Slimming Pills

Losing weight is a challenge for most people, especially if it is quite a significant amount of weight you need to lose. Many people will require some additional assistance to help them lose their excess weight and keep it off. So many people turn to slimming pills in addition to a healthy diet and exercise to help them reach their goals.

Finding the right slimming tablets or diet pills can be tricky, as there are so many prescription and non-prescription products available, all of which boast significant weight loss results. Some of the most popular slimming pills include Xenical, Reductil, which are available on prescription, and Alli, Hoodia and APPEset, which are available over the counter.

Xenical slimming pills

Xenical is a clinically proven slimming pill that works to prevent fat from being absorbed into the body. It does this by preventing the enzyme Lipase to convert fat so that it can be absorbed in the body. A third of the fat you’ve consumed is then expelled without being absorbed into your body. Xenical is only available on prescription and is recommended for people with a BMI of over 30, of people with a BMI of over 27 with other underlying conditions.

Reductil slimming tablets

Reductil works by suppressing appetite, so rather than affecting the food that has already been consumed, Reductil slimming pills work on affecting the hormones (noradrenaline and serotonin) produced in the brain. These hormones deal with, among other thing, hunger and a feeling of fullness. These slimming tablets reduce the calories you consume by reducing you urge to eat as often, helping you to feel fuller. After some safety concerns, Reductil was removed from sales in February 2010.

Hoodia gordonii

These slimming pills with pure Hoodia Gordonii extract can potentially reduce your daily calorie intake by over a 1000 calories. Hoodia is a natural appetite suppressant, so you feel less of a desire to snack and won’t be tempted to eat as much. It does this by affecting the hypothalamus area of the brain which deals with appetite, mood and sleep.

Alli slimming tablets

Alli works on the same principle as Xenical, but because it contains less of the active ingredient, orlistat, it’s considered suitable to purchase without a prescription. Alli also works towards reducing the amount of fat that is actually stored in your body.

APPEsat slimming pills

APPEsat are over the counter slimming pills that stimulate the hunger sensors in the stomach, giving you the sensation that you are full by stimulating your digestive system. This means that you don’t consume as much food as usual because you’ll feel fuller faster. The manufacturer claims that you’ll feel fuller for longer after you have eaten because these slimming tablets stays in the system for longer.
