How to Lose Weight Without Exercising
Recommended Answer:
There is no pill that "burns fat". That is a marketing phrase. Period.The principle ingredients in diet pills are caffeine and B vitamins. Even the "caffeine free" blends contain herbs that contain - caffeine!Let's pretend any of these "thermogenic" diet pills really do what they say.The thermic effect of eating, digesting, and other food energy related functions only account for 10% of your total BMR (basal metabolic rate). So if you are fairly active a diet of 2000 calories per day is pretty reasonable for a maintenance diet. That means 200 calories go to thermic burn. Now let's say these wonderful diet pills increase your thermic burn by 50%. That is a huge change in any body function. So we have increased our caloric burn by??.... 100 calories per day! Or less than one pound per month. For anywhere from $40 to $200 a month. You can burn 100 calories a day just drinking 100 oz of ice cold beverages!That is why these bogus and often dangerous pills cannot get FDA approval. They simply cannot prove their outrageous claims with acceptable clinical evidence.Read the container and you will see each and every one of them says somewhere on the label it is a "dietary supplement'. Loopholes in the current laws allow peddlers to promote their products without accepted medical evidence to prove their outrageous claims.All this stuff is putting your liver and kidneys through a lot of unnecessary and potentially dangerous activity.Many spices like chili powder, different peppers, garlic powder, cinnamon and others cause an increase in the thermic affect of food. But come on, you can eat pennies per day of seasonings and get the same benefit as these diet pills.A healthy diet of whole unprocessed foods will give you much greater results.The "free trial" programs on t.v. and online bill you $3.95 for shipping and then before you know it they pop you for another $100 for another 30 or 60 day supply you didn't realize you signed up for. Even if you successfully return the unused product within the narrow window allowed they still make money off the shipping and handling fees.Common side effects of most diet pillsArrhythmia (irregular heartbeat)Heart complicationsJaundice (yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes)Kidney problemsUnexplained headaches and dizzinessExcessive fatigue Loss of appetiteRestlessness, anxietyNausea, vomitingSeizures
