Second, laxatives: these drugs are mainly composed of senna leaves or other laxatives. These drugs were originally used as specific drugs for relaxing bowels and constipation. As we all know, people will lose weight after a few days of diarrhea, so some heartless people want to sell this as a diet pill. Actually, I ask you a question: Are you willing to have diarrhea all your life? You certainly don't want to lose weight caused by laxatives, which are almost all water. If you pull it too hard, you may have serious symptoms due to electrolyte imbalance (many people have diarrhea due to Vibrio cholerae, which is due to dehydration and electrolyte imbalance). If you think it's okay to pull it gently, it's all wet. It is not easy to have an accident when pulling lightly, but if you are used to it for a long time, you will be constipated when using it.
2.5. Diuretics: This is said here because its pharmacology and laxatives are completely different, but the principle of giving people the illusion of losing weight is the same. They all cause false weight loss by letting the human body excrete too much water. Diuretics do great harm to the kidneys.
3. Excitative endogenous hormones: represented by thyroxine or triiodothyronine, these hormones are considered to regulate the metabolic function in the human body and enhance metabolism and consumption. It seems that endogenous hormones are harmless and powerful, which will actually disturb your hypothalamic-glandular axis control system. In other words, if you eat hormones indiscriminately, your hormone system will be in a mess.
Exciting exogenous drugs, such as amphetamine-type stimulants, such soft drugs are not mentioned. If you know the harm of drug abuse, you will know its harm.
5. anabolic steroids are generally not added in diet pills, and athletes often use them to improve their physical fitness, but I also heard that some drugs contain these ingredients, which are less harmful in the short term, but are you sure you want to become a beard? I also vaguely heard that someone added Crolente (Clenbuterol) to L-carnitine supplements to enhance the effect. Please curse these people who treat you like a pig.
Hexose absorption inhibitor: this kind of drug is represented by acarbose, which is used to inhibit the enzymes that decompose sugar, so that the human body can reduce absorption and achieve the purpose of losing weight. Off-topic here, some drugs for expelling intestinal parasites have similar principles. Insecticide can block the sugar metabolism of parasites (unlike human metabolism, so people are not affected), and it will starve to death and excrete feces. So, if you don't want to become a parasite as hungry as shit, please don't use this medicine to lose weight.
Lipid absorption inhibitor: This kind, represented by Odistat, has the same function as the previous one, except that it blocks the absorption of fat, which is actually a disguised "chemical fasting". Although there are thousands of disadvantages of fasting to lose weight, at least one can practice willpower, and you use chemical fasting to eliminate this only inconspicuous benefit. Insufficient fat absorption will lead to endocrine problems and insufficient fat-soluble vitamins.
