[edit] Supplements
What about supplements that aren't appetite suppressants but affect the body's metabolic rate (eg [1])? Rd232 talk 15:35, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Cleanup
I added a cleanup tag to this article because the phrasing needs serious work. I started to clean it up myself but I went insane. --Captaindan 20:58, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Removed some parts
I tried to rewrite this the best I could. I did delete some parts that I considered more like part of a "how do lose weight" guide than an encyclopedic article. I added some new information too. This article still needs a lot of citations for its medical claims though.--Wood Thrush 03:07, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Exteral link recommendation
To the editors: I just wanted to recommend http://loseweight.yourhealthonline.info as a possible external link. The website discusses a variety of weight loss methods, including their benefits, risks, and expert opinions.
[edit] expanding Intentional weight loss
"Other methods of losing weight include use of drugs that decrease appetite," should be changed to "Other methods of losing weight include use of drugs and nutritional supplements that decrease appetite, block fat absorption, fat replacement, or reduce stomach volume,"
Examples can refer to anorectics, recombinant PYY 3-36, Hoodia Gordonii, Olestra, etc. Libertate
[edit] Remove non WP:EL References links
Some of the references point to short write ups on research. Per WP:EL, it should point to the actual research not the write up on the research. Libertate 23:16, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Valarch keeps on adding spam to this page
Valarch keeps on putting back the following links: eatsprouts.com/blend/energy.html and eatsprouts.com/blend/green.html in the following section:
Raw vegetables are low in calories, high in nutrient density. Eating high quantities in blended or liquid form is a way to consume fewer calories and enjoy a feeling of satiation as body cells receive the nutrients they need. Popular blending recipes include Energy Soup – provides a very low-calorie liquid protein diet – and Green Smoothies, a blend of fruit and green leafy vegetables.
Most of his contributions to wikipedia contains a link to that eatsprouts site...
Is there a way to stop him/her from using wikipedia to promote what is most probably his personal bussiness?
