There are many options of weight loss pills on the market today, some that can be found from your local nutrition store, some that doctors prescribe, as well as some that are only found on the internet. Many people search for that miracle, rapid weight loss pill that can be taken without diet and exercise but will still help them lose lots of weight. The fact is that such a supplement or weight loss pill does not exist. There are some that will burn a little weight on their own, but most are designed to work with a proper diet and exercise and supplement what your body needs. There are a lot of people that take the time to cook proper meals and eat right along with exercising everyday, yet still seem to be unable to shed those unwanted pounds. Some body types simply cannot seem to lose the weight that people want.
Many people often question the functionality behind how weight loss pills work and what they do to your body. A lot of people do not always feel safe taking weight loss pills, which is completely understandable due to all of the bad press they receive. Which is why we would like to share with you the break down of how they work and give a few examples of our own weight loss pill reviews.
Safe Weight Loss Pills
There are so many people that are looking for safe weight loss pills and the ugly truth is that there are none around that are 100% safe for everyone. Because different people have a wide variety of bodies types, everyone reacts differently to various drugs and weight loss diet pills. The proper thing to do is talk to your physician and ask what your body could and could not undergo. First and foremost, avoid diet pills that have an affect on hormones; and avoid ones that claim they will help you shed 30-40 pounds in less than a month with no diet and exercise: they do not exist! The safest bet would be to use a supplement that contains thermogenic properties, but does not contain added stimulants. Read on to learn more about specific types of weight loss diet pills.
Herbal Weight Loss Pills using Thermogenesis:
The act of thermogenesis is to raise the body temperature. This process happens naturally in humans when it’s cold and we need to warm up. Our bodies will often shiver to raise our temperatures. With good weight loss pills, a lot of them will provoke this chemically and heat the body even more in order to help shed more fat and burn more calories. The hotter things are, the natural tendency is that they move quicker; which is what is happening with our organs and cells during thermogenesis, and in turn which is what happens to our metabolisms and the fat burning process. Thermogenesis is performed using various natural products and extracts from different plants such as green tea and ginseng. The one danger behind thermogenesis is that it will in fact heat the body and increase heart rate. A lot of the time, thermogenic pills are combined with stimulants to give people more energy and as another method to burning extra calories.
Rapid FX is a Rivalus product that contains thermogenic properties. Having tested this product myself, I am still on the edge whether or not it was the best choice. At first, I was not satisfied with the results I was seeing, however near the end of the month for which I was taking the supplement, I started noticing more and more shape to my muscles. I also did not do a lot of working out in the first half of the month, so I am starting to believe that this product is one that depends on a good structured workout schedule. The one benefit to this product is its work in reducing free radicals. Free radicals are what is released when the body is under stress, which is exactly what happens with a lot of diet and exercise. The stress and release of free radicals cause signs of aging; Rapid FX works to reduce free radicals to avoid signs of aging when trying to lose weight. The extra feature of Rapid FX is what makes it a great buy for anyone over the age of 30 trying to shed a few extra pounds.
On a side note, we strongly recommend never combining various thermogenic weight loss pills as one already heats the core body temperature, and two or more would just be dangerous to the body. (Such as Rivalus products, Rapid FX and MPower (which we will be discussing further on)).
Ephedra weight loss pills (ephedrine):
Many pills from a number of years ago used to perform thermogenesis along with a drug called ephedrine. As mentioned earlier, some thermogenic pills will contain stimulants to increase fat loss, which is exactly what ephedrine is: a stimulant. Ephedra, which is the plant that ephedrine is derived from, has gone through many stages with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Currently, the use of ephedrine is banned in weight loss pills only, but can still be prescribed to remedy asthma, colds, allergies and other diseases. The worry behind using ephedrine for weight loss is that people were taking it too much and abusing it; ephedrine had been causing heart problems due to over stimulation, and in some cases resulting in death.
Red Rockets Ultimate Thermogenesis is a product that has been banned as a weight loss supplement for a few years now as it contains ephedrine. Red Rockets still contain the common ingredients for regular thermogenesis but had the extra dose of ephedrine. As a company that specializes in sporting events, we do not recommend using this product, especially in places of high heat as it could result in cardiovascular damage.
Natural Weight Loss Pills using Mitochondria Biogenesis:
More recently there have been products developed that claim to increase the number and size of the mitochondria found in muscle tissue. Mitochondria are types of cells that turn carbohydrates and oxygen into energy (ATP energy). Mitochondria are what fuel our muscles and burn our extra carbs, producing natural energy and weight loss.
