Alli Diet Pills And Kinga Karolczak

Kinga Suffers Alli Side Effects

kinga-alli-success-storyThe introduction of the Miracle Diet Pill, Alli to eager UK dieters earlier in the spring has brought about controversy, misconception and a realisation that Alli may not be quite so miraculous as first thought.

On the day of release stocks of Alli were sold out in high street outlets such as Boots, Tesco and Asda’s as well as well as many registered online chemists and pharmacies – it is only now that the true picture is starting to form in connection with that side effect.

Alli has been billed the Miracle Diet Pill – but as usually is the case, genius does not without flaws, Alli has one very big flaw.

“I Am Never Using Alli Again

Alli testimonials, user reviews and real life experiences are filtering through – as yet there is not the usual majority endorsement. However there is one celebrity if that term can be used to describe former Big Brother housemate Kinga Karolczak

Oily Discharge Alli Side Effect

kinga-before-alliEarlier this year, Kinga was 10st 3lbs -  5ft tall in stocking feet and a size 14. She was asked if she wanted to trial Alli.

Kinga’s previous diet attempts had not proven a success with the Cabbage Soup Diet and Slim-Fast failing miserably, she turned to Alli – Kinga admits she was hopeful of a quick fix.

Kinga Lost a Stone …. and nearly her boyfriend

In the space of 2 short months Kinga lost nearly a stone – but it was the other effect that Alli is becoming noted for that caused to her say “I am never using Alli again

Alli has an awful lot positives connected to it – but one very embarrassing and very unpleasant side effect that could prove its undoing from a consumer point of view.

Alli (based on the fat blocker Orlistat) works by preventing the fat in food from being absorbed. But this means the undigested fat must pass through the body, leading to the most unpleasant of side effects including flatulence and runny stools.  More about Alli

Kinga’s overall experience of using the diet pill is not so much the stone in weight shed but the side effect and the disruption and nuisance it caused to her life.

Kinga explains how weight loss should not be at any cost “One morning, a week into taking the tablets, I woke up with a huge, dark yellow, oily stain all over my sheets. It was all over the seat of my pyjamas, too. Fat, which looked exactly like olive oil, had been leaking out of my bottom. It was disgusting…. more oil would leak out every few days”

The Big Brother star also explained how Alli nearly caused a rift in her lovelife  “I was constantly full of wind. My boyfriend Danny, 27, thought it was funny, as he’d never heard me pass wind before, but it didn’t make me feel sexy. And the smell was unbearable”

Thinking Of Using Alli

There is some pretty conclusive evidence that Alli will do what its advertised to do – if you have no objections to planning your day around frequent visits to the toilet then Alli is the diet pill for you.

Alli Alternatives

Fat binders work in much the same way to fat blockers (Alli is a fat blocker) with the bonus of binding with fat rather than blocking it completely.

Fat binders do not cause the oily discharge issue issue – the undigested, unabsorbed fat passes through the body in a solid (bound) state.

Proactol or Alli Fat BlockerProactol is one of the most effective fat binders available in the British marketplace. Proactol has been voted Best Fat Binder 2 years in succession by successful slimmers who participated in the Telegraph’s Best Ways To Lose Weight surveys. More about Proactol

Jessica Simpson Gains Weight

Jan 27, 2009   Categories: Celebrity Weight Loss

Dramatic Weight Gain by Jessica Simpson

jessica-simpson-weight-gainJust because you’re a celebrity, doesn’t mean it’s any easier to stay slim. And Jessica Simpson proves this by showing off her fuller, curvier figure as she performed at a concert in Florida over the weekend. (see pic)

In a recent interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Jessica admitted that she is an emotional eater, “I’m a nervous eater and this tour has made me a nervous wreck,” she said while explaining her weight gain over the past few weeks.

“Curves are better,” Simpson added later, “I don’t get the whole rail thing. It’s not good for your heart, it’s not good for your mind; it’s emotionally destructive, it really is.”

Although we review weight-loss products on this site, we do not condone the ‘Size 0′ mentality that some people seem to have. We agree that a sensible healthy diet, combined with the right dietary products and regular exercise can help people achieve a look and a body that’s comfortable for them.

So just because Jessica Simpson or Oprah have gained weight recently, does not mean it’s bad in any way. People have to be comfortable with their bodies. And if anything, it goes to prove how difficult it can be to maintain an ideal weight – particularly when you’re in the spotlight all the time.

We all lose and gain weight throughout the year, and some of us struggle more than others to keep the weight off or achieve our ideal figures.

