Its been a while since we have written anything on the diet pill sensation of 2009 – Alli

When Alli was first introduced most discussion topics were focused on the potential side effects that Ali could cause.

Alli Orlistat was first released on the American market mid 2008, the UK followed several months later.

American Alli users coined the phrase “Alli Oops” in reference to that side effect that some users experienced whilst using the diet pill.

If this is the first time you have read anything about Alli – read our Alli Review

The Alli Side Effect

So lets discuss the Alli side effect (not side effects, there appears to be just the one).

Without getting to technical this is what happens when you take Alli …

Firstly, Alli is a fat blocker – this means the active ingredient (Orlistat) stops or prevents some (about 28% – 30%) of the fat from the food that you eat from entering and being absorbed by your digestive system.

So this undigested or unabsorbed fat does not congregate on your stomach, hips, bum or anywhere else on your body where you are prone to fatty deposits.

But – it has to leave your body somehow and somewhere! The undigested, unabsorbed fat leaves your body via bowel movements and as this portion of fat has not being through your stomach’s digestive process it is still in its raw state, ie… an orange goo.

The fact remains though – the Alli oops problem does not occur frequently, it is only occasionally.

Alli critics are keen to point this out but this is just underlines the fact that the diet pill is actually working and doing its job.

In the same same vein as you cannot make a omelette without breaking eggs and every positive reaction has an equal negative reaction (and other inappropriate idioms) – You cannot expect something that blocks fat from entering one direction or place to not be re-routed.

Perhaps the best quotation we have found is a snippet from a weight loss forum.

“Ladies – if you want pristine white panties at all times whilst remaining unhappy, self conscious and fat don’t use Alli.

However – if you want a tried, tested and trusted way of losing your excess body fat with the occasional yellow spot in your smalls, use Alli”

Alli – The Bottom Line

Even with the most famous side effect in diet pill history Alli is still an ultra effective and highly recommended diet pill.

It is the only FDA approved diet pill that is available to buy without prescription.

Where To Buy Alli

Alli is available to buy in many high street stores and web based stockists.

Obesimed according to its marketing material is a proven medically developed treatment for weight loss and weight management for mildly to extremely overweight individuals.

It is non prescription and can be purchased without GP or doctor intervention.

It is been well researched and is formulated in accordance with strict quality standards of ISO 13485: 2003. Obesimed^® is a Class IIa medical device that conforms with the medical device directive 93/42/EEC.

It is surprising (or not) that a high majority of commercially available diet pills have no medical backing, no clinical trials performed or do not conform to quality standards.

Obisimed is well qualified – but is it worth considering!

How Does Obesimed Work

Obesimed is a medical device for treating mildly to extremely overweight adults and children from 10 years of age.

This is quite unusual as most over thre counter or non prescription diet pills are not aimed at the under 18’s.

Using Obesimed may help prevent excessive eating behaviour, supports balanced eating habits and leads to considerable weight loss.

Watch Obesimed Commercial

The active ingredient in Obesimed acts like a sponge and absorbs large quantities of water and forms a natural substance filling the stomach. This produces a full feeling contributing to satisfaction during the meal and the period afterwards. Obesimed^® reduces the speed at which the food leaves the stomach by forming a viscous yellow matrix.

A Mild Appetite Suppressant That Can Also Stop Fat Absorption

It promotes satisfaction in the stomach thus preventing extreme overweight and encouraging other eating habits.

The substance may also help to maintain healthy cholesterol levels and bowel habits. The active ingredient in Obesimed^® is a natural fibre that is not absorbed and digested by the body. Obesimed^® is a class IIa medical device.

Side Effects Of Obesimed

There are few side effects associated with this product. A Mild stomach upset and/or intestinal complaints may occur, such as slight diarrhea, reflux and gas.

These side effects in most cases disappear after a few days or usage. However it is recommended to consult your physician if complaints last longer than three to five days.

Does Obesimed Work

There is little doubt that Obesimed is effective but the real problem lies in the side effects that could occur.

There are commercial products available that offer similar weight loss results with the risk of potential adverse reactions

Where To Buy Obesimed

Can be purchased in may online stockists. Currently available from Healthspark at around £47 to £49 for a months supply.

Supermarket chain Tesco stock a number of weight loss products particularly in their larger Tesco Express stores.

Adios, Lipobind, Alli, and Appesat are the well known brands – but Tesco has produced its own brand called Tesco Slim Aid

Billed as a herbal remedy containing fucus (a seaweed), dandelion and boldo (a South American herb) it is not dissimilar to Adios

In fact in all probability Tesco has re-branded the Adios product under its own license.

Tesco Slim Aid Side Effects

Highky unlikely to cause any harmful side effects if taken as suggested.

Does Tesco Slim Aid Work

Not the most potent of diet pill it has to be said. User reviews and consumer comments contained in various weight loss forums are somewhat mixed.

