More than 30% of the world's population are overweight people. If reliable diet pills existed, these statistics would look very different. The reality is this: so far, researchers have not been able to create a safe fat-burning medicine with proven 100% effectiveness. However, dreaming of ideal forms, people continue to look for effective and inexpensive diet pills. And demand creates supply: pharmacies offer a wide selection of “weight loss” drugs. How do they work, are they harmful and will they give a “plumb line”?

Let us immediately note that World organization Health and the American Obesity Association do not recommend using pills to treat obesity for cosmetic purposes or if weight loss can be achieved through non-drug methods.

Contraindications to taking any diet pills are pregnancy and lactation. People with mental disorders, decompensation of cardiovascular pathology and uncontrolled arterial hypertension.

What kind of diet pills are sold?

If you still decide to buy drugs for weight correction, then definitely do not take them from private individuals and representatives network marketing. And also avoid tubes that do not have Russian-language instructions.
Pharmacy drugs are positioned by manufacturers as means for effective weight loss, and are divided into several groups depending on the composition and mechanism of action on the body. If we do not seriously consider pills with diuretic and laxative effects, then the basic list of pills for quick weight loss includes the following three groups of drugs.

Fat and carbohydrate blockers

There is only a modest list of medications, the use of which doctors reluctantly allow in a complex of therapeutic measures in the treatment of patients with obesity. This number includes some fat and carbohydrate absorption blockers.

• Fat blockers. For example, fat-blocking drugs based on orlistat - “Xenical” (Italy), “” and “Listata” (Russia). The active substance prevents the breakdown of fats entering the body with food. That is, fat is not absorbed and is immediately excreted. According to reviews, sometimes this process is uncontrollable and can lead to accidental and unpleasant situations.
• Carbohydrate blockers. The French “Glucophage” operates on the same principle, only it is aimed at blocking the absorption of carbohydrates. The main substance in the composition is metformin. More often, such tablets are prescribed for the treatment of obesity and diabetes. Weight loss, according to the manufacturer, occurs by reducing glucose and insulin levels and stabilizing metabolism. Carbohydrate blockers are prohibited for illnesses digestive tract. Chronic use of such medications creates a deficiency of vitamin D and calcium.

Due to the large number of possible side effects, drugs from this group are prescribed exceptional cases and must be sold with a prescription. Nevertheless, people still manage to buy them without a document from a doctor. It's very risky. Because taking such drugs is considered justified only if the following five conditions are met.

1. The diagnosis was made by a doctor.“Obesity” and “a couple of extra kilos” are two different things. In the first case, we are talking about a serious illness that reduces the patient’s quality of life and impairs work internal organs and systems. If you just want to get slimmer before the holidays, forget about these drugs.
2. The doctor made the appointment. Such drugs cannot be “prescribed” to yourself. The average person does not have sufficient level qualifications in order to objectively assess the state of your health, determine safe dosages and assume possible reactions of the body to taking blockers.
3. The treatment is supervised by a doctor. And not alone. It is important to see an endocrinologist, gastroenterologist and nutritionist, who collectively decide how to take diet pills correctly in each specific case.
4. Taking the drug is combined with a diet. This is a must. The menu is written by the doctor.
5. Taking the drug is combined with training. Without physical activity, even such strong drugs will not give lasting results.

Anorexics

Anorexics affect the central nervous system. Promote weight loss by reducing appetite by affecting the center of the brain responsible for the feeling of fullness. Reviews of medications for weight loss from the group of anorectics allow us to highlight the following popular remedies.

• "Goldline". The drug is made in India. The basis is a substance related to appetite regulators. According to responses, the drug gives weight from 3 to 10 kg per month. However, after stopping the use, appetite returns, so a lasting effect is possible only with regular use of the tablets.
• " ". Russian drug. Indicated in the treatment of obesity to reduce body weight and improve metabolism. The active substance of these tablets is also sibutramine. An auxiliary component in the composition is microcrystalline cellulose (MCC), which swells in the stomach and provides a feeling of fullness.
• "Meridia". Medicine German made. Also applies to sibutramine drugs. According to the instructions, it is indicated for obesity (if the body mass index exceeds the threshold of 30 units) and diabetes mellitus (if the BMI is more than 27).
• "Fluoxetine". This is a Russian antidepressant that dulls the feeling of hunger. The main component is the substance of the same name - fluoxetine.

