We come across advertisements of thousands of slimming products these days making tall claims. The article tries to examine how authentic are these claims.
Man’s quest for finding an easy way to get rid of the obstinate, ugly fat is age-old, and so are various slimming products. Television and internet pester you with the advertisements of thousands of slimming products, which make claims that you feel are too fantastic, too good to be true. Most of these claims are unsubstantiated, and not based on any scientific research. It’s true that not believing something only because researchers haven’t yet found time or motivation to substantiate its veracity is perhaps not completely justified, yet this is the proven way, and lack of it does give rise to suspicion. Yet experience can sometimes be an alternative to scientific research, and has to be given at least some weightage. Traditional recipes and systems of medicine come under this category.
Various slimming products and services are available these days claiming to alleviate your weight woes without the need for exercise and dieting, and risking any harmful side effects. The list is endless: weight loss pills, shakes, belts, slimming centers, weight loss teas, herbal products, the list goes on and on. Most of these products come with the promise of “money back” if you are not satisfied with the results within a certain time period. Now the million dollar question is whether you can believe these claims.
Pills: Weight loss pills work on the principle of suppressing appetite. These have been use for nearly a century under different compositions and product names, and experience has shown that they do more harm than good. They have fatal side effects and even their effectiveness in burning fat is limited. Most of these drugs have been banned from time to time by various medical associations across the world. Doctors prescribe them only as a last resort and that too for only short duration.
Belts: Most of the saunabelts just heat up your abdomen and make you lose body moisture. These are sheer wastage of time and money and hardly cause any weight loss. These belts can cause nausea, skin rashes and burns and stomach pain.
Shakes: These shakes do cause some weight loss in the beginning, but as soon as you leave using them and go back to your original eating habits, the fat comes back with a vengeance. These shakes lack in fibre and some other essential nutrients and can cause constipation and fatigue in the long run.
Weight loss tea: It usually contains high levels of antioxidants that boost metabolism and speed up the rate of fat burning, resulting in weight loss. It’s normally effective in helping you shed fat and doesn’t have harmful side effects being natural. However, some slim teas may contain strong laxatives and may be harmful to people with severe eating disorders. One must research the ingredients carefully and consult their physicians if they suffer from any such disorders.
Obesity can cause several life-threatening and debilitating diseases, and one should try natural ways to get rid of the excess fat and lead a healthy, fat-free life.
