Weight Loss Tablets - 3 Advantages and Disadvantages

Before there was such a thing as liposuction, weight loss pills used to be the craze. They helped lose weight and were easy to unlike actually exercise. However, there is now argument as to whether these small pills cause more trouble than they are meant to. In this article I will describe the advantages and disadvantages of using weight loss pills.

Advantages

• They're painless. Unlike exercising weight loss pills don't cause as much pain as exercising. All you have to do is pop one in your mouth and you're done, you don't have to build up a sweat like in exercise.
• They don't consume time. If you work 9-5 you will know that going to the gym or exercising on a regular period can be a problem. Some days you don't have time to go to the gym and you end up storing the calories instead of burning them. With weight loss pills, they don't take as much time as going to the gym do they? It takes about 5 seconds to have one.
• You can't injure yourself. Going to the gym or doing any exercise can have a risk of an injury and that injury would put you out of exercise, which means you will start putting on weight while recovering. With weight loss pills injury risk is at a minimal, you can't get hurt putting on in your mouth (unless you bite your tongue, but I'm sure that you could continue from that injury).
So far the weight loss pills look like they are the option right? Well don't make up your mind yet, it's time for the disadvantages.

Disadvantages

• They stimulate water loss. This means for every pill you take you lose a certain amount of water. This is not advisable as you will start getting dehydrated and also with the water loss, you will lose potassium which will start making you feel weak.
• They help you lose your appetite. By not eating as much you risk having health problems and soon your muscles will start feeling weaker and you will have a higher blood pressure.
• You can become addicted. Having pill after pill can get you addicted. This can cause severe health problems including diarrhea and insomnia

Almost every weight loss pill contains the same ingredients and they all have the same disadvantages with them. Weight loss pills are a quick fix for weight loss, but they are not the healthiest way to go about it.
