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

Apidexin Fat Burner Review

Apr 06, 2009   Categories: non prescription diet pills

Does Apidexin Work

apidexin-fat-burnerThe general census of opinion about Apidexin is extremely mixed. The last year has seen this fat burner rise from relative anonymity to become a highly searched for product.

Is this down to product effectiveness or clever marketing?

Apidexin is very much for a consumer based in the United States – the official website is full of Americanisms and not without just a small sprinkling of hype.

Lose 400% More Weight is typical example of a meaningless headline – lose 400% more weight compared to….?

The official site also claims a return rate of just 2% which could down to the fact that once a purchase has been made the only form of contact with the company responsible for Apidexin is an email address.

There is not a telephone number nor a physical address – if a problem should arise either during or after the order has been placed you are the mercy of someone bothering to reply via email.

Any product purchase (not just diet pill related) should be treated with extreme caution if the company behind the product are not prepared to offer at least a telephone number for customer service.

What Is Apidexin

Not to be confused with Adipex or Adipex-P the prescription only diet pill – whether this was meant or sheer coincidence only the makers of Apidexin can answer.

The formula is a traditional fat burner that include the following ingredients:

  • Bioperine - aimed at increasing the rate of fat absorption
  • Razberi-K - a fat loss compound.
  • Infinergy – Dicaffeine Malate – responsible for replenishing energy levels and high in caffeine
  • Forslean 95% Forskohliin – allows fat cells to be used as additional energy
  • Lipolide-SC - a substance that can burns excess levels of fatty deposits
  • Guggul EZ-100 – Geared towards lowering blood cholesterol levels
  • Thermodiamine – A thermogene that can increase the rate that the body burns excess fat
  • Wakame™ Seaweed 10% Fucoxanthin – Increases the metabolism

So there is little doubt that Apidexin is a fat burner

Apidexin Side Effects

Fat burners are prone to causing a jittery effect in some users. Fat burners increase the metabolism due the usual presence of caffeine. Nervousness, irritability and anxiety are also associated side effects of fat burners.

A common misconception is that fat burners “burn fat” they do not. They create mobility in the body – it is your increased mobility that is responsible for fat burning.

Apidexin Customer Testimonials

The official website has numerous positive customer comments but these are hardly objective – a cursory glance around the web reveals a different story.

Does Apidexin Work

Claiming to be the worlds most effective does not create much believability in Apidexin – especially when trying position itself over an above some the powerful prescription only diet pills.

Weight loss and diet related forums have several long and well subscribed to threads all asking questions along the lines of “How do I return Apidexin?

Where To Buy Apidexin

Purchases seem to be exclusive via their own website – UK customers looking to buy Apidexin will have to buy from the American site and have the package shipped via airmail.

The same method will have to be used, it is assumed, for any returns.

Other Diet Pills To Consider

Unique Hoodia ReviewUnique Hoodia – a natural appetite suppressant that can reduce daily calorie intake significantly.

Unlike Apidexin and other similar commercial diet pills, Unique Hoodia has a pre sales and more importantly after sales landline telephone to call.

Unique Hoodia contains raw Hoodia Gordonii powder – a substance that has centuries of working success.

Hoodia H57

Sep 25, 2008   Categories: Hoodia H57

Hoodia H57 Review

Hoodia H57 is targeted toward the American buyer rather the UK – the prominent message on the Hoodia H57 website is Hoodia H57 is the number 1 selling South African Hoodia product.

This claim does seem to be overused and under substantiated by most of the Hoodia products that originate from the USA.

There are several similar sounding Hoodia products that seem to blur into one, all underlining their uniqueness, reputation and superiority.

Hoodia H57 is not that far removed from Hoodia X57 , Hoodia P57 and Hoodia XPF and a dozen other products.

What Is Hoodia H57

A standard Hoodia capsule that claims to contain genuine Hoodia powder although proof of authenticity is hard to find. Genuine Hoodia – How To Tell

Hoodia H57 Ingredients

The whole ethos behind Hoodia is that it is an undiluted appetite suppressant without additives and filler ingredients. Hoodia is a strong enough substance without the need for anything else.

Hoodia H57 contains green tea leaf extract and cinnamon bark extract. The inclusion of these two ingredients is rather disappointing.

Hoodia H57 Side Effects

Hoodia H57 should not cause side effects provided the Hoodia used is authentic and not a synthetic replica. The inclusion of green tea extract does rather make Hoodia H57 an appetite suppressant / fat burner combination diet pill. Green tea is a stimulant and so may cause restlessness and anxiety.

Hoodia H57 Testimonials

The official website does display several with before and after pictures – all the consumer comments from the Hoodia H57 are positive which is no surprise.

However, independent consumer reviews are sparse.

Is Hoodia H57 Recommended

Hard to recommend for a UK consumer. There is nothing to suggest that Hoodia H57 can rival or compete with the current best selling Hoodia products.

Lipozene Review

May 02, 2008   Categories: Lipozene

Lipozene Diet Pill

lipozeneLipozene has featured on numerous TV commercials mostly across the Atlantic – Reduce Body Fat seems to be the tag line which seems truthful and honest enough.

The association with Obesity Research Intitute (the producers of Lipozene) have an infamous history in the weight loss market with accusations concerning the claims of over ambitious weight loss results and customer service levels.

The UK dieter may be unfamiliar with Lipozene – but the USA is well aware of this product.

How Does Lipozene Help Weight Loss

A natural fibre complex that does rely heavily on just the one active ingredient – Glucomannan, the natural fibre from the Konjac root.

The Lipozene website does try to explain the process in laymans terms by describing a dietary sponge effect that makes you feel full – so an appetite suppressant then!

Just how a dietary sponge can suppress appetite is open to debate.

Lipozene Side Effects

A natural fibre substance so unlikely to cause an unwanted side effects or treatment effects.

Is Lipozene Effective For Weight Loss

This is where Lipozene really disappoints – the packaging and marketing material are under hyped and does look rather like a medication without any hysteria attached, this being the only positive.

Its behind the scenes that makes Lipozene hard to recommend. The clinical trials and studies that were supposed to have taken place involving the magic weight loss ingredient, Glucomannan have been flagged by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) who in turn have charged the manufacturers ORI with making false and unsubstantiated claims.

It is our opinion to not buy Lipozene

Alternatives

Hoodia GordoniiHoodia Gordonii is by the far the most effective natural appetite suppressant in existence.

Hoodia controls the appetite by shutting off signals to your brain when it is in need of food. It has centuries of working proof.
