Diet pills are more popular than aphrodisiacs, and the most popular blue pills, take Singapore as an example. Last year’s No. 1 best-selling drug was “Aphrodisiac”, with sales of more than 10 million yuan. The second place was “Xenical”, which was only 1% lower than “Aphrodisiac”. But in terms of price, “Xenical” is cheaper than aphrodisiac. If By the number of pills, Xenical should outperform aphrodisiacs. After all, no man takes aphrodisiacs every day, but there are women who take Xenical every day. It can be seen that, in terms of tablet consumption, Xenical is more than aphrodisiac. Obesity has been called by some medical experts as a “disease” that is more difficult to cure than cancer. Diet pills are one of the most lucrative industries in the world. 7 out of 10 people trying to lose weight have tried diet pills. Diet pills are also the shortest-lived drugs in the world. Every weight loss drug is like a meteor from its introduction to its death. Everyone has infinite expectations and lacks patience. It is difficult for us to know, who is our medicine to lose weight? Weight loss medicine achieves the goal of losing weight by keeping people happy. There are 2 latest sayings about weight loss medicine:
Myth 1: Diet pills are a psychological placebo
The basis of this statement is that diet pills have given us psychological hints: I am about to lose weight! Many people take diet pills and at the same time, in order to achieve their ideal weight, they will consciously take measures to increase exercise and control diet.” auxiliary” means. Although when introducing successful experiences, they often only remember the credit of diet pills. In any case, diet pills here keep us in a good mood. Do diet pills only keep you in shape, not lose weight?
Myth 2: Diet pills are not used to “lose weight”, but to “maintain the body after weight loss”.
A research report in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition pointed out that diet pills are not used to “lose weight”, but to “maintain the figure after weight loss”. The basis for this claim is that anyone can lose 10-30% of their body weight with just “exercise + diet”. The problem is that after losing weight successfully, many people will regain weight again. Losing weight is easy, maintaining it is hard. After all, very few people can live a long life of self-denial. In order to keep people who lose weight maintain their weight after losing weight, the researchers put forward the theory of “putting people who lose weight on diet pills”. New problems follow, maintaining weight is a longer-term process than losing weight, and all weight-loss drugs have a very short market time, and there is no reference for long-term use. Who can guarantee the safety of long-term use?
The three most common misunderstandings about diet pills:
Diet pills are all my hope to lose weight
In fact, it is at best 1/3 hope. We can often see advertisements for various diet pills and weight loss products. It would be nice if losing weight and continuing the process was as “quick and easy” as advertised. But you should be very clear in your heart: losing weight is not that simple. Obesity has been called by some medical experts a “disease” that is more difficult to cure than cancer. If there’s a drug that’s both effective and safe to lose weight, and you don’t need to exercise or change your eating habits, the inventor of this drug will win a Nobel Prize. As far as we know, no Nobel laureate has ever been awarded for the invention of diet pills. So don’t put all your expectations on diet pills. Diet pills play at most 1/3 of the role in weight loss. You must exercise regularly and eat properly while taking the medicine.
- Foreign diet pills may not be safe
The weight loss pills brought back from abroad must be safe. The fact is that you have nowhere to complain if you have a problem. Don’t fall in love with diet pills your friends brought back from abroad. In the US, for example, some diet pills sold over the counter even contain thyroxine derived from animals, or something like that. Reported side effects of such products include nervousness, tremors, diarrhea, proptosis, rapid heartbeat, night sweats and heat intolerance…
- The ingredients of natural herbs are sometimes no different from those of chemicals.
“Natural” and “herbal medicine” must be safe, no matter whether it comes from a laboratory or an alpine forest, as long as it interferes with the body’s metabolism, its effect is no different from chemicals. For example, ephedra is a natural herb, but it contains exciting ingredients – flavonoids and pseudoephedrine, which have strong chemical effects on the human body. It suppresses appetite by stimulating the nervous system and thyroid. There are side effects such as paralysis of hands and feet, increased blood pressure, nervousness and palpitations due to vasoconstriction.
