Prescribed Slimming Drugs

Categories: Articles    

Diet Drugs On Prescription

prescription-diet-pills1Many doctors who have knowledge or expertise in the field of diet and weight loss offer a difference of opinion on the subject of slimming pills. Some are keen to prescribe whilst others suggest more traditional, less chemically based methods for losing excess body weight.

Slimming pills via prescription are the complete opposite from the more herbal and natural products that are freely available to purchase on the high street or internet. Prescription slimming pills are chemical based compounds that are produced by pharmaceutical companies and can often cause more problems than they solve i respect of side effects and health issues

It is extremely difficult to simply request a course or prescription -  a doctor will usually want to assess your current situation: your lifestyle, eating habits and overall health. Your BMI (Body Mass Index) will be ascertained and if you fall into the realms of obesity (typically a BMI of over 32) you may qualify for a prescribed slimming drug. This though will depend on you doctor and his her view on the subject of slimming pills

Your doctor will not prescribe anything without due consideration, he or she will highlight the possible and potential ramifications should the drug not agree with you and tell you to pause or stop taking the drug if any ill effect is experienced.

The most likely slimming pills that a doctor will prescribe are Xenical, Phentermine, Meridia or Reductil. Prior to October 2008 another product, Acomplia Rimonabant would have been an addition to to the four above -  but recent cases where severe side effects were reported have forced the removal of Acomplia amid safety issues.

Out of the aforementioned, the most common prescription slimming drug is Xenical and the most likely a doctor would prescribe, a doctor is 10x more likely to prescribe Xenical than any other current diet drug

Xenical is the brand name or Orlistat. Orlistat is a powerful fat blocker that can prevent up to a third of dietary fat from food consumed from being absorbed and digested by the stomach. The undigested fat can then pass through the body via bowel movements.

Xenical is considered to be one of the safest prescribed slimming drugs but can produce a wide range of potential effects ranging from the minor irritant to the more severe.

Prescription slimming drugs are restricted from the commercial market for a reason and it is vital that no attempt is made to purchase, especially from the web where the black market is rife and “hard to acquire drugs” thrive.

If by now you think may be a suitable candidate and are about to make an appointment to visit your doctor to discuss concerns you may have about any weight issues, ensure that you understand the potential risks and possible dangers that a drug could inflict

Before making any GP visit or consultation it is highly recommended to be prepared with details of your current lifestyle, eating habits and any present or future fitness plans.

It is highly unlikely that your GP will prescribe anything unless you can prove to him or her that you are not going to rely on the diet pill for your weight loss without making a concerted effort to change your eating habits and embark on some sort of fitness regime.

Nowadays the distance between the potency of the prescription only slimming drug and diet pills from the natural world is remarkably narrow. UK manufacturer Lativio have produced a natural fat binder that works in a similar fashion to Xenical but without the potential side effects. Proactol has been available to purcahse since 2005 and is currently enjoying postive critical reviews. More about Proactol

Dieting Tips On The Cheap

Categories: Articles, Low Fat Diets    

10 Tips For Dieting That Wont Cost A Penny

Dieting and trying to lose weight can be quite expensive. You could end up losing pounds as well as lbs!

With this in mind we have put together another top ten tips for losing weight that do not involve any fad diets or extravagant diet plans.

Losing weight usually means less not more.

1. Taking on plenty of fluids is essential for the weight loss process. Water is especially beneficial as it is very low in calories and will flush away harmful toxins

2. Season fruits and vegetables are also essential. Try to eat at least 5 of each per day. Fruits have phytochemicals that can prevent diseases.

3. Eat only when you feel hungry and enjoy your meal, Chew your food well before swallowing. Do not eat to point where you feel bloated, stuffed, or exhausted after eating. Avoid snacks while watching television especially after dinner.

4. Try to eat 4 or 5 smaller meals throughout the day. The classic 3 meals a day with the “big one” just before bed time is not good for the weight loss process.

