Ayurvedic Weight Loss Pills



‘ayurvedic weight loss pills’ and you’ll be hit with names and ingredients that sound too exotic to be real. Like we mentioned when we said that weight loss pills don’t work, since ayurvedic weight loss pills don’t damage your body, nobody seems to care whether or not they do what they’re supposed to. And beyond being a big fad with hippies and other alternative medicine freaks, there is virtually no real, quantifiable information available. So what we’ve done is take Himalaya Ayur Slim as our test subject. Simple reasons: Big brand, huge name recall and they advertise on the page.

So Himalaya Ayur Slim ayurvedic weight loss pills are made of garcinia cambogia, commiphora wightii, gymnema sylvestre, terminalia chebula and trigonella foenum-graecum. Wiki-ing all of that and…

Garcinia cambogia: there is no proof anywhere but it claims to cut weight loss. No idea how – guess it just melts off when you sleep.
Commiphora wightii: flowering plant from north India whose key component, Guggulu, is supposed to reduce cholesterol – sanctioned by Indian regulations. Sounds good.
Gymnema sylvestre: Shown to reduce blood sugar levels and kills the taste of sugar thereby cutting down sugar cravings. Okay, make some sense…
Terminalia chebula: no proof whatsoever but apparently is beneficial in flatulence, constipation, piles, cough and colds. And it’s also an aphrodisiac! Anyone who has travelled by a local train in Bombay would have seen signs claiming one pill can cure everything… we have a winner!
Trigonella foenum-graecum: otherwise known as Fenugreek and anyone who has ever made Indian food has added it TO food so bit confusing – add it TO food and then EAT the food for weight loss

Like we mentioned earlier, the only evidence that all these ingredients work towards weight loss is to take the company’s word for it. The clincher is this disclaimer…
There you go: Make sure you’re pretty healthy to begin with, then make sure you’re eating less, eating right and working out daily. And the pills will work! But guess what genius, the ayurvedic ingredients aren’t doing anything – you are. So let go the placebo satisfaction you’re getting and just work out right and eat right and stop buying ayurvedic weight loss pills.
