Orlistat Warning?

Orlistat is a kind of diet product that is available mainly by prescription (Xenical) but in some formulas as over-the-counter (Alli).  It is intended to reduce the amount of fat your body absorbs from your diet.

Orlistat Ingredients

Orlistat is also known as tetrahydrolipstatin, which works by inhibiting pancreatic lipase which is key in breaking down triglycerides in the intestines. This prevents about 30% of dietary fat from being absorbed.
Long-term studies have shown that about a third of the participants decreased body mass by 5% and less than a fifth decreased body mass by 10%.  These are fairly significant results

Common side effects with use of Orlistat or similar products is oily, loose feces and flatulence.  (Excuse me while I vomit.)  This is due to the excess dietary fat that is excreted undigested into the intestines.

Orlistat Pros

  • Significant trial results for some.

Orlistat Cons

  • High cost
  • Oily feces
  • Excess gas

Orlistat Conclusion

If you don’t mind the extremely unpleasant side effects , this product might be for you.  Though only less than a fifth of those who have used it in studies have lost significant weight, it still might be worth a try.  It is certainly not my first recommendation, but if you want to shell out the extra cash then help yourself.

#2 Phenphedrine

  • Gives users an "Herbal" feeling: "Natural High"
  • Helps Appetite Suppression
  • Stimulates overall feeling of well being.

Phenphedrine will without a doubt provide users the QUICKEST weight loss results. It's the only product we reviewed that surpassed the weight loss results of the now banned Fen-Phen in Weight Loss Speed and scored a 100% in this category. There have been reports that Phenphedrine's "Controversial" formula contains trace amounts of the prescription drugs Phentermine (a centrally acting stimulant chemically related to amphetamines which halts the hunger sensation in the brain commonly sold under the names Fastin and Adipex) and Prescribed Pain Relievers. Our thorough research into Phenphedrine has not produced any evidence of these ingredients and we believe these rumors to be false.

Phenphedrine does however give users a feeling of a "Happy" sensation which helps suppress ones appetite and overall feeling of well-being. This euphoric feeling is most likely caused by a herbal combination of intense stimulants that stimulate what is known in the scientific community as C-A-R-T and Humulus Lupus (one of only two plants in the family Cannabinaceaea... the other being Marijuana) which inhibits NPY. Concerns that Phenphedrine may be soon taken off the market like Fen-Phen may make finding bottles in the U.S., Canada, and United Kingdom difficult. Phenphedrine is definitely the diet pill of choice for those seeking extraordinary RAPID results. Its results Super Exceed its price tag.

#3 Ephedrasil Hardcore

Ephedrasil Hardcore was not made for the average dieter looking to shed a few pounds of fat. It was made for those looking to lose AT LEAST 25 pounds. Yes, this is one HARDCORE weight loss pill.

To clear the rumors, Ephedrasil doesn't contain ephedra or ephedrine alkaloids. And it doesn't contain any other banned substances. It contains pharmaceutical-grade, potent fat burners and appetite suppressants, all of which are legal (currently) in the US.

At $79, Ephedrasil Harcore is pricey, but you get from you pay for. With a 98.4% success rate (according to EH) there isn't much risk in giving it a try. They even offer a 90 Day money back guarantee guarantee.

hi, i used to be 19st then my gp had put me on orlistat, i had losed a staggering 6st, an feel much better, the only problem with this medication you cannot eat fatty foods, as your stools are very oily, an you would need to be near a loo, other wise apart from that i would reccomend them to any one who wants to lose weight, i cant wait untill you can buy them over the counter as i have put on a few pounds again, and my gp will not perscribe me them untill i have lost the weight again,
