Products that cut your hunger, diuretics, and supplements: in their attempt to loose weight, many women consume this kind of weight loss pills without consulting a doctor and without knowing that they prove themselves to some risks, which may be even deathly.

Here is the black list of weight loss products that must be avoided!

1. Products based on Aristolochia Fangchi: hundreds of serious cases!

As they are natural, we tend to believe that plants can’t be dangerous. It is a wrong attitude, which can lead to death. As the result of the consumption of Chinese plants, two women dies in France in 2000 and 2001 and 100 cases of renal failure were diagnosed in Belgium. This plant is very toxic for kidneys, being forbidden in many states. The plight is that nobody can stop the sale on the Internet…

2. Best Life, Sibutral: pills that can extinguish!

In 2008, a woman died because of Best Life pills. Both brands contain sibutramin, a molecule that cause the weight loss, but also increase the blood pressure, leading to tachycardia, headaches, and palpitations. In Italy, these products are prohibited after 2 deaths in 2002. The substance is also found in the Venom Hyperdrive 3.0.

3. Attention to diuretics!

As they favor the elimination of water from the body, the diuretics are considered effective in the fight with the extra weight. In fact, they have no effect on burning fats and can lead to lacks of nutrients, especially potassium (affecting the heart rhythm). They also affect negatively the renal function and may be responsible for renal failure. Always ask your doctor!

4. Spruce Slim: amphetamine that reduces the hunger

Anorex, Super Slim, Moderatan, Dinintel, Fenproporex Deglaudel, Incital are all amphetamine products that reduce the hunger, forbidden in many countries. However, the substance is found in weight loss products sold on the Internet, under various names: amfepramona, clobenzorex, fenproporex and mefenorex. Why are they dangerous? They lead to outmoded pulmonary hypertension, serious cardiovascular effects and risk of addiction and abuse.

5. Ephedra: totally forbidden!

“Thermal Power”: Doesn’t this name tell you anything? This weight loss product, which is sold illegal on the Internet, contains ephedrine (substance extracted from the ephedrine plant), which produces serious cardiac disorders (increasing blood pressure and blood flow), being sometimes deathly. Ephedra or Ma Huang represents the same plant under different names. Read carefully the labels of the products!

6. Alli and Xenical: side effects

Orlistat: a name that probably does not tell you anything; and yet, it is about the molecule contained by Alli and Xenical, used against obesity. This substance reduces the absorption of fat into the body, leading to diarrhea, diminishing the absorption of soluble substances such as the vitamin A, D, E, and K and increasing the lack of nutrients.

7. Thyroid extracts: forget about them!

In 2006, 15 persons who have consumed weight loss pills based on thyroid extracts have been hospitalized in Paris. One of them died. Today, thyroid extracts are banned in France. They are for sale on the Internet, but the cardiac risk is high. The thyroid hormones permanently keep the pulse at 110 – 120, and not at 70-80, as it is normal.

8. Food supplements: too little controlled

Food supplements (vitamins, minerals) are not drugs, which means that they are too little controlled by experts. Nobody says you not to take them, but you must rob them with moderation, buying the expensive ones, because this time the price is even a guarantor of quality.

9. Acomplia: the risk of depression
