I starting a diet and read somewhere that they can help weight loss.
Answer:
Diuretics will only help you lose weight if, for some reason, you are actually retaining fluid and if this is so, you could ask the GP for advice, rather than buying tablets, which you may not need. The most effective and most healthy method of discouraging water retention is to drink more water - a glass every hour, if you can manage it. It encourages your kidneys to function more efficiently, and this will clear your system of excess fluid. It also hydrates the body and, as a bonus, you will have improved skin condition - softer and clearer.
they work but you are only losing fluid not fat. Aquaban is good or water balance.
No they won't help at all, which erudite medical journal did you find this, Woman's Own? If something makes you pee more, guess what you get thirsty and drink more!However without wishing to seem impolite Type ' weight loss ' into the search for questions box and you will see the answers to the 20 questions like yours that clutter ' Answers ' every day, together with their standard answers.
Type in 鈥楢nswers swamped with weight loss questions!?鈥?to see what regular contributors think.I will cut and paste my stock answer, however it is interesting to see how close this is ( I have been using it for over 2 months), to a recent paper from University of California. They did a meta-analysis of all the work on weight loss over the past few years. ( summary) It showed that 2/3 of people who diet yo-yo to a higher weight, none of the faddy diets of diet pills work and that rapid weight loss doubles heart attack risk!They seemed to suggest the only hope was modest calorie reduction + EXERCISE.This is a news report of the article:
http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/health/...I have to admit I have a 'stock' answer for this question, since if you look it appears 20-30 times every day!Type 'guaranteed weight loss' into google, you will find 1 1/2 million sites!Look around you if ANY of these things worked would we be getting so overweight?We are what we eat, but we are at least as much what we don't do. Calorie intakes in 1900 and 1950 were higher than they are now, we just don't use them up!Eat a balanced diet with plenty of fruit and veg.Take a healthy amount of exercise 30-40 minutes of vigorous exercise per day 4-5 days a week. I hate to think what percentage of the UK population does that 2%? 5%?I have seen hundreds of questions with this same pattern :- I am fat, tell me where on line I can get this super diet or herbal/dangerous/illegal drug that I hear will fix it for me in 10 minutes without the need for me to get off the couch!No fixes pal , less in more out, its the only way.
