Slimming Pills – Fequently Asked Question
Slimming pills are not all the same – there is not a one size fits all slimming pill. Some slimming pills are effective, safe and are bourne out of reputable companies…others are not. The FAQ below will hopefully answer a few of the commonly asked question surrounding slimming pills.
What are the different types of slimming pills
Without wishing to complicate thing there are generally 2 types – slimming pills that effect the brain, appetite suppressants and pills that effect the stomach, fat burners, fat binders etc.
Which is better a slimming pill that works in the brain or one that works in the stomach
A slimming pill that works in the brain (appetite suppressant) can be described as a preventative measure – stopping the cause of the problem. A reduction in the amount of calories consumed will have a weight reducing effect.
Slimming pills that work in the stomach cause a physical reaction by either absorbing fat or stopping the absorbtion of fat.
As to which is better prevention or cure it can depend on the individual. Extremely overweight or obese people need the problem tackled and so a physical remedy is preffered. Whereas someone who needs only to shift a few pounds in a non obtrussive manner would probably be better off taking an appetite suppressant.

I have heard that Hoodia is the most effective appetite suppressant – is this true
Hoodia Gordonii is very effective as a preventative weight loss aid but it is estimated that over 80% of the Hoodia type products you see advertised on the web and in health stores do not actually contain the p57 ingredient. It is not “Hoodia” that aids weight loss but only one of 12 ingredients extracted from the plant – this ingredient is called p57.
When buying a Hoodia product look for CITES certification – this is proof that the Hoodia tablet you are buying contains genuine Hoodia p57 extract.
What are fat burners – do fat burners work
Fat burning slimming pills are supposed to burn fat by increasing the metabolic rate of the body – there is no clinical data to suggest that fat burning can be acheived by taking a pill. In order for a fat burning pill to work calories need first to be ingested by the body and then removed
Fat binding or fat blocking is by the far the most effective way of stopping fat from being absorbed into the body.
