The problem of excess weight in the last decade has broken all records. Around the world and in our country in particular, the number of people suffering from obesity is increasing. Most of us believe that obesity is a problem of weak will. Meanwhile, this is a real addiction, similar to alcoholic or narcotic. In the brain, the same areas are responsible for the development of a particular dependence. For obese people, the question is always relevant: how to stop zhor?
The article lists pharmacy drugs, as well as small tricks on how to defeat a painful hunger.
List of the most effective appetite tablets
The pharmacological market offers its patients obese patients. But are appetite pills safe and effective as manufacturers are positioning them? Most of these drugs have many contraindications and side effects.
List of the most effective pills that can relieve appetite:
- Reduxin
- Goldline
- "Lindax" and other drugs with sibutramine in the composition;
- "Fluoxetine" and other antidepressants with the active substance fluoxetine.
It does not matter what exactly is in the composition of the drugs - fluoxetine, sibutramine or another active substance. They have one principle of action - to cope with the problem "I always want to eat." Almost all people who are suffering from obesity are not able to defeat the indefatigable appetite and dependence on flavoring and the constant need to chew something with a simple volitional effort.
How to stop zhor and find treasured harmony? Pills that affect the areas of the brain responsible for appetite will help in this matter. People who suffer from obesity almost never dream of anorexic thinness - their goal is to achieve at least that weight that would correspond to a BMI of 22 - 26. If a BMI is above 30, then we are talking about obesity. This is a medical diagnosis that almost always causes irreversible changes in internal organs and a slowdown in metabolism.
Reduxin: a panacea for zhora or mortal danger?
In the pharmacy you can buy both Reduxin and Reduxin Light. The first drug contains sibutramine as the main active ingredient - a substance prohibited by law for free distribution. Therefore, to buy this drug, you will need a prescription from a doctor, otherwise it simply will not be sold in a pharmacy. But the composition of "Reduxine Light" includes plant components. This drug is a kind of marketing move, which helps to increase sales due to a similar name. If zhor attacked, then Reduxin Light is unlikely to help pacify him.
At one time, Reduxin made a real revolution in the pharmacological market. About eight years ago, he broke all sales records. Women bought several packs at once, because the results from taking the drug were amazing: appetite completely disappeared, for a month people got rid of 8 - 12 kilograms.
At the same time, the process of weight loss was not accompanied by a characteristic deterioration in well-being and hunger. On the contrary, taking Reduxine improved mood. For a patient who took the drug daily, was characterized by high performance, excellent mood, vigor, pupils greatly expanded. This set of effects is also characteristic of amphetamine-type drugs.
Side effects of the drug "Reduxin":
- heart rhythm disturbance, tachycardia, arrhythmia;
- jumps in blood pressure;
- dry mouth
- appetite disappears, hunger does not occur;
- liver damage (with a tendency to fatty hepatosis);
- insomnia;
- hyperactivity.
If you take the drug for several months, then irreversible heart failure may develop. Authorities were forced to add the drug to the list of potent substances - now it can only be bought with a doctor’s prescription. Such a prescription can be prescribed only to people who are really suffering from obesity to the extent that the condition can be more dangerous to health than taking Reduxine.
Goldline - Indian drug for increased appetite
The main active ingredient of this drug is the same sibutramine. Accordingly, Goldline is also banned from free sale and has an effect similar to Reduxin. However, the manufacturer went on a trick: not so long ago, the Goldline Plus drug appeared on sale, which includes not only sibutramine, but also microcrystalline cellulose. Therefore, the action remained just as effective. And this version of the drug can be purchased at the pharmacy without a prescription. However, before starting the reception, you should carefully study the instructions. If there are contraindications to taking, it is better not to risk your own health. The consequences may be irreversible.
An increased appetite in a woman disappears from the second or third day of taking the pills. After the first week of admission, according to reviews of people who took it, hunger does not bother at all. Moreover, former gluttons have to literally force themselves to take at least a small portion of porridge or eat fruit.
"Microcrystalline cellulose" from the domestic company "Evalar"
This drug is cheap and harmless. It does not affect the central nervous system or the brain, in contrast to the above drugs. "MCC" (short for microcrystalline cellulose) can be purchased at any pharmacy without a prescription from a doctor. The drug reduces the feeling of hunger, as cellulose swells when it enters the stomach. As a result, hunger becomes much less pronounced, a person simply can not eat large portions, since part of the stomach is already taken.