Luckily though, there are some products that can help. From natural products like Hoodia, which help curb your appetite, to fat-absorbing products like Proactol which can prevent some of the fat you eat from turning into pounds on your body. It’s just a question of finding the product that works for you – and sticking to it for long enough so that it has a chance to work for you.

And although it’s interesting to read about the latest celebrity diet, and to see how much weight they’ve lost with a certain product; you have to remember that it isn’t necessarily going to work for you in exactly the same way. Particularly if they don’t tell you about the personal trainer who puts them through hell every day for 6 weeks so they can tell you about their latest miracle weight loss product!

So try a product that has got great reviews, positive press and has been working for people regularly for a year or two; then try it for yourself. Combine it with some moderate exercise and a healthy diet; then you can be the next celebrity weight loss story. Maybe you won’t make the cover of Vogue, but you’ll probably feel happier, healthier and fitter than you have for a long time.

Cameron Diaz Diet Secrets

Cameron Diaz is well known for her svelte and well toned body – but this was not was not always the case.

Cameron has to work at keeping her body slim.

Contrary to popular belief a majority of the super slim celebrities have to participate in a diet program to some degree.

Cameron’s interest in having a shapely body started when she had to acquire a well-toned and a slim body for the smash hit movie Charlie’s Angels.

After filming was over she started maintaining a regular exercise program and a planned diet programme.

For the film (Charlie’s Angels) she had to endure vigorous martial art training. Before the film she had never exercised as she associated it with discomfort – Cameron admits she was lazy, pre Angels.

For Charlie’s Angels she had to workout for three months regularly for five days in a week.

This made her body strong, and she realized the value of regular exercise. Now she goes to the gym to work out on an elliptical trainer for 30 minutes. Another 30 minutes she devotes to reverse lunges, light weights, and pilates.

Cameron is very fond of golfing and other sports like hiking and snow boarding.

Cameron breaks down her meals down into six definitive parts.

She believes in having protein-rich diet. For breakfast she likes to have chicken or beef, broccoli, egg, garlic rice, and lemon. For lunch she prefers to have chicken or beef and salad.

For dinner Cameron eats mushroom, tomato, onion, and egg. In between she takes protein shake with water, nuts, and fruits.

Cameron admits that she eats junk food at times but insists that it is done in moderation. At times she follows what she calls reverse diet.

In this, she eats a heavy breakfast, normal lunch, and a small dinner. Whenever she feels that she needs to drop some extra weight she has low calorie broth soup of vegetables before dinner.

How Did Britney Spears Lose Weight

Jan 10, 2009   Categories: Celebrity Weight Loss

Lose Weight Like Britney Spears

Britney Spears has faced many battles in her personal life – not least her battle to control her weight.

Britney Spears become sensation over night and burst onto the pop scene in the late nineties. After her success she seem to fall into the trap that can effect so many young stars that are thrust into the limelight.

This immensely popular singer had put on a lot of extra weight and appeared to let herself go after her pregnancies and personal problems.

It has been well documented by her shocking appearances in the press She needed to follow a strict discipline in her diet and physical training, and get her life back on track

Britney was very fond of her mother’s cooking which was high in carbohydrates and calories – the the best combination for anyone who is prone to gaining extra pounds with relatively little effort.

Other than that she admitted that she was addicted to junk food, fizzy drinks, and chips. During pregnancy she ate lots of chocolates and bags of cheetos. As a result she looked all bloated.

As she recovered from pregnancy she was keen to get back to shape.

She started on personal training. She has apparently lost 12 pounds in two weeks by vigorous training and diet control. She has been visiting a gym four times a week.

With the help of her personal trainer she has been working on treadmill and spinning bike which burns up extra calories.

As for her diet she has totally cut down on booze. She follows a nutritious diet of protein rich food. She takes six small meals a day with eggs, ham, seafood, tofu, and chicken. Protein helps in metabolism. It also makes one feel full. This leads to less eating and less craving.

More recently Britney has made many culinary sacrifices – she has cut down on sugar as it adds to calories. She even avoids fruit juice. She tries to keep to 1000- 1200 calories per day with just a turkey burger for lunch and egg whites for breakfast.

Appetite suppressants are extremely effective to help control hunger cravings – it is these hunger cravings that are responsible for us gaining additional and excess body fat.

Hoodia Gordonii is a natural appetite suppressant that can help quash these feelings of hunger. More about Hoodia Gordonii

Even after the birth of her twin babies Angelina was keen to come back to her pre-pregnancy shape. She again got on to a special diet of fresh vegetables and fish.

Her breakfast consists of brown bread, herbs, tomatoes, and organic salmon. As for dinner and lunch she has tomatoes, spinach, watercress, and grilled fresh tuna or mackerel.
