It is so easy, when you wish to lose a couple of unwanted pounds (or kilos) to simply pop an appetite suppressant. These weight-loss supplements can normally be bought in two categories, over the counter without a prescription, or those which are only obtainable on prescription.

Although these appetite suppressants may help you lose weight by suppressing your normal desire to eat, they carry a certain amount of health risks. It is strange that people will look at the contra indications and side effects of prescription drugs when scripted for illness or disease, but will merrily disregard the fine print on the packing slips of appetite suppressants.
The reason for this rationale might be the fact that some people still think that these type of pills or capsules could not be detrimental to your health. The unfortunately truth is that countless people have found out the truth behind this easy way of dieting and weight loss.

From the above, it is very clear that any person taking appetite suppressants should think twice about popping them indiscriminately.
Although it may take more time to lose weight naturally, your health will not be compromised and you will not enter the constant yo-yo effect of losing and gaining weight. When losing weight at a more constant and lesser rate, the body also has more time to adjust to the lighter you, and you will look less haggard and gaunt than your counterparts that went on weight loss sprees and losing too much weight too soon.
It may sound wonderful to lose ten or more pounds a week, but this is far too much unless you are severely overweight. These crash diets can remove the bulk of excess weight, yet very seldom will they help you lose the last couple of unwanted pounds, as the body will fight this unnatural rate of losing body mass.
With this, the last couple of excess kilos, a more moderate weight loss is called for, which unfortunately will call for some sacrifice and work from the person concerned.
We unfortunately live in a society where people do not want to take responsibility for their own actions - where other people and companies are sued for the fact that they cannot control their own obese eating habits.
But in real life, away from the fast-talking advertorials and cheap trick TV ads - promising a perfect body with no effort at all - the truth still remains that you will not have a perfect body unless you are prepared to put work into your body and to watch your diet.
Some herbs can help to curb your appetite, and will do so with less side effects and in a far more natural way. Another helpful folk remedy to lose weight is apple cider vinegar. One teaspoon is taken in half a glass of water 30 minutes before meals and is followed by another half a glass of clear water to remove the vinegar from your teeth, as the vinegar could affect your teeth.
Should you however suffer from a stomach ulcer you will not be able to take the apple cider vinegar on a empty stomach, and will then have to take it after a meal.
To lose weight you will need to curb your food intake, and we also believe that food combinations affects your body mass.
Another exciting ingredient to look at is Hoodia gordonii - from the sub Sahara region of Southern Africa where the Khoi San people used Hoodia as a natural appetite suppressant for centuries.
