Lean 1 Diet Shakes With Hoodia

Jul 07, 2010   Categories: Slimming

Lean 1 Diet Shake Review

Lean 1 is weight loss or diet drink produced by Nutrition 53 – it has a particularly US flavour to its marketing.

It has been featured in the press recently with a number of high profile celebrities attributing their weight loss success in part to the slimming drink.

Britney Spears has apparently lost 10lbs in just over a 2 weeks whilst on the diet shake – it also appears that several other high profile celebrities have found success while using the Lean 1 Product, with Jenifer Lopez, Courtney Cox and golfer Tiger Woods all associated with it.

What Is The Lean 1 Diet Shake

This in an excerpt from the Nutrition 53 website.

“Lean1 is your answer to lose weight quickly without ever feeling hungry! Lean1 combines the powerful nutrients you need to lose body fat and tone muscles in the convenience of a healthy meal replacement shake.

It delivers high-octane fuel that boosts energy levels at all times of the day with 20-30 grams of premium protein, 14 organic fruits and vegetables, 5 grams of fiber and heart healthy phystosterols in every serving.

Try getting all that nutrition in one day, never mind one meal!”

Does Lean 1 Diet Shake Really Work

Meal replacements or weight loss drinks have taken a fair amount of criticism of late with health experts calling into question the safety of relying on what in essence is just a drink to supply the body with enough nutrients.

Depriving the body of essential nutrients can lead to all kinds of health conditions ranging from constipation, heart problems to the more serious diseases such as bowel cancer.

Is Lean 1 Recommeded

Not recommended as a sole weight loss solution.

Alli And Possible Liver Damage

Jul 10, 2009   Categories: Slimming

Alli Liver Damage Side Effects Reports

can-alli-cause-liver-damageEarlier this spring the much anticipated and self professed miracle diet pill, Alli was introduced to Great Britain.

An estimated £1m worth of product was sold with many oulets running dry in just a few hours.

The USA, as is usually the case, had availability much earlier – summer 2008. The initial reaction from American consumers towards the pharmaceutical diet drug was that one or two slightly embarrasing side effects (anal leakage, coined the Alli Oops) were common place but nothing out of the ordinary.

Now it seems that the infamous Alli Oops is not the only cause for concern.

Read Alli Review

A far more sinister potential health issue  has been  documented with both the FDA (US) and MHRA (UK) governmental departments revealing that Alli could be linked to liver damage.

Health Concerns Over Alli

xenical-orlstat-alliAlli utilises the same active ingredient, Orlistat as the most commonly prescribed diet pill, Xenical

Xenical has been available GP administration since 2001 and although reports of serious side effects have been few and far between – one is possibly one too many.

The pharmaceutical juggernaught, GlaxoSmithKline,  responsible for producing Alli released a statement saying “the safety of our customers was of ‘utmost importance’ to us and that it supplied all information about adverse effects to Government drugs bodies.” – meaning the FDA and the MHRA.

A spokesman for the FDA (Food and drugs Adminstration) said: ‘We have received rare reports of hepatitis and other liver-related laboratory abnormalities in people taking orlistat. The FDA is closely monitoring this issue to determine the need for any regulatory action

The Future Of Alli

this could be that the days are numbered for Alli and could follow suit to several other chemically manufactured diet tablets to be removed from public domain – earlier this year saw a prescription appetite suppressant Acomplia Rimonbant withdrawn amid similar safety concerns.

If Alli is removed from the commercial market is have very serious finacial conotations for the pharmaceutical indutry.

The weight loss and health supplment market is worth billions to the industry in many parts of the world – public confidence could  be completely destroyed.

The natural world competes with the pharmaceutical world and any move by either the FDA or the MHRA will shift the power back to more naturally produced products.

Natural Alternatives To Alli

proactol6Stopping fat absorption is one the most effective ways to reduce calorie consumption.

The natural world offers several alternatives to the man made chemically produced products. Proactol, for example, is a natural fat binder that is often compared to Alli.

Proactol can prevent up to 25% of the fat from the food you eat from being digisted, unlike Alli, it does not pose such of an anal leakage problem.

More about Proactol

The issue of side effects is largely negated with products derived from the natural world – the main ingredient present in Proactol is extract from the Optuntia Ficus India Cactus a cactus, more commonly known as the Prickly Pear. The prickly pear has hundreds if not thousands of years of history of usage by many different civilations.

prickly-pear-fat-binderThe most common use over the last few years is aimed towards tackling the source of obesity – but the prickly pear is thought to produce an aphrodisiac effect and also documented to provide relief from the symptoms of excessive alcohol consumption.

Weight Gain Causes

May 06, 2008   Categories: Articles, General, Slimming

Does Over Eating Cause Weight Gain

Over Eating Causes Weight GainGlancing, uninterestingly at the title the question could be answered with a very patronising yes. If the answer is so obvious then why is obesity becomming an epedemic and our life expectancy descreasing to levels experienced similar to just after the second world war.

If you are fat, overweight or obese it is not only dangerous to your health but also extremely depressing. A vicious circle can materialise, I am fat therefore I am depressed the consequence is that I comfort eat. This is just one of the causes of weight gain.

