Millions of people around the country and around the world suffer from obesity. Obesity can cause many health related problems as well as problems of a decidedly more psychological nature. Depression and other self esteem related issues are common for people in this situation. Many share in this problem and they are constantly looking for answers. One popular method is the use of diet pills for weight loss.
Now there are a variety of different diet pills on the market, each claiming to be an absolute miracle. Are these statements true? How do they work?
There are some who have claimed that by using these miracle pills that they have reduced their weights to a satisfactory level. There are also those that claim to have used the pills with absolutely no effect short of a decrease bank balance. Still there are others that claim to have had negative side effects by using these products.
Who's telling the truth? Could they all be? First let's delve into the nature of how diet pills are supposed to function. Most diet pills are designed to do one of two things. They are designed to either suppress your appetite or burn off the fat. Those two concepts are the foundations for which most of the diet pills today are founded.
Appetite suppression
The diet pills associated with appetite suppression deliver nutrients designed to quell your desire for food. The obvious benefit of this being, the less you consume the less you will gain, affording you the opportunity for weight loss.
Burn Fat
The other diet pills associated with burning fat are designed to attack fat on a cellular level. A mixture of amino acids strictly designed to attack the fat cells are included in each pill. These pills are supposed to assist in removing fat without the need for changing your eating habits or exercise plans.
Does it work?
This is a trick question. Yes and No. A diet pill that works for your friend, might not work out for you, or a pill that would help out your aunt will not do anything for your niece. I know that might sound confusing to some but here is the basis for this.
Everyone's body chemistry and genetic makeup is different. Just because a pill worked for your friend doesn't necessarily mean that it will work out for you. That also doesn't mean that it won't work. One thing that should definitely taken into consideration is that diet pills should not be looked upon as a long term weight loss solution.
Diet Pills are designed to be used for only approximately 6 months. After which time, the body will usually begin developing a tolerance for them. If the body develops a tolerance for it, the pills will pretty much become useless. This is why they should not be considered a long term weight loss solution.
