There are people who try using laxatives and other diuretics for the purpose of losing excess weight, but this just doesn't work because these pills only help to drain excess fluid from your body, and that's only a temporary loss of water weight on the scale. Using laxatives or diuretics is not the solution to serious weight loss, it doesn't result in any real loss of weight other than merely a loss of water weight, and that's all. There are many popular fat burning products and pills such as Phentermine, Meridia, Xenical, Adipex, Bontril, and Ionamin (as well as others such as Chromium Picolinate and Chitosan). Some of these are prescription pills and some are over the counter, some of these diet pills work effectively and some do not. Therefore it's important to choose the correct product for weight management since there are many different options and alternatives. There are also various forms of weight loss surgery to get rid of excess fat tissue and cellulite, one of these forms of surgery is called liposuction (lipo surgery). We don't recommend using any form of surgery to get rid of cellulite or excess fat tissue, instead it is simply healthier to lose the excess weight naturally via a smart eating program. We do not recommend liposuction, because lipo surgery is not a healthy way to lose the weight.

FDA-Approved Medications for Treating Obesity : Weight-loss medications may be recommended for patients who are at increased medical risk because of their obesity. Most research-based and professional associations recommend lifestyle therapy for at least six months before embarking on a weight-loss plan using physician-prescribed drug therapy. Even then, it must be used only as part of a comprehensive weight loss program that includes dietary therapy and physical activity. Currently available prescription medications include: Phentermine (Adipex, Fastin, Ionamin, Oby-trim) Diethylpropion (Tenuate, Tenuate dospan, Tepanil) Mazindol (Sanorex, Mazanor) Phendimetrazine (Adipost, Bontril, Plegine, Prelu-2, X-Trozine) Benzphetamine (Didrex) Sibutramine (Meridia) Orlistat (Xenical) Most of these appetite-suppressants have been approved for short-term use, meaning a few weeks or months. Sibutramine and orlistat are the only weight-loss medications approved for longer-term use in significantly obese patients, although the safety and effectiveness have not been established for use beyond one year. Most of these drugs decrease appetite by affecting levels of the brain neurotransmitters catecholamine, serotonin and/or noradrenaline -- brain chemicals that affect mood and appetite. Orlistat (Xenical) does not act directly on the central nervous system but inhibits an enzyme essential to fat digestion. In general, these medications are modestly effective, leading to an average weight loss of five to 22 pounds above that expected with non-drug obesity treatments.
