Dietrim is not so much a slimming pill but a supplement that can convert body fat into lean muscle.

Or at least that is how it is advertised.

“Dietrim is centred around nutritional science. Dietrim capsules have been developed by leading nutritionists in the knowledge that certain nutrients can effect the body’s metabolism.

It has been carefully formulated to work together with the body’s own natural processes. It is the most advanced supplement available for those looking to achieve a healthier body shape”

What Is Dietrim

Each capsule contains 26 bio-active ingredients which include the substance Tonalin CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) that can aid the process of turning excess body fat into lean muscle.

The compant responsible for production, Vitbiotics, stress that Dietrim is more effective when combined with a healthy diet and exercise routine.

What Is CLA And What Does It Do

CLA is derived from the oil of the safflower plant by extraction. Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) is a natural part of the human diet, formed from linoleic acid. CLA is found naturally in meat and milk products, but scientists believe we are getting much less CLA in our diet than we were 30 years ago

Research an clinical study have found that CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) has two main sites of action, firstly - the adipocytes or fat cells which are the principal site of fat storage, and secondly, the skeletal muscle cells.

Side Effects Of Dietrim

Should not cause any adverse reaction if taken as suggested - although pregnant or nursing mothers are advised to refrain from using.

Where To Buy Dietrim

Dietrim is available to purchase both in store and online from Holland and Barrett.

Prices start from just £12.99 for 60 capsules

Formoline L112 is billed as a weight management tablet rather than a slimming pill.

It is a familiar product that is available to buy over the counter, in store at many outlets that stock slimming, diet and weight management products - Boots and Superdrug are two major stockists.

While several high profile products are currently fighting for premier position shelf space, Formoline L112 has been somewhat pushed from focused.

Alli appears to have taken centre stage

How Does Formoline L112 Work

The naturally sourced fibre that Formoline L112 contains, binds itself to fat so it’s not absorbed and leaves the body naturally.

Most fat binders are comprised of plant extracts, Formoline on the other hand contains the following

?-1,4 polymer of D-glucosamine and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine from shells of crustaceans, specification L112. Free from flavour enhancers, preservatives, colouring agents, gelatine, gluten, lactose and cholesterol.

The active ingredient is Polyglucosamine

Side Effects

The inclusion of extracts of Shells and crustaceans is similar to Chitosan - to date Chitosan has no long term safety data compiled.

Recommended Dosage

• For weight reduction take 2 tablets, twice daily.
• For weight maintenance take 1 tablet, twice daily, with 2 main meals.
• x1 pack of 48 is just under a months supply.

Where To Buy Formoline L112

In store at Tesco, Superdrug as well as high street chemists such as Boots and Superdrug

Pricing can vary from store to store - at present the cheapest stockist is Express Chemist the registered online pharmacist - current price is £15.65 for one month supply. Visit Express Chemist

Other Fat Binders To Consider

Two high profile fat binders available to UK consumers are Proactol and Lipobind.

Both are clinically proven to prevent fat absorption. Read about Proactol and Lipobind

_________________________________________________

Zotrim has been in existence since 2001 - it is a familiar product to UK consumers but fairly undiscovered overseas.

This is a real pity as the biggest negative that can be attached to Zotrim is its fairly inconspicuous marketing attempts (until recently).

Boots the Chemist, Superdrug, Tesco and a majority of the regular stockists of over the counter slimming pills and health products appear to favour big name brands over product efficacy.

This year has witnessed the introduction of two new arrivals to the over the counter market - Alli ,the chemically produced diet drug from GlaxoSmithKline and the natural “seaweed” slimming pill Appesat

These additions appears to awoken Zotrim from its slumber.

What Is Zotrim

A natural and herbal slimming aid that is designed to reduce calorie intake by suppressing appetite before, during and after a meal and also providing an increase in energy levels giving the dieter extra incentive to burn calories.

Less Calories Taken In: The ingredients can make you feel full sooner (suppress appetite) during a meal and for longer after a meal so you eat and snack less.

More Calories Burned: Zotrim can help you to feel invigorated and more energetic so that you are more active and subsequently burn calories.

Zotrim includes Yerba Mate, Damiana and Guarana among its ingredients

A better more detailed explanation can be found on the official Zotrim Website

Zotrim Does It Work

Marketing and advertising become almost redundant if the product does not live up to expectation.

