Alli Starter Pack Or Refill Pack

The introduction of Alli to the UK high street  has caused slight confusion – there appears to be several different Alli products. Hopefully we can dispel any confusion.

There is only one Alli weight loss aid – it is a 60mg hard capsule, containing 60mg of Orlistat (the active ingredient)

If you do decide to purchase via high street outlets such as Boots, Superdrug, Tesco etc – you may be (should be) asked a few questions. Alli is designed for peple who have a BMI in excess of 28.

There are basically just two products to consider should you decide to use Alli.

They are detailed as follows:

Alli 60mg Hard Capsule 42 pack

Alli 60mg Hard Capsule 84 pack

The 42 pack is a two week supply whereas the 84 pack is the full month. Alli, as you may or may not realise is not herbal is it a drug classed product and so may cause a side effect.

UK consumers should ignore the starter pack and refill pack – it is more cost effective to purchase either the 42 or 84 pack

Before purchasing it is highly advised to become more acquainted with what Alli is and what it does.

Lipofuze Fat Burner UK Review

Lipofuze is a typical diet pill produced by the United States for the United States.

With the greatest respect to our cousins across the Atlantic, they do seem to fall into the hype laden trap that Lipofuze and dozens of similar products seem to set.

Lipofuze is over hyped, over advertised and unfortunately, over here.

What Is Lipofuze

A fat burner that contains the same or similar ingredients to many, many other fat burners. Remove the brand names and the products seem to blur into one.

“Lose 10lbs in 10 days or your money back” is the rather optimistic message on the official website.

The other marketing message that typifies US products is to try to eliminate the competition by using bold statements such as:

Stop Wasting Money On Diet Pills That Dont Work

…they should have really tagged on a “ours does, honest!”  for maximum impact.

Lipofuze Success Stories

The official website draws attention to clinical evidence and scientific study, although this appears to be very vague and not an awful lot of elaboration.

The weight loss success stories and testimonials are extremely positive on the Lipofuze website – more impartial sources are less than flattering!

Does Lipofuze Work

Highly doubtful.

Where To Buy Lipofuze

Very easy to find on the web, UK consumers may find ordering problematic.

Alternatives Diet Pills

Fat burners on the whole are the least effective genre of diet pills.

Just to underline this fact if you went to your GP or doctor and where eligible for a course of prescription diet pills, he or she would either prescribe a product that stops or prevents fat absorption (fat blocker, fat binder) or a product that suppresses appetite.

It is highly unlikely a fat burner would be prescribed.

The most credible and clinically proven diet pill available without prescription is a fat binder called Proactol

Proactol is manufactured and distributed from within the UK – its was voted “best finder” by successful dieters who participated in the Telegraph newspaper diet poll for the second year in succession (2008 -2009)

A full 6 month guarantee is in place – if you are not happy with your progress send it back! Communication is very transparent both prior to ordering and after sales.

A majority of products sold via the web nowadays are largely annoymous – Proactol displays a telephone and encourages telephone orders.

Diet Pills With Chitosan

Chitosan is a generic term rather than a specific diet pill brand.

Chitosan is a staple ingredient in a number of commercially available diet pills from the high street or via the internet.

A majority of non prescription diet pills are natural and herbal based – Chitosan, although natural, is derived from the exoskeletons of shellfish, it is a fibre complex consisting of extracts of shrimp and crab.

Diet Pills With Chitosan As An Ingredient

Chitosan is a fat blocker – fat blockers stop the absorption of a percentage of dietary fat.

One of the most commonly known and widely used prescription only fat blockers is Xenical (Orlistat). Xenical is not based around natural ingredients, it is very much a chemically produced diet drug.

Chitosan Clinical Studies

There are some pretty outrageous and unsubstantiated claims about Chitosan on many diet pill related web sites from sellers claiming that you can eat whatever you want and still lose weight.

However, very little evidence of clinical studies exist to verify these sensationalist claims.

Most of the clinical study that has been undertaken has been carried out on animals – not humans, and so any long term health implications are far from conclusive.

Chitosan Side Effects

To date, the possible short term side effects are very rare – some users may experience the following:

• Breathing difficulties
• Tightness in chest or throat
• Hives or skin rashes
• Itchy,  swollen ankles

The above reactions are rare but nonetheless exist – as mentioned above it is not the short term side effects that are of main concern but the potential,  largely unknown longer term.

Is Chitosan Worth Trying

Diet pills that stop fat absorption are generally accepted to be the most effective genre – however, Chitosan is not worth the risk considering the fact that herbal based products exist that offer no short term or long term adverse reaction.

Fat binders are particularly effective – More about Fat Binders
