Weight Loss Supplements - What is the Truth?

Truth About XLS Medical: Reviews, Ingredients And Side Effects

A new product that is getting popular is called XLS Medical. It enables its user to increase up to three times the regular weight loss accomplished from dieting alone while maintaining its natural origin. What is more, it has been proven effective in clinical testing as well. The usual dosage is three pills that are taken twice each day.
It is crucial to follow dosing instructions properly and to never take more than six pills in a 24-hour period. To get the best results, the user must maintain a healthy diet and watch food intake and be sure to eat well balanced meals. Decreasing caloric intake is also extremely beneficial for your fat loss efforts.

How Does it Help You Lose Fat?

XLS Medical Package
It is a weight loss tablet that is made from all natural substances. Due to this fact it does not interfere with the natural processes of yours body. These weight loss pills work best in conjunction with healthy dieting as this combination leads to better and faster effects. They enable the dieter to satisfy their hunger while shedding pounds with the product’s perfectly balanced dieting plan that provides for three meals a day.
How Does it Help You Lose Fat?

It works as a fat binder. That means it binds fat molecules from the food you consume and then prevents their absorption by your body. By not absorbing the fat, your body will not store those additional calories and hence you will not gain weight. It is that simple.
This product worked for me! I stuck by the instructions! And the dosage ! I have now managed to loose half a stone ! I would recommend this product – Amazon.co.uk
Storage of fat from your food is one of the leading causes of weight gain so the fat binder works against that problem. However, using this product does not give you the right to go out and consume as much fat as you want. Instead, you should consume a healthy diet as this will also assist with your fat loss efforts and help you get back on the track to living healthy life.
In other words the pill interacts with the fat to form a fat fiber complex that is too large to make its way through the small intestine’s wall. It is then eliminated from your body naturally through excrement. However, you have to drink adequate amounts of water to prevent constipation.
Ingredients

If you are considering this pill, odds are you want to know what it contains:
  • Litramine: This substance plays main role of this product. It is clinically proven that litramine binds to dietary fats without harmful side effects on your body. More on it here: Litramine.com
  • Vitamin A, D & E: These are other crucial substances included within these pills.
  • Cactus Leaves: This product is actually derived from cactus leaves, which are known to be gentle on body systems and which have been proven as effective help with fat loss.
Side Effects Of This Weight Loss Product


If you want to get this pill, you need to know if there are any side effects related to this pill. According to the manufacturer, since it is from an organic plant source, it is natural and usually well tolerated by the body.
XLS Medical Side Effects
Because it contains a fat binder, it is categorized such as Medical Device Class IIb, which ensures that it has gone through the proper efficacy and safety testing. What is more, it can be purchased over the counter and does not require a prescription.
  • Constipation: Because it does contain significant amounts of fiber, some users could suffer from constipation if enough water is not consumed.
  • Stomach Pain/Flatulence: There have been a few very rare cases of flatulence or stomach pain reported. Because it is an all natural made, it should be gentle on yours digestive tract. Therefore, another positive aspect of use of the product is that it should not cause irritation to the digestive system and it should not result in allergic reactions, such as rashes or itching.
Proper Dosage And Use

The recommendation is to never exceed more than six pills per day. In addition, the Medical Device Directive suggests a rest period when you will not use this medication that lasts three to five days after every 30 days of consumption.
In addition, it should not be used by anyone younger than 18. Anyone younger than that who needs to lose some pounds should see a professional. Also the product should not be used by anyone who has a body mass index (BMI) that is lower than 18.

Getting The Best Results



According to users and the manufacturer, there are three simple steps to follow to ensure you will experience the best results possible.
  1. ExercisingDosing: Follow dosing instructions and take six tablets each day. Some recommend taking three tablets twice each day, once in the morning and the other one in the evening. Others recommend taking two tablets with each meal for a total of three times per day. Whichever you choose, do not exceed six tablets per day.
  2. Lifestyle: The next step is to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle. This means to eat the right foods and ensure that your body gets all nutrients it needs. What is more, everyone should have an exercise program in place that fits their needs, abilities, and health. Although it is proven to be effective, you have to keep in mind that it is not a miracle pill and it does not work without maintaining physical activity and good eating habits.
  3. Water: And, last but not least, make sure that you consume an adequate amount of water each day. Because of the high fiber content in the tablets, one can easily become constipated. Water consumption prevents constipation and helps keep the body systems operating smoothly.

