What kinds of diet pills are there?

There are many kinds of diet pills on the market, I will try to explain what the difference between them is and how you can better choose, if you do decide to choose what kind of diet pill is best for you

Diet and exercise are key

Before I start with the kinds of diet pills I have to admit that I am not a fan at all of diet pills in general because for most people it is much easier to lose by eating well and exercising. As we all know it can be a challenge to eat well or exercise but I am convinced that these are going to help 90% of the people out there. I will link to a diet and exercise hub as soon as I create one.

Three kinds of diet pills

What kinds of diet pills are there?

kinds of diet pills

There are three kinds of diet pills. The first diet pill is the kind that raises your metabolism; this is a kind of upper and will have an effect more like caffeine then anything. The next kind of diet pill is designed to stop you from getting hungry, this is an appetite suppressant. The third kind of diet pill is a much different, this kind of pill stops your body from metabolizing either fats or carbohydrates to try and make you not get penalized for what you eat. There is a fourth kind of diet pill, diuretics but these are not good at all for anyone’s diet as they get rid of water and as we all know water is essential to life. Do not take diuretics!

Metabolism raising diet pills

OK, first kind of pill raises your metabolism. This is an effective way to lose as the number of calories that you burn per hour at rest can make a big difference in how much you lose. Be prepared to be hungry though as your body will just naturally try to get you to eat more food to counteract this raised metabolism. The most common pills to do this either have ephedrine or ma huang or some kind of green tea.

Stopping hunger with diet pills

This one has been in the news a lot lately. Instead of worrying about the output of your body you control the input this way if you do not eat you should lose weight. The most popular diet pill on the market for suppressing your appetite is of course Hoodia. Hoodia seems to work but the problem is that if you go to Wal-Mart you will see lots of diet pills with Hoodia, the trouble is in the way all of these products have been created these is not much Hoodia in them at all and it is just mostly fillers.

Fat and carb blocking diet pills

The last kind of diet pill allows you to eat but what it does instead is not allow your body to metabolize either fats or carbs. I would lump these together as some diets say low carb and some diets say low fat. Your choice on what diet works best for you. These are kind of exciting as this is a whole new way to deal with loss and I would guess that you would quickly learn what you are doing wrong with your diet depending on which one of these works best for you.

There is a lot to learn about kinds of diet pills and whether they will work for you or not. My own advice is to go first with diet and exercise, these should work. If you still can not find a way to lose the continue with the good habits and then supplement with what you need. Is your metabolism slow? Do you binge eat sometimes? Does your body store the carbs or fat to easily? Good luck with your diet and loss goals.

New FDA standards for dietary supplements

Well this was a long time in coming and we will have to wait to see the effect but the FDA has set new rules for standards and purity for all of those supplements that we see out there.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today announced a final rule establishing regulations to require current good manufacturing practices (cGMP) for dietary supplements. The rule ensures that dietary supplements are produced in a quality manner, do not contain contaminants or impurities, and are accurately labeled.

New FDA standards for dietary supplements

“This rule helps to ensure the quality of dietary supplements so that consumers can be confident that the products they purchase contain what is on the label,” said Commissioner of Food and Drugs Andrew C. von Eschenbach, M.D. “In addition, as a result of recent amendments to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, by the end of the year, industry will be required to report all serious dietary supplement related adverse events to FDA.”

The regulations establish the cGMP needed to ensure quality throughout the manufacturing, packaging, labeling, and storing of dietary supplements. The final rule includes requirements for establishing quality control procedures, designing and constructing manufacturing plants, and testing ingredients and the finished product. It also includes requirements for recordkeeping and handling consumer product complaints.

“The final rule will help ensure that dietary supplements are manufactured with controls that result in a consistent product free of contamination, with accurate labeling,” said Robert E. Brackett, Ph.D., director of FDA’s Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition.

Kokum or the herb of garcinia cambogia is said to lead to significant loss not only in terms of weight, but also in terms of fat. This fruit fights the unfair accumulation of body fat. Here are some reasons that make it great for weight loss.

  1. Kokum is said to be great for your digestion, and is known to fight conditions like flatulence, acidity and constipation. A good digestive system is the key to lose weight efficiently.
  2. It contains hydroxyl acid (HCA), which is known to be an appetite suppressant, further preventing you from cravings and untimely hunger pangs.
  3. According to a study published in the Journal Nutrition, HCA is also attributed to not just weight loss, but also fat loss, thereby helping you stay healthy.
  4. Inflammation in the body can cause conditions like obesity. The presence of an active compound called garcinol has anti-inflammatory properties that prevent inflammation in the body.
  5. Kokum is known to reduce the conversion of food into fat. Therefore, the synthesis of fatty acids is inhibited to a great extent, thus preventing the build-up of fats in the body.
  6. Kokum has the tendency to convert excess calories in our body into glycogen.
  7. The antioxidant vitamin C present in kokum prevents the growth of cell damaging free radicals in the body. Free radicals tend to cause oxidative stress, which further ups the chances of health conditions like diabetes and obesity.

Also known as the ‘cool king’ among the Indian fruits, kokum is generally available in powder form, and can be consumed by adding some water to it. If whole kokum is available, you can simply soak it in water overnight, extract the juice and store it for consumption for the next few days. You could also use kokum as a souring agent in most of your curries and dals and extract the benefits it has to offer.