5. According to the modern concept, a balanced diet with high but healthy protein and moderate carbohydrate along with regular fitness exercises helps best to reduce weight. Protein burns fat and conserves muscle mass.

6. Healthy food need not be bland – introduce spices into your menu. A sprinkle of herbs, salsa or pepper can add taste and not calories – avoid salt.

7. Opt for the ‘3H Food’ (Healthy, Home cooked, and Hygienic).

8. Use a smaller plate – you eat with your eyes and so a smaller plate will give the impression of a larger portion.

9. A cup of Vegetable or a cup of pasta? If you are a diet freak, then go for the cup of vegetable; you will save 100 to 200 calories!!

10. Do not rely on food as a stress buster. Comforting eating is not that comfortable especially where your waistline is concerned. In times of stress don’t reach for the biscuit tin – run up and down on the spot.

Weight Loss, Pregnancy & Slimming Supplements

Categories: Articles    

Pregnancy, Weight Loss And Slimming Supplements

One the negative by products of pregnancy is the inevitable weight gain. The average expectant mother can gain between 25 to 30 lbs (pounds) during pregnancy.

This figure may seem horrific but it is an experience that happens to women the world the over. Many experts believe that it takes nine months to gain this excess weight so for a healthy safe weight reduction, plan to lose the weight in nine months.

During pregnancy it is highly advised to refrain from taking any kind of diet pill or slimming supplement – whatever supplement that is taken will be absorbed by not only the mother but also their unborn child.

The general rule of thumb concerning not only slimming supplements but any other kind is consult with your GP first.

Slimming Supplements After Childbirth

After the child is born the temptation would be to lose the excess weight as quickly as possible – diet pills or slimming supplements enter into the equation again.

If a mother is breast feeding, any supplement taken would also be absorbed by the new born child. If in doubt do not take a supplement when either pregnant or breast feeding.

After the child is not reliant on the mother for nutrients directly (breast feeding) it is perfectly safe to introduce a slimming supplement if required.

Best Slimming Supplement To Lose Baby Fat

One of the most effective slimming supplements to take to help with getting rid of baby fat is Proactol.

Proactol was recently featured in US publication Florida Style – Read the Florida Style Proactol Article

Low Calorie Diets

Categories: Articles, Low Fat Diets    

Do Low Calorie Diets Work

A low calorie diet is just a generic term to describe a diet that involves reducing the amount of calories taken on by the body.

Typically, low calorie diets require a range of about 1000 to 1300 calories per day.

Although the principle is correct a huge proportion of low calorie diets do not actually specify which foods to eat and which not to – preference given to calorie counting during the course of the day.

Calories consumed provide fuel for the body. Consuming less calories during the course of the day, the body then burns stored fat as opposed to calories for its effective functioning.

A woman who has a busy and very active lifestyle will need on average 2300 calories per day with a man needing 300 to 400 more.

An individual who does not lead an active lifestyle will require on average 500 less per day.

Low calories diets should be complimented with foodstuffs from 3 different food groups to give a good balanced diet.

Carbohydrates

It is highly advised that at least half (50%) of your daily diet comprises of carbohydrates – carbohydrates provide energy.

Carbohydrates are typically found in: potatoes, rice, pasta and bread.

Fats

Fats are an essential part of your daily intake – at least a quarter of your daily diet should involve fats. Fats also provided our body with energy and also cause satiety (a feeling of fullness)

Proteins

Proteins are crucial and provide us with nutrients. Protein is responsible for growth, cell reproduction and all round functioning of our body.

Excluding any of the three food groups could cause more problems than it solves. Simply reducing the amount of food we consume is not advised over and above a balanced diet.

Tesco eDiets provided several diet plans tailored to providing you with a balanced diet that is not just centred around calorie reduction.

Foods To Avoid When Dieting

Categories: Articles    

Foods Not To Eat When Trying To Slim

Any successful slimmer will confirm that losing weight does not come without sacrifice. Cutting back on certain foods or reducing food portions is an absolute neccessity.

It is a pity that a majority of foods that should be avoided are probably the most appealing. But – no gain without pain.