Zotrim may trail behind in the marketing stakes but product effect is something where it truly excels.

With no fewer that 8 independent clinical trials dating back to 2001 with The British Food Journal and Kings College London among the authors, Zotrim is both clinically proven to aid the weight loss process and verified to be completely safe and side effects free.

UK consumers may have watched a recent BBC2 television programme entitled The Diet Clinic that featured Professor Lesley Regan and her dogged investigation into the truth behind the claims that over the counter slimming pill producers were making concerning the efficacy of their products.

Professor Regan  (for the uninitiated)  was responsible for exposing the anti ageing and beauty lotion industry after discovering that most beauty product manufacturers were making unsubstantiated claims.

Professor Regan examined high profile brands such as Lipobind, Adios and Boots own brand Diet Aid.

A majority of the high profile brands took a battering with only Zotrim escaping unscathed. Read Professor Regans Report

“The only slimming pill that could show a definite link between weight loss and their product was a herbal slimming pill, called Zotrim, ann appetite suppressant. Their research had been published in reputable journals and conducted with a controlled group  - Professor Lesley Regan

Where To Buy Zotrim

Zotrim is available to buy over the counter in many high street outlets as well as direct from the official Zotrim Webite.

Zotrim can cost from £21.99 for on month supply to £16 per packet (based on quanity discount)

Lipofuze is remarkably similar both in product, official website and promotion technique to several other USA focused slimming pills.

Lipofuze is rather typical of a clutch of slimming pills that are produced by American companies - cobble some ingredients together and tout it as the revolutionary new slimming pill.

The official website claims that 10lbs can be lost in 10 days or get a refund. I wonder if anyone has ever tried to to claim a refund.

The official website also takes a side swipe at Alli - describing it as a “faulty diet” with dangerous side effects.

Alli is produced by GlaxoSmithKline and has FDA approval - whereby Lipofuze does not appear to have any kind of clinical data or scientific evidence surrounding it.

Lipofuze Fat Burner

Lipofuze is basically just a fat burner - the ingredient list does not look spectacular or unique.

• ThermoDiamine
• Razberi-K
• Fucopure
• Forzlean
• GuggulEZ100
• Bioperine

Also included is green tea - green tea is a powerful fat burner, but there is no explanation as to which particular green tea is included.

Could it be a traditional and ancient Chinese formula or something that can be plucked off the shelves of a supermarket. green tea is not just green tea. More about Green Tea

Lipofuze Side Effects

The most positive that can be said about Lipofuze is that is unlikely to result in any severe side effects.

However, fat burner can have a tendency to cause a jittery feeling, sickness and mild headaches.

Does Lipofuze Work

Not a slimming pill to put your trust in.

Alternative Slimming Pills

If you are considering purchases a slimming pill from either the high street or from the internet read What Slimming Pills To Buy

Lean Xtreme is not a traditional slimming pill and geared towards the body-builder rather than the dieter.

The formula contains fat burning ingredients that are supposed to combat Cortisol, the stress hormone that allegedly causes weight gain and muscle loss.

The formual contians the following ingredients.

• Coleus Forskohlii
• 7-OH (7-Hydroxy-dehydroepiandrosterone)
• Green Tea

The company behind the product, Designer Supplements - suggest that the balance of each individual ingredient is formulated correctly.

Expert opinion appears to differ with (for example) nowhere near enough green tea extract to create the desired fat burning effect.

Does Lean Xtreme Cause Side Effects

Some user may experience the usual side effects caused by a majority of fat burners such as restlessness, insomnia or a jittery feeling.

Some user may also experience slight joint or muscle pain.

Does Lean Xtreme Work

User testimonials, especially from the body-building fraternity have a rather mixed opinion - one the whole Lean Xtreme is hard to recommend.

Alternative Products

One of the better natural fat burners is green tea - green tea that you will find in health food stores and supermarkets are usually very commercialised and a world apart from the more traditional and ancient Chinese or Thai variety.

A commonly sought slimming pill is the Water Pill

Water pills are aimed at getting rid of excess water (water retention) buy flushing the system using a diuretic.

