When it comes to weight loss products the choice is vast. There are a plethora of different diet pills and formulae available over the counter or with a prescription from your GP. To find the most effective solution for you can be a challenge and comes with a caveat. It depends largely on the bodily reactions of the individual as to whether or not a product is beneficial. A willingness to try a few different ones before finding the right one is therefore a useful strategy
The main products on the market are Alli Capsules, LIPObind, Adios Max and Adios herbal, Appesat, and Zotrim Tablets. The different products aid weight loss in different ways
Alli Capsules fall into the category of Fat Binders. According to www.slimmingresources.com ,Fat Binders are particularly good for people who crave fatty foods but ‘do not want to suffer the consequences of them in their diet’. They can prevent up to 25% of an individual’s fat intake from being processed. This could mean losing an extra pound on top of the pound already lost. Alli tablets are FDA approved.
LIPObind is also part of the family of Fat Binders. Lipobind is 100% natural and contains Litramine, a natural fibre complex made from dried cactus extract. LIPObind has been proven to bind up to 24.7% of fat from food. It also contains Vitamins A, D and E. According to LIPObind the product works as an appetite suppressant. You take it by adding water, making the soluble fibres in LIPObind swell. This traps food and keeps your stomach satiated for longer. It also claims to keep your blood sugar on the level, stopping the need to snack on high-energy foods for a quick energy boost. LIPOBIND came second in a study of 20 best weight loss supplements by online medical researchers in an unbiased review (http://www.fatbinders.net/top-3-weight-loss-supplements-on-the-market.html ).
The second type of weight loss product is one that aims to speed up the body’s metabolism. Adios Max and Adios Herbal both fall into this category. They contain a variety of ingredients, the main active ingredient being Fucus Dry Extract. Fucus has been clinically proven to speed up the metabolism in people suffering from thyroid disorders. It contains high levels of iodine which raises the metabolism and burns fat faster. The other herbal ingredients include Dandelion Root which is a diuretic and can relieve water retention and Boldo which is a laxative. According to www.dietspotlight.com Adios Max ‘could play an important role in weight-loss as part of a program that also includes a proper diet and exercise’. Adios tablets are a popular choice with UK consumers and there are many testimonials and reviews that regard Adios as being a competent companion in the weight loss journey.
The final two products are Appesat and Zotrim. Appesat is an appetite suppressant recently released in the UK. In dietary circles, it is commonly referred to as the “gastric band in a pill”. Its active ingredient is French Atlantic grown seaweed extract, which has been clinically proven to make the stomach feel fuller. Taken before a meal extract swells in the stomach, stretching the stomach wall and makes contact with sensors that send messages of fullness to the brain. Appesat lasts for 3 hours and is then broken down normally by the body. It is intended for short-term use in order to retrain the stomach into accepting smaller portion sizes. It has also been clinically proven to work and can boost weight loss by up to 60%.
Zotrim is an all-natural product that aims to help curb hunger yet leaving you feeling energised. It is made from three natural plant extracts Yerba Mate, Guarana and Damiana. It does contain Caffeine in the form of Guarana though only a small amount. It has undergone eight clinical studies in order to prove its effectiveness and more recently has been scrutinised by Professor Lesley Regan the diet doctor on BBC2. Professor Regan was seemingly impressed by the level of research as well as its findings. For Zotrim research evidence visit http://www.zotrimreview.com/zotrim-research-evidence.pdf .
According to research, Alli capsules are considered to be the slimming aids that give the best results. As stated on all the packaging associated with these products, they are most effective when taken in conjunction with a natural and healthy diet and with a good exercise regime.
