Obesity is nothing but accumulation of excess fat in the body which in turn causes serious physiological problems like cardiac disorders, high blood pressure, immovability and such. The disease is now spreading at an alarming rate in developed countries where almost 30% of the total population is being affected by it. A survey shows that more than 70,000,000 people are now searching for right means of weight reduction in America. In-depth research work is also being carried out on the chemical properties of various herbs that are believed to be effective in causing substantial weight loss. Pharmaceutical companies are now flooding the market with large number of weight loss pills that are advertised to be beneficial for dieters round the world.
If you are looking for supplementary pills to reduce your weight you should be careful enough to choose the right one. You may also take the help of a professional health care expert to select the right weight loss pill that will be ideal for your body to lose weight with minimal side effects. In fact, weight loss pills are generally not prescribed in spite of their proven efficacy in weight loss because most of them cause severe health hazards if not taken under the supervision of a physician or a dietician.
Based on their action, the weight loss pills can be broadly classified into the following groups:
Appetite suppressants – Appetite suppressants work in reducing weight by influencing the chemicals of brain that controls the mood and appetite of a person. Phentermine (Adipex-P), Sibutramine (Meridia), Phendimetrazine (Bontril PDM, Plegine), Diethylpropion (Tenuate, Tepanil), Methamphetamine(Desoxyn) , Benzphetamine (Didrex) are some of the appetite suppressants available in the market.
Lipase inhibitors – Lipase inhibitors like Xenical (orlistat) slow down the rate of secretion of digestive enzymes like pancreatic and intestine lipase which helps in breaking down of fat and enabling the body to absorb the fat in the main blood stream.
Fat Burners – The action of fat burners are based on thermogenisis or the process of breakdown of body fat. The pills work in three stages; firstly the stored fat will be burned to produce energy, secondly helping in flushing out broken fat cells and thirdly in increasing the rate of metabolism by burning the stored fat. Ephedrine has a substance called ephedra or ephedrine which leads to fast removal of body fat.
There are also various pills that act as fat and carbohydrate blockers that help in binding the fat and cholesterol in the intestines and blocking them from getting absorbed by the body. CLA - Conjugated Linoleic Acid is a fatty acid which is extensively used by body builders as it has the capacity to convert fat into lean muscle. No matter to what category your weight loss pill falls, intake of the pill will only be effective when you are maintaining a low calorie diet along with a definite schedule of exercise.
