 | Currently, there are plenty of different pills under this denomination, from the pharmaceutically registered ones to the ones made from medicinal herbs and master recipes. |
The pills can be natural, chemical o from any other base. Without taking into account the type of pills, all of them offer us the same purpose: Be able to lose weight. But, in spite of the so tempting promise of being able to lose weight, we should not start to use them without taking the correct precautions and consulting a professional to control the pills' formulations and the possible side effects that may occurr.
All pills can be classified in a general way according to the effects that they may cause:
A.- Eliminate hunger: They regulate the appetite with fibbers that increase their size in the stomach producing a feeling of satiety. Generally, in the indications it is said to take them between 10 and 30 minutes before meals. They are not stated as dangerous for health, but they are not good for people who have intestine problems.
B.- Diuretics and laxatives: Pills o infusions made from plants known for their diuretic and laxative properties, such as dandelion, green tea, birch, artichoke, prum, etc. Most of them are very efficacious for digestive problems and liquid retention o constipation problems, but unfortunately, they do not help to eliminate the extra kilograms no matter what people say that they help to eliminate the fat reserves of the body. You should be cautious because they can generate dehydration in the organism.
C.- Decrease of fat resorption. They work by decreasing or impeding the fat resorption in the organism, specifically in the intestine. Generally, there are plenty naturally made pills that are based in this method, but currently they can be efficacious pharmaceutical products that are sold under medical prescription for the treatment of people with obesity problems. They have important side-effects that should always be controlled by a doctor.
| D.- Increase the energy waste: They acelérate the metabolic activity, burning big amounts of calories, without almost any energy waste. Generally, this type of pills have a very dubious efficacy. According to some research, in order to be able to burn calories without practising any activity, our body should be at a temperature similar to the one of an oven. All this is very unlikely. Diferencies between psychoactive pills and anorexic pills. |
In the group of psychoactive pills, we can find the stimulating type. They force the liberation of chemical substances like adrenaline and noradrenaline, producing an increase in the brain activity and stimulating in an artificial way the centre of the pleasure reward. In this way, you can obtain more energy, a more accelerated cardiac rhythm, a faster breathing, a higher blood pressure, a decrease in the appetite and sometimes euphoria or worries, according to the organism.
These pills contain high doses of amphetamine or uppers, like the ones made from the master recipes.
They inhibit the reuptake of seratonine and noradrenaline reducing the appetite by stimulating the feeling of satiety and producing an effect in the energy waste. Before consuming this type of pills, it is necessary to see a physician.
Natural Pills
We should be specially careful with this type of pills. Although in many cases they are made from completely natural products, in some cases they are made by mixing serious products with others that are not so serious. In many cases, they can be very useful, but in general we should prefer the pills made by the important pharmaceutical laboratories.
Among the hundreds of products that can be used, the most important ones are pills made from sea weeds, natural fibbers, spirulina, apple vinegar, soy lecithin, triplecolinate of chromium, etc.
As a final warning, we can say that you should always see your physician before starting one of these treatments, and be careful with the pills that promise to make you lose weight in a short period of time and without any effort, with the pills that are sold on the TV or the internet, with the magical formulae and with any other product that has a dubious composition. You can never lose in two days what you gain in several months or years.
