The problem of excess weight does not lose its relevance. Poor nutrition and a passive lifestyle lead to more and more work for nutritionists. If the percentage of body fat is small, then a simple diet with slight restrictions on fats and carbohydrates is usually sufficient. Just a few months and the weight returns to normal. It’s more difficult if a person’s initial weight is high. In this case, to speed up the weight loss process and increase its effectiveness, pills for burning belly fat are used. Today we consider the principle of operation of the most popular of them.

Doctors' opinion

Experts do not recommend uncontrolled use of medications. They have features that must be taken into account when prescribing. There are pills for burning belly fat with an evidence base. That is, they have been studied inside and out and have a clear and predictable result.

Another difficulty is that you need to not only lose weight, but also keep it off. This is the danger of drugs that give quick results. Moving slowly and confidently towards your goal is much better than moving quickly and with a bad forecast. Below is a rating of popular drugs, as well as products used by athletes.

Thermogenics: names of fat burning pills

The following products can be found at the pharmacy:

1. Dexfenfluramine (brand name Redux) is a two-in-one drug: it causes a slight increase in temperature and at the same time dulls the feeling of hunger. The drug is available in white gelatin capsules, each containing 15 mg of the active substance - dexfluramine hydrochloride. As a result of taking it, a person eats less food. An increase in temperature allows you to get rid of 0.5-1 kg of excess fat mass unnoticed by those losing weight, only by “stimulating” metabolism. At the moment, it is quite difficult to find this product on pharmacy shelves due to an impressive list of contraindications. It is not currently produced in our country, but you can find a drug from foreign countries (the best manufacturer of this product is Solgar) sold in the form of capsules in pharmacies, produced both in our country and abroad. The main active ingredient is hydroxycitric acid. Dulls the feeling of hunger, while simultaneously activating the process of fat oxidation. The peculiarity of the supplement is that it does not immediately produce results - you need to take a certain course of the drug. This type of fat burner is considered one of the safest, so it is sold in pharmacies without a prescription.

Main groups of drugs

The principle of action of fat burning products may be as follows:

• Thermogenics. Caffeine-based drugs that increase body temperature. An increase in temperature activates metabolic processes, which leads to an increase in calorie consumption.
• Appetite suppressants, or anoretic drugs. They block the feeling of hunger. As a result, you forget about your next trip to the kitchen or cafeteria and calmly watch your colleagues chewing. The result will not be long in coming. Reducing your daily diet by just 100 kcal will already give a significant result in a month. If the difference is more significant, then you can expect more significant plumbs.
• L-carnitine. Today almost all athletes use it. This is an amino acid that transports fat cells with their subsequent destruction and energy production.

Time-tested "Xenical"

One of the best and most effective medicines for weight loss. Unlike most others, it actually works. These belly fat burning pills work on the following principle: they block the absorption of fats from food. As a result, the body has no choice but to use up the emergency reserve.

"Xenical" can be taken for a year or more. After achieving the result, it is used for maintenance on those days when the diet was broken. This is usually true during the holidays. During the course of treatment, lipase is blocked, thereby preventing the accumulation of fat mass. Consumed lipids leave the body unchanged.

Almost all belly fat burning pills have side effects. In this case, they are associated primarily with changes in stool. Frequent and loose stools are possible, which are accompanied by cramping abdominal pain and violent gas formation. At the same time, there is an increased fat content in the feces, which makes its excretion sometimes uncontrollable.

Judging by the reviews, this is an excellent drug for not only losing weight, but also developing correct eating behavior. The fact is that if you combine the drug with sources of large amounts of fat, you can provoke severe diarrhea. Moreover, fatty feces will leave the body without your desire. That is, there is also an educational moment.

Classification of fat burner drugs

The pharmacy sells many medications that can lead to weight loss if taken regularly. Some of them have more contraindications, some have fewer. All fat burners can be classified according to their principle of action as follows:

• thermogenics, which slightly increase the temperature of the human body and thereby promote fat burning;
• anorectics, which suppress appetite by affecting certain areas of the brain;
• lipolytics are able to break down fat mass;
• fat or carbohydrate blockers should be taken directly with food, in which case they interfere with the digestion and absorption of nutrients;
• Antidepressants are also capable, like anorectics, of suppressing appetite, but their mechanism of action is somewhat different.

Effervescent tablets "Eco Slim"

Today they are just gaining popularity. But there are already reviews that show a positive assessment of the drug by consumers. First of all, this is due to the natural composition. Each effervescent tablet contains vitamin B complex, succinic acid, caffeine, taurine and inositol. All this together acts as an antidepressant and a drug that will protect you from overeating. That is, this drug for burning belly fat acts on the principle of an appetite suppressant. The manufacturer promises that within the first 15 minutes after taking the drug you will forget about the feeling of hunger. Therefore, it is recommended to take it after a small portion of protein food.

