There’s a diet called 1:1/Cambridge 1:1 that’ll have you lose as much as 2 stone in a month if you follow it through but it’s not easy to abide by. Then there’s this drug called topiramate which is mostly used for things like migraine, seizures and alcoholism but is prescribed off-label for weight loss (more-so in America than in the U.K., tbh) because that’s just one of the side effects. And people can lose loads and loads of topiramate (as much as 100 pounds in 3 months) but it comes with all sorts of weird side-effects that aren’t so desirable so it just couldn't be handed out like candy for that. Doctors in this part of the world at least would rather you had another reason for needing to take topiramate than you just want to lose weight.

Interesting information.

Tbh, I try not to take Drug Medication, unless I'm in a really bad way.

And the potential side-effects to Topiramate don't sound like my kind of thing personally.
