Are diet pills effective?

Modern ladies are very often obsessed with the problem of excess weight. And it's not smart! For “skinny” standards are imposed on us by television, fashion magazines, and simply our environment. "90-60-90" has become not only ideal indicators for fashion designers, but also an unattainable dream of hundreds of thousands of women. And for the sake of such "happiness" they are ready for anything.

However, modern domestic life makes its own adjustments: you have to work, feed your family, keep your house in order, raise children . There is practically no time left for yourself. What can we say, there is no time, and money, for beauty salons, fitness, swimming pools, saunas. Therefore, many ladies want to lose weight with the help of pills, such miracle capsules: I drank 3 things a day and you will get the long-awaited result in a month. At least that's what all manufacturers and distributors of pills promise.

But how safe and effective is it? Can you lose weight with pills?

We will try to cover this issue in our article.

If you decide to lose weight with pills, carefully read their composition. It is optimal if the composition contains only herbal components, vitamins and useful trace elements. Those. there will be nothing but substances that reduce and curb appetite, calm and speed up metabolic processes in the body and remove toxins from the body. High-quality diet pills are aimed at reducing appetite and suppressing hunger.

It is also not entirely correct to put all effective diet pills in one row, they differ in their composition, in the mechanism of action and in the consequences.

After all, they may also include diuretics or laxatives, or illegal drugs. At best, these will be pills that work solely due to psychological persuasion (the placebo effect). But you can also find diet pills, which include amphetamines. As you know, it increases excitability, performance, improves mood, reduces fatigue, but at the same time it is a psychotropic and causes addiction in people who take it. Tablets containing ephedra or caffeine are also addictive, their action is similar to adrenaline. Such "energizers" will significantly increase physical activity and allow the losing weight to spend several hours in the gym in a row. At first you will not feel tired, but soon it will be almost impossible to get up in the morning and get ready for work without doping.

Pay attention to drug certificates, whether there are licenses from the Ministry of Health, etc., read recommendations and reviews on websites and forums. We hope that someone else's, maybe even bitter experience in some places, will save you from mistakes. After all, low-quality pills cause serious health problems: those who are lucky will get off with allergic reactions, those who don’t will struggle with the consequences of severe poisoning.

It is forbidden to drink pills for people suffering from heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, kidney, liver failure, pregnant women and women who are breastfeeding.

So, all tablets produced by today's manufacturers belong to one of three groups: 1 - causing a decrease in appetite, 2 - preventing the absorption of fats, 3 - having a laxative or diuretic effect.

Tablets that help reduce hunger.

Most likely, the composition of such a pill includes sibutramine (or its analogue) - a drug that has a "hypnotic" effect on your brain, makes it feel full in the body. After taking sibutramine, a lasting effect is noted: losing weight practically does not feel hunger and therefore consumes significantly less food. After a long time, a person who consumes such pills actually decreases the volume of the stomach, and even after the end of taking the pills, the losing weight still loses weight, because he eats less.

Although sibutramine enhances the feeling of fullness, due to which the hated kilograms disappear, you should not forget about the hidden danger that such pills are fraught with. Sibutramine causes drug addiction, a person “addicts” to the drug, and his brain requires more and more “dose”, he experiences serious changes in appetite, even “attacks” of gluttony, diarrhea or constipation, insomnia, nausea, dizziness are possible. Is it really worth it?

Tablets that prevent the formation of fat.

Where does excess fat come from? The fact is that our body does not know how to get rid of the fat that comes with food. Cookies, sandwiches - all this is easily deposited on our sides. Unfortunately, there is no natural filter against fat. And the second category of diet pills is just an additional filter that prevents the absorption of fats. They do not allow fat to be broken down into molecules, and unsplit fat is not absorbed by our body.

However, there is a minus here: fat-blocking pills disrupt the natural metabolism. You are not absorbing not only fat, but also other useful and nutritious substances, including vitamins and minerals! And, having completed the course of losing weight, you will face a full range of consequences: hormonal disorders, beriberi, diseases of the biliary tract and kidneys, disruption of the intestines. Due to the fact that fats are excreted "directly" (without absorption), the feces are supersaturated with fatty acids and are excreted from the body in a "constant flow".

Diuretic tablets.

These pills, called diuretics, are the trailblazers on the weight loss journey. Thanks to them, the body loses excess fluid (water and salts dissolved in it), and you happily notice a weight loss of 1-2 kilograms. But remember: they remove water, but not fat, so the weight instantly returns to its original position in just a day.

Diuretic pills are the cure! It is prescribed to people suffering from edema, kidney failure, nephritis, people with impaired liver function. And you, having lost water, sodium, calcium and potassium salts, will experience very unpleasant consequences for yourself. Everything can start with brittle nails, hair loss, weakness, and end with cramps and drops in blood pressure.

Be prudent!

Therefore, to everyone who wants to lose weight quickly and easily , we will say one thing: “you can’t even catch a fish from a pond without difficulty!”. Therefore, even counting on the help of tablets, do not forget about proper and balanced nutrition, physical activity and a healthy lifestyle. From sports activities, it is best to go swimming in the pool and, of course, give up drinking alcohol and cigarettes.

And remember that unscrupulous manufacturers play on the feelings of people who are desperately trying to lose weight, and they know that their pills will always find their audience.