Diuretcis are used by people seeking to lose weight quickly - but on almost all occasions they are prone to both putting the weight straight back on again and not as harmless as they may first seem.

The water pill sounds quite harmless - but weight loss is not what diurectics are intended for first and foremost.

What Are Water Pills For

The primary intended use has little to do with weight loss. Diuretics have just a few distinct medical uses, hypertension ( reducing high blood pressure,) and treating some heart conditions.

They can also be used cyclically for no more than one week in every month by women with premenstrual fluid retention.

Diurectics remove sodium from the kidneys - excess water is also removed or flushed away in this process. The water is regained once the body is rehydrated.

Are There Side Effects To Water Pills

As the intended or primary function of the water pill is lower blood pressure - people that have a normal blood pressure can find their blood pressure descreases and become almost dangerously low.

Are Water Pills Recommended For Weight Loss

Absolutely not - we do not recommend you buy a commercial or over the counter water pill to be used in conjunction with any weight loss process.

Water pills are ideally used under strict guidance from your GP or Doctor.

Alternative Slimming Pills

If you have a particularly high BMI (Body Mass Index) you may be eligible for prescription slimming pill.

Xenical (Orlistat) is the most commonly prescribed.

More about Xenical

___________________________________________________________

If you are still at the research stage before deciding which slimming pill you will in all probability have discovered a product called Clinicallix

Very much focused focused on the United States but available to but in the UK.

Clinicallix claims to be unique and requests that you stop wasting time on slimming pills that dont work - and presumably buy theirs!

Clinicallix - What Is It

Basically a fat burner that uses ingredients from already existing products but claims to be the strongest fat burner with clinically tested and proven ingredients.

The ingredient list comprises of:

• 750mg Guarana
• 400mg Yerba Mate
• 200mg Damiana
• 1000mg Glucomannan
• 1500mg Garcinia Cambogia
• 75mg Gymnema Sylvestre
• 250mcg Chromium Polynicotinate

The above ingredients are used as a staple ingredient in a number of specially formulated slimming pills - but in reality offer nothing new.

The clinical trials have been undertaken on each individual substance but not as a whole.

Side Effects Caused By Clinicallix

A majority of fat burners can cause restlessness, anxiety and insomnia.

Is Clinicallix Recommended

Extremely hard to give any kind of recommendation to.

Other Slimming Pills To Consider

If you are still at the research stage - you should understand that a majority of slimming pills available to buy without the need of a prescription are prone to unsubstantiated and dubious claims of success and quick results.

More about Non Prescription Slimming Pills

If you have been researching the various slimming pills currently available it is highly likely you would have  come across Alli - the highly advertised, publicized and promoted former prescription only slimming drug now available to buy over the counter.

Alli is set to be the best selling pill of the year, possibly of all time. To cash in even further the producers have now brought out a complimentary product to the pill - The Alli Deit Plan, a 360 page paperback book.

The Alli Diet Plan is detailed explanation as to what Alli is, what it does and any potential health risks or side effects that could be experienced.

The Alli Diet Plan

The first part of the book looks intriguing - it covers all the bases in a technical way explaing in detail that there are different enzymes that break down proteins, carbohydrates and fats and that the active ingredient (Orlistat) only prevents the breakdown of fat so that the other nutrients can slip through.

But rather strangely, after the first few dozen pages the book stops being focused on Alli and starts to become a generic recipe book.

Ideal if you are stuck for ideas on to how make use of some over mushrooms, not so if you have invested just under a tenner in anticipation of a revolutionary new diet plan.

Is The Alli Diet Plan Worth Buying

Removing the Alli slimming pill from the equation and concentrating squarely on the “Diet Plan” there is simply nothing there.

The plan, is just to eat sensibly whilst using the product. Paying £9.95 for this concept will benefit the company behind the concept in terms of profit - not the consumer

Where To Buy The Alli Diet Plan Book

The book can be purchased from most book stores either via the high street or online - plus of course the usual stockists such as Boots, Superdrug, Tesco and Sainsburys.

Thinking Of Trying Alli ?

If you are thinking of trying the Alli slimming pill it is highly recommended to understand what it is and exactly what it does.

Slimming patches are a viable alternative to slimming pills - A patch is perfect for someone who has difficulty swallowing a pill or is likely to forget to take a dosage (of a pill) at a certain point in the day.

