How to Choose a
Diet Pill That Works

Finding a diet pill that works is often difficult for several reasons. Firstly, it is hard to know what characteristics you should look for in a thermogenic fat burner, how you should use them for best results and what results you should expect.

In this article we will cover each of these areas so you can make an informed decision about how to select the ultimate fat burner for you, how to use it for best results and also what results you should expect when you take a thermogenic fat burner.

Characteristics of a diet pill that works

Contains herbal ingredients only
The first criteria you should look for in a diet pill that works is that it only contains herbal ingredients. There are some diet pills on the market that contain pharmaceutical ingredients rather than natural, herbal ingredients.

This means they are far more likely to have unwanted side effects compared to the herbal form. This isn't to say that the herbal forms are free of side effects, not at all, it simply means that the side effects from pharmaceuticals tend to be more noticeable and unpleasant. Therefore, the herbal forms of thermogenic fat burners are the preferred option.

Contains a 'balanced' range of ingredients in therapeutic dosages
Many of the thermogenic fat burners on the market contain a range of ingredients but with unbalanced levels of ingredients. What this means is that there is generally one or two ingredients (the cheapest ingredients) that tend to take up most of the available space in the capsule with token dosages of the remaining ingredients.

This makes it a cheap product for supplement companies to make, it still provides some benefit to consumers, even if they are somewhat limited, and with clever marketing the manufacturers can make the product appear far more effective than it is.

Furthermore, with an unbalanced range of ingredients, the product becomes less effective in a short period of time because the body builds up a tolerance to the dominant ingredients in a relatively short period of time.

A diet pill that works contains a more 'balanced' thermogenic profile, whereby each ingredient is provided in a therapeutic dosage that has proven to be effective in scientific studies.

Even though the product may be more expensive for the manufacturer, consumers can be certain that they are using an effective thermogenic fat burner, which will provide them with the maximum possible benefits. A good example of an ultimate fat burner is, XLR8 Thermogenic. It contains therapeutic levels of all ingredients. Whilst it may not contain a massive range of ingredients compared to some thermogenic fat burners on the market, you can rest assured that the levels of each ingredient it contains are in therapeutic dosages. This ensures you get the best possible results and that your body doesn't become de-sensitised to the ingredients in a short period of time.

XLR8 Thermogenic contains the maximum amount of synephrine (a.k.a. oxedrine) that is permitted by the TGA (Therapeutic Goods Administration) here in Australia. Synephrine is a very powerful but expensive ingredient and most so-called thermogenic fat burners on the market either don't have it at all or if they do have it, they use dosages that are so low that they are not likely to be effective at all!

Uses the most effective ingredients
When selecting a diet pill that works it is absolutely essential that you only use a product that contains the most effective ingredients. Whilst it is almost impossible to be able to know whether or not a thermogenic fat burner contains the most effective ingredients unless you have a degree in chemistry, there are some ingredients you should look for. An ultimate fat burner should contain a combination of some of the following ingredients. Remember of course, that there is only a limited amount of space in a single capsule so it is impossible to put all of them in there in therapeutic dosages.

Here are the ingredients you should look for: herbal caffeine sources (guarana, coffee arabica, etc.), green tea, citrus aurantium (synephrine), coleus forskholii, evodia rutaecarpa, and theobroma.

Supports good health
When selecting a diet pill that works it is imperative that you choose one that supports good health. Since a thermogenic fat burner is designed to speed up your metabolism, give you an energy boost and also force the fat cells to release stored fat into the blood stream (which may then be used by the body as a fuel source), one of the mechanisms through which it does this is by stimulating the adrenal glands to increase their production of the catecholamines (epinephrine and nor-epinephrine).

Unfortunately, over time, continued use of thermogenics may lead to adrenal fatigue or adrenal exhaustion, which may cause a range of health problems.

Accordingly, a safe diet pill should always contain ingredients to help nourish and support adrenal function in conjunction with the thermogenic ingredients. The ingredients that help support adrenal function are known as, 'adaptogens', and include herbs like, Rhodiola and Withania.

Therefore, a safe diet pill must contain therapeutic dosages of these herbs.

How to use a diet pill that works for best results

A diet pill that works should only have to be taken once or at most, twice a day. Preferably once in the morning and once in the early afternoon. It is best not to take them later than 4pm otherwise they make keep you awake at night.

Also, it is important that you only have to take 1 capsule at a time. It should not be necessary to take handfuls of pills or capsules in order to get best results. having to do so means that the manufacturers want you to finish the tub off faster so you have to buy another one or the ingredients are not effective enough in order to get the results you want in 1-2 capsules a day!

What results should you expect
from a diet pill that works

Some people's expectations about what can be achieved by using a diet pill that works are sometimes unrealistic.

The fact is that weight loss is actually a slow and deliberate process that the body fights all the way. However, achieving a weight loss of 0.5-1kg (1-2lbs approx.) is a realistic goal to aim for, if you are combining its use with a suitable nutritional plan and exercise program.

This is an important point too. The use of thermogenic fat burners should always be in conjunction with a good nutrition and exercise plan. Let's face it, without the combination, if you simply take a thermogenic but continue to eat pizza and drink beer, you won't get results!

Therefore, the combination of using a diet pill that works in conjunction with diet and exercise is the best way to lose weight fast!
