Vegetables are more beneficial for permanent weight loss than appetite suppressants
Appetite-reducing agents may cause intestinal obstruction if not enough fluids are drunk with them.
Düsseldorf (Germany) - Nutrition expert Angela Clausen warned that some appetite suppressants or treatments that are advertised to suppress appetite or burn fat and lose weight may be harmful, as well as they do not help in permanent weight loss.
A member of the Consumer Consulting Center in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia explained that losing weight through diuretics, for example, although it has a quick effect in losing weight by getting rid of fluids, but in the end it does not mean getting rid of fat, in addition to the substances that reduce appetite. Like glucomannan, it may cause intestinal obstruction, if not enough fluids are drunk with it, and although these treatments make a person feel full, hunger will attack again after the treatment stops, which is known as the yo-yo effect.
The German expert advised reducing reliance on such treatments and replacing them with vegetables and whole grains rich in dietary fiber, which provide the body with important elements for its vital processes, unlike diet shakes through powders, in addition to the fact that many nutritional supplements contain a high percentage of sugar and calories.

The term appetite suppressants is not limited to medicines that are taken to reduce appetite, but can include foods, nutritional supplements and dietary methods that help a person stop feeling hungry, and some methods offer greater effectiveness than others, but pharmaceutical companies used in this field can To claim to provide a huge benefit in stopping appetite, but the desired benefit is not fully known, and some of them have dangerous side effects.
Those wishing to lose weight can use natural appetite suppressants since they do not represent a health risk.
One of the natural appetite suppressants is pear fruit because it is rich in water and fiber. It reduces the craving for sweets and prolongs the feeling of satiety in the intestines, as its digestion is slow.
As well as green tea because it is rich in flavonoids, polyphenols, antioxidants and caffeine, which are substances that stimulate the metabolism and reduce inflammation in the body and help burn fat, and oats because they are rich in fibers that naturally increase the feeling of satiety and improve the intestinal flora, in addition to stimulating the production of the hormone serotonin.
In addition, thermogenic foods such as pepper, cinnamon, and coffee also help increase metabolism and promote fat burning.