Where To Buy Tesco Slim Aid

In store at Tesco costing around £3.99

Alternative Diet Pills To Consider

Capsiplex is the new chili diet pill that has been making the headlines since its arrival.

Purefect Aid 4 Slimming capsules are part of the 3 step diet plan from HowToGetSlim, the new weight loss product from Natural Detox Ltd.

Recently advertised in the media (OK Magazine and Sunday Express magazine supplement) the manufacturers explain that now summer is approaching a more desirable physique is necessary.

HowToGetSlim was founded in 2007 by Richard Myerson and a team of highly qualified personal trainers, weight loss experts and dietitians.

Their aim was to create an easy, highly effective system for anyone who wants to lose weight fast, with minimal effort.

3 Weight Loss Products In One

The marketing is pretty good – howabout the product!

Step 1. Purefect Aid 4 Slimming capsules are natural diet pills that are reported to help get rid of fat, waste and bloating, for fast weight loss and detoxification.

Step 2. A diet patch containing Fucus vesiculosus & 5-HTP to speed metabolism and act as an appetite suppressant, Guarana that can assist with the burning of excess body fat and Lecithin & L-carnitine metabolizes fatty acids and distributes bodyweight.

Step 3. A Diet and Fitness Plan. Using online videos and suggested meal plan.

The cost for all this is £49.95 and available only to UK customers.

The main components of this product are obviously the Purefect Aid 4 Slimming diet pill and the slimming patch – when the fluff of the marketing are removed you are left with a diet pill (detox) that does not really explain how it works or what is actually included in the formula.

The slimming patch does reveal the ingredients but does not have any clinical references as such to highlight its efficacy.

Alli is the fat blocker that can stop fat absorption but can also be prone to one quite embarrassing side effect.

Alli is the only non prescription diet pill to be granted FDA approval and is manufactured by pharmaceutical giant GSK – whether this is connected is up for interpretation.

Slimmer’s Delight is a natural dietary supplement that is made up  of vitamins, minerals and amino acids and is formulated to aid weight management.

Slimmer’s Delight is not a stand alone diet pill as such, it is recommended for those currently on a diet or a healthy eating plan,

The main ingredients are as follows:

L-Tyrosine – Is a non essential amino acid (protein building block necessary for optimum health) that the body synthesizes from phenylalanine, another amino acid. It is important to the structure of almost all proteins in the body. L-Tyrosine also acts as an appetite suppressant.

Chitosan – Is a special fibre which has the ability to absorb fats and oils, by binding with fat molecules and converting them into a form which the human body will not absorb. Chitosan though, is still relatively untried on human beings.

Coleus Forskohlii – Is a natural plant extract that can promote excess fat loss whilst retaining lean muscle tissue.

Guarana – Is beneficial for overall health, and improves stamina and endurance.

Chromium – A staple ingredient used to synthesize fats and proteins in the body.

Does Slimmer Delight Cause Side Effects

Should not cause any side effects if taken as recommended.

Does Slimmers Delight Work – Is It Recommended

Not the most potent of diet pill – although Guarana is an interesting and potent ingredient.

Looking Elsewhere

Zotrim is possibly the most effective diet pill that includes Guarana.

Zotrim includes Yerba Mate and Damiana, two clinically proven ingredients.

The official Adipril website invites you to “Stop wasting money on diet pills that are never going to work”

It also goes on to say that it can help you “lose 10lbs in 7 days” – or is it 7lbs in 10 days?

Very similar in marketing tactics to several other American fat burners that are currently proliferating the internet.

What Is Adipril

A non prescription fat burner that is available to buy without GP intervention or consultation.

It contains mostly natural ingredients that are more or less identical to a whole host of over competitive fat burners that hail from the United States.

How Does Adipril Work

The ingredients within the formula produce a thermogenesis effect or fat burning effect for want of another word.

To achieve fat loss – fat needs to broken down and released from fat cells. Then the fat needs to be transported to muscle cells.

This is the theory anyway.

Many experts believe that fat burners simply do not work. They only serve the purpose of increasing the heart rate, making your palms and feet incredibly sweaty and causing frequent trips to the lavatory.

Adipril Side Effects

Fat burners generically can in addition to the points raised above also cause restlessness, irritability, headache, nausea and insomnia.

Does Adipril Work

The kindest thing we can say regarding Adipril is that is not a product to pin your weight loss hopes to.

Where To Buy Adipril UK

The sole stockist appears to be from its official website – it does not appear to be available to buy on the high street.

Alternative Diet Pills

Appetite suppressants are largely considered to be one of the most effective genres of diet pills.

Hoodia Gordonii is possibly the one with the most compelling evidence.

The 7 Day Slimming Pill is a non prescription diet pill that claims it can help you lose up to 20 lbs in the first week of usage.

It is a fat burner and also has detox agents to cleanse your digestive system and rid it of harmful toxins and excess waste material that can build up over time.

