Hi, I'm 44 years old and I have a problem with obesity which is following me for years now. I have been on different kinds of diets and medications to try to lose weight but none of them were successful, I didn’t lose a ounce. In most attempts I would lose a couple of lbs and then after the diet is over or after I stop taking the medication the pounds were back again. I have heard that this new medication against epilepsy called Tomamax can also be affective in weight loss. Is that true and are there any side effects?

Tomamax is a brand used in some parts of the world for marketing of the drug generically known as Topiramate. In different countries it is sold under different trade marks so it is possible that the same medication is under different names. Its main purpose and the main aim is to treat the patients with epilepsy attacks, and the recent studies have shown that it could also be effective against the attacks of migraines. It is widely recognized as the new generation of antiepileptic medications. Although it can help certain people many serious faults and side effect have been noticed. One of the m is the loss of weight in all patients who are treated with Tomamax. So the loss of weight, actually the loss of appetite, is a side effect of the medication, and Tomamax shouldn’t be used as a medication for losing weight, since it can cause serious physiological and psychological disorders in patients. If you’re still considering taking Tomamax it is very important to consult your doctor about that.

weight gains is almost always caused by a combination of the Poor diet(high in calories and simple carbohydrates) and inactivity. Side deffects of pharmaceutical medications also the factors taking into account.

If possible, get regular moderate exercise. Walking and similar activies are good. Moderate exercise helps in the assimilation of nutrients and in increasing the appetite. Avoid strenuous exercise.
Your best bet for health and weight loss is to focus on eating foods that fresh, whole, and nutritionally dense. Make sure you get enough protein every day. Otherwise, you’ll feel deprived and downright hungry. Whole, complex carbohydrate, like brown rice, whole-grain bread, and oats are necessary for a healthful eating plan. They’re also high in fiber, which helps you feel full and keeps you free of toxins. Essential fatty acids are good for you, use EFAs in moderation. Eat food that are high in tryptophan－turkey, chicken, tuna, soymilk and live unsweetened yogurt. This chemical encourages the production of serotonin and may stave off cravings. Vegetable juice is healthful and filling. Water also takes the edge off your hunger. Eat a balanced ratio of the major food groups. Eat more small, regular meals. Do not skip meals, particularly breakfast.
If you’re trying to lose weight, you first priority should be to reduce or, better to eliminate refined sugar from your diet. Avoid processed and junk food. Refined flours are leaving you with nothing but a plate full of calories. You must radically cut back on your consumption of “bad” fats.
