Diet Pill Information
Each year, about 17.2 million Americans buy diet and weight loss pills hoping to lose weight. Using drugs to speed up weight loss, burn extra fat or control obesity has always been irresistible. Many dieters prefer to use weight loss pills or diet drugs to control their weight and shape rather than follow a healthy diet and exercise plan.
The effectiveness of diet pills has been intensively studied by many international organisations and research institutes. Unfortunately this research has never been published in a suitable way to help the patient compare the different diet pills and weight loss products available on the market.
In the 50s and 60s diet pills were mainly amphetamine derivatives (speed). But due to addiction, doctors stopped prescribing drugs for weight loss. Diet and exercise then replaced drug therapy, temporarily. But in 1973 the FDA (the food and drug administration) approved a new drug for weight loss, called fenfluramine (trade name Pondimin). Then came dexfenfluramine (trade name Redux) in 1996. Some doctors prescribed phentermine (another type of weight loss medication) in combination with fenfluramine and the combined weight-loss drug was called fen-phen. Phentermine was also used in combination with dexfenfluramine (known as dex-fen-phen).
The drugs worked by increasing Serotonin levels in the brain. Serotonin is a chemical (neurotransmitter) associated with improved mood, appetite and satiety. Fen-phen had a double action. It tricked the brain into believing the stomach was full, and increased a person's metabolic rate.
Are You Struggling To Lose Weight?
If you are like most people, you are constantly searching for a way to lose weight and to keep it off.
For most of us the quest to lose weight has really become a struggle for many reasons. One of the biggest reasons most of us are gaining too much weight and can't seem to lose it is because we eat way too much fast food. Due to our busy schedules that has us always on the run, fast food has become very convenient for a great deal of us, which more often then not is unhealthy. Also lets face it, good tasting foods have become very addictive for many of us. When we go out to eat it is hard for most of us to choose the healthier choices rather then the better tasting foods.
Most of us are looking for an easier, yet safe way to lose weight, without starving yourself or having to constantly stay on low fat, low calorie diets forever. The question is, in today's society can we lose weight without sacrificing all of the good foods we love to eat?
Do Weight Loss Diet Pills Work?
Have you tried weight loss diet pills? If they didn't work for you do you wonder if there are some better diet products out there that are actually helping people to lose weight safely without giving up all of their favorite foods?
There are now many 'non prescription' weight loss diet pill products on the market that claim their ingredients can actually help overweight men and women lose weight and fat, but without any potential dangerous side effects. They are supposed to help us lose weight by doing one or more of the following:
-
Curb our appetites so we won't eat so much.
-
Block carbohydrates or fat from foods we eat so we can still enjoy some of our favorite foods.
-
Speed up our metabolism so we'll burn more fat throughout the day.
We decided to do our own research on this subject and we found that certain diet pills can certainly help most people to lose both weight and fat much easier than on their own. We will be recommending only the products that scored very positive results in our research. We also learned that many products on the market are pure junk and of course those will not be recommended by us.
