Compare Efficacy of Diet Pills
With all the diet pills available in the market,
comparing diet pills is easy to get overwhelmed when trying to
decide what to buy. The truth is that much of what is available OTC
is either ineffective or dangerous, and it’s up to the customer to
research the options before taking anything.
Instructions
Step 1
Search online for feedback from people who are using diet pills and
can report on the results they’ve gotten from them. Make sure you
search for personal opinions rather than looking for blurbs or
reviews from the official website of a specific diet pills, as there
is no guarantee that these reviews are legitimate or haven’t been
pre-selected to represent only the positive aspect of the pills.
Step 2
Understand the pros and cons of the different types of diet pills,
including fat blockers, appetite suppressants and fat burners. They
all serve a very different purpose and can cause diverse side
effects and complications. Fat blockers, for example, can cause
uncontrollable bowel movements, while fat burners may affect heart
rate and can cause nausea or dizziness.
Step 3
Check the FDA website for fact sheets covering some of the most
popular weight loss pills, their efficacy and safety. While the
Comparing Diet Pills does not generally interfere with the sale of
weight loss supplements, they do have an official position regarding
weight loss products in general. The FDA has recently approved the
first OTC weight loss pill, Alli, a lighter version of the
prescription fat blocker Xenical.
Step 4
Keep your eyes open for outrageous claims, such as diet pills that
promise large amounts of weight loss in a month, those who shun
exercise or that claim to have a secret ingredient that “burns fat
like magic.” No such pills are available in the market.
Step 5
Talk to your doctor for recommendations. If you have more than 50
pounds to lose, your doctor can prescribe Xenical or Meridia, which
are regulated and need medical supervision. Both these drugs are
effective and are backed by the FDA.
