Japanese scientists discovered in clinical trials that slimmers who drank just 2 cups of Wuyi Cliff Oolong a day had over 150% greater fat burning results than those drinking the same amount of ordinary green tea.

Categories: Articles, Diet Product Reviews, Low Fat Living, Low Fat News    

Zotrim Slimming Tablets

Natural slimming tablet, Zotrim is in the media spotlight once again with national newspapers the Mail and the Express running feature stories on it.

Both newspapers underlined how the ingredients within Zotrim (Yerba Mate, Guarana and Damiana) can suppress appetite and reduce daily calorie intake by one fifth or 20%.

Read Zotrim Review

Reducing daily calorie intake is possibly the most effective and safest way to reduce your waist-line and more importantly make this weight loss permanent .

The average suggested daily calorie intake for women is about 1800 while men should take on  around 2200 – keeping to these boundaries is possibly the most effective method of maintaining your ideal weight.

Zotrim is clinically proven to control appetite and can greatly reduce the temptation to snack when perhaps you shouldn’t – when you consider that a chocolate bar can contain 200 – 300 calories, eating just two per day can take up nearly a third of your daily allowance.

Click on image to enlarge

Zotrim has been available without the need for a GP prescription for several years and has featured in the media on several occasions in the past

BBC2 television programme Diet Clinic ran an expose on the slimming tablet industry highlighting several well known high street brands and there effectiveness.

Zotrim fared pretty well to say the least – which is more than can be said of some of the others that are widely sold in store at the likes of Boots and Superdrug.

Zotrim is available to buy direct from its official website.

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

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.

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
