Pills

Ok, Your search has probably included some of the above words which has brought you to this post. Especially When it comes to medication everyone looks for the best. But Why?

There are many pills and supplements for weight loss and a lo of suppliers claim that they are the most effective. They are usually produced to either Reduce your appetite or Reduce fat absorption or increase your fat burning. Before talking about any names or brands I should warn you that many of these products do not have any scientific basis and some may also cause serious health problems. So the wise word is always discuss use of any weight loss products with your doctor or dietician beforehand.

Now let’s talk about the products:

Appetite suppressants pills

These drugs make you feel full and reduce your appetite. They trigger hormonal pulses which interrupt the brain signals for hunger. But do they really help you lose weight. Well the short answer is Yes but for a short time. The more weight loss becomes popular the more pills are produced but there aren’t many scientific research of the side effects of these new products. Appetite suppressants available in the UK include Phentermine and Diethylpropion. They are prescribed privately.

Phentermine stimulates the central nervous system which increases the heart rate and blood pressure therefore it decreases your appetite. According to some researches women can lose between 1.5 to 3 kilos and men 2.5 to 3.5 kilos per month by taking Phentermine.

Diethylpropion is mostly used as a short-term solution. It works with low calorie diets. It is used in obese patients whose weight loss efforts via diet and exercise have not been successful. People are expected to lose at least 1.5 kilos after the first month of taking the pills.

Fat absorption reduction pills

The only licensed product in the UK is Orlistat. This product decreases the amount of dietary fat absorbed in your intestines. it helps break down fat into smaller parts so that it can be used or stored for energy. One can expect to see result between one to three months. If you follow instructions carefully you may be able to lose up to 5 percent of your body weight in 3 months . You can only use orlistat if a doctor or pharmacist thinks it’s the right medicine for you. In most cases, orlistat is only available on prescription. The only product available over the counter directly from pharmacies is Alli, under the supervision of a pharmacist.

Fat Burning pills

Fat burning pills are amongst the most popular weight loss aids. They help you maintain a caloric deficit by ramping up your metabolism. But don’t believe you can just take a pill and watch your body fat melt off.

Most fat burners help weight loss besides a healthy diet and exercise. There are some helpful products in the market but do not chose those who claim they do magic or miracle. If you are looking for some names here they are: PhenQ Fat burner, TrimTone (for women), Primeshred (for men), BrutalForce CCUT, Hunter Burn, Phen24 Fat Burner. They are not listed as recommended treatment for weight loss by NHS but if you choose to take the pills do read the reviews and consult with your doctor or dietician.
