First off, no, not everyone should be on these drugs, there are side effects as well as known drug interactions that can be dangerous and not everyone needs them. Second, please, please, please stop listing your BMI as if it were a definitive measure of health. To begin with it doesn't correlate well with actual percentage body fat because it doesn't differentiate between fat and muscle. Second, the study which created the BMI was based on a population sample from a single town and all participants were within 4 inches of each other in height, and nearly all were effectively average height with similar lean body masses. If your lean body mass does not conform to the expected range from that study, BMI cannot accurately determine if you are obese, skinny, a body builder or just tall/short. Finally, rapid weightloss is dangerous, and if you're eating fewer than 1k calories in a day while experiencing extreme fatigue and brain fog, you are more likely to be losing significant muscle mass than fat. This is may be extremely because your heart could be weakened, which could kill you. It's great that your cholesterol and overall weight is down, it's terrifying that you're eating so few calories while being unable to maintain enough physical activity to keep your body from canabilizing vital muscle tissues. |
