More and more
spend hundreds and even thousands of dollars yearly on weight loss supplements
in the hope of speeding up their metabolism.
The main desire is to be attractive and accepted but it is becoming a more
difficult goal to achieve. The fitness
industry is booming but still a lot of people are unable to cut those fat in
spite of all the exercise and diet efforts.
In America, more than sixty percent of adults are overweight and thirty
percent are considered obese. This is
because: one, a lot of weight loss products promises unrealistic goals; two,
dietary supplement manufacturers rely on the overweight person’s failure to
survive; and three, the information about the supplements in the market are just
written by themselves just to make a sale.
Although the Food
and Drug Administration has successfully banned illegal marketers, some
products are still available. Consumers
can be deceived of the labels which claim caffeine or ephedra fee not knowing
that these supplements composes of other ingredients that may pose the same
health risks. These include heart and
digestive problems, headaches, insomnia, and even psychological side effects.
Other supplement
manufacturers say that their products contain EGCG which is a phytochemical
ingredient found in green tea. This
so-called component claims to speed up metabolism but in reality, poses to
reduce the risk of cancer. Some studies
denote that it could slightly increase the potential to burn calories and now
can be found in many weight loss supplements.
It has good points on the other hand since the body might conform to
EGCG after a period of time. Eve the
weight loss benefit could sum up to 60 to 70 calories a day. This helps prevent excessive weight
gain.
A few other
significant effects of weight loss supplements is that it may contain
ingredients that makers claim will prevent the absorption of
carbohydrates. One good example is
Chitosan, which appears most promising, which in fact shows no positive result
in fat absorption. It could even take up
to seven months for men to lose just a pound of body fat and for women, there
is no fat loss at all. Thyroid supplements
act as thyroid replacements help regulate and optimize the thyroid at a higher
level. This they say makes the body feel
like a couch potato and won’t perform the job it has to.
Since the number
one reason why people eat is because they feel hungry, there is another type of
ingredient that manufacturers made which increases the feeling of being full
and decreases appetite, Guar Gum.
However, recent studies show that it has no meaningful benefit at all to
weight loss. It is ironic that
manufacturers mix Psyllium that has the reputation of reducing eating and
aiding weight loss for initial studies so far do not support this claim
although it helps control blood cholesterol and sugar.
One of the latest
innovations in the fat loss industry is by way of skin absorption. There’s a Cutting Gel, which is an epidril
product by far the best selling in fat loss creams technology. Rub it where you want the fats cut. For now, it will seem safer to advise the age
old remedies to excessive weight gain and that is to invest in walking shoes
instead of diet supplements, go to the park and do brisk walking, go to the
gym, and have a well-balanced diet instead.
