Brazilian Diet Pills Fad - Buyer Beware Anyone familiar with the latest diet pills and methods has probably heard of the latest concern (or frenzy) on the weightloss market: Brazilian Diet Pills. Brazilian Diet Pills, specifically certain brands, seem to have been wreaking havoc on people's health around the world. And yet people are still searching for them on the internet in hopes of shedding weight unusually fast. Let's start from the beginning. A Brazilian company began marketing a particular "all natural" diet pill which had recommended dosages of a specific color coded pill to be taken in the morning, and a specific color coded pill to be taken at night. The dosages are varied according to where you are in your weight loss goals, as well as what your individual preferences or health issue are. These diet pills are still marketed as a "Magic Pill". We all know there is no such thing. We want to believe that, which is why this product has seen some interest, but it quite simply is not true - and not without its price. My prediction is, the FDA will get wind of this fairly soon, and put a ban or strict limitations on this product, just as they did with Ephedra. The signs are all around. Women are reporting on forums that people they know have taken the Brazilian Diet Pill and while they have dropped significant amounts of weight in a short period, many people have suffered fainting spells, heart palpitations and even cardiac arrests, presumably linked to the ingestion of this weightloss product. An analysis on the pills has shown trace amounts of illegal amphetamines, as well as prescription antidepressants and even a tranquilizer in the night time pills, to counteract the effects of the speed you've taken during the day in the daytime formula, so that you can actually sleep. The really sad part of this is, the product is marketed as "Blended with Natural Herbs from the Rainforest", when in fact chemical analysis has shown man made and extremely dangerous and volatile substances. Some people do know about the substances in this product, and due to the societal pressure to be thin, have still chosen to purchase and use it, in hopes of quickly slimming down. A word of caution: While this product may in fact help you to quickly shed unwanted excess pounds, it also has a real potential to become addictive, since it contains addictive controlled substances (amphetamines - or speed) which the human body becomes accustomed to, and starts to need more and more of just to sustain the weight loss and appetite loss. My advice is, if you really want to lose weight, and you want to be safe - stay away from these Brazilian Diet products. We are just now beginning to see the harmful and even life threatening effects, and I believe we may even see government agency intervention soon if the reports of extreme side effects keep coming in. If you have taken this product and have experienced negative effects, you may want to contact the FDA or even the Better Business Bureau. On the contrary, if you have taken one of these products and had exceptional results without a wink of side effects, by all means get that information out to the right people as well. A good alternative to this type of fad product is to just go for what you know is safe. There are some EXCELLENT and very safe, non-addictive diet aids (for example safe herbal alternatives to Fen Phen) on the market today that really are 100% natural and really do reduce your appetite and help you lose the weight you need to quickly and effectively. And, you don't put it right back on when you stop the product. That's my opinion, and I'm sticking to it! |