The ingredients of patch are introduced into your body by what is called the Transdermal Delivery System, or through the skin.

Some manufacturers suggest that a patch form product is superior to a pill or tablet form product - this though can be classed as “creative marketing”

The delivery method is different - the ingredients and effect are the same. It is just a question of personal preference.

The Hoodia Patch is one of the premier slimming patches available to buy.

The Hoodia patch contains the raw powder Hoodia Gordonii that can suppress your appetite and reduce your daily calorie intake considerably.

Where To Buy Hoodia Patches

A one month supply costs £19.95 and can be purchased direct from the Pure Hoodia website.

Hydroxycut - America’s best selling pill for the last few years is to be recalled.

Iovate, the company responsible - issued a statement advising customers to refrain from purchasing Hydroxycut branded slimming products while they are in the process from being removed from shelves.

Iovate are also advising customers to stop using if they are currently using any Hydroxycut product.

The recall is a voluntary one but has come via recommendation from the FDA.

What Health Risks And Side Effects Can Hydroxycut Cause

Hydroxycut, by its very nature (fat burner) is not free from potential side effects. Common complaints and side effects include: Insomnia, Restless, Headache and the “Jitters”.

More recently though, independent studies have concluded that Hydroxycut can cause serious liver damage, liver problem and juandice.

The following products are to be recalled:

• Hydroxycut Regular Rapid Release Caplets

• Hydroxycut Max Aqua She, 24, Carb Control & Natural

How To Claim A Refund From Hydroxycut

The manufacturers are urging customers to contact the company that sold the product rather than contact Iovate directly.

Customers will be given a full refund upon proof of purchase.

Are Slimming Pills Safe

Hydroxycut is the second high profile slimming pill to be withdrawn from the market amid safety concerns in the last 6 months.

Acomplia Rimonabant was withdrawn towards the end of 2008.

Side effects are more commonly associated with drug classed or pharmaceutically produced slimming pills rather than their more herbal counterparts.

Herbal slimming pills are formulated from natural herbaceous substances and so are least likely to cause adverse reaction.

One the biggest issues facing adults in the western world is colon health.

In our battle to beat the bulge we sometimes overlook what could be the biggest contributing factor to why are gaining weight and becoming obese.

In may not be due to the food we are consuming but due to the waste matter we are not ridding from our digestive system.

Bad colon health or lack of colon maintenance can lead to many other health issues and not just weight related.

Not that discussing such matters is pleasant but an interesting fact to note is that at least half the adult population in the UK, Europe and USA do not produce a regular bowel movement.

Many do not produce a daily “poo” - many even as irregular as once a week. This fecal matter lies rotting in your digestive system and fragments can get stuck or lodged in the crevasses and folds of your colon.

Your Colon

The average persons colon is around 7 feet long and twisted and un-uniform.

It is not unlike a twisted coil with pits, crevasses and folds running the entire length.

The job of the colon is to move the waste fecal matter from the food that your stomach has produced and rid it from your system as quickly as possible.

Why Colon Cleansing Is Important

Regular maintenance of your colon is vital for optimum health.  Surprisingly few people look after their colon as they should.

“Your colon could contain several months of undigested waste stuck around the tiny cravasses of your small intestines…without proper care and maintenance you could be poisoning yourself from within”

Lack of colon care could lead to these health issues.

• Weight Gain and bloating
• Digestive disorders and IBS
• Constipation
• Skin problems, acne and rashes
• Allergies
• Body Odour and bad breathe
  
• Heartburn
• Hemorrhoids

Parasitic infestation of the digestive system is often associated with bad colon health.

How To Cleanse You Colon

The most commonly know form of colon cleansing and detox is via colonic irrigation. Colonic irrigation is evasive, costly and can rob your body of not only the harmful bacteria but also the good.

The “good” bacteria is essential for digestive health.

Natural Colon Cleansing

One of the better natural colon cleansing products is Pure Cleanse.

Pure Cleanse is an oraly taken solution that can rid your body of toxins and fecal debris.

2009 appears to be the year of the miracle slimming pill with several new products becoming available for eager consumer.

The latest is Appesat - a slimming pill that is rather uniquely made of seaweed extracts.

