Today's guest author's advice about weight loss supplements is very useful because it's easy to get confused because of the vast number of choices on the market. I thinkhis best comment is: diet pills are “helpers” not “fixers”. Absolutely right!
With swimsuit season just around the corner and people wanting to get in shape for the summer, consumers are searching for a weight loss supplement that works. Because diet pills have become increasingly popular over the last several decades many different companies are marketing their own version of these “quick fix” supplements and putting them on the shelves for shoppers to fall prey to. Many weight loss supplements advertise with slim models who have never battled with weight, or bodybuilders who spend hours in the gym every day.
But what about the average person who wants to drop a few pounds before they have to wiggle into a swimsuit this summer? Is there a diet pill out there that is going to make weight loss goals attainable and fit in with a busy lifestyle?
The answer is yes – but don’t be fooled by fad diet pills or pills that guarantee rapid weight loss in a short period of time. It took a while for you to gain those extra pounds and it’s going to take a good amount of time to get them off. Before choosing a weight loss supplement, consider the lifestyle you lead, the changes you want to make, asses your weight loss goals, and then proceed to choose a diet pill that is going to fit into your daily schedule and help you meet your fitness goals.
What to Consider When Using A Weight Loss Supplement
You need to understand that a weight loss supplement is not an easy way out of a problem that you’ve created for yourself. Diet pills are “helpers” not “fixers”; a diet pill will work just as hard as you do. If you begin eating better and exercising regularly then the results you see while using a diet pill will increase your results more than if you didn’t make any changes and expected the pill to do all of the work for you.
Weight loss pills, no matter what goes into them and who makes them, need to be combined with proper nutrition and an exercise plan in order to be effective and for you to see results. Don’t trust a diet pill that claims to make you lose weight while you sleep or lose weight without making any lifestyle changes at all. You cannot expect to sit on the couch eating potato chips and expect to lose weight.
Next, the diet pills that have proven to be the most effective act as either appetite suppressants or as fat-blockers.
An appetite suppressant curbs your appetite by releasing chemicals in the brain that act as stop signals and let you know that you’ve had enough to eat. Some of these chemicals that diet pills can affect are serotonin or leptin. Both of these chemicals work with the satiatory sensors and trick your body into believing it isn’t hungry so that you eat less and less often. No, appetite suppressants won’t make you starve — they’ll simply make your eating patterns more regular and healthier.
A fat blocker binds with the fat that you consume during a meal in your stomach and forms a viscous gel that can’t be absorbed. Fat blockers usually bind to about 30% of the fat you consume and your body passes it through the bowel system instead of absorbing it and storing it in your fat cells. Fat blockers are considered effective weight loss tools but have the potential to affect your bowel movements so they are not recommended for long periods of time.
Diet pills aren’t magical supplements that will make you lose weight without doing any work. If you’re under the impression that this is how they work, and are looking for a diet pill that is going to do this for you, then you need to reassess your idea of what a diet pill actually is before you buy a pill that is marketed towards quick and easy weight loss but will ultimately let you down when you don’t see the results you wanted. Finding weight loss pills that work involves a personal assessment of where you’d like to see yourself and then researching the pill that is going to work best with your lifestyle and fitness goals.