The manufacturer assures that thanks to this drug you can reduce the amount of food you consume without experiencing hunger pangs. Consumers note that from the first days nervousness goes away, and with it the desire to quickly eat a bun with candy. This has a beneficial effect on the process of weight loss. In a month you can lose up to 6-8 kg without any pain.

The drug "Reduxin"

A very effective drug that is used to reduce excess weight. Contains sibutramine in combination with cellulose. The drug is sold in pharmacies, but is sold strictly with a prescription. Used as prescribed by a nutritionist if other means have not given a positive result. The drug is a powerful antidepressant and also an appetite suppressant. That's why there are so many positive reviews, it is guaranteed to help in the fight against excess weight.

But sibutramine is addictive and causes severe depression upon withdrawal. It also increases the risk of developing cardiovascular disease, as evidenced by an increased rate of death from heart attacks or strokes among patients taking this weight loss drug. Therefore, it is considered “heavy artillery” and is appointed only in exceptional cases.

The drug contains several natural components, each of which contributes to the final result:

• Hoodia Gordoni. This cactus has been used by Bushmen since time immemorial. Thanks to the properties of the plant, they were able to maintain their tone and curb their appetite while traveling through the desert.
• Irvingia of Gabon. Its second name is African mango. This product increases the production of a hormone that suppresses appetite, slows down the absorption of food from the gastrointestinal tract and speeds up metabolism.
• Glucomannan (konjac) is a real gut sweeper. A dietary supplement based on water-soluble dietary fiber is extracted from the root of this plant. The fibers swell with water and give you a feeling of fullness.

Additional components are coleus extract, evening primrose oil, yacon root extract, lipase and linoleic acid. One tablet contains a daily dose of substances that are necessary to activate the fat burning process.

Preparations with a lipolytic effect that allow you to lose weight

Fat burner drugs with a lipolytic effect are effective and relatively safe for health when used regularly. This class of drugs is also called lipotropics.

Most of them contain chitosan. This is a substance that sorbs fats and promotes the removal of their breakdown products from the body, prevents the accumulation of fats in cells and tissues, and helps normalize the intestinal microflora. With regular use of preparations containing chitosan, you can get rid of 2-3 kg per month without making much effort.

One of the most popular and inexpensive drugs from this series is “Chitosan” from Evalar. You can also purchase a product from the manufacturer Fortex. 1 tablet contains: chitosan 125 mg, microcrystalline cellulose 311 mg, ascorbic acid 10 mg. This fat burner can be bought in a pharmacy without a prescription from a doctor; it costs about 500 rubles per package of tablets, which will last for a month. Side effects during use are practically excluded, however, patient reviews report that in the first days of use, indigestion may be observed.

Expected Result

Judging by the reviews, during the first week it is possible to get rid of 5-7 kg of excess weight. In a month you can get rid of 20 or more kilograms. At the same time, general well-being improves, sleep normalizes, and vigor appears. Moreover, studies have shown that during the course of treatment the risk of early atherosclerosis and diabetes mellitus is reduced. The drug is safe for health if you follow the instructions for its use; it usually does not cause side effects. Quality certificates confirm safety.

In what cases are lipolytics used?

Intralipotherapy is carried out to: eliminate local fat deposits that are impossible or difficult to remove using other methods other than surgery (cheeks, chin, nose and eyelid area, sides, navel, knees, etc.). Treatment of lipomas (wen) and widow's hump. Treatment of any form of cellulite, up to stage IV (in combination with other procedures). Getting rid of minor excess weight. Correction of aesthetic defects after unevenly performed liposuction. Removal of small diameter cholesterol plaques on the eyelids. As a concomitant procedure for face and neck lifts, etc. Contrary to popular belief, it is impossible to cure obesity or get rid of a large amount of excess weight with lipolytic injections. There are objective restrictions on the volume of drugs administered in 1 session, which the body can cope with without harm to health.

The presence of significant excess weight indicates serious disorders of lipid metabolism in the body, most often of hormonal origin. Therefore, figure correction in this case should be carried out mainly by normalizing nutrition and treating the underlying disease leading to the appearance of fat accumulation, and lipolytics will be only part of complex therapy, and only at its final stage.

Modern drug GrassFit

New pills for belly fat keep appearing. Today, professional nutritionists recommend trying a new generation drug called GrassFit. These are absolutely natural tablets based on wheat germ, which work independently and do not require dietary restrictions or increased physical activity.

