Slimming Pill Checklist

There are hundreds of slimming pills, diet tablets and weight loss supplements available either via prescription or free purchase over the counter or from the web.

With an abundance of choice where do you start? This easy to navigate checklist should reduce the choice and steer you in the right direction

Are You Considerably Over Weight Or Obese?

If you have an extremely high BMI (Body Mass Index) in the mid 30’s you may be eligible for a prescription slimming pill. Prescription slimming pills are not available to buy – So do not attempt to purchase from the web.

The most likely prescribed slimming pill is Xenical. Xenical is an anti obesity fat blocking treatment (or drug) that is prescribed by GP’s the world over.

Xenical is generally accepted as being the most effective anti obesity treatment. More about Xenical

If you do not fall under the category of seriously over weight or obese it highly probable that a slimming pill via prescription will not be open to you – if you wish to use a slimming pill then you have to explore the over the counter market.

Cant Seem To Shift Excess Body Fat?

If you are convinced that you are not guilty of over indulgence but still consider yourself to be over weight a fat binder could help you lose additional body fat.

The problem facing many dieters is not the food that they eat but more a case of how their body deals with the fat content.

Fat binders can prevent a portion of fat (around 25%) of the fat from our food consumed from being absorbed by our stomachs and stops it being converted into excess or stored fat.

Two of the most popular and widely sold fat binders are Lipobind and Proactol. Read Lipobind and Proactol comparison

Do You Enjoy Food Just A Little Too Much?

If you enjoy your food and understand that the most likely cause of current weight issue is over eating or snacking then an appetite suppressant is a product you should look closely at.

Cant Resist The Temptation To Snack?

PhenQ is possibly the most effective natural appetite suppressant – it is also highly adept at both burning and blocking body fat

On average a male will consume just over 2000 calories per day with a female just under. An appetite suppressant can reduce the need or want for food and create a feeling of fullness that can last for hours.

If you wish to sample an appetite suppressant we suggest you try PhenQ

Alli Slimming Pills 2017

With the sheer volume of promotion and column inches devoted to Alli, it should have been and would have been the best selling non prescription slimming pill of all time.

The FDA’s (Food and Drugs Administration) approval gave Alli a unique status.

FDA approval is something that is usually reserved for anti obesity medication that cannot be purchased without prior GP consultation and no other commercially available or over the counter slimming pill has (to date) been awarded this status.

GlaxoSmithKline manufacture Alli and from a marketing perspective Alli has should have been one of if not the best selling slimming pills of 2008.  From a consumer perspective Alli was a huge disappointment.

Alli was released around 18 months ago in the United States first and billed as  the $1 a day anti obesity drug that could help dieters to experience Rapid Weight Loss, Alli has been plagued with consumer reports and cause for concern over a side effect that is not so much dangerous but hugely embarrassing.

View the original Alli Review for more detail regarding the side effect that has kept consumers never too far from a bathroom or public convenience.

As as far as potential customers in the UK and Europe are concerned purchases up until now would have to be made from American online based websites such as HealthBuy. But recently, Alli has been awarded the seal of approval by Europe’s medicine watchdog and could be available in the UK and Europe as early as May 2009.

Alli Clinical Trials

Alli is a lower strength version of the prescription only anti obesity drug Orlistat, better name under the brand name of Xenical.

To date the clinical trials involving Alli have not been put under the microscope or replicated – The connection and association with Xenical and of course GlaxoSmithKline is an obvious help.

Dr Vidhu Bansal-Dev, of GlaxoSmithKline’s American weight loss and health and wellbeing advisor, said: “It (Alli) is the most extensively studied weight-loss drug on the planet and proven to be beneficial to those wanting to lose weight.”

But Gareth Williams, professor of medicine at Bristol University, doubts that the results gathered from the clinical studies on highly motivated individuals will be replicated among the general public who are not under controlled “workshop” conditions

He (Gareth Williams) wrote in the British Medical Journal: ‘Taking it (Alli) without medical supervision may achieve an average daily energy deficit of only 100 kcal – equivalent of leaving a few chips on a plate or eating an apple instead of ice cream.’

He also wrote that taking Alli was the equivalent of having “10 to 20 minutes of sex”.

Other Slimming Pills To Consider

PhenQ – the multi action fat burner, fat blocker and appetite suppressant that has received unprecedented media attention largely due to it ingredients that have been proven to burn body fat extremely rapidly.

PhenQ is arguably the most popular non prescription slimming pill in the UK, USA and mainland Europe.

PhenQ has a 60 day money back guarantee and can be shipped without a shipping cost anywhere in the world.

Best Herbal Slimming Pills

Quite literally millions if not billions of dollars and pounds are spent by consumers each and every year on slimming pills, weight loss tablets and slimming supplement.

Prescription only or doctor prescribed slimming pills are governed by strict guidelines and regulations and so a tighter reign can be kept on these weight loss products – most prescription only slimming pills are classed as medicinal or drug class and not available for the consumer to buy.

At the opposite end of the market is the herbal or natural weight loss products where the rules, regulations and control over these type of products is somewhat looser to put it mildly. The herbal slimming pill industry is very crowded and it is here that hype, over exaggeration and ultimately disappointment is commonplace.

While some pharmaceutical drug based slimming products are granted approval on the merits and safety of the product – others are granted approval through the power of the organizations behind the products. Money and profit can sometimes be the main driver. Read about Prescription Slimming Pills

Herbal Slimming Pills And Possible Side Effects

Some slimming pills can cause side effects – or treatment effects, whilst others are completely safe – although it is a misconception to assume that all herbal based products are safe and free from possible health risks. Most ingredients used in all genres of slimming pills have started out at some point being sourced from nature.

Herbal Slimming Pills Compared to Prescription Drugs

If the consumer were to think honestly most would prefer the natural alternative – but for some that luxury is not afforded. The obese and dangerously overweight need weight loss quickly and under supervision – this is why a weight loss drug such as Xenical plays an important part. More about Xenical here.

For the dieter that needs to lose weight and is not considered dangerously overweight the sheer choice of products is huge and confusing.

Cheap Herbal Slimming Pills

Where health is concerned, cheap doesn’t always equate to best – if price is an issue then there is real danger that the budget minded may pay for the privilege of a placebo effect and the only lbs they are likely to lose are from their wallet.

One of the most expensive natural diet pills is Hoodia Gordonii – an natural appetite suppressant that can take over 4 years to harvest. Hoodia has been clinically proven to work. More About Hoodia Gordonii here

Proactol is another natural slimming pill that is not cheap – a similar price point to Hoodia, Proactol can bind over a quarter of dietary fat intake from food consumed and reduce your calorie intake by 150.

Proactol has been clinically proven and has European and worldwide approval from the medical profession.  The ERSP a body set up to stop manufacturers making spurious claims about their product in an attempt to protect the consumer. Read about Proactol here
