The BBC website has reported on the comments made by Professor Tony Leeds, an obesity management specialist from Central Middlesex Hospital.

The professor warns that ” Obesity could cost countries trillions in ill health and corrective surgery, and that for many, the problem is so large that it’s too late for focusing on prevention.”

The article by the BBC also reports that the UK’s obesity problem has grown so much that nearly a million obese Britons may be eligible for for weight- reduction surgery. However, the surgery such as gastric banding costs up to around £10,000 per person.

If you are considering drastic weight loss measures why not try something more natural such as Zotrim, one of the UK’s leading weight loss herbal diet pills. Zotrim reduces your appetite and has been proven in medical trials and was recently featured in the Daily Mail.
