More fat busters

 Phentermine
What is it? Oral phentermine hydrochloride is an appetite suppressant that was recently withdrawn from use in Britain, although it is available over the internet from abroad.

What does it do? The drug stimulates the hypothalamus gland and affects certain neurotransmitters which control our sense of appetite.

The claims
Combined with an exercise and diet plan, phentermine reduces food intake by altering the level at which a dieter feels sated. It is used for short-term treatment of obesity.

The pain
An increase of blood pressure, a dry mouth, insomnia and nervousness. As the drug is similar to amphetamines, it has the potential for psychological dependency. Banned in UK due to fears about heart damage.

The gain
One patient reported losing 40lb in three months. It is the drug credited with helping the Duchess of York lose 3st.

The verdict
Don't touch it. It does help patients lose weight but its predisposition to mood stimulation has led to abuse. That, plus the controversy over heart problems, has led to its withdrawal from the UK market.

Appleslim
What is it? Combination of apple vinegar, vitamins and folic acid, available at health food shops (£8.95) to be taken as a food supplement.

What does it do?
The apple pectin (equivalent to eating 4 apples per day) keeps the digestion healthy and helps metabolise fatty acids. Pectin stops glucose being absorbed quickly by the body, resulting in fewer sugar highs and lows.

The claims
One pill a day will suppress the appetite and help absorb more energy from food, regulating the body's supply. By stabilising blood sugar levels, it reduces the craving for sweet or salty foods.

The pain
There's little pain, although if taken in conjunction with a strict low-fat diet, Appleslim may affect the body's balance of vitamins.

The gain
A natural approach to weight loss, involving only one pill per day. One dieter recently lost more than a stone in three months.

The verdict
I know of no evidence to support its use in a serious weight-loss programme.

Zotrim
Herbal compound made up of Yerba Mate, Guaranaand Damiana, available atc hemists and health food shops. Two tablets are taken before eac h meal with a glass of water (£21.95 for 180 tablets).

What does it do?
It keeps food in the stomach f or longer - by up to 20 m in utes - making the dieter feel fuller f or longer. The herbs delaythe emptying process andsuppress the urge to binge.

The claims
The first herbal slimming product to undergo clinical trials showed weightloss in all patients. The 47 people who took Zotrim before meals over the six-week tria l period lost an average of 11lb.

The pain
It's easy to take, as nospecific diet or exercise regimen is required. As yet, no side-eff ects have been reported.

The gain
Some dieters report losing more than a stone ina month. Those who have taken it f or longer than this recommended period say their weight stabilised and the BMI did not drop below a healthya verage.

The verdict
Insufficient data to suppor t the claims made. I'm not sa ying it's not helpful, but the patient is not necessarily being offered good advice on lifestyle chang es to accompany weight loss.
