LOSE 1 STONE in 1 WEEK

► “Weight Loss Supplements” - dietary supplements

Do you think it really work?

“Ads” claim they can help you "feel fit," "boost your energy" and "melt away the fat," “lose 1st in 1 week”… You don’t need to diet and exercise when a little pill can easily do the trick. Do you believe on that?

From fat-blockers and metabolism-boosters to pills that prevent hunger and beat cravings, there’s something for everyone, Hurrah!!! – and more often than not, the promise that we can get maximum results with minimum effort.

► Too good to resist, isn’t it?! That is why people buy it.
Just like my title above Lose 1 Stone in 1 week. You probably started reading because you though I was writing how to achieve 1st in 1 week, didn’t you? The Ads are just the same!

 is a BIG business, it has turned into a multibillion dollar industry in the United States and the UK is not far behind.

Several diet drugs over the last decade have been associated with:
~ Serious heart problems
~ Health-related issues
~ Deaths

► Diet drugs are available in several different forms including:
~ Prescription drugs > drugs such as Meridia and Xenical are only available with a doctor's prescription. They are carefully regulated by the
 Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Centre for Drug Evaluation and Research, and their use is closely monitored by the prescribing doctor.
~ Over-the-counter drugs > drugs are available without a doctor's prescription, right in your local pharmacy/supermarket, and are also regulated by the FDA. According to AnneCollins.com, "Products considered by FDA to be over-the-counter weight control drugs [as opposed to dietary supplements] are primarily those containing the active ingredient phenylpropanolamine (PPA).
The FDA requested that drug manufacturers voluntary reformulate PPA-containing products in the wake of evidence that phenylpropanolamine can increase the risk of stroke, so there are few diet drugs on the market that still contain this ingredient. OTC drugs also fall under the jurisdiction of the FDA's Centre for Drug Evaluation and Research.
~ Herbal supplements > diet supplements are also available without a prescription. You'll typically find a huge variety of these in health food and nutrition stores as well as in regular supermarkets and they are often labelled "all natural" and are considered by the FDA to be food products as opposed to drugs. As such, they fall under the jurisdiction of the FDA's centre for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition and are regulated differently from OTC drugs. ~ Herbal is also a selection of diet aids that are administered by patch, as a powder or in liquid form. These types of drugs may fall into any of the above categories -- it is only the delivery method that is unique.
Just to make sure you understand one thing – Weight Loss Supplements you buy from health shops, supermarkets or in another word “from the shelf anywhere”, they are NOT regulated (it can have anything inside or even nothing) as they are not classified as a drug, instead, they see it as a dietary “food” supplement.
► HOW DO THEY WORK?
Different diet pills work in different ways depending on which ingredients they contain.
Appetite suppressants such assibutramine (Meridia),diethylpropion (Tenuate) and phentermine (Adipex-P, Fastin, Anoxine-AM, etc.) affect the appetite-regulating region of the brain called the hypothalamus. They work by blocking the re-uptake of the chemicals serotonin and norepinephrine, which create that feeling of satiety you get after eating a big meal. With more of these chemicals circulating in your brain, you feel full, so you eat less.
Prescription fat blockers, such as orlistat (Xenical), inhibit the action of an enzyme called lipase. When we eat foods (real food) with fat in them, lipase normally breaks down the fat when it gets to the intestinal tract. With a lipase inhibitor in effect, a percentage of the fat ingested is removed from the body through bowel movements instead of being broken down and absorbed.
Others - Many prescription drugs are used as diet aids even though that was not their intended purpose.
Some antidepressants are used "off-label" as diet aids because they have been shown in studies to help patients lose weight and keep it off for several months. Researchers are also studying certain drugs normally used to treat
epilepsy (topiramate and zonisamide) and diabetes (metformin) for their weight-loss potential.
Other promising drugs affect appetite-related hormones. One blocks ghrelin, which the stomach sends to the brain to increase appetite. Another mimics a hormone called PYY, which tells the body it's full.
► Who Should Use Prescription Diet Pills?
Prescription diet pills does work, but they are not for someone who wants to shed a few pounds to fit into a holiday party dress or look good in a bikini or toooooo lazy to exercise.
Only people who are "obese" (BMI of 30+) or who have a history of high blood pressure or diabetes due to weight problem are good candidates for prescription diet medications, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

 

► Do Diet Pills Really Work?
Many over-the-counter diet pill manufacturers say their product will help you see miraculous weight loss, like losing up to 30 pounds in 30 days, without diet or exercise. A few pills, especially (such as Meridia and Xenical), have been shown in clinical studies to help dieters shed a few pounds, again “few” pounds.
Even the most effective diet pills (over the counter/prescription by a doctor) are only meant to be taken for a short period of time -- less than six months. During that time, doctor-prescribed weight-loss drugs can trim anywhere from 5 to 22 pounds, or up to 10% of your body weight.

