Which Diet Pills Work

Phentermine Appetite Suppressant

Phentermine is the term to describe the ingredient (Phentermine) and not a specific brand of slimming pill.

There appears to some confusion surrounding this powerful appetite suppressant – such as is it legal, it is a prescription drug or can I buy it over the counter.

So firstly, Phentermine is not an illegal slimming drug but it is a substance that is used as an active ingredient in some prescription only diet pills.

Phentermine is a stimulant that is similar to an amphetamine (speed). It is an appetite suppressant that affects the central nervous system by causing a feeling of satiety (fullness.)

Phentermine is aimed at people who are dangerously overweight or bordering on obese – not recommended for the causal dieter or for those who want to lose a few pounds for vanity reasons.

It was was first introduced in the late 1950’s – half a decade on and the aura of this drug still exists. In truth some of the naturally produced appetite suppressants using substances extracted from cactuses and seaweed offer a similar standard of weight loss effect while remaining virtually free from side effects.

Organic products such as Hoodia Gordonii are widely available and is the sensible alternative

Is Phentermine By Prescription Only

It is drug class weight loss medication and should only be administered by a GP or health care professional – unfortunately Phentermine is widely available to buy on the internet at many worldwide online pharmacies – it is highly advised to resist the temptation.

Phentermine is also know under the following brand names: Adipex-P, Dapex, Fastin, Ionamin, Obe-Nix, Obephen, Obermine, Obestine-30, Parmine, Phentrol, T-Diet, Teramin, Unifast Unicelles, Wilpowr.

Phentermine Side Effects

On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the worst – Phentermine scores a lofty 8 in side effects league. Do not consider taking Phentermine until you are well aware of the negative health implications.

Some of the side effects that have been associated are:

• A shortness of breath or breathing difficulties
• Weight gain, abdominal swelling
• Chest pain, fast or uneven heartbeat, feeling like you might pass out
• Mood swings, confusion or a state of unrest
• High blood pressure, with sever headache
• Blurred vision and hearing distortion
• Insomnia, difficulty sleeping or resting
• Diarrhea or constipation
• Hives or an itching sensation

Some users may experience an acute allergic reaction causing the lips, throat and air ways to restrict – if this occurs call the emergency services.

Is Phentermine Recommended

Phentermine is strong appetite suppressant – but the high risk of potentially dangerous side effects outweigh the benefits especially considering the natural world has several potent appetite suppressing product available that will not cause any of the symptoms above.

How To Combat Obesity With Diet Pills

If you are dangerously over weight and feel that a diet pill is your best chance of weight loss success, Phentermine is not the solution. Under no circumstances purchase this slimming drug from any online resource no matter how legitimate it may look.

An appointment to visit your GP should be made – some GP’s are pro diet pills, others are not. If your GP is pro diet pills, he or she may prescribe a course of Xenical.

Xenical is another drug classed weight loss medication and again only available via doctor prescription. Xenical is not side effect free but the possible health risks are greatly decreased. More about Xenical

If you are not considered obese or dangerously over weight you will have practically zero chance of a GP prescription.  If you are adamant that a diet pill offers you a high chance of weight loss success -  Read the Diet Pill Guide

Alli Weight Loss Pills

Alli is quite unique as much as it is the only over the counter (commercially available) diet pill that has been granted approval by the FDA (Food and Drugs Administration)

The FDA is the American equivalent of the UK’s MHRA (Medicines and Healthcare  Regulatory Authority) the governmental department set up to regulate the development, marketing and distribution of (among others) diet products.

Prescription diet pills (slimming drugs administered by doctors) have to be authorized by either body – whereas diet pills that can be purchased freely without prescription via the high street or internet are usually herbal in composition and do not need  approval.

What Is Alli

Alli is a lower strength version of  the pharmaceutical slimming drug Orlistat – more commonly recognized under the Xenical brand name.

Orlistat is potent diet pill that is only available to the obese or dangerously overweight – The lower strength (Alli) Orlistat is available to anyone.

Alli is produced by GlaxoSmithKline and competes in the over the counter diet pill market – as mentioned above, a prescription is not required.

Alli Is Now Available To Buy In The UK

Glaxo suggest that Alli is more than just a pill and supply a weight loss programme (or program) with every bottle purchased – in truth, the accompanying weight loss programme is nothing out of the ordinary and something that can be found for free by simply browsing the internet.

How Does Alli Work

Alli is a fat blocker, fat blockers work by stopping a percentage of fat from food consumed from being digested by the stomach. The undigested fat can pass through the stomach and leave via bowel movements.

Does Alli Cause Side Effects

Alli has many positives – but the one negative is quite a big one.

Alli has been available to purchase in the United States since late 2007, a new phrase has been born  the Alli Oops.

The active ingredient in Alli (Orlistat) blocks fat – it does not bind the fat, just simply stops it from being absorbed into the stomach. Undigested fat is orange in appearance and rather gooey. This orange goo can leave your body at a moments notice and sometimes without warning.

Alli users have taken to carrying a spare set of under clothes if journeying for lengthy periods.

Does Alli Work

Alli is clinically proven and has the approval from the highest governing body – there is little doubt that it is effective for losing body fat.

Is Alli Recommended

If the potentially inconvenient and embarrassing side effect is something that could live for the duration of your diet then Alli is worth considering.

Where To Buy Alli

Currently Boots the Chemist stock 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 however is via online UK registered chemists such as Slimming.com- £34.00 for the full month (82 pack) with the 42 pack around £19.00

Alternatives

Diet pills that stop fat from being absorbed are possibly the most effective of all the over the counter diet pill products.

Fat binders work in much the same way to fat blockers, but instead of just blocking a percentage of fat – they bind with it, allowing the fat to pass through your system in much solid state.

Fat binders do not cause the orange goo associated with fat blockers.

Proactol is a natural binder made from plant extracts that can also stop the absorption of fat from food consumed.

Proactol has the added advantage of being side effect free and free from chemicals.

Proactol was recently voted best binder for the second consecutive year by successful slimmers who participtated in a poll by the readers of the Telegraph.
