Three Popular Pills for Weight Loss

Jan 29th, 2010

There are just so many diet pills out there these days. You might think with such a saturation of products available on store shelves and from physicians that more people would realize that there is no one supplement or pill that you can take which will realize your weight loss goals for you. You will still need to eat correctly and exercise to get your body in the shape you hope to attain. Without using all three of these tools at your disposal you will remain with the weight struggle you currently are fighting. While weight loss supplements can help in this struggle they cannot win the war by themselves no matter how much we hope that they will. With this information in mind and realizing the role in which these pills play, let’s take a look at three popular pills on the market today.

Phentermine – also known as Adipex which is the brand name for this prescription medication. It is one of the most commonly prescribed drugs for weight loss in America. It is an appetite suppressant, and works very well in this way. Because of its similarities to amphetamine as a stimulant many people are very cautious about using this medication. Because it speeds up the heart to help increase metabolism there is an elevated risk of heart complications.

Hydroxycut – one of the all-time most popular over-the-counter supplements used for losing weight. Because the FDA banned the ingredients that were used in the original formula these pills have been reformulated in recent years. A longtime favorite of bodybuilders this continues to be a popular supplement even today.

Alli – this is one of the key supplements that blends a history of being a prescription pill with what is now an over the counter supplement. Something that makes it popular is that the FDA has approved its use as a weight loss pill. One of the biggest drawbacks to using it is that many people have experienced unwanted side effects. The unwanted side effect is most often a leaky anal discharge. So you can see why it’s not as popular as other choices.
