How Fat Binding Pills Work

In the image above there is a light explanation of how fat binding pills work, but lets go a bit further into the technical details about it. These Fat Binding Pills work by preventing substantial amount of the dietary fat from being absorbed in your body.

When the non soluble fibers of the fat binding pills come in contact with the dietary fats they bind with them instantly forming a fluid gel around the fat making the fat complex too large to be absorbed by the body. This unabsorbed fat passes out naturally by the body through bowel movements.

There are two well known products in this category for weight loss – Alli and Proactol. While Alli comes with certain side effects like loose stools and urgent bowel movements which are extremely difficult to control and gas with oily anal discharge, Proactol (which is made of Opuntia Ficus Indica) on the other hand is completely safe and does not have any negative side effects.

Proactol works by restricting up to 28% of fat intake from being absorbed by your body. A natural appetite suppressant it also reduces food cravings and keeps cholesterol under check.

So if you are overweight or obese or if you simply don’t like the fact that you are a bit fat on the abs and seeking a safe weight loss method Proactol is the answer to your weight loss voes!!

Yet, despite all this recorded success Meridia does come at a cost – in the form of its numerous restrictions and guidelines.

Users are advised to avoid use of Meridia if they suffer from any of the following problems:

• high blood pressure
• liver disease
• kidney disease
• coronary artery disease
• already using other medication:
  • Prozac
  • Zoloft
  • Luvox
  • Paxil
  • and more

Available by prescription only across the US, Canada and Europe, Meridia is a monoamine re uptake inhibitor that is medically proven to use neurotransmitters within the brain to naturally suppress your appetite and cut down your meal portions.

Meridia is made from sibutramine. This active ingredient can help users to effectively lose weight at a pace that is right for them, whilst enabling them to cut down on snacking.

Side Effects:

• dry mouth
• anorexia
• insomnia
• constipation
• high blood pressure
• chest pains (shortness of breath)
• seizures
• jaundice
• abnormal bruising/bleeding

• Suppress your appetite
• Reduce your calorie consumption

By stimulating selected nerve bundles in the central nervous system, Adipex makes your brain believe that your body has been put under extreme stress and is currently in a state of emergency. Through generating these intense reactions your brain suppresses your appetite – to enable you to deal with the moment – and allows users to lose weight.

Side Effects:

• Confusion
• Hallucinations
• Restlessness
• Aggression
• Nausea
• Diarrhea
• Stomach pains
• Irregular heartbeat
• Tremors
• Fainting
• Problems breathing
• Convulsions
• Mixed with other medications, Adipex can cause primary pulmonary hypertension and cardiac valvular disease.

Even though Adipex diet pills are widely used across the US and UK, its restriction of a 12 week usage period, plus its medical requirement that no other medications must be taken with it, makes Adipex a questionable product.

According to recent studies, patients who have taken other forms of medication alongside Adipex – such as Phen-fen and Redux – have developed a rare lung disorder called pulmonary hypertension. A serious condition that has proven to be fatal to some users.

But this unfortunately is not the only risk that comes with Adipex. Users also have a high chance of developing permanently altered blood vessels in their lungs and inner heart lining if they continue to use Adipex beyond its 12 week prescription.

Neither of which can be good for the body in the long term: convulsions, palpitations and breathless. With statistics like these, it is easy to see why this supplement can only be used in extreme cases, when prescribed by a doctor.

Final consideration: it is as easy as to put a bullet in the head!

Alli is clinically proven to:

• Prevent the absorption of fat by 25% by inhibiting the enzyme in your pancreas that is responsible for the breaking down triglyceride in your intestines
• Reduces calorie intake

Medical Backing:

• Is at the center of huge debate for containing Xenical (at half strength) which was formerly banned

Side Effects:

• gas
• bloating
• incontinence
• oily spotting (diarrhea)
• muscle cramps
• gall bladder problems

One of the many limitations we found with Alli is its one sidedness. Yes it is true – if your diet is well balanced with less than 15g of fat per meal, you will experience an easy weight loss of 1-2lbs a week.

Final consideration: there is nothing easy about having to worry about the movement of your bowels every time you go out, nor the problems of controlling your fat intake per meal.

• increase your heart rate and metabolism
• boost your energy levels

Through this reaction, the body naturally begins to burn the user’s body fat in order to match the bodies demand for energy.

Alongside its fat burning qualities, Ephedra is also used for a variety of other things: sports enhancement in athletes and the treatment of asthma and hay fever in suffers.

Ephedra is legal only if it is free of Ephedrine alkaloids and is used in a controlled environment.

Ephedra is still widely used amongst the weight loss community. Particularly, in the UK – sold over the counter and online, in the UK this supplement is easily accessible.

Ephedra’s Side Effects:

• Severe skin reactions
• Dizziness
• Insomnia
• Nausea
• Diarrhea
• Seizures
• Hyperthermia
• Strokes

Final consideration: Removed from US shelves in 2004 for resulting in 155 death; Re-established in 2006, following a petition, but is still banned in some regions of the US – if the supplement contains ephedrine alkaloids

• Suppress your appetite by making your brain unable to receive hunger signals from your body.

The down side of Phentermine – side effects!
The number of negative side effects from Phentermine is astounding: increased heart rate, insomnia, headaches, diarrhea, plus its recognition as a ‘controlled substance’.

In 1997 for example, 24 cases of heart valve disease were reported in Phentermine users, and a further 30% of their prescribers were found to have abnormal valves.

Final consideration: Phentermine is banned from use in many countries. And to be honest, I am shocked that Phentermine is still being sold.

• Suppress users hunger by switching off the hunger mechanism in their brain
• Works by making the brain believe that the body has got enough blood sugar
• Be 10,000 stronger than Glucose at suppressing your appetite
• Reduce your calorie intake by 50% – 1,000-2,000 calories a day

Side Effects: Studies on Hoodia users have found reports of liver problems and stomach cramps, but with the debate that 99% of Hoodia products are fake, these reports cannot be proven (explained bellow).

One of the many scepticisms surrounding the quality of hoodia gordonii has come from the question of its authenticity.

According to US laboratories nearly 99% of hoodia diet pills are fake, which begs the question: are these reported liver and stomach problems from users down to unaltered, pure hoodia or are they a result of the other 99%?

Hoodia Gordonii is being used for centuries by the Kalahari Bushmen as a natural appetite suppressant; and the hoodia pills have been clinically proven to make the brain believe that the body has got enough blood sugar, any one who is diabetic or is currently suffering from liver problems should consult with a Doctor first before using it.

Final consideration: If consumers can find pure Hoodia they can benefit from instant natural weight loss.

• Bind up to 28% of your daily fat intake (which means that 28% of the fat will become indigestible)
• Naturally suppress your appetite
• Decrease food cravings
• Reduce your daily calorie consumption by 450+ calories a day
• Improve blood cholesterol
• Enhance joint flexibility
• No known side effects (going on clinical trials since 1997)

The good thing about this simple formula is that it is an easy way for you to check out how well you are (this is just good to have an general idea of how you are).

• If your result is lower than 18.5 then you are considered to be underweight (catwalk models are generally on this “category”).
• If your result is between 18.5 and 24.9 then you are considered to have the ideal weight (but it doesn’t necessarily mean you are healthy).
• If your result is between 25.0 and 29.9 then you are considered to be overweight (which means you should pay attention).
• If your result is 30.0 or higher then you are considered to be obese (don’t you think it is about time to worry about your health?).
