What is Alli (Orlistat)?

May 06
2010

In what for many was a surprise, but welcome relief, the US Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) have formally endorsed the first weight loss drug to be available over the counter without prescription, named “alli”.  The release of this anti-obesity wonder drug – the Alli Diet Pill - may well have come at the right time with recent reports showing a growing problem in both the European and US markets (with Europe particularly disappointing of late).  

While the US has been troubled by obesity for some time, with some 65 percent of adults overweight or obese, the problem is starting to take hold in Europe.  While weight loss pills have attracted some negative comment in the past, the fact the FDA have approved the product offers a great deal of support to many.

The Alli diet pill itself is a reduced strength version of the prescription weight loss drug Xenical (also known as Orlistat) which has an impressive safety record, and encouraging clinical trial results.  In the original trials of Xenical it was shown that when used in conjunction with a traditional weight loss program , the treatment resulted in an average loss of 12.4 pounds over 6 months (the placebo patients only losing half that amount).

What is Hoodia Gordonii?

May 03
2010

Latin Name: Hoodia gordonii
Other Names: hoodia, xhooba, !khoba, Ghaap, hoodia cactus, South African desert cactus

Hoodia (pronounced HOO-dee-ah) is a cactus-like plant that grows primarily in the semi-deserts of South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, and Angola.

In the last few years, hoodia has been heavily marketed for weight loss and has become immensely popular.

Although there has always been a demand for diet pills, after the ban on the herb ephedra, the market was particularly ripe for the next new diet pill.

Much of hoodia’s popularity stems from claims that the San Bushmen of the Kalahari desert relied on hoodia for thousands of years to ward off hunger and thirst during long hunting trips. They were said to have cut off the stem and eat the bitter-tasting plant.

Hoodia gordonii grows in clumps of green upright stems. Although it is often called a cactus because it resembles one, hoodia is actually a succulent plant.

It takes about five years before hoodia gordonii’s pale purple flowers appear and the plant can be harvested.

There are over 13 types of hoodia. The only active ingredient identified so far is a steroidal glycoside that has been called “p57″. Currently, only hoodia gordonii is thought to contain p57.

What is Slimex (sibutramine 15mg)?

Apr 30
2010

What Slimex (sibutramine 15mg) is used for:

Slimex is used to treat very overweight (obese) patients who have not been able to lose weight using a low calorie diet and exercise.

Your ideal weight may not be achieved even with Slimex . For the best results Slimex should be used in combination with a calorie controlled diet and a regular exercise routine. The intent of Slimex is to assist with moderate weight loss over 6 months (5-10%) – 9 months for diabetics – when used with a diet and exercise programme. This is in accordance with modern weight-loss practice, which emphasises that moderate weight loss achieves significant health improvement. Losing even modest amounts of weight (5-10% of your initial weight) and keeping it off has been found to reduce risks for diseases such as heart disease and diabetes. Set yourself realistic goals for weight loss and maintenance.

For best results, Slimex should be used together with a low fat diet and moderate exercise supervised by your doctor. If this is followed, you should notice some weight loss by the end of the first month of treatment. If you have not lost at least 2kg in the first four weeks of treatment, speak to your doctor.

Slimex does not work in the same way as traditional appetite suppressants. It works by altering the level of two chemicals in the brain, serotonin and noradrenaline, which help regulate energy intake and output.

The result is (1) you will not need to eat as much during your meals before you feel full, and (2) Slimex stops your metabolic rate from falling as much as it normally would. Metabolic rate normally falls during weight loss as you reduce your intake of food, making it harder to keep losing weight. However, there will still be fluctuations in your weight loss as the body uses many mechanisms to maintain your weight. This could be a reason some people do not achieve any benefit from Slimex .

Slimex is NOT meant to result in “overnight” weight-loss. A healthy rate of weight-loss is ½ to 1kg per week. Even though some people notice an effect on the size of their meals within a few days, it can take longer for others. Weight loss normally starts within 2 weeks and continues for up to 6 months (although in some people eg diabetics, it could take longer). Once your weight plateaus, continue to take Slimex , which will help sustain weight loss.

Continuing to take Slimex will help you maintain this new lower weight and assist to prevent weight being regained.

Slimex is not addictive or habit forming and has been approved for long-term use in weight management.

More about Acomplia (Rimonabant)

Information about Acomplia

Obesity is a major health concern; and obesity is more prevalent than ever before in today’s modern society. Our lifestyles these days are just not conducive to healthy weight management, and we all spend too much time sitting behind a desk, and not enough time getting regular exercise. Many of us are so busy that we don’t even have the time to eat right. The toll of this unhealthy lifestyle is excess fat that builds up over the years, and eventually becomes a major health threat.

Obesity has been proven to cause increased cancer prevalence’s, higher risks for heart disease, high cholesterol and high blood pressure. The statistics say that if you are obese, you will not live as long.

It can be difficult to lose weight. Anyone who has tried to diet knows how difficult and frustrating the process can be. Your body is accustomed to certain caloric intakes, and your body wants to regulate that intake at a steady level. If you try to cut down your caloric consumption, your body will react, and you will feel constant hunger.

Diet pills have been available for some time; but most of these pills either didn’t work, or they did work, but the side effects and dangers were so severe, that it simply wasn’t worth continuing. Thankfully, that has now changed. The release of Acomplia (rimonabant) now provides obese people with a safe and effective medical aid for weight loss.

Clinical studies have proven Acomplia to be the safest and most effective weight loss drug ever developed. Acomplia will help you lose weight, safely.

How does it work?

Acomplia is so effective, because it works by reducing your appetite. The active ingredient in Acomplia is a substance called rimonabant. Rimonabant works by targeting receptors in the endo cannibanoid region of the brain called the CB-1 Receptors. These receptors are responsible for the regulation and intake control of food. Rimonabant works through a process that reduces the activity level of these receptors, and by reducing the activity level, you reduce your sensation of appetite. Your body may still be crying out for food, but your brain just isn’t getting the message.