 
How Much Does It Cost?

If you are considering to lose weight with this diet pill you probably are interested in learning more about its cost. Surprisingly, this product is actually quite affordable. Sold in boxes of 180 tablets, the price average is around 35 British pounds per box. That breaks down to 18 or 19 cents per tablet. So for a day’s dose of six pills, the cost would be between a dollar and a dollar and a half. That is not so bad.

Muscles Burn More Calories Than FAT!

Does muscle burn that many more calories than fat?

I know muscle burns more calories than fat, but is it really enough to make a difference? The Editors Santa Fe, New Mexico

 

 

Absolutely! The basic principle here is that, since lean mass (muscle and bone) requires more energy to maintain than fat, resting energy expenditure is going to be higher with greater lean mass. If you take two men of equal weight, but one has a higher ratio of lean body mass to fat mass, he will burn more calories at rest than his chubbier counterpart. In terms of numbers, this works out to about 13 kcals/kg per day for muscle and 5 kcals/kg per day for fat. It is accepted that 80 percent of the difference in energy expenditure is explained by body composition. The remainder is most likely determined by genetics, age and gender.

To keep focused on the question at hand, let's look at two studies that address the main ways people try to change their body composition: diet and exercise.

A study at Tufts University in 1994 found that men and women who participated in a resistance-training (strength-building) program gained lean mass (duh!) and subsequently burned more calories at rest, regardless of how many calories they had burned during exercise. Interestingly, however, in a 1997 study at Columbia University, subjects were placed on a diet and randomly assigned to either a resistance-training or aerobic program and tracked throughout. The results found no significant differences in resting energy expenditure between the two groups. Why did one study show a metabolic boost with increased lean-body mass, while the other didn't? One possible explanation is that when caloric intake is reduced—as is the case with diets—the resulting slowdown of the body's metabolism overrides the boost that lean mass might provide. It is important, of course, to keep in mind that these studies had different experimental conditions.

My take: Resistance training increases lean mass, which results in more calories burned throughout the day; aerobic exercise burns more calories during a workout than resistance training; and the benefits of both are too important to ignore.

The Dangers of Deep Belly Fat

By Chris Woolston, M.S.
Fat can show up in all sorts of places. It can strain the seat of a pair of jeans, hang over a belt, or make a wedding ring nearly impossible to remove. In these thin-conscious times, many people worry about every extra ripple and bulge, no matter where it shows up. Doctors, however, see things differently. When it comes to your health, there's one place where fat is especially dangerous.
Fat around the midsection is a strong risk factor for heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and even some types of cancers, says Samuel Klein, MD, the director of the Center for Human Nutrition at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri.
Despite many years of studies -- and an overabundance of potential study volunteers -- experts aren't exactly sure why people with large midsections are such frequent targets for disease. They do know that fat cells actually regulate metabolic functions, and many experts believe fat cells in the belly release especially large amounts of fatty acids, which can wreak havoc on a person's blood sugar and insulin metabolism.