According to doctors, anorectics are unsafe. Uncontrolled use of such pills can cause anorexia, as well as dependence on the drug itself. Please remember that these medications are prescription medications.

dietary supplements

More or less safe diet pills are dietary supplements. The basis of these drugs are natural ingredients with fat-burning properties (for example, seaweed). It also contains a large amount of vitamins and minerals. Allegedly, due to their balance and beneficial influence on the body and weight loss occurs. They are over-the-counter. However, nutritionists do not take these “medicines” seriously at all and call cases where people lose weight after taking dietary supplements the placebo effect. Also, the “plumb line” occurs due to the diuretic and laxative properties of the drugs. The following tablets are in high demand.

• "Beelight". According to the manufacturers (China), these tablets help curb food cravings, stimulate thermogenesis and burn excess fat. The basis of the drug is a vitamin B complex obtained from plant extracts. Effervescent tablets “Eco Slim” can be considered an analogue.
• "Modelform". According to the instructions, this Russian drug can reduce cravings for starchy and sweet foods, which helps control appetite and reduce the amount of sugar consumed. The tablets contain a whole complex of plant extracts, such as bitter orange, pueraria, medlar and momordica.
• "Magic beans". These are Chinese diet pills. They are named so because the shape of the capsules is similar to beans. The drug contains L-carnitine, garcinia extract, marine convalia, chitin, fiber and collagen.
• "Herbalife". Products of an American company. Available in the form of multivitamin complexes, cocktails, drinks and bars. The manufacturer indicates in the instructions that the medicine promotes weight loss, increased tone, accelerated metabolism and the absorption of sugar. The basis can be vitamins and extracts, for example, green tea and mate.
• "Turboslim". This Russian drug belongs to the category of dietary supplements, but it is also capable of blocking the absorption of carbohydrates. The tablets are produced in a series of products: “Turboslim Day” and “Turboslim Night”. There are also Turboslim tea and coffee. They are based on plant extracts. According to the instructions, Turboslim helps improve the functioning of the digestive tract and strengthen the nervous system.

There is a choice of dietary supplements for every budget. For example, 96 capsules of Bilayt are sold for 2,300 rubles. A pack of “Turboslim coffee” (10 bags) costs 276 rubles. (Data as of September 2017).

Hormonal diet pills are worth mentioning separately. They are aimed primarily at leveling hormonal levels in patients with corresponding pathologies. The fact that weight is lost is the result of treatment of the underlying disease. Such drugs are strictly contraindicated in cases where a person’s hormones are all right, and “sagging sides” are a consequence of an unhealthy lifestyle and poor diet.

Effect on the body

Pills, even those that are commercially available, are an easy but dangerous way to lose weight. After taking many of them, serious consequences appear. This is especially true for Korean and Thai drugs that contain phentermine, fenfluramine and sodium poly-4-styrenesulfonate. These substances are addictive like drugs. Against this background, skin peeling, hair loss, and sleep deterioration begin. Some patients develop damage to the heart valves. Consequences of taking (especially if there was an overdose) other diet pills:

• insomnia;
• increased blood pressure;
• increased heart rate;
• allergy;
• development of depression;
• exacerbation of chronic diseases digestive system;
• overexcitation of the nervous system.

If healthy person artificially provoke a carbohydrate deficiency, the thyroid gland increases the production of the hormones T3 and T4. Resulting in:

• metabolism slows down;
• adipose tissue accumulates in even greater quantities;
• the functioning of the thyroid gland is disrupted.

With a constant lack of fat in the diet, on the contrary, there is a sharp slowdown in the production of rad hormones. In women, this leads to the following consequences:

• early menopause;
• hot flashes;
• headache;
• temperature increase;
• bleeding;
• blockage of blood vessels;
• stroke;
• a sharp increase in pressure;
• destruction of blood vessels in the brain.

"Pills" that work 100%

While taking diet pills, you can apply irreparable harm body. In addition, almost all instructions for such drugs indicate that the use of pills must be combined with diet and exercise. Otherwise, the effect will be insignificant, and after the end of the course of “treatment” the weight will return.

Therefore the most effective drugs for weight loss - this physical activity and proper nutrition. It is enough to follow a few simple rules:

• eat a little bit four to five times a day;
• limit the consumption of sweet, fatty, fried, salty and smoked foods;
• increase the amount of fruits and vegetables, fermented milk products, lean meat, and cereals in the diet;
• do not eat three to four hours before bedtime;
• drink 1.5-2 liters of clean water per day;
• give up alcohol;
• once a week have a fasting day;
• limit salt;
• exercise three to five times a week for 30-60 minutes;
• walk more, use the stairs instead of the elevator;
• sleep seven to eight hours a day;
• be sure to have breakfast;
• do not starve yourself;
• prepare food by steaming, stewing or boiling.

