Weight Loss

With slimming pills gaining popularity among teeny-boppers, a new form of addiction seems to be catching on along with health problems like bulimia and anorexia. Several figure-conscious teenagers are being treated for this addiction at the Vidyasagar Institure for Mental Health and Neurosciences (VIMHANS). A large number of school and college students have already been brought for treatment at the institute’s out-patient department. Aiming to achieve model-like hour-glass figures, the children consume up to four slimming pills a day.

People with such increased numbers of fat cells are thought to be more liable to obesity than those with normal numbers.
