Visit the diet aisle of any drugstore and you’ll see a huge selection of diet pills. There are so many diet pills on the market that it can be confusing to know which pills are effective and which pills are downright dangerous.
Not all diet pills work the same. Some diet pills speed up metabolism, some block carbohydrates and some help suppress appetite.
Another type of diet pill is the fat binder. These pills are very common. The idea behind them is to bind together the fats you consume and then allow the body to pass the fat naturally. The assumption with this type of pill is that the fat is not absorbed. If fat is not absorbed then cut calories and without these extra calories, you will see rapid weight loss. A very popular example of a fat binder pill is Alli.
The idea behind fat binder type pills to lose weight is understandable but there are some serious side effects that come with this type of pill when you read the fine print.
When fat binding pills are used to lose weight, not only the fat in your body, other essential vitamins and beneficial nutrients may be missing from your diet because these pills bridge the gap between bad fat and good fat. Can recognize Essential fats such as omega 3 oils will tend to bind with the bad fats in your diet. As a result, your body is deprived of heart-healthy foods.
Some of the worst side effects of fat binders are cramps, diarrhea, loose stools, greasy stools and worst of all – anal leakage! This leak can happen at the worst possible time. If you’re not scared yet and decide to go ahead and use these pills, be sure to take a “diaper bag” with you, just in case!