After just two weeks of following these rules, you will notice a positive result. At healthy weight loss a person loses up to 1 kg per week. To make the process more interesting, you can keep a food diary, where you record not only your menu, but also the results.

Remember: there are no “best” diet pills. A person who is absolutely healthy should not just take any medications at all. If excess weight leads to serious problems, then you need to contact a specialist to prescribe treatment.

Indications for the use of diet pills

Let's say right away: doctors do not prescribe dietary supplements and other diet pills that have not been tested by the Ministry of Health. People purchase and accept them on their own, expecting a miraculous transformation of their figure.

In medicine, only two active ingredients are used that can be included in diet pills - sibutramine and orlistat. Preparations based on the listed substances can be prescribed by a doctor for the treatment of:

• dietary obesity with a body mass index of 30 kg/m²;

Vomiting pills for weight loss

Having set the goal of losing weight, many are ready to go to any extreme to get rid of a few extra pounds. The next extreme is inducing vomiting after eating.

It would seem that a person has eaten, and his brain has received a signal of satiety. Now you can get rid of the contents of your stomach. How? Just induce vomiting. As a result, the extra pounds will not have time to be deposited.

That’s how it is, but few people at this moment think about the danger that this method of losing weight poses. Here are just a few of the consequences of inducing vomiting:

• indigestion, pancreatitis;
• pyelonephritis;
• aversion to any food, aversion to food;
• dry skin, hair loss, brittle nails, grey colour faces;
• dizziness, fainting.

Of course, emetic tablets exist, but they are prescribed exclusively by a doctor - for example, for protozoal infections, poisoning, chronic alcoholism. Similar drugs include Pectol, Emetine or Licorin.

Coffee based diet pills

The fact that coffee gives energy and improves performance is known to everyone. However, caffeine has another property - it stimulates the synthesis of fatty acids, or, as people say, “compress fat.” However, simply taking coffee-based diet pills is not safe. The fact is that for intensive conversion of fat reserves into energy, it is necessary to take at least 100 mg of caffeine for every 30 kg of body weight, while the maximum permissible dose caffeine for one person per day – 300 mg.

If you take drugs in such quantities, it can lead to serious illnesses of cardio-vascular system, to dehydration, to arrhythmias, to disorders of consciousness and neuroses.

Even if you are determined to take tablets with coffee, undergo a comprehensive examination with a doctor before starting.

The most common caffeine-based drug is sodium caffeine benzoate.

Natural diet pills

When choosing diet pills, many focus on the natural composition of the drug. And this is correct, because some drugs not only do not help you lose weight, but also cause a lot of harm to the body. In addition, natural drugs have much fewer side effects.

The first rule in order to choose safe diet pills: the drug must be certified, that is, permitted and approved by the Ministry of Health of our country.

The second rule: tablets should be sold in pharmacies, but not in supermarkets or other dubious sellers (including on the Internet), because in this case it is easy to buy a counterfeit.

Among domestic natural preparations, we have chosen the most effective tablets for weight loss:

The appearance of fat in most cases is associated with poor nutrition. And, you need to switch to proper nutrition. This is not about diets, but about a balanced diet. It is important to include a variety of foods, but control the quality as well as the quantity eaten. This will allow the body to receive the necessary substances and microelements, but at the same time not gain weight and even get rid of excess.

Tip 2: What weight loss products are used in sports medicine

Most athletes, fitness trainers and gymnasts look sexy and boast an athletic body with prominent muscles, ideal weight. But not all of them have a good metabolism by nature; sometimes they have a tendency to gain extra pounds. How do trainers and fitness club workers manage to look fit and have an excellent figure? Weight loss products from the arsenal of sports medicine come to the aid of professionals. Never heard of proteins, appetite blockers and fat burners? But in vain - the drugs are highly effective in the fight against excess body weight, allowing you to achieve results in almost a few weeks.

