Which Slimming Pills?

Which Slimming Pills To Buy

With literally hundreds of slimming pills, diet supplements or weight loss products available to buy - choosing wisely has many factors to be taken into consideration.

HoodiaGuide is pro Hoodia - we will make no apologies for this.

Authentic, genuine and pure Hoodia is a wonderful and effective diet aid, but different circumstances have a major bearing on whether Hoodia should be the diet pill of choice.

People who want or need to lose weight can be very crudely pigeon holed into three categories.

The Morbidly Obese

Morbidly obese people should seek medical attention - an over the counter slimming pill or non prescription diet aid is not a recommended solution. BMI (Body Mass Index) is a rough indicator as to which category you are in. A BMI of 40+ is considered dangerously overweight. Check your BMI here

Any medication or weight loss drugs should in all cases be administered under strict medical supervision. In most cases a large percentage of body fat needs to be shed.

The extremely overweight should lose weight in the safest possible manner and should not subject their body to a metabolsim shock - Some doctors or GP’s are in favour of slimming pills, some are not.

Possibly the most widley used GP prescribed slimming pill is Orlistat - brand name Xenical. Xenixal is a fat blocker that is extremely effective but can be prone to side effects, hence the need for GP supervision whilst on the drug. Read more about Xenical

The Overweight

This is a rather ambigious category - the overweight sometimes do not necessarily believe they are overweight, prefering to ignore comments and the obvious physical signs. Others understand their problem but either choose not do anything or find the thought of embarking on a weight loss journey to difficult to contemplate.

This category are ideal candidates for an over the counter slimming pill - but it is here that the choices have to be made. Xenical is not availlable to purchase and so is not an option. An understregth version of Xenical is available to purchase - brand name Alli, but it can produce side effects, although not serious but more an inconvenience. Read about Alli

Fat binding is similar to fat blocking (Xenical) without the potential side effects. Two of the most effective fat binding tablets freely available to buy without prescription are Proactol and LIPObind

Appetite suppressants are great for anyone who finds it difficult to reduce the amount of food they would normally consume. Appetite suppressants can dramtically reduce feeking of hunger - over time weight loss is natural result. Read how appetite suppressants work

Becomming Overweight

The third category are those that are just showing the signs of becomming overweight - usually the type of people that are middle aged and are not as active as they once were or enjoying the fruits of their labour and eating and drinking more than they should.

Appetite suppressants and fat binders are great methods for this group - but then agin so is plain and simple exercise. There is no myth or secret to staying in shape.

A word of warning concerning appetite suppressants - Hoodia is the most well known and widely sold appetite suppressor and prone to fake, replica or synthetic produce. Click here for a guide to buying Hoodia
