Diet Pills - Fact or
Fiction?
Diet pills are everywhere, they
tempt from store shelves, from infomercials and from glossy magazine pages.
You probably know someone who is dabbling with diet pills or maybe you've
tried them yourself. Have you ever wondered how they work?
Diet pills are everywhere, they tempt from store shelves, from infomercials
and from glossy magazine pages. You probably know someone who is dabbling
with diet pills or maybe you've tried them yourself. Don't you wonder how
they're supposed to work?
Weight loss pills can be broken down into 3 basic categories:
Appetite Suppressants: These work just like it sounds. The
appetite-regulating region of your brain (the hypothalamus) is tricked by
blockage of the re-uptake of serotonin and norepinephrine. As a result you
feel like you've just eaten a big meal, so you're less likely to overeat.
Stimulants: These types of weight loss
pills used to contain a combination of ephedra and caffeine to raise energy
expenditure (thermogenesis) while also reducing appetite. You're probably
aware that these pills were proven in some cases to be deadly, so ephedra
was taken off the market. Stimulant pills now contain other ephedra-like
substances, vitamins and caffeine. The idea is to increase energy and boost
metabolism.
Fat Blockers: These pills inhibit the
action of the enzyme lipase, which is responsible for breaking down fat
during the digestion process. The goal is to prevent a percentage of the fat
you've eaten from being absorbed into your system.
So we
return to our burning question. Do the pills work? Here's what the diet pill
companies say:
"You'll lose 30lbs in 30 days"
"Achieve rapid weight loss results"
"Burn
calories and fat 24 hours a day"
"Fights fat and delivers rapid weight loss"
Those claims are amazing...too bad they are
just that-claims. It's so tempting to imagine that those benefits could be
gained just by swallowing a pill. It's enough temptation to make the weight
loss pill industry billions of dollars each year. Hmmm, makes you wonder
that if that many diet pills have been taken then why don't we all look like
swim suit models yet?
While diet pills showcase a few star subjects, none of whom live on your
block, the world is full of real people who have lost weight and improved
their lives with exercise and healthy eating.

A
pill may slightly increase your metabolic rate for a time or may suppress
your appetite, and you may lose a few pounds. Pills alone do not produce
serious or permanent weight loss. Diet and weight loss pills don't deliver
the kinds of results that proper exercise and nutrition do.
In addition, diet pills
have been known to cause the following side effects:
Raised blood
pressure
Increased risk of heart
attack
Cramping, gas and diarrhea
Constipation
Headaches
Dry Mouth
Insomnia
The bottom line is that true weight loss
can't be achieved by a pill.
