How Do They Work?
Not all diet pills work the same. Some of these pills contain laxatives, while others contain stimulants that cause the body to burn calories more than usual1. There are also pills that suppress a person’s appetite, and thus makes them eat less.
Based on these descriptions, you might have noticed that fat burning pills don’t really burn fat. These pills mostly rely on various methods in order for a person to lose weight. The problem is that they’re not always effective, nor are they sustainable.
Are Fat Burning Pills Effective?
In the case of pills that contain laxatives, they do help lower a person’s weight. However, take note that it only reduces water weight, so there’s no fat-burning going on2. And since it’s a laxative, taking these pills can be very inconvenient. In rare cases, these pills can even cause dehydration if a person develops diarrhea or constantly goes to the bathroom.
Fat burning pills that increase metabolism can help with weight loss since they help burn calories. The effects of these only last while you’re taking the pill though. These stimulant pills also carry an increased risk of heart problems since these stimulants can increase heart rate. This can be very dangerous, especially for persons who already have existing heart conditions.
