Weight loss industry have increased significantly over the years, especially recently and market is offering to potential consumers wide range of slimming products. Dieters can choose large number of names from appetite suppressants, fat burners, herbal diet supplements, slimming teas and other products including fat binder and fat blocker pills.

Let’s look at the fat binder and fat blocker pills and how they work. Both are preventing the absorption of fat by body but each of them does it differently which is described bellow. Eventually your body absorb less fat, less calories and you gain less weight or if you do some extra work you lose it. Sales letters say that you will lose weight even if you use just these products and don’t change anything but for the best results, you’ll have to change your diet a bit and start some light exercise routine. It’s like an aid to boost your weight loss efforts and make them achievable.

Number of brand names is offered but I will focus only on 2 the most popular (in my opinion) of them which are quite popular and have shown some good performance and have gained recognition amongst dieters.

FDA approved fat blocker – Alli. As the name states this is a fat blocker which prevents the absorption of fat by your body which unabsorbed as a waste gets excreted. Orlistat (active ingredient) attaches to enzymes within the digestive system and preventing them the breaking down the fat. In average with Alli you can reduce your fat intake by about 25% which makes your dieting twice more effective than dieting alone. Alli have proven to an effective weight loss product but the downside is its side effects or treatment effects (called by Alli). Especially when instructions are ignored, which include low fat diet, side effects may appear. These may include diarrhoea, bowel movements, urgent need for the toilet.

Proactol fat binder. Also this product prevents absorption of dietary fat but is doing it more civilised causing no side effects. Proactol claims that fat intake can be reduced by up to 28% with no side effects. Main ingredient is cactus-like plant which molecules attach them to the ingested fat forming fat-binder complex which is too large for the body to absorb. Unabsorbed fat then is excreted naturally.

Fat blockers and fat binders reduce the amount of digested fat but fat blockers tend to discipline more with the risks of possible side effects where fat binders are more forgiving and your weight loss success depends more on yourself.
