Let’s study what are the options for diet pills? These are slimming teas, Xenical tablets, Lida and others.
Slimming Tea
Slimming tea allows you to cleanse the intestines, thereby causing lightness in the body and weight loss.
This does not mean that slimming tea is bad, but only that it must be used not as a means for losing weight with daily use 3 times a day, but as a means to cleanse the body before losing weight, otherwise you can harm your intestinal microflora and spoil the well-coordinated processes of the body. Because all teas of this kind are aimed either at stimulating peristalsis or have a diuretic effect.
And you need to lose weight not at the expense of water, but at the expense of fat. Therefore, tea can only be used as a cleansing procedure.
Xenical tablets
Xenical tablets are aimed at preventing fat from being absorbed in the body. If you ate meat that contains fat, then the proteins are absorbed, and the fats will be excreted through the digestive tract. However, many people note that bowel movements often occur spontaneously and not always when you are at home. And this is a serious aesthetic problem. This is fraught not only with the fact that it is unpleasant, but also with the fact that fat-soluble vitamins will transit and not stay in the body. And this is a deficiency of vitamin A, D, E – which will be constantly in deficit in the body. Lack of vitamin E leads to dullness and rapid aging of the skin, brittle nails, hair loss, etc. Accordingly, the required amount of fat in the body must be and they must be assimilated.
Again, if you do not eat fatty foods, then the pills have nothing to remove, so they simply do not work in the direction in which we would like, nevertheless, it still does not allow vitamins to be absorbed, so Xenical is not suitable for healthy weight loss.
Lida pills
Lida refers to drugs that have the property of “freezing” the stomach. They make the stomach unable to digest, it stops working. Drugs of this kind are toxic. The drugs throw toxic substances into the bloodstream, the brain gives the command not to eat. Therefore, there is a mental disorder: a person becomes nervous, a little inadequate. It is possible to jump off drugs of this kind, but not without health consequences. There is Lida as a placebo (fake), which will not do any good, but also does not sow harm. You can check as follows: open a capsule of pills and apply on the tongue, if the tongue starts to grow stiff (as if freezing), then think about what will happen to your stomach and do you need to lose weight at such a price?
Stomach-Filling Drugs
Such drugs include tablets, capsules, and powder, which swell in volume when taken and fill the stomach in order to reduce the portions of food taken. Basically, it is fiber, cellulose, which is not digested in the body and gives a feeling of fullness. Fiber is useful for the intestinal microflora, but How long does stomach fullness affect weight loss is a separate question, because weight gain is not always due to overeating. That is, if the reason is this, then this option will help to lose weight, if the reason is different, then it will not help.
Preparations with male hormones
The following drugs are patches and tablets, which contain male hormones, leading to activity and a decrease in appetite. There is an imbalance in hormonal levels and programming for muscle growth. It’s better not to joke with hormones.
It is good that there are few such drugs on the market.
Placebo drugs
Medical centers using such pills do not tell patients about it. They build the process of losing weight on the fact that if the patient overeats while taking such a pill, he will become very ill. Nothing really happens, but fear prevents overeating. Placebos work through psychological effects.
So let’s summarize. Dreams that some pill will cure you of excess body fat are absurd. There are no such pills. It is necessary to approach weight loss in a comprehensive manner: to establish nutrition, to include physical activity, to include a psychological attitude. If you cannot lose weight, love yourself as you are, you should not lose weight at any cost, even at the expense of your health.