The company responsible Goldshield, would be the first to admit that Appesat is not strictly speaking new. It has been available to buy direct (from Goldshield) for several months.

Appesat now is available to buy over the counter at stockists such as Boots the Chemist, Holland and Barrett, Tesco and Sainsburys - it is sure make a fortune for anyone involved.

Fortunes aside, does Appesat really live up to marketing material - Can a slimming pill made from Seaweed really help you to lose weight.

How Does Appesat Work

A natural appetite suppressant made from a Bioginate Complex, which is a type of seaweed specific to the French Atlantic coast.

The formula can create a feeling fullness in the brain and also a more physical reaction by expanding in your stomach.

Industry experts are less than convinced by the clinical trials and suggested that….“There is very limited and poor evidence supporting it”

Where To Buy Appesat

As mentioned, you can buy Appesat in the high street from the usual suspects including the major health retailers such as Boots, Holland and Barrett, Tesco and Sainsburys as well as online from the manufacturer direct costing £29.95 for 50 capsules

Buy Appesat Direct

Appesat Or Hoodia

Appesat will no doubt be a huge success commercially but whether the long term effect on humans will prove a positive one is another story.

There have been clinical studies performed but not on the long term as far as potential side effects are concerned. There have been isolated cases of users experiencing upset stomachs.

Hoodia Gordonni or pure raw Hoodia powder still remains the most powerful natural appetite suppressing substance in existence. With the added advantage of a decades worth of working success and centuries of usage by the nomadic tribespeople of the Kalahari.

A new wonder slimming pill has been revealed and much publicized in the UK press.

Alli, the new over counter prescription grade slimming pill went sale in the UK and created much hysteria and stock levels have almost been depleted.

Alli - which is a lower strength version of Xenical has been on sale for over a year now in the United States, the user feedback, customer comments and dieters experiences in general are not as positive as you would expect.

From a commercial point of view Alli is marketers dream:

• First Over The Counter Slimming Pill Thats Prescription Grade
• Can Stop The Absorption Of A Quarter Of Dietary Fat
• New Miracle Slimming Pill
• Anti Obesity Treatment

From a user point of view the true fact are little less flattering

• Reports Of Anal Leakage And Runny Poo Side Effects
• Pharmaceutically Produced And Not A Natural Product
• Not Thoroughly Tested On HumansFor Long Term Health Risks
• Earlier Reports Linked With Colon Cancer In Mice

Where to Buy Alli Slimming Pills In The UK

UK slimmers have been buying Alli on the high street and via the web in their droves and could make Alli the Best Selling Slimming Pill of the Year.

The race is now on for high street and online stockists to see who can sell Alli the cheapest.

At the moment the most popular stockist is Boots the Chemist with Alli both in store and online - Visit Boots costing £32.95 for a week supply and £49.95 for the full month

The cheapest price and cheapest supplier of Alli is  via online UK registered chemists such as Chemist Direct - £48.95 for the full month and £29.65 for the 42 pack

Is Alli Really The New Miracle Slimming Pill

Alli definatley have a large advertising budget at its disposal to make the manufacturers GlaxoSmithKline a fortune.

The problem being is that the process of stopping fat absorption is anything but new.

Whilst Alli has been coined the “new wonder slimming pill” that stops fat from being absorbed.

This is something that Proactol (a natural fat binder) has been doing for years - and without the side effects!

___________________________________________

There is not an awful lot that can be said about Xtralean - it a fat burner sold almost exclusively by Holland & Barrett and is targeted towards turning excess body fat into energy.

A majority of fat burners suggest that they can turn fat into into energy, but this is not strictly true.

It is not the ingredients that somehow miraculously burn fat - it is your body heightened state of mobility that causes this conversion.

Fat burner can cause a jittery feeling or a feeling of restlessness - Xtralean is no different.

Xtralean Side Effects

Apart from a possibility of the above mentioned jittery feeling - nothing to serous should occur.

A Better Alternative

Proactol is clinically fat binder that can stop a portion of fat from the food you eat from being digested by your stomach.

This undigested fat can then pass naturally through your body and exit during a bowel movement.

Proactol is classified as a Medical Device Type 1 - but made from extracts of plants and so remains completely natural.

Proactol is available to buy without prescription but only direct from their official website.
