Best Weight Loss Pills

There are a number weight loss pills claiming to be the best weight loss pills ever. Do these live upto their claim? If you are on the heavier side you must have asked yourself this question a thousand times. Looking for the best weight loss pills you might have even fallen prey to a number of scams.

As you might already know, weight loss pills can be divided into different categories. This is according to the action they perform. Therefore the best weight loss pills for anyone depends on what effects is one looking for.

Three major categories for this are - appetite suppressants, fat burners and fat blockers. Among these fat blockers are now available more easily, and have recently gained enormous popularity. Xenical which is the brand name for Orlistat in particular has been very popular. Due to its success it has been even referred to be among the best weight loss pills ever. It works by blocking a pancreatic enzyme called lipase and subsequently inhibits fat absorption. Blocking fat absorption eventually helps you lose weight as you are absorbing less calories.

So does Xenical live up to the mark of being considered among the best weight loss pills? Clinical studies have proven that Xenical works on varying degrees on different people, but it does work in all of them. This variation is determined by individual compliance, diet and exercise. In one year clinical trial study showed that between 35.5% and 54.8% of the subjects achieved atleast a 5% reduction in body mass. Upto 24.8% actually achieved atleast a 10% reduction in body mass! The most impressive finding was the reduction of incidence of type II diabetes in almost 37% of the subjects. It was because of these findings that Xenical is considered among the best weight loss pills ever.

A thing to remember that although the above results are very impressive, after the subjects stopped taking Xenical i.e. after one year period, a significant number of subjects regained 35% of the lost weight i.e. if someone lost 30 pounds over one year they regained 35% of that. An important thing to remember about Xenical is its mode of action. No doubt that it is among the best weight loss pills, it’s mode of action is by binding fat and preventing fat absorption. Once you stop taking Xenical (and therefore let the fat absorb) and continue with the same old diet then of course the fat which was before not being absorbed by Xenical now goes to your system and hence the weight gain. So the solution is to start with Xenical and modify your diet along the way.Although it is among the best weight loss pills out there an effort on ones part is important for long term goals.
