Call them prescription fat burners, prescription weight loss drugs or prescription diet pills; they’re all the same thing. They tend to make you lose weight and you need a Doctor’s prescription to get them. The fact that a Doctor has to sign for them gives many people the impression that these things are powerful.

This is due to our foot hitting the floor with the stress of our bodyweight behind it. The more overweight you are, that harder this shockwave is on your knees. How hard? Well, there is a mathematical explanation…

My mind immediately went to the chain of ‘for dummies’ books at the local book store, which are actually pretty good. I just assumed it was a short-lived copycat marketing ploy.
