Fat absorption inhibitors & Weight loss

If you are one of the millions of people in the country who are currently trying to lose weight, you might be tempted to try a diet supplement. As anyone who has lost weight can tell you, shedding extra pounds is hard work, and it takes a lot of focus and dedication. Counting calories, watching what you eat and getting enough exercise can be daunting. These are just a few of the reasons why the diet supplement business is so popular and enormous; people who are literally desperate to lose weight are looking for ways to help make the process easier and quicker.


Popular forms of weight loss supplements are Fat absorption inhibitors. Fat absorption inhibitors are drugs that prevent fat from absorbing into the body. Xenical is the only fat absorber that is currently approved for use in the UK. It works by blocking about 30 percent of fat from being assimilated. The weight loss drug Alli, available over the counter, is really Xenical in a smaller dosage.







Studies of Xenical & Alli have been fairly positive, people who took Xenical were found to lose weight.


If you really want to take a weight-loss drug, it seems like either Xenical or Alli are both designed to give the same result—a lower number on the bathroom scale. But it would probably be a really good idea to look over the side effects of both medicines, the diet you would be expected to follow at the same time, and if doing just the diet alone would give you the results you are looking for.

  1. It might be an option for some, though you might want to wear a diaper. Besides flatulence, anal leakage is a common issue.

  2. These medications may help some people who are severely obese and those who suffer from weight-related illness or pain. But eating a healthy diet and exercising always seems to work.

  3. Although I did get a laugh out of "Personal Trainer Los Angeles'" comment, it's a valid point. A lot of these supplements and "cure all"s can cause a lot of health related problems.
