Do diet pills really work?
Various ads promoting diet pills do not tell you the whole truth behind the hype of these so-called weight loss remedies. Unfortunately, many companies producing these pills are quite successful in hiding facts that may otherwise force you think twice before buying the products.
But whether diet pills are marketed as artificial or natural, you must check the content as well as the efficacy professed by the companies producing them, and then weigh these claims based on recent medical findings.
While the urge to buy diet pills because of the promise of quick results may take over your more careful judgment, please consider the following facts:
- After taking the diet pills, you may shed off some pounds, but may gain weight afterwards once the intake of the product ceases;
- Majority of the pills, although proven effective, are sold with a caveat that you undertake a lower-calorie diet and an exercise program. On hindsight, these are going to help you lose weight even without the pills;
- And since supplements aren't well regulated in general, the amount of active ingredients in diet pills can differ from one product to another.
Check with your physician
Consulting your doctor before using any medicine or diet pill, in particular, is a must. There lurks the possibility of numerous side effects, some of which may be fatal.
Better still, be cautious of the following diet pills:
- Bontril,
- hoodia gordonii weight loss pills (hoodia weight loss pills),
- zantrex diet pills,
- propolene weight loss pills
- or any less known wonder diet pills from Europe .
In Asia , specifically China , health officials warn that the compound N-nitroso enfluramine in some pills can cause liver failure.
If your severe weight problems persist even with use of other products listed on this site, talk to your doctor about using prescription weightloss drugs. Although these are powerful drugs that may also have side effects, they can control appetite and reduce weight under proper medical supervision.
It's also important for your doctor to know if you have thyroid problems, so the physician can prescribe different medications. Other hormone deficiencies, such as DHEA or testosterone, which can also add some pounds and prevent difficulty in losing weight, can be tested and helped determine if medication is needed.
Fat burners
There are supplements, though, that can help regulate appetite and burn fat in various ways. The term to describe "fat burning" or the creation of heat from the stored energy that is fat is thermogenesis .
Three compounds constitute the base ingredients of the most successful fat burners on the market. Mixed together to form a �stack�, they produce a fat-burning synergy positive results have been verified and recorded.
Three ingredients of fat burners:
- The main ingredient common in most successful products is mahuang/ephedra, or an herb known for its five-thousand-year history of use. A conference sponsored by the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Women's Health presented evidence, among them trial studies (both at Columbia and Harvard Universities ), supporting the intake of up to 90 milligrams of ephedra daily as safe and effective aid for weight control.
- The secondary ingredient (for the purposes of fat burning) is caffeine, usually taken from the guarana nut.
- The third ingredient important for fat burning is white willow bark/salicin extract.
