Diet Tablets

Reviews of the best diet tablets

This guide has been written for UK dieters who are looking for advice on choosing diet tablets, and want a safe and clinically proven product to help them lose weight.

At present there are estimated to be over 1,000 different diet tablets in the UK alone, all of which promise fast weight loss. Around 95% of diet tablets available have no clinical backing at all, with the supplement industry heavily relying on celebrity endorsements or marketing campaigns.

In fact there are only a handful of diet tablets which have full clinical backing, a low instance of side effects, and a money back guarantee in case you are unsatisfied with the results.

It's hardly any surprise that the three we have selected are all available without prescription, and contain only natural ingredients. Although not quite as potent as certain prescription only medications, they don't cause long term health implications and all are free from any nasty side effects.

So without further ado, let's look at our top three diet tablets in order of effectiveness and popularity;

1. Top rated diet tablet - Proactol Fat Binder

Proactol first hit the UK headlines back in December 2006. The Daily Express featured the story of twenty-six year old Laura Price, who had incredibly dropped 6 dress sizes whilst following a healthy diet and supplementing with this new natural fat binder.

Proactol works by removing 28% of fat from daily meals and is simply taken after eating. Made from natural plant extracts, namely prickly pear extract, Proactol is clinically proven to help you lose weight with little to no change to your existing diet. However, outstanding results have been reported when combined with a sensible diet and exercise.

In fact the makers behind Proactol, based in Nottinghamshire UK, actually provide a healthy eating and fitness program which can be followed easily at home, and is available with the 4+ box package.

Expect to lose around 2-4lbs per week.

2. Runner up best diet tablet - UniqueHoodia

Hoodia Gordonii is a cactus which originates on the plains of the Kalahari Desert in South Africa. Extract taken from the root of this plant has long been used by the indigenous tribes people of the Kalahari to suppress hunger while on long hunting trips. Hoodia has been the focus of a number of studies by pharmaceutical giants such as Pfizer, and has proved a potent appetite suppressant.

As Hoodia Gordonii is extremely hard to grow and expensive to cultivate, the race has been on to produce a synthetic version of the active molecule known as P57. The first synthetic Hoodia tablet will be due for release early 2011 after phase 3 trials have been completed.

However for those who can not wait until 2011 for a mass produced Hoodia diet tablet, the alternative is simply to supplement with genuine pure Hoodia extract. There are a number of UK importers who supply genuine steam dried Hoodia extract, which has been biologically screened and certified 100% pure. UniqueHoodia is one such company and offer a 6 month guarantee if you are not completely satisfied.

Expect to lose around 1-3 lbs per week. Read more here - Hoodia

3. Best priced diet tablet - Zotrim

Zotrim has been gaining popularity ever since it's release, and has had a number of TV appearances, most notably Professor Regan's Diet Proagramme on BBC2, where Zotrim received massive praise and was suitably crowned best natural diet tablet.

Made from just three herbal ingredients, Zotrim is a dual action tablet, and works to both boost metabolism and suppress appetite.

Costing from as little as £11.96 a month for a clinically proven diet tablet, this one is hard to ignore!

Expect to lose around 1-2lbs per week. Learn more - Zotrim website