———————————————————————————

alli-2008Alli – the new FDA approved diet pill is now available to buy over the counter.

Alli has recieved more publicity than any other diet pill in history.

Is Alli really the major breakthrough wonder diet pill? More about Alli

———————————————————————————

Although there are many different and varying causes of weight gain, those that do not stem from a medical condition are in most cases a direct result of over indulgence or lack of discipline – this may not be the answer you have been searching for but nevertheless an undeniable fact.

Over Eating Causes Weight Gain

Possibly the simplest of equations that doesn’t really need explanation – having said that why are 40% of the western population over weight with the percentage rising year on year. A major contributory factor is the standard of living that the first world now enjoys. Our lifestyles have changed and the throwaway economy has reached such heights (or depths) that the percentage figure (in the UK) who can truly say that they are on the “breadline” is less than 1%.

Most of us realise that over indulgence will have a knock on effect and sooner or later we will have to pay the price – but do little to control our expanding waistlines.

Exercise and Fitness

To ease our consience, some of us enroll in a health club or gymnasium – we may buy home user fitness equipment. This is not enough – we should look at the fuel we put into our body.

Diets can seem like an over complication – different combinations of food taken at certain times of the day can give us energy, vitally and provide the stepping stone needed for weight loss.

The truth of the matter that is often overlooked is the fact that human body is extremely resiliant – it does not need a special diet to retain a healthy disposition. Most of us realise we consume more than we should and more of the wrong types of food.

Some specially formulated diets can have the opposite effect and make us less healthy – to remove fat completely from your diet is possibly one of the worst health decisions you could make.

Eat Less Food

Not the most powerful ending to this article or does it provide any revelation. The easiest and most natural way to start losing weight is to EAT LESS FOOD. A journey of what can seem like a million miles has to start with one small step.

How To Reduce Appetite

If will power or discipline is missing from your constitution an appetite suppressant may be needed. An appetite suppressant will naturally reduce your appetite and descrease your craving for food.

If you have not yet discovered the benefits of Hoodia Gordonii you are missing out on the most potent natural appetite suppressor in existence. Hoodia Gordonii will provide the self discipline and will power needed for natural and safe weight loss allowing you to continue eating what you want and when you want.

Fat Burners V Appetite Suppressants

Fat Burning Diet Pills Compared To Appetite Suppressants

fat burners compared to appetite suppressants
Diet pills, weight loss tablets or slimming supplements to the uninitiated or uninformed can just seem to be the same thing but titled a little differently. This is partly true – which adds to the problem when trying to decide which diet pill to buy or use in an effort to lose weight.

For those not familiar with the genres and technologies involved within the diet pill market this article should hopefully provide some clarity and simplify matters. There are many different types, genres and categories, but all with the same aim of weight loss.

Many dieters do not realise the effect a diet pill will have on their body – it is a case of popping a pill and waiting for the weight loss process to kick in. The diet industry nowadays does tend to lead with this kind of expectancy – Lose Weight While You Sleep is a familiar and over used headline.

The following two diet pills genres are possibly the furthest apart in terms of how they work and effectiveness.

Proactol – Best Non Prescription Diet Pill

Apr 16, 2008   Categories: Articles, Proactol, Slimming

Proactol – Best UK Slimming Pill Without Prescription

Proactol Fat Binding Slimming Pill

Hoodia Gordonii is responsible for an estimated 10% of slimming pill sales in the UK – a slightly larger portion worldwide. The remainder of the market is split into genres such as: Fat Burners, Fat Blockers, Fat Binders and of course other Appetite Suppressants.

Fat binders and fat blockers share similarities by way of the effect they have in connection to food consumption. Both, with the right ingredients can be highly effective for weight loss.

“Proactol Can Stop Over 25% Of Dietary Fat From Being Digested”

Fat burners or slimming pills that rely on the fat burning effect are the least effective as they rely on calories and fat being first absorbed by the body and then dealt with – rather than tackle the problem head on fat burners try to solve the aftermath.

Proactol is a fat binding slimming pill that is made from a natural, organic fibre complex. Just has Hoodia is derived from a cactus like plant – Proactol is extracted from the Opuntia Ficus Indica plant.

Proactol And Weight Loss

Proactol has an initial two step process: firstly, Soluble fibres slows down the digestive process allowing the second step to begin.

The second step involves the non soluble fibres forming a gel like substance that binds with newly introduced fat before it can be absorbed – the newly introduced fat is now too large to be absorbed and so will pass through the body naturally.

How Does ProactolWithout elaborating further (More Detail At Proactol Official Website) Proactol can stop over a quarter of the fat you would usually consume from becoming a part of your body mass. Without changing your dietary habits Proactol will reduce your fat intake by over 25% – a change to your diet and a larger percentage can be expected.

It is important to remember that your body does need fat to survive and so removing fat content completely from your diet is not the healthiest of decisions.

Proactol Side Effects

Proactol is completely natural and so will not cause a treatment effect that can be considered serious or a danger to health. Most will experience an increase in the frequency of bowel movements – this though is a natural consequence and provides proof that the fat is not being absorbed by the body.