One product that uses this technique is the ever more popular Rivalus product, MPower. MPower is designed to increase size and numbers of mitochondria to give people more natural energy (no crash or jitters) and burn fat. From personal experience Mpower is a great product and certainly one of the most powerful weight loss pills. It gives extra energy in the morning as well as the evening and shows promising signs of weight loss. Our suggestion would be to avoid using this product while out in extreme heat, as it also contains thermogenic properties and will increase body temperature as well.
Hormones:
When you start looking into various hormone altering products, pay attention to ones that target specific male and female hormones. Most of the mentioned products already have next to no variance when it comes to men and women. However, when the supplements start effecting testosterone or estrogen hormones, then there are often specific weight loss pills for women and for men that target these different hormones.
Best Weight Loss Pills for Women:
For one reason or another, it always seems that women have a harder time trying to lose weight. Women can work harder and eat less than men, but still seem to struggle when it comes to shedding the same amount of pounds. There are many products on the market that target women specifically to help with this matter.
A product by Femme Slender called Body Beautiful uses L-Carnitine to suppress appetite in women. This product is said to be safe for women of all ages. Body Beautiful can be taken for two months, but it is advised taking a month off to give the body a rest and ensure that it will remain effective.
Best Weight Loss Pills for Men:
There seem to be fewer products targeted specifically for men. My guess is that the most common weight loss pills work great on males but not always on females, which is why there are so many different products for just women but not just men. However, there is of course one hormone that certain products target in order to increase strength, promote weight loss and even increase energy levels: testosterone.
A new Rivalus product, Enpulse specifically targets men to increase the natural production of testosterone and decrease the production of estrogen. Enpulse works not only increase performance, muscle mass and fat loss as seen with higher testosterone levels, but also increases other aspects in which testosterone is used.
HGH Weight Loss Diet Pills:
There are many weight loss supplements on the market today that claim to target the human growth hormone (HGH). HGH products raise the level of the hormone found in the body; as we produce less and less with age. The HGH works with the liver and pancreas and helps to prevent glucose from being stored into fat cells, thus forcing the body to burn more sugar and fat for energy. Higher levels of the HGH also enable people to grow more muscle tissue cells, which stops after puberty. Normally people need to grow their existing cells, but the human growth hormone will also aid in creating more cells as well.
Nutropin or other Somatropin (HGH) targeted products increase the level of Human Growth Hormones found in the human body. These products claim to be safe and do exactly as mentioned in the previous paragraph. When it comes to these products, I personally have never tried them as I am not someone to interfere with the natural hormone process of my body. Use your own due diligence and if you are interested in one of these products, ask your doctor and research further into a specific brand.
Rivalus does offer a product called Helix-24 which is designed as an anabolic gene activator, increasing the levels of Human Growth Hormone within the first 24 hours.
Weight Loss Stack
A weight loss stack is the idea of combining two or more weight loss drugs that will work together to improve wight loss significantly more than if they were taken alone. When it comes to stacking weight loss pills, people need to be careful and do their research on what each pill contains and what could happen when mixed with the others. Your best bet is to use a weight loss stack that is already well known. A lot of stacks however tend to be quite a bit more expensive as they are combining a variety of products.
The PAGG stack is growing to be one of the most popular weight loss stacks on the market. The PAGG stack was developed after Tim Ferriss came out with his recent book, Four Hour Body and went into detail on each substance that the body needs to lose weight; including Policonanol, Alpha-Lioic Acid, Green Tea Extract, Garlic (allicin) and Vitamin B Complex. To purchase each time separately as outlined in the Four Hour Body would be quite expensive; which is where the PAGG stack was created. The PAGG stack delivers everything that is outlined in the book with only two bottles and four pills a day.
The Ephedrine, Caffeine, Aspirin (ECA) stack was one of the most popular a number of years ago, and continues to be today. Each ingredient worked together to promote weight loss. This stack was often used by purchasing each products individually, however there were companies that manufactured the stack together. Again, as mentioned before, the one problem with this stack is that it contains ephedrine, which can be dangerous to people, especially those with a family history of cardiovascular problems.
With all of the various options of weight loss pills for women, men, athletes, and so on, there is only one sure fire thing to do before starting a new fitness regime with one of these supplements: talk to your physician. Ask your doctor about the product and whether or not it would be safe for your body to take. See which type of weight loss pill he / she recommends for your body type and if it’s safe, then you might as well give it a try. Perhaps try a couple different products (never at the same time) and then stick to one that you like best.
