Two Alternative Weight Loss Formulations
Two Alternative Weight Loss Formulations Mar 7, 2006 - Linknet Health News - Here are two alternative weight loss methods. Both involve taking a medication or treatment orally. The first (Xenical) is a prescription medicine. The second, a collagen weight loss formulation is a non-prescription treatment.== Xenical Weight Loss Prescription == Xenical blocks fat, leads to weight loss Xenical is an oral prescription medication that helps the body eliminate unwanted fat. Xenical works by blocking up to 33% of the fat in the food you eat. As a result, this encourages your body's own fat centers to become activated. So rather than adding to those fat centers, your body draws from them when it needs energy. This leads to healthy weight loss over time. Clinical studies have shown that over a 1-year trial, when Xenical is used along with a low calorie diet and moderate exercise, there is a greater weight loss in users than in those who did not use Xenical. The average weight loss for non users relying on just diet and exercise was approximately 6 lbs. Those who used Xenical to boost their weight loss program lost more than twice as much weight -- approximately 13.5 lbs. Because Xenical is a prescription medication you must always consult a doctor to make sure it is appropriate for you. Xenical may decrease your body's absorption of some fat-soluble vitamins. When taking Xenical, your doctor may recommend also taking a multivitamin that contains vitamins D, E, K, and beta-carotene. Take your vitamin supplement once a day, at least 2 hours before or after taking Xenical. Do not take more than the prescribed amount of this medication, since doses greater than 120 mg three times a day have not been shown to provide any additional weight-loss benefit. Collagen treatment - lose weight while you sleep A collagen weight loss treatment takes a very different approach to weight loss. It builds on the fact that our bodies use sleep to repair and strengthen our muscles, joints and other parts that get tired and damaged through use and exertion during waking hours. This restorative process uses energy to rebuild lean muscle mass and to help rebuild other kinds of body tissue. If the rebuilding process is running smoothly and efficiently, that energy comes from places in our body where energy is stored -- from fat. In other words, the body rebuilds tissue, organs, bone, and lean muscle by burning fat. A collagen treatment builds on three facts about this process. First, it contains amino acids that help the restorative process. Second, it contains collagent to help in the rebuilding of cartilege, and connective tissue in the body. As we age, our bodies are less able to produce the collagen required to restore the bodies youthful appearance and function. Third, the treatment encourages not eating for at least three hours before sleeping, so that none of the energy used during sleep will be consumed digesting food. That way the restorative process is maximized, along with the most efficient use of energy specifically for that purpose. For sources of these two weight loss programs, see the links below.
