more quickly, no phytotherapeutic substances have yet been identified capable of keeping such promises, if not at the expense of more or less serious side effects. All this also applies to synthetic drugs and to those derived - more or less directly - from natural substances. Furthermore, whatever drug or phytotherapeutic therapy is undertaken to lose weight, it cannot in any way be separated from the preventive correction of diet and lifestyle.
Some of the phytotherapeutic categories that are often used improperly to promote weight loss will be briefly listed below.
Before proceeding, however, we remind you how important it is to contact your doctor before taking any type of drug or herbal remedy to lose weight.
Diuretics and Laxatives
This is the category of phytotherapics most improperly used in an attempt to lose weight. The weight loss induced by these natural remedies, in fact, are absolutely "fictitious", because they are linked to phenomena of dehydration and not to a real decrease in adipose mass.
The plants with diuretic and laxative action should be used only and exclusively in cases where it is really necessary to induce a "diuretic action or to counteract states of constipation or constipation and, in any case, should be used only under medical supervision.
Diuretic and laxative herbal remedies, in fact, can cause more or less serious side effects, even more so when used improperly. More specifically, among the side effects, we remember: diarrhea, flatulence, abdominal pain, weakness, fatigue, electrolyte imbalances (hypokalemia), dehydration and - in case of prolonged use - alterations of the intestinal bacterial flora (dysbiosis), melanosis of the colon, osteomalacia and hypotonic colitis (resulting in chronic constipation).
Fat burning, thermogenic and anorectics
Although very often we tend to consider the two terms as synonyms, fat-burning supplements must be distinguished from stimulant-thermogenic. The former, in fact, are able to directly alter the oxidative lipid metabolism, while the thermogenics increase the body's energy expenditure.
Among the stimulating-thermogenic phytotherapeutic remedies we mention: bitter orange (unripe fruit), cocoa, coffee (seeds), capsaicin, guarana (seeds), matè (leaves).
Among the fat burners we remember, however, the Garcinia cambogia, which are also attributed anorectic properties. These effects, however, do not seem to be confirmed as the results obtained from the studies conducted on the subject are contradictory (to learn more: Garcinia cambogia: what is it for?)
also based on any medicines taken at the same time.
Furthermore, we remind you that weight loss can only be achieved when the energy consumed is lower than that introduced. Therefore, it is essential first of all to correct the diet and adopt a healthy lifestyle characterized by regular and constant motor activity. In this sense, contacting specialists in the sector is undoubtedly an excellent choice, both for what concerns the adjustment of the diet and for what concerns the motor activity to be carried out.
In addition to diet and exercise, the specialist or doctor could then advise - if they deem it necessary - the use of remedies and supplements that can assist the weight loss process resulting from the adoption of the right diet and the right degree of motor activity, but they certainly can't induce weight loss on their own.
