Critical Information about Weight Loss Products and Your Diet

There is an assortment of weight loss products that promise a fast weight loss result, however, are these really guaranteed? Could these weight loss products live up to their hype of a fit body? Even more importantly, how safe are these weight loss products and what do these weight loss products mean to a healthy diet?

In the US alone, there is an estimated 50 million people who try to lose weight, unfortunately, only 5 per cent become successful. One thing is evident; the weight loss industry has its share of fraudulent claims and extreme high cost. The catalyst is education.

Let’s explore the weight loss products on the market today:

Diet Patch – this was already has removed since 1990’s by FDA since they were proven ineffective.
Magnetic Diet Pills – allegedly flushes out fat, but has no record of proof.
Guar Gum – causes internal obstruction.
Electrical Muscle Stimulators – no documented proven effect.
Eyeglasses that Suppress Appetite – This product claims that the projected image on the retina decreases appetite. No documentation proving the fact.
Weight loss earrings – through acupuncture, suppresses appetite, the documentation provided is very controversial.

Exploring a few examples of weight loss products:

Diet drinks that are mixed with beverages or food are used as meal substitutes. A downside of this is that once a person stopped taking the drinks, they would eventually regain the lost weight after a short period of time due to feeling of emptiness in the stomach. Another is diet supplements and medicines that also don’t work long-term. Over-the-counter pills that compose of phenylpropanolamine hydrochloride may raise blood pressure and palpitation. Ephedra on the other hand can cause serious side effects such as heart problems, seizure, stroke, and even death. E.g.:

Herbalife Nutritional Program – good as two meals, dieters may rely on shakes and follow artificial dieting methods and just don’t want food to work into their lives.
Mega-Thin 100 Formula – Its formula contains an anti-fat weapon, however, diet is not emphasized that’s why it’s concluded that it has an appetite suppressant.
Nestlé’s Sweet Success – recommended to take three times a day and it does not promote healthy eating habits. Weight loss is difficult to maintain once intake is stopped.
Ultra Slim Fast – this plan requires regular exercise but does not teach good eating habits.
Diet pills with Ephedra and PPA – many of these have enclosed diet plans. Slimming can come from the diet plan and not the pill intake and there are risks of adverse side effects.
Chitosan products – contains fibers which were taken from shellfish that may cause diarrhea, bloatedness, and gas. This will only work if a low fat diet is practiced.
Chromium Supplements –claim that products will lower blood sugar, body fat and cholesterol but causes anemia and even memory loss. Studies show only minimal or no beneficial effect at all.
Green Tea Extract Products – known as strong anti-oxidants that help lower cholesterol and triglycerides, and promote weight loss, however, the caffeine content could cause insomnia and restlessness.
Algae Tablets - Spirulina contains significant nutrients that can be an acceptable food when used as part of a varied diet but are very expensive.
St. John's Wort Supplement - Claims to suppress appetite and promote weight loss but it could lead to gastrointestinal discomfort, tiredness, sleeplessness, and arouse allergic reactions.
Glucomannan Products – claim that two capsules before each meal decrease food absorption. Known as food thickeners but not yet proven safe or effective. Weight loss will only happen if good diet plan is followed.

Even if you plan on using over-the-counter weight loss products or even participate in a weight loss program, the verdict is that your diet will have to contain fewer calories than you burn to achieve weight loss.

When choosing a weight loss product or weight loss diet, collect as much information about the weight loss products as possible.