However, the reviews about the "MCC" are not all positive. Women share their opinion that this drug is just a dummy that acts due to the placebo effect. There are also positive reviews. However, they are left by people who are not obese. If you need to get rid of a few extra pounds, "MCC" may well help.
Antidepressants and appetite: direct dependence
Antidepressants belong to the class of psychotropic substances, they can be purchased only with a prescription from a psychiatrist. It is no secret that serotonin reuptake inhibitors reduce appetite to almost zero, while the patient experiences the following effects while taking it:
- mild euphoria;
- inability to think about sad events and sadness;
- Does not fix his attention on problems;
- restructures his thinking in a positive way;
- normalization of sleep is noted;
- vivid pleasant dreams can be dreamed.
However, do not rush to the pharmacy for antidepressants if zhor has attacked. These are strictly prescription drugs designed to treat anxiety and depressive disorders. If a person suffers from bulimia (an uncontrolled desire to eat as much food as possible), then you should go to a psychiatrist and get a prescription for an antidepressant that is suitable for the symptoms. Self-administration can end in failure: this category of drugs has an impressive list of possible side effects.
"Fluoxetine" and a feeling of constant hunger
One of the most popular ways to stop eating is to start taking this cheap antidepressant. Despite the fact that you can sell it only by prescription, many pharmacists violate this rule. Unlucky people who want to lose weight, without hesitation, begin to take this drug. However, if a person does not have a depressive or anxiety disorder, taking Fluoxetine can be a joke. List of side effects of this drug:
- insomnia;
- tremor;
- hyperactivity, inability to concentrate;
- headache;
- lack of appetite;
- hyperhidrosis;
- increased anxiety.
These side effects are almost always observed in the first weeks of taking the drug. Fluoxetine has a more expensive imported analogue, Prozac, in which the active substance is better purified. Both drugs can be prescribed by a psychiatrist in the right dosage for bulimic disorder. Self-administration almost always ends in failure for the patient, since the drug contributes to many side effects if it is not taken in conjunction with tranquilizing drugs.
How to defeat emotional zhor?
If the main problem is the ingestion of a large amount of food due to an emotional outburst, then you should work on yourself. The best solution is to visit a therapist. Sessions will help to bounce back without antidepressants and other pills. However, often the services of a good psychotherapist are very expensive, in which case the club of anonymous gluttons will come to the rescue.
In Moscow and other large cities, groups of this kind have long been active. There are clubs of anonymous gluttons, clubs of anonymous alcoholics and others. As a rule, attending such group classes is completely free.
The psychological method to forget about hunger
There is a simple and interesting psychological way to stop zhor. The fact is that the human brain cannot simultaneously perform more than two tasks.
To forget about food, just give your brain two tasks at the same time. For example, squat and sing a song or recite a poem. after several minutes of such activity, thoughts of a strong appetite and desire to starve the worm will disappear without a trace.
Physical education and a feeling of intense hunger
Physical education will help get rid of night zhora. Many people complain that sleep does not come to them until they eat tightly. But this is a direct path to obesity. In this case, nutritionists recommend purchasing a gym membership in the evening.
If you are physically tired in the evening, then your thoughts will only be about one thing: to come home as soon as possible and fall asleep. And thoughts about food will fade into the background.
Hunger and carbohydrate intake
Oddly enough, to not want to eat, you need to eat properly. Eating large amounts of carbohydrates inevitably leads to an increase in hunger. Not for nothing, nutritionists advise losing weight to partially or completely switch to protein nutrition.
In order not to pester appetite, try to use exclusively complex carbohydrates with meat, sour-milk products during the day. Forget about sweets and fruits. You will be surprised, but the notorious "zhor" will fade into the background. You can suppress a strong appetite with proper nutrition, and not just with pills.
The importance of water in the fight against appetite
Do not forget that it is important not only a reasonable diet, but also the water regime. A popular tip from nutritionists: if you are hungry, just drink a glass of water. Our brain is designed in such a way that it often confuses the desire to eat and thirst. Therefore, every time you want to eat, drink as much clean water as possible. This is a simple and physiological way to get rid of zhor.
How to stop overeating, if the advice with water does not help, but you could not buy pills? The surest decision is to go to a nutritionist or endocrinologist, take the necessary tests, and then get a prescription for the drug that is best for you.