If you are overweight and 2-3 months before a vacation or important event, it's time to start using some weight loss products known among athletes. If you only need to get rid of 2-3 kg, one month is enough. The main thing is to comply with all requirements for taking pills, medications, exercise and adhere to the principles of a healthy diet. So, let's look at the top 10 weight loss products from the arsenal of sports medicine:

Fat burner L-carnitine

L-carnitine (or carnitine) is the most popular fat burner among American nutritionists and trainers. The drug contains an amino acid responsible for fat lipolysis. It improves heart function by “pulling” energy from broken down fats. There are practically no contraindications for use, however, the result will appear only with strong physical exertion and intensive sports. Doctors recommend dividing one capsule (or ampoule) into three doses, which allows for significant savings.

Fat burners in the form of creams

Such external agents effectively break down fatty deposits on the abdomen, thighs, and sides, penetrating the skin through the pores. Sports creams labeled “transdermal” contain increased dosages of active ingredients that remove not only fat, but also stretch marks, “ orange peel" The most popular is the Spanish brand Sculpt cream. The Celluless line has been developed for women, and Absteel for men.

Athletes take two types of pills: thermogenics and lipotropics. The former actively release fatty acids, which leads to a surge of strength and relieves stress on the liver. The latter increase calorie consumption by slightly raising body temperature by 1-2 degrees. One of the conditions for taking such dietary supplements is combination with intense physical activity. Consultation with a doctor is required before use.

Carbohydrate blockers

The principle of operation of the drugs is to block enzymes that break down carbohydrate compounds. As a result, carbohydrates do not settle on the hips, buttocks, and abdomen and are intensively eliminated from the body. Typically, blockers are taken in combination with fat-burning pills or carnitine as prescribed by a doctor. The most famous brands are Carb Block and Thermoloid.

Calorie blockers (appetite suppressants)

In medical language, such drugs are called anorectics or anorexigens. These drugs, originally developed for sports medicine, are now widespread among women losing weight. A group of dietary supplements allows you to reduce and control appetite, helps you eat less by affecting the satiety center in the brain. Sibutramine and Fluoxetine are considered the most effective and safe.

Regular drinking water

Water not only helps you lose weight and remove toxins from your body. It normalizes metabolic processes and allows you to “deceive” an empty stomach. Athletes note that they should drink about three liters of clean still water per day. An accurate calculation is possible using the formula: weight divided by 20. Before each snack, meal and after training, you should drink a glass of water. However, drinking it immediately after eating is prohibited. Only this rule will be beneficial when losing weight.

A great way to lose weight is to remove excess fluid from the body. If you follow the rules, your body volume will decrease, bags under your eyes, swelling of your legs and face will disappear. The method can be used even during pregnancy. So, that's the gist of it. Pour liter jar clean drinking water, place it in the evening two hours before bedtime next to the sofa or chair. During this time, you drink everything one sip at a time. The “medical drip” effect will make the kidneys and liver work better. The downside of this method is that you have to run to the toilet several times a night. Plus, when you drink one liter, two will be released. In one night you can lose 1.5-2 kg, get rid of edema and puffiness. The duration of cleansing is 2-4 days, then the result will be definitely noticeable.

The key to losing weight is split meals

Athletes, gymnasts and coaches try not to starve, even when they need to lose 2-3 kg of excess weight. They use principles in their diet fractional meals. The ideal option is to eat small meals 5-6 times a day, following the recommendations of nutritionists. With average physical activity, the daily caloric content of food should not exceed 1400-1500 calories.

Pure Protein

Doctors for athletes often advise them, when losing weight, to replace one of the appropriate meals with 35-40 grams of protein or isolate. Protein is pure protein isolated from healthy products(meat, eggs, soy). The isolate contains zero carbohydrates. The tasteless powder is diluted with water and drunk after training or intense exercise. Minus - the drink is tasteless, plus - the protein shake completely saturates the body.

Complex (combined) protein

Complex protein is another invention for athletes from medical advances. It contains casein (very slowly absorbed by the body), whey (gives a feeling of fullness) and regular protein (most often curd protein). After taking the cocktail, you will not feel hungry for seven hours. The effect of such a complex protein greatly exceeds the results of taking fat burners and calorie blockers.

Meal replacements

These drugs contain carbohydrates, vitamin complexes, protein compounds, and other excipients in the required proportions. They can replace one meal. The advantage is that you can use substitutes during intense training, on business trips and long trips. They are almost completely absorbed and do not put a strong strain on the gastrointestinal tract.

When using any product from the development of sports medicine, it is worth remembering that only losing weight by 1-2 kg per month is considered safe. This approach will allow you to consolidate the result and will not allow extra pounds return. Another rule for using fat burners and creams is regular sports and physical exercise.
