Lose Weight Naturally - Another Reason to Avoid Weight Loss Pills6759399
Products marketed as great ways to lose weight naturally are constantly going on and off the market. Not only do they gain and lose FDA approval, but there are some out there that make it onto the shelves (especially the "digital" shelves on the internet) without gaining FDA approval in the first place. On December 22, 2008, a new list of these products that claim to help you lose weight naturally was created by the FDA to help you to recognize products that not only don't have their approval, but that are known to be tainted or that can be hazardous to your health.
The FDA's blacklist
Though the list initially contained 28 different products, it has since grown by 41 entries. Those products are:
o 2x Powerful Slimming o 3 Day Diet o Fatloss Slimming o 5x Imelda Perfect Slimming o Imelda Perfect Slim o Imelda Fat Reducer o Perfect Slim o Perfect Slim 5x o Japan Lingzhi 24 Hours Diet o 2 Day Diet o 3x Slimming Power o 8 Factor Diet o 999 Fitness Essence o GMP o 7 Day Herbal Slim o 7 Diet Day/Night Formula o Extrim Plus o Lida DaiDaihua o Phyto Shape o Miaozi Slim Capsules o Royal Slimming Formula o Slim Express 360 o Somotrim o ProSlim Plus o Slimtech o TripleSlim o Slim Waistline o Superslim o Starcaps o Zhen de Shou o Slim Up o Slim Fast o Slim Express 4 in 1 o Slim Waist Formula o Sliminate o Super Fat Burner o Sana Plus o Powerful Slim o Reduce Weight o Trim 2 Plus o Super Slimming o Slimming Formula o Slim Burn o Slim 3 in 1 M18 Royal Diet o Waist Strength Formula o Slim 3 in 1 o Slim 3 in 1 Slim Formula o Slim 3 in 1 Extra Slim Fomula o Perfect Slim Up o 2 Day Diet Slim Advance o Meizitang o Slim 3 in 1 Extra Slim Waist Formula o Natural Model o Miaozi MeiMiaoQianJiaoNang o JM Fat Reducer o 7 Days Diet o Fasting Diet o Meili o Extrim Plus 24 Hour Reburn o Body Slimming o Body Creator o 3 Days Fit o Cosmo Slim o BioEmagrecin o Body Shaping o Eight Factor Diet o 21 Double Slim o 7 Diet o Venom Hyperdrive 3.0
Why the black list?
Active pharmaceutical ingredients within these products that are supposed to help you lose weight naturally have been found by the FDA to be quite dangerous. This includes: o Sibutramine - which is a controlled substance o Phenytoin - which is actually a medication used to prevent seizures o Rimonabant - which is a drug that has not been approved within the United States o Phenolphthalein - which is a chemical solution that is suspected to cause cancer and that is used in many kinds of chemical experiments o Bumetanide - which is a diuretic
Protect yourself Always read the ingredients in anything you choose to take to help you to lose weight naturally. It is best if you speak to your doctor or at least a pharmacist about your choice before you take it, and that you understand what the ingredients are and how they work.
Even ingredients that are labeled as "dietary supplements" or as "herbal" for natural weight loss can be very risky and potentially dangerous. You may also wish to check with the FDA's list before choosing one of these products.
An even better idea is to avoid this type of product altogether and practice Natural Weight Loss by informing yourself with resources such as a free copy of the "Experts Guide to Understanding Weight Loss", which you can obtain from the link below
