Strong Appetite Suppressant: Myths And Facts

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

Obesity can be described as accumulation of excess fat in our body well to hinder the normal activities. When the Body Mass Index (BMI) becomes 30Kg/m2 or higher, the condition is scientifically recognized as obesity. Obese people are prone to develop several serious medical conditions – arterial hypertension, diabetes, hormonal imbalance, arthritis, anxiety, sleeplessness among many others.

There are various methods to reduce obesity. strong appetite suppressants is one of them and they are one of the most used diet[spin] pills.

Our appetite is controlled by the [spin]central nervous system. An area of brain called ‘satiety center’ present in the Hypothalamus is the control center.

When food enters our stomach, an enzyme called Cholecystokinin-Pancreozymin (CCK-PZ) is secreted from the pancreas. It can sense the presence of food in the stomach. It then sends some complex signals to the center that our body has received food. The satiety center acknowledges it and sends back another signal to the rest of the body that our stomach is ‘full’.

Now, these signals are carried by sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves present in our body. The signal is carried by some neurotransmitters in between two nerve endings. The neurotransmitters are serotonin, dopamine and nor-adrenaline. Most of the appetite suppressants act by modifying the action of these neurotransmitters.

Prescription appetite suppressants are meant for short time use. That means you can use these drugs for a limited period of time, that too under close supervision of a doctor.

Only medication that was once used for long term use (up to 12 months) was Desfenfluramine. Although it is approved by the FDA[spin], the company manufacturing [spin]this medicine is withdrawing the product in a phased manner owing to high risk of valvular heart disease. The concurrent use of more than one appetite suppression is not recommended.

Prescription appetite suppressants are not suitable for everybody. When your target is to cut only 5-10 pounds, they are not the right choice. But when you are morbidly obese (BMI > 30), they can be of good help. Most of these medications carry health risks and, using them in morbid obesity overpowers the risk factors of different diseases caused due to obesity.

Short term use of these medicines is useful in controlling high blood pressure, decrease insulin resistance (as in Type II diabetes) and in high cholesterol level in blood.

Very important health hazard is developing tolerance to appetite suppressants. Initially, there will be marked reduction in the overall appetite. But as the days of treatment progresses, response to the medicines fades away.

The effect of medication may experience different results.

Moreover, these medications are classified under a group called Amphetamines. This is a group of medicines to control our mood. If the appetite suppressants are used indiscriminately, there will be unexpected changes in our mood. This is another serious complication and requires urgent medical help.

Following is a list of common prescription strong appetite suppressant
Dexfenfluramine (Redux)
Phentermine (Fastin, Oby-trim, Adipex-P)
Diethylpropion (Dospan, Tenuate)
Phendimetrazine (Plegine, Bontril, Prelu-2)

While buying prescription appetite suppressants, you should consider the facts that are discussed here. Otherwise, you may land up in trouble.

Eat Or Not Eat…That Is The Question !!

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

Just like the Majority of the People, I am very conscious of my Weight,so with so many Diet (Lose Weight) Fads on the go these days , it’s so hard to know which one to choose , if any at all. As for myself , I have tried them all, and all I ever Lost of any Significance was …You got it…. “Money”.

However, always wanting to Lose that Extra few pounds and feel good about myself,especially with Summer approaching…I went Surfing on the Net and discovered two brand New Lose Weight Programs.

Being the ever Curious one, I started to read the first one called The Accelerated Fat Burning Program . What they had to say seemed to be quite interesting to me ..”You need to eat more than 3 times per day to lose weight,it’s not really any more complicated than that, and the way to start losing weight has nothing to do with starving yourself or jogging.You probably find it hard to believe that eating more than 3 times per day could be the solution to speeding up weight loss, right’?

Sounded pretty good to me, Eat more than 3 times a day and No exercise.Perfect for me …I thought.

They Almost had me Sold…Until, guess what? …my Curiosity got the best of me and I clicked on the very next Link in the Search engine.To my Surprise, I discovered yet another brand new Weight Loss Program this one was called …Eat Stop Eat.

So I thought …Why not Check this one out too?…Its always good to get at least Two different Opinions…but was I in for a Shock!!

This Program told me…Are You Ready For This?….That I had to do the Exact Opposite as The Accelerated Fat Burning Program. It basically said…”that if you Stop Eating …You will Lose Weight, and Burn Stubborn Body Fat…All while preserving your Metabolism.People need to understand the amazing Weight Loss results they can get by using a simple combination of flexible periods of intermittent Fasting and Weight Training.”

So now you see my Problem. Just when I thought I had found a Great New Idea , one that actually seemed to make sense in helping me Lose Weight..along comes a Totally Different Idea, one that just might work.So now, I am Confused as heck, as in which one I should try? which one would work?and which one should I really Invest my Money in?

To Eat or Not To Eat ….That is the Million Dollar Question.!!

New Accelerated Fat Burning Program

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

We will or have all tried to Lose Weight during some part of our lives.We try everything from …

** Low Carb Diets
** Low Calorie Diets
** Low Fat Diets
** and so on……

How much Money have we Spent,trying so hard to get the Results we wanted, but mostly all we get is Frustration and then we Give up!!

Weight loss programs such as Weight Watchers (and Jenny Craig) usually involve slower dieting progress over a longer period of time, since such programs generally promise only 2-3 pounds of weight loss per week. Also, programs such as Jenny Craig usually involve buying special meals and/or dietary supplements during the initial phases of the program.

While some people may like these types of dietary programs, I prefer a dieting plan which focuses on faster weight loss, such as the “New” Accelerated Fat Burning Program.

What if I could show you a system of eating which was so different from anything else you’ve ever seen, that you’ll notice a change in your body in just 11 Days from Today?

Forget about your past dieting failures for a moment.

Just focus on one thought right now……….WHAT IF it was really possible to change your body in 11 days?

Believe it or not it’s really possible to change your body over the NEXT 11 DAYS, and it has NOTHING to do with positive thinking…….because positive thinking all by itself won’t remove a single pound from your body.

That’s right………..if you want to get NOTICEABLY THINNER IN THE MIRROR then you need MUCH MORE than just “positive thinking”.

Okay………get ready to be shown an Eating System which is so unique that you’re going to be anxious to begin immediately.

We know that there are *some* people who don’t truly believe that they can change their own body within the next couple weeks, but please keep reading below with an open mind.

Our Diet System uses another technique called CALORIE SHIFTING.

This means that your body will be given different types of calories each day………..which confuses your metabolism and forces FASTER fat loss to happen.

Don’t Believe it? Keep reading below…

The Shifting Calories Theory…

Your body always “attempts” to burn the exact number of calories that you eat each day (this makes weight loss nearly impossible for many people).

However, through careful testing Doctors have made a discovery about the human body.

They’ve discovered that the human body takes several days to “sense” any change in calories — so if you SHIFT your calories (in a VERY special way) then your body gets “confused” and begins burning extra fat tissue (but only if you follow our carefully tested eating pattern).

That’s the “TRICK” which allows this diet to force SUPER FAST weight loss to happen….and that’s why this diet works so much faster than other diets.

So what have you gotta Lose…Except ..UMMMMMM ..Maybe Weight!!. You’re about to shock your body by using a diet which you’ve never tried before.