Here is the small print that no one reads - HOWEVER, after six months, your body develops a tolerance to these drugs' effects, and weight loss plateaus.
After that, if you don't also follow a healthy eating and exercise plan, the weight will COME RIGHT BACK and most of the time MORE than before - one thing that I always say is: if it is going to come back “worse” or you are going to gain more than when you started with, there is no point in starting in the first place.
Is it worth it? Just for the sake of a few days…

The majority (if not all) of the pill you can get from the shelf, and products you see on the INTERNET
 and TV are for products that have the UN factor.
~ Unregulated
~ Untested
~ Unproven
~ Unhealthy
Instead of losing weight, you are losing money. It does not work, and worse still, the side effects!

► Side Effects of Diet-pill Use

Different diet pills contain different ingredients, so their side effects vary.

Fat blockers may cause uncomfortable cramping, gas and diarrhoea. As well as reducing the body's absorption of essential vitamins and nutrients.
Appetite suppressants raise blood pressure and heart rate. This increases the risk of HEART ATTACK and cardiac arrest and If you already suffer from high blood pressure, irregular heartbeat or heart disease, you are asking to go to the other side quicker!!! Other, more minor side effects include constipation, headache, dry mouth and insomnia (because the chemicals in these drugs also influence sleep patterns).
Herbal diet pills, even though they're "all natural," can have potentially dangerous side effects depending upon their ingredients. "Herbal" or “Natural” doesn't necessarily mean "SAFE". If you see a nice flower, would you eat it?
Also, because they are considered part of the food industry and are therefore regulated differently by the FDA, there is no guarantee that they can live up to their manufacturers' claims.

► Most of the Weight Loss Dietary Supplements use ingredients like:
Hoodia Gordonii  - This plant is used by the San people (Bushmen) to suppress the appetite on long hunting trips in the Kalahari Desert
Açai – A Brazilian berry, normally eaten as ice-cream or smoothy for energy and calories as well as antioxidant qualities.
Green Tea -
Tea consumption has its legendary origins in China of more than 4,000 years ago with many health benefits – REAL Green Tea is made solely from the leaves of Camellia sinensis that have undergone minimal oxidation during processing.
~ Bee Pollen -
Bee pollen has been used to enhance energy, memory and performance. Serious allergic reactions to bee pollen have been reported as well, including potentially life-threatening anaphylaxis and organ toxicity.
~
Chocamine - Extract of cocoa used to improve focus and concentration, an energy booster. Caffeine might be added to some products.
~
Citrus Aurantium - A tree native to southern Vietnam, also known as bitter orange extract, Citrus Aurantium gained popularity in 2004 after the banning of ephdra because of its similarities to the compound - Increase thermogenesis along with decreasing appetite. Some peoples might experience headaches, upset stomach, increase in heart rate and blood pressure.
~
White Kidney Bean Extract – It has the ability to block starches, so in effect it blocks the alpha-amylase enzyme, which plays an important role in digestion. Alpha-amylase is required for the metabolism of starchy carbohydrates. There's some concern that use of white bean extract may trigger certain minor side effects (including nausea, bloating, gas, and diarrhoea.
~ Ephedra - Ephedra sinica
 is an herb with a long history of use in traditional Chinese medicine for asthma, bronchitis, allergies and cold and flu symptoms. It is been banned since the 2004 in weight loss supplements due to many deaths as it has similar in structure to amphetamine.
~
Bioperine - Bioperine is an herbal supplement that contains piperine, an extract from black pepper that is responsible for the pungency of pepper extract, is used in sports supplements to enhance the bioavailability of nutrients through increased absorption. The most common side effects of piperine are gastrointestinal problems such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
~ Cayenne - The main active ingredient in cayenne pepper is capsaicin. It is said to be a "thermogenic chemical" which will help speed your metabolism and decrease your appetite. If eating the pepper, it can cause burning in the mouth and throat, and can cause the nose to run and eyes to water. People with ulcers, heartburn, or gastritis should use any cayenne-containing product cautiously as it may worsen their condition.



► A lot of the Weight Loss supplement will:~ Contain high doses of caffeine like caffeine itself or green tea and guarana which will raise your heart rate~ Weigh loss related to the loss of WATER (caffeine) , by losing water you are going to be dehydrated – you are not losing fat~ Weight loss related to NO EATING, food is good, food is energy, from food we get ALL the nutrients which are essential for a healthy life. No one can live without the B-Vitamins, Fat-Soluble Vitamins and Iron, zinc etc… by not eating you are going to be MALNOURISHED, therefore more prone to infections and ill health.~ The pills won’t strengthen your heart, your back or improve your VO2. The pills won’t keep the weight off – but exercise will.
There have been reports of over 1000s of Deaths and Heart Related Diseases due to Weight Loss Pills. Some like Sibutramine, Xenedrine, Dexatrim,  Zantrex-3, Fenfluramine (Fen-Phen) and Ephedra.

► Lose Weight Safely and Sensibly

To lose weight safely and sensibly, you need to TACKLE the “poor eating habits” and “lack of exercise” that helped you gain weight in the first place.
If you concentrate on making long-term changes to your diet and lifestyle, you won’t need to resort to quick fix remedies, which doesn’t really fix anything.
By taking supplements of any kind to lose or to gain (protein shakes, pill etc.) does not turn a bad eating habits into a good diet.
But if you are weak (mind) and you still can’t resist the fantastic promises, at least, PLEASE, avoid those products that make outrageous claims. If a product sounds to be good to be true, then it probably is!
