groups

Obesity can be easily reduced by seriously reducing your salt/sodium intake and eating plenty of fruit and fresh vegetables. - It is important not to restrict calories. - 'Slimming' or 'dieting' is unnecessary, ineffective and often harmful.

Hewitt launches new NHS website

NHS launches one-stop-shop website - Telegraph

Extract:

"A new NHS website for patients will be launched by Health Secretary Patricia Hewitt today.
NHS Choices will act as a "one stop shop" for the public, offering details on conditions and access to treatments as well as ratings on hospital waiting times, cleanliness and re-admission rates.

Patients will be able to book hospital appointments from their own home and give online feedback on their treatment and experiences, which will allow others to see "reviews" of NHS service providers.

Multi-media guides on the 40 most common NHS procedures are also expected to feature.
The site is designed to help the public live healthier lives."
