Who needs cosmetic surgery in the UK when they have a new over the counter diet pill…Appesat goes on sale this week.
Along with the diet pill alli, which absorbs body fat, Appesat tricks the brain into thinking the stomach is full, leading to weight loss of 10lb over three months in trials.appesat1a

With as many as three-quarters of Britons being overweight, both the alli and Appesat pills are likely to be used by millions of failed dieters. Doctors and obesity experts have advised against tablets being used as a ‘quick fix’ for an over weight problem that can also be undertaken by diet and exercise.

Appesat is a seaweed extract which expands in the stomach, curbing appetite. Costing £29.95 for 50 capsules, it is said to carry no worse side-effects than an upset tummy. The active ingredient in Appesat has been developed to be resistant to stomach acid and remain active for many hours. Taken before food, it works by stimulating hunger ‘sensors’ in the stomach wall, which then send a signal to the brain informing it that the stomach is full. Doctors believe that feeling full (satiation) is an essential factor in any diet for successful weight reduction. Because Appesat is active in your stomach before, during and after you eat it significantly increases the number of ‘stomach full’ messages your brain receives – allowing you to feel full for much longer.

What did the clinical trials tell us? The test subjects took a tablet every meal and lost 50% more weight than the ones who relied on willpower alone. With a 10lb average weight loss after six months or one pant size, Appesat allows people to learn healthy eating habits and therefore avoid the yo-yo effect of dieting. Once obtaining your desired result, you can reduce and eventually stop taking Appesat. It is not addicting like prescription diet pills.

If your BMI is over 35, Appesat may not be for you. Cosmetic Surgery UK offers Gastric Band Surgery for those with a BMI over 35, it involves an overnight stay after the one hour laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery. The Gastric Band or Lap Band is placed around the top part of the stomach and restricts how much food the patient can eat before feeling full. Because of this change, the patient is required to go to post-surgery counseling with healthcare professionals such as dieticians and psychologists, which will help them adjust to their new lifestyle changes.

If your BMI is fewer than 35 and the idea of taking a diet pill every day isn’t your cup of tea :) another option to lose weight would be the Non-Surgical Gastric Balloon. With the Non-Surgical Gastric Balloon there is no hospital stay, it only takes 10

minutes to put the balloon in place, requires only a local anesthetic (throat spray) and is easily removed once the patient has loss his/her desired weight and maintained a healthy lifestyle. It is a quick and simple procedure involves the gastric balloon being placed in the stomach though the mouth with the help of an endoscopic camera. Their should be very little pain and only minor discomfort while the balloon is fitted.

How do you calculate your BMI? Your BMI is calculated by dividing your weight in kilograms by your height in metres squared. An example:

Height: 1.70 metres
Weight: 130 kilos

Formula:
Height squared: 1.70 m x 1.70 m = 2.89
Weight divided by height squared: 130/2.89 = BMI 44.9

The result you get is then classified into the following groups:

Recommended BMI Chart
Underweight BMI less than 18.5
Ideal BMI 18.5-25
Overweight BMI 25-30
Obese – should lose weight BMI 30-40
Very obese – lose weight now BMI greater than 40

With all three weight loss plans; Appesat, Gastric Band Surgery or a Non-Surgical Gastric Balloon each require a healthy lifestyle permanently put in place in order to maintain your desired weight. The best way to change your lifestyle is to take baby steps. Gradually reduce your calorie intake, gradually replace fattening foods for healthy ones and above all else, gradually start some kind of exercise (even if it’s using the stairs at work instead of the elevator) program. Physical activity will burn off fat faster than a diet plan alone. Even though you need to take your new healthy lifestyle seriously you, also need to be patient and set realistic goals.
