There are a couple promising diet pills on the market. Some of the new
pills will need a doctor’s prescription while others won’t. The new
pills work best when combined with exercise and a diet change. Lowering
your caloric intake and adding a workout three times a week will double
the weight loss in some patients.
Meridia and Xenical require a doctor’s prescription and could prove to
be costly on a monthly basis. Some patients have gained back weight
when the treatment is removed so they may need to be taken for life.
Tonalin and Hoodia can be purchased over the counter without a
prescription. Tonalin has been shown to be a natural and effective
method of weight management. Tonalin contains
Conjugated linoeic acid or CLA. CLA contains a derivative of the
essential fatty acid linoleic acid, is a patented dietary supplement
shown in a clinical trial to reduce body fat mass (BFM) in healthy,
overweight adults.
Tonalin is formulated from safflower oil. CLA derived from sunflowers
is not as potent. According to the American Journal of Clinical
Nutrition, CLA will increase lean muscle mass which will result in
natural slimming. In a double randomized, double-blind trial
participants underwent an exercise program, and received either 600 mg
of a CLA supplement or a placebo three times per day. CLA was shown to
significantly reduce percent body fat when compared with placebo.
But the benefits of
Tonalin
go beyond weight loss. CLA has been shown
to improve asthma, allergy control and may even hold benefits against
certain forms of cancer, including: breast, prostate, colorectal, skin,
lung and stomach cancer
Hoodia has been shown to provide a promising way to lose weight. Hoodia
works by significantly reducing the appetite. Compare the
concentrations of Hoodia. A comparison method is potency measured in milligrams (mg). 1
milligram = one gram. Some pills will vary from 250 mg to 1000 mg. You
may want to compare to potency of each pill before buying.
Hoodia Goronii grows naturally in South Africa where it is harvested,
then dried and milled into a fine powder. Some
Hoodia Pills
come from a
lab certified extract. Certification usually takes place in South
Africa.
