There are many different types of pills to consider including fat binders, appetite suppressants, fat blockers, colon cleansers, anti-oxidants, and carb blockers to name a few. The important thing is that you pick one that has strengths that match your weaknesses.
Which are the best types of slimming tablets?
Probably the most respected two methods from the list above in terms of medical backing are fat binders and appetite suppressants.
Fat binders are ideal for you if you have a diet which is fairly high in fat. For instance you may eat out a lot or eat takeaways regularly. A fat binder is able to bind the fat from the foods you consume and prevent them being absorbed by your body. Instead they pass through your body naturally.
Fat binders are good if your problem is not so much that you eat too much but more that you eat the wrong things.
Appetite suppressants work the other way in that they help to stop you consuming those fatty foods in the first place. They are ideal for you if you eat too much in one go or if you tend to snack between meals.
They work by making you feel fuller than you actually are so that you not only eat less but also do not get as strong cravings between meals. This makes them perfect if your problem is not so much that you eat an unhealthy diet but more than you just eat too much food.
