A fat binder or fat plug is a cactus extract food supplement that binds some of the fat in your meals, so you won’t have to burn excess calories from fat after eating your daily meals. When you work, it can be hard to control what you eat or get enough exercise. The availability of fat binders makes possible a new, sensible and much easier solution to managing your weight.
Currently, there are 5 main food supplements available without a prescription.
Proactol contains a 100% natural ingredient Opuntia ficus-indica, also known as prickly pear extract or Indian fig made from cactus.
LipoBind contains litramine, which is a fiber complex made primarily from Opuntia ficus-indica.
Alli is made with Orlistat, the active ingredient used in the prescription drug Xenical.
Liposinol containing Lithramine and Circadian.
XLS Medical containing litramine and vitamins A, D and E.
The main active ingredient, Opuntia ficus-indica, is a natural fiber complex extracted from a cactus known as the prickly pear or Indian fig, which binds to fat intake and removes it from your body. The fiber complex is broken down into soluble and insoluble fibers. Soluble fibers form a thick, sticky, viscous substance that is between liquid and solid in consistency. Insoluble fiber combines with some of the fat from food in the stomach and quickly binds to form a fluid gel. This causes the fats to become gelatinous, making it difficult for your body to absorb them, and as a result, they are naturally eliminated from your body.
When these complexes meet, they form a very sticky solution that helps to gradually slow down digestion within the body. A ripple effect slows the absorption of glucose into the bloodstream, helps regulate blood lipid levels, and lowers cholesterol levels by up to 10%, which may help reduce cardiovascular risk. Your stomach finds this solution much harder to digest, causing it to remain in your stomach beyond the normal duration of a normal meal. The result is that you can feel fuller for much longer, which helps reduce your food cravings.
Fat binders are even good for vegetarians, because none of the ingredients have been derived from animals or animal products. Under the supervision of a physician, for any adult over the age of 18 who wishes to participate in a weight loss program, these products may help with weight loss.
Side effects.
The most common side effects are gas or bloating and a slight change in bowel habits. Side effects can be minimized by controlling or reducing the amount of fat in your diet, drinking plenty of water, and following the recommended dosage instructions.
Warnings.
Do not exceed recommended intake. Consult your doctor before beginning any type of weight loss program. Especially if you have a medical problem such as diabetes, epilepsy, hyperthyroidism, pregnancy, lactation or if you are taking any medication.
The best way to reduce the fat that is being absorbed by your body is to reduce the amount of fat in your diet. Clinical studies have shown that using a fat burner with a healthy balanced diet, calorie control, and exercise can help you lose weight.