Not all belly fat burners have gone through as many tests as GrassFit. It has undergone not only research, but also testing on obese patients. More than 50% of patients lost up to 17 kg within a month. Judging by the reviews, when consumed daily, the feeling of hunger is completely eliminated.

The drug "Cefamadar"

What other good diet pills are there? Burning fat is a complex process that requires limiting the intake of lipids and simple carbohydrates into the body. How to do this if you constantly want to eat? First of all, you need to cope with your appetite. For this, a homeopathic medicine based on Madara trituration is used to reduce appetite.

The main active ingredient affects the satiety and hunger centers in the diencephalon, which reduces the desire to eat food. At the same time, the drug has practically no contraindications. Judging by the reviews, these are really effective fat burning pills. Many people note in their reviews that they do not understand what Madara trituration is, but note that the substance really works. I want to eat much less after taking it.

Stimulants for getting rid of fat

Stimulants are pharmaceutical drugs that, as a side effect, allow you to speed up your heart rate, increase your body temperature and thus significantly speed up your metabolism. Tolerance to such drugs very quickly develops, since initially they were not created for weight loss at all, but for other purposes. Very often, stimulants are used as fat burners for weight loss in men. At a pharmacy, a pharmacist may refuse to sell this kind of medicines, since they are classified as conditional prescriptions.

List of stimulants that can affect the rate of fat burning:

• “Clenbuterol” (has no patent and is produced by many pharmacological factories, the active ingredient is clenbuterol hydrochloride);
• “Ephedrine” (belongs to the list of strictly prescription drugs, one of the best manufacturers of the product is Allmax, the active substance is ephedrine hydrochloride);
• "Caffeine" in tablet form also has no patent and is produced by many, "Ozone", etc.

All these drugs can significantly affect the state of the cardiovascular system. The use of stimulants is strictly prohibited for persons with a history of cardiac problems. Otherwise, life-threatening conditions may develop.

The drug "Turboslim"

These are the most popular fat burning pills today. Reviews emphasize accessibility among the advantages, since they are available in any pharmacy and have a low price. There really is a result, but in most cases it is temporary. In addition to capsules, tea and syrup are available for sale. To a greater extent, rapid weight loss is achieved due to the diuretic and laxative properties of the drug components.

Do not forget that rapid loss of fluid can lead to undesirable consequences. That is, the patient feels nausea, rapid heartbeat, and cramping abdominal pain.

"MCC"

If you are looking for which fat burning pills are the safest, then you can consider your search over. Microcrystalline cellulose, from which these tablets are made, is a derivative of natural cotton. This substance cannot be absorbed by our body. But it acts in the same way as dietary fiber. Once in the intestinal lumen, it swells and gives a long-lasting feeling of fullness. That is, the interval between meals and snacks becomes longer, and you gradually lose weight. Reviews about the drug are different. For some, it helped them fight excess weight. Others experienced severe discomfort and intestinal colic after taking the pills. If you do not tolerate coarse fiber well, then you should not try the effect of the MCC drug on yourself.

What to choose

Today there are many drugs on the market that are recommended for use for weight loss. There are even separate pills for burning fat for men and women, although the nature of this phenomenon is the same. This is nothing more than a publicity stunt. But do not forget that not a single pill will work without proper nutrition and reasonable avoidance of junk food, as well as physical activity. If you want to lose weight and have a beautiful and toned body, then you need to work on it comprehensively. The drugs will help burn fat and make the effect more pronounced.

“Clenbuterol” in sports: shall we dry out our body or go to a hospital bed?

Initially, the drug was synthesized for asthma patients. However, in the last decade it has become widespread in the world of fitness and bodybuilding as a means that can burn fat. Athletes actively use it during preparation for competitions. It is necessary in order to minimize the subcutaneous fat layer - “dry out”. Medicine has a frankly negative attitude towards this method of using the drug. Some athletes went straight from the stage to the medical office, as side effects developed: swelling, tachycardia, arrhythmia, etc.

Clenbuterol significantly reduces the activity of lipoprotein lipase. Thanks to this process, it is possible to achieve a record rate of processing of fat deposits by the body. Acting on beta-2 adrenergic receptors of the central nervous system, this drug enhances the secretion of thyroid hormones.

But don’t delude yourself: tolerance develops very quickly, and after just two weeks a person losing weight is forced to increase the dosage of the drug.

While taking it, a slight tremor develops, the person feels either hot or cold, and the body temperature rises slightly. Based on these criteria, we can conclude that the lipolytic effect of the drug has come into force.
