Cheap Carbohydrates - A Real EnemyIn the 1970's America saw the fast rise of industrialized farming techniques which made grains a very cheap commodity. It used to be said that "bread is the staff of life", not anymore. When these cheap unrefined grains are eaten far too much as they are in America and now other parts of the world, they can actually shorten our lifespan.
According to the book "The Anti-Aging Zone" by Barry Sears Ph.D., these cheap refined carbs we eat so many of are high glycemic-load carbohydrates which cause the body to produce to much insulin. These high levels of insulin speed up the aging process and increase the potential of the body's ability to make even more unhealthy toxic fat.
Many people now don't need to eat at home most of the time because of the availability of fast and cheap food available around the clock.
Drugs Suck!
Have you ever looked up the list of side effects on a certain medication you are taking or thinking about taking? The fact is every drug has a list of potential negative side effects, some of which are not very serious such as mild stomach discomfort or nausea to very dangerous one like heart problems and addiction.
Slimming drugs are no different and come with a long list of potentially dangerous side effects as well, one of which is getting dependent, in other words addicted to the drug you are taking in order to lose weight. But the problem with this is two-fold; you are in danger of getting addicted to the drug you are taking to shed some pounds, so by stopping to take it over prolonged periods of time, which is what the manufacturers recommend, will stop the weight losing efforts so it won't help you to achieve that goal.

Some of the common ingredients used by some of these natural products are:
Capsicum - this is extracted from red hot peppers. Capsicum has been used in these types of products for many years now because it effectively raises the body's metabolism.
Caffeine - yes, common caffeine is another commonly used product that also helps raise the body temperature and metabolic rate, making it burn more calories which is what slimming products are mostly all about.
Although some people may get the jitters by consuming a lot of coffee, many of these supplements don't have that much caffeine in them to do that but there is a chance some people might experience this. Still, lack of sleep or jitters is not a dangerous side effects such as heart problems such as stroke or even more serious comes such as death, which are included is some of the more dangerous pharmaceutical ones available.