If you enjoy your food just that little bit too much and overindulgence is a word that befits your profile, you have to change.

There is little point staring into a full length mirror forlornly while the last remnants of the chicken bhuna you polished off for dinner still sits in your kitchen.

Here are some foods you should try to avoid

  1. Take-aways – possibly the worst type of food to eat when trying to lose weight are burgers, kebabs, chips, pizza and other fried foods. Curry and Oriental take aways should be avoided as well
  2. Chocolate – when popping into a petrol station keep your eyes firmly focused in front of you and don’t be tempted to sneak out with a Bounty bar , Twix or Mint Aero. If you simply have eat a chocolate bar, eat a Curly Wurly.
  3. Sugar – by all means have a cup of tea or coffee, both have some fat burning qualities, but dont void the effect by heaping a couple of teaspoons of sugar in.
  4. Biscuits – while on the subject of tea and coffee, remember biscuits are bad!!!
  5. Cakes – chocolate eclairs taste lovely but they are poison you hear – poison.
  6. White Bread – if you must have a bacon sarnie – make sure you remove the rind and wipe away any fat and use brown bread instead of white. Brown bread good, white bread bad.
  7. Fizzy Drinks – such as coke, 7up, Pepsi and other sugar laden beverages.
  8. Alcohol – beer, lager, wine basically all things that make you drunk will also make you fat.

The Reverse Diet

Categories: Articles, Low Fat Diets, Low Fat Living    

Reverse Diet Plan Review

The principle behind the Reverse Diet is to plan your meals in reverse – dinner for breakfast and breakfast for dinner.

But this does not necessarily mean tucking into cornflakes while dressed in evening attire, more a case of eating breakfast like a King, lunch like a Prince and dinner like a pauper. So, smaller portions as the day progresses.

Diet experts believe that calories taken on at the start of the day are burnt off easier than later on in the day as we are more mobile at the beginning of the day than at the end. By eating bigger portions when we awake we are least likely to put on weight.

Breakfast Like A King – Dinner like a pauper

History Of The Reverse Diet

Tricia Cunningham is the originator of the Reverse Diet – Tricia lost vast amounts of weight and trimmed her BMI considerably by eating her meals throughout the day in reverse.

A typical breakfast for Tricia would be rice and vegetables. While in the evening just a bowl of cereal or a slice of toast.

In conjuntion with nutritionist Heidi Skolnik, Tricia put her expertise into the best selling book that has become a huge hit with Hollywood A-listers.

The Reverse Diet Rules

There are three main rules

1. Start the day with a big breakfast

2. Eat a smaller lunch Finish the day with a tiny dinner

3. Eat a Small dinner

Of all the all the diets and diet plans in existence this has to be the easiest to follow – but how Tricia Cunningham managed to spin a complete book out of this principle is both amazing and profitable.

The book draws up meal plans and recipe ideas and if you don’t relish the idea of meat and potatoes for breakfast, just eat more of what you usually have in the morning and gradually reduce the amount you eat at each meal.

Is The Reverse Diet Plan Effective

The author claims that it was responsible for 162lbs of weight loss. Some of the A-list celebrities who are keen followers of the Reverse Diet include: Denise Van Outen, Angelina Jolie and Beyonce Knowles

The Pro’s

Reducing the size of you food portion before bedtime is a major positive, spending eight hours or so with a stomach full of food is not the healthiest of instances.

The Con’s

Who has time in the morning to prepare a large meal before the start of a busy schedule (apart from Beyonce et al)

Summary

Nothing rally can be gained form the buying the book – 200 pages of waffle to describe the reversal principle.

Weight Loss For Mums

How Can Busy Mums Lose Weight

Now the kids are back at school, most Mums are counting the cost of the summer excesses and the thought of subjecting themselves to a weighing in session may seem horrific.

Picking up a magazine and reading about the latest model or celebrity and their weight loss success does nothing to inspire especially when budget is taken into consideration. We haven’t all got spare cash for liposuction.