There is a two step action involved with the 7 Day Diet Pill:

Fat Burning Ingredients - the 7 Day Diet Pill claims it contain premier and fast acting ingredients to reduce fat content from your system.

These fast acting metabolic boosters can increase fat burning potential by up to 78%.

Detox Ingredients – the 7 Day Diet Pill also claims it can rid of toxins caused by undigested material laying in your small intestines.

These toxins can disrupt your glandular functions and slow down your metabolic rate.

Is It Possible To Lose 7 lbs in 7 Days?

The short answer is yes, but it is not sustainable – most product that offer a quick weight loss solution, in reality offer a very temporary solution.

A majority of the weight that is lost is not fat but excess water – the initially weigh is usually put straight back on again

7 Day Slimming Pill Side Effects

Should not cause anything severe – however some users have complained about unusual bowel movements.

Does The 7 Day Slimming Pill Work

The problem with products such as this is that too many ingredients are present in the formula – there are 35 ingredients in the 7 Day Slimming Pill. the lesser ingredients tend to dilute the effect of the more effective ones

Where To Buy 7 Day Slimming Pill UK

Currently only available to buy from the official website.

Not a month seems to elapse without another new diet pill coming on to the market with a highly ambitious headline in its marketing material.

The latest diet product with a story to tell is Adipozin – yet another diet pill with an easy (sic) to remember name.

“lose 4 to 9 lbs per week”

The official website claims it can help you to lose 4 to 9 lbs per week and is responsible for 579% more weight loss than the leading diet pill.

If you subscribe to this kind of claim then you may want a look at another similarly marketed diet pill – Apidexin

Apidexin is responsible for just 4 to 7 lbs per week and only 400% more weight loss than the leading ……blah… blah …

So you may want to hold fire on a purchase until next month where in all probability 4 – 11 lbs per week and 834% more weight loss

It would be irresponsible for us to label Adipozin (and the dozens upon dozens of similar products)  a scam – but do you honestly buy into this!

How Does Adipozin Work

It contains ingredients that can burn fat, suppress appetite and increase energy levels.

The one saving grace for Adipozin is that is does contain some clinically proven ingredients.

Yerba Mate, Guarana and Damiana are the staple ingredients of Zotrim – its just a pity not enough of these ingredients are present to be truly effective.

Green tea is also consider to be a fine fat burning and anti oxidant substance – plus pomegranate is well known for its properties to increase blood flow and give a pep to your sex life.

Does Adipozin Cause Side Effects

Its a fairly new product and so not that much by way of customer success stories are available.

Does Adipozin Work

Probably not!

Where To Buy Adipozin In The UK

It is a internet only product and not available to buy on the high street.

Is It Recommended

One of the most under used genres of diet pills is the carb blocker. Many people will try to avoid eating fatty or sugary foods and try to discover various ways to cut down on fat consumption.

Reducing the amount of sugar rich or fatty foods is indeed thoroughly recommended but it is another food group, namely, carbohydrates that may be preventing you from achieving your weight loss goals.

What Are Carbohydrates

Carbohydrates are an essential part of your daily diet, commonly known as carbs, these are a chemical compound consisting only of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.

Carbohydrates are found in common foods that eaten everyday often without realising.

Carbohydrates are split into two groups: There are good carbs and bad carbs

It may seem strange calling a specific group of essential foods “bad” and may cause someone to cease from consuming anything from within the group, but all carbohydrates taken in moderation are absolutely essential to optimum health..

Good (Complex) Carbs

Also known as Complex Carbs and found in foodstuffs such as fresh vegetables, fruit, whole grain fibre as well as some nuts and seeds, beans and low fat dairy produce.

Bad (Simple) Carbs

Also known as Simple Carbs and present in foods such as bread, pasta, cakes, as well as white rice and potatoes are considered bad.

Simple carbs are digested much quicker than complex carbs.

Carbohydrates Provide Fuel And Energy

Carbohydrates are one of three building blocks that are considered essential for human beings – the other two being proteins and fats.

When carbohydrates are absorbed by the stomach and enter the blood stream they are broken down into glucose, it is this glucose that is considered to be the body’s fuel and provides energy.

If certain foods are consumed that has more carbohydrates than your body can utilise initially, your body will converts the extra carbs to fat and will store it in fatty cells to use in the future. This is a human adaptive mechanism to keep your body from starving when food is rationed or not available

The obvious negatives to this process is that excess body fat will become noticeable and prominent.

How Carb Blockers Work

A carb blocker will usually be taken in capsule pill or tablet form

Taking a carb blocker before a meal has the natural effect of restricting the digestive enzyme’s ability to process carbs, which means that complex starchy carbohydrates remain undigested and pass harmlessly out of the body and leave via bowel movements.

Dietrine is possibly the UK’s best known and most widely sold carb blocker.