Metabolism meltdown
One thing's certain: people with large bellies and deep (visceral) fat tend to lose sensitivity to insulin, a crucial hormone that helps the body burn energy. When insulin loses its power, the body responds by pumping out more of the hormone, which only throws the system further off balance.
As a result, people with extra belly fat are vulnerable to a whole cascade of problems known as insulin resistance syndrome or metabolic syndrome. The syndrome -- which is estimated to affect over 50 million Americans -- comes with a frightening array of potential complications. For one thing, people with insulin resistance often develop type 2 diabetes. They also tend to have high blood pressure and too much bad cholesterol, a recipe for heart disease, according to numerous studies.
Don't start worrying, though, if you only have "love handles" -- those are composed of fat near the surface of the skin. It's the visceral fat that wraps around organs deeper in the abdomen that appears to be metabolically active.
The tale of the tape
It's not hard to find out if you have a potentially unhealthy amount of belly fat. All you need is a tape measure. Exhale, relax, and wrap the measure around your stomach. The bottom of the tape should be exactly even with the top of your hip bone. Keep the tape straight and snug, but don't let it dig into your skin. If you're a man, a waist circumference of more than 40 inches means you are at a higher risk for heart and other diseases. Women with a waist circumference of over 35 inches are at increased risk.
According to a report in the British Medical Journal, the size of your waist may say more about your health than other common measures of obesity, including body mass index (BMI) or waist-to-hip ratio. For most people, however, the scale really does tell the story. "Almost everyone with a BMI over 30 [the standard definition of obesity] also has a large waist circumference," Klein says. The small number of people with healthy BMIs and large waists still seem to be targets for health problems, he says, a testament to the dangers of belly fat.
Apples and pears
In general, your body shape is a reflection of both your genes and your lifestyle. Different people put on fat in different places. Some people just naturally carry weight in their midsections (an apple shape) while others are more bottom-heavy (a pear shape).
Young women often gain weight on their legs and bottoms, while men are more likely to pack it on their bellies. This may be one reason why men in their 30s and 40s are much more likely than women of the same age to suffer from heart disease. Once women reach menopause, they tend to start spreading out in the middle. Perhaps not coincidentally, this is also the time when their risk of heart disease catches up with men's.
Whatever your age or gender, a life of TV and fast food can go right to your belly. A study by researchers at Duke University suggests that shunning exercise is an especially effective way to put on belly fat. The study, published in the Journal of Applied Physiology, found that just eight months of inactivity increased visceral fat -- the potentially dangerous layer of belly fat -- by about 9 percent. On the bright side, people who exercised vigorously for eight months actually reduced their visceral fat by about 8 percent.
A sedentary lifestyle may not be the only path to a large belly. There's growing evidence that continued stress -- such as dissatisfaction that comes from a high-pressure, low-paying job -- can encourage the buildup of fat around the midsection. When under stress, the body produces hormones such as cortisol that put your entire body on high alert. Among other things, the hormones seem to encourage the buildup of belly fat. In fact, some experts believe that a potbelly might be the body's defense mechanism against stress. Fat cells may actually break down cortisol, giving the rest of the body a slight respite from stress.
No quick fix
A bulge in the belly is a wake-up call. If you can trim down your midsection, you'll go a long way toward preventing the health problems associated with belly fat. A healthy lifestyle can ward off fat from top to bottom, and especially, the middle. When you lose weight, your body will make getting rid of belly fat a top priority. If you manage to lose just 5 to 10 percent of your overall body weight, you can reduce the hazardous layer of belly fat by as much as 30 percent. If stress is a factor in your buildup of fat, incorporating some relaxation techniques may be useful as well.
Unfortunately, if you're concerned about the amount of fat you have around the middle, you won't find peace of mind in a cosmetic surgeon's office. In a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, Klein and colleagues dashed any hopes of a quick fix. The study found that women who had about 30 percent of their body fat suctioned off didn't move any closer to avoiding diabetes or heart disease. Specifically, the procedure didn't lower blood pressure or improve their response to insulin. "We removed billions of fat cells, but we didn't change the size of the fat cells that remained," he says. It's possible, he adds, that it's the size of fat cells -- not their sheer number -- that really has an impact on health.
If you're ready to banish your excess belly fat, schedule an appointment with your doctor. The two of you can come up with the best, healthiest strategy for weight loss. The most successful approaches typically combine a healthy, low-calorie diet that's also low in saturated fat and sugar with regular exercise. As the Duke University study showed, exercise alone can be enough to trim stomach fat.
A perfectly flat stomach may not be within your reach, but a healthier body certainly is.
