Best Weight Loss Pills

Anthony Voronoff asked:

What are the best weight loss pills? If you are overweight or obese you have definitely asked this question many times. Whatever our excess weight can be, we always want to be slim. And the best weight loss pills have been always sought after.

Let’s think a little on this philosophic question and try to answer it based on what we know about this weight loss aid we can’t refuse of using…

We all know the easiest and safest way to live a slim and healthy life is to: consume healthy foods in a balanced diet regime, exercise and stay physically active, and get a sufficient amount of rest each day. Well, weight loss pills may offer a short cut, it might not always be the best route to take. If we make a decision to take weight loss pills, it is always important to understand how they work. It should be in you best interest to know what you are inserting in your body.

Which are best weight loss pills – prescription or natural?

First, weight loss pills are divided into two major groups – prescribed or over-the-counter diet pills. Do you like to know which are best? Well, consider the following – prescription weight loss pills are clinically tested and proven to work as they claim. If say Xenical claims to block 25% of dietary fats from your meals – those are clinically proven results. And approved by official medical organizations that guarantees drug action according to claims.

But prescription weight loss pills are not the perfect – I would say they are far from it and mostly due to side effects and unnatural chemicals applied. The same Xenical gives you a bunch of “additional benefits” like oily spotting, oily stool, possible nausea, diarrhea and more.

At the same time, prescription weight loss pills are basically used in case of obesity with possible dangers to your health. Their effects, side effects are studied and known, and if there’s no other ways for you to lose weight naturally – probably prescribed drugs are the best weight loss pills to choose.

Weight loss supplements, or over-the-counter or natural weight loss pills, are not the best ones either, due to numerous reasons. Mostly because they don’t back their claims. Have you noticed fantastic or amazing promises to help you lose pounds a day or permanent weight loss results?

The problem is most manufacturers don’t support these claims with clinical studies. You cannot know for sure if you buy some real mix of ingredients proven to burn your fat or increase metabolism, or it’s just placebo.

Another point of concern is natural or herbal ingredients. Natural does not mean safe. Consider this when choosing weight loss pills. Ephedra or ma huang were the most popular fat burner active ingredients and might be considered as best weight loss pills, until FDA found them being extremely dangerous to our nervous system and heart. Several death cases preceded the ephedra ban.

So our advice in choosing natural supplements – the best weight loss pills among over the counter are well known brands that everybody knows and many people use successfully.

Undoubted leader among natural weight loss pills in 2007 is Proactol – acknowledged by health professionals and customers as good and safe weight loss support.

Weight loss pills action types

We can differ weight loss pills by type of action. Here we have several major types like fat burners, appetite suppressants or fat blockers. They can be both prescription and natural weight loss pills.

Fat burners work accordingly to help the body in breaking down the fat, internally. Once released from fat cells, fat enters the blood stream as free acids that are then carried to muscle cells where they are to be burned.

Another, probably the most widespread pills are appetite suppressants. These pills take away the desire to eat and allow you to keep down the fat consumption. Most of prescription drugs are suppressants, like Phentermine, Meridia (sibutramine), Acomplia and several other brands. Appetite suppressants are the oldest type of pills to struggle extra weight, and many people use them successfully.

Their popularity grew even more after Hoodia Gordonii appeared on weight loss market. It’s considered the best natural appetite suppressant that has not been researched thoroughly but showed good efficacy.

Another type of weight loss pills is gaining more popularity due to more safe and healthy effect comparing with others – fat blockers. Among prescription drugs it is Xenical, blocking fat by affecting lipase enzymes responsible for fat absorption. It helped many people lose weight along with good dieting regime, but it’s side effects include abdomen discomfort, diarrhea, and the inability to absorb a lot of important fat-soluble vitamins and other nutrients.

Alli is a lighter version of Xenical with the same side effects and many medical professionals refuse to ally themselves with Alli as best weight loss pill because of moderate efficacy combined with many side effects.

Among natural fat blockers chitosan is widespread ingredient. There are many pills based on chitosan claiming fat blocking effect, but scientific researches proved weak fat blocking capacities of chitosan.

As fat blocker, acting somewhat like Xenical but binding fats directly in the stomach, Proactol now is a leading weight loss pill. It acts safely and helps lose weight steadily and prevent weight gain if we eat fatty meals.

The conclusion is simple – choose well known brands that many people used already and had positive results. There is no perfect weight loss aid – but weight loss pills are popular and one of the reasons is that they do help you lose weight more effectively.

Weight Loss – Sleep Away Your Fat

John C White asked:

For those of you who have been curious about how sleep effects your weigh loss process, here’s some interesting information. According to a recent report published in the Journal Sleep, those who slept 6 hours or less and 9 hours or more put on more weight then those who slept 7 to 8 hours. Yet another reason to get sufficient sleep.

The published report went on to state that those who did not get enough sleep gained 4.4 lbs more then those who did get enough sleep; those who slept too much gained 1.58 lbs more than those who got the recommended amount of sleep. Even though sleeping longer isn’t as bad to your weight as not getting enough sleep, you should think twice about sleeping all day when you’re trying to lose weight.

As for the reason behind their findings, the report stated that the amount of sleep’s effect on weight gain has to do with its effect on the body’s hormone levels, especially those involved in controlling your appetite and giving you the feeling of fullness after a meal.

The report also stated that watching tv in bed is a bad habit as is ingesting alcohol, caffeine, and yes, chocolate too. And even though exercising is great for losing weight, it’s not a good idea to exercise before you go to bed.

So if you want to lose weight, it pays to get enough sleep, but not too much. If you have trouble going to sleep, try something relaxing like taking a hot shower or reading a book
