Cheap Weight Loss Pills

The price of weight loss pills varies greatly, from under $10 to hundreds of dollars. Weight loss does not have to cost a fortune. Weight loss supplements are available that can help you shed unwanted pounds without draining your bank account. Green tea and Alli are low-cost weight loss supplements with study-proven results.

Green Tea

• Diet pills that contain green tea as the main ingredient are a low-cost diet pill option. The main ingredient in green tea is ECGC, an antioxidant that works by speeding up your body's metabolism. Health magazine reports consuming 325 milligrams of ECGC with caffeine can burn 180 calories a day or 18 pounds a year. Green tea is available in diet supplements and in tea form and should be taken before each meal for optimal weight loss results.
  Green tea has been used for over 5.000 years to promote health and well being. An article in the July 2009 issue of Better Nutrition states the benefits of green tea are now touted in more than 3,000 published studies. Green tea is proven to help protect against Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, osteoporosis, type 2 diabetes and gum disease. A study published in the Journal of The American Medical Association confirms these health benefits. The study tracked 40,000 Japanese people over 10 years. Researchers report the study subjects who consumed five or more cups of green tea a day significantly cut their risk of dying prematurely from heart disease or stroke. Green tea diet pills are available at almost every food, drug and health supplement store as well as online.

Alli

• Alli costs more than green tea but significantly less than many other, less effective weight loss pills. Alli is one of the few diet pills that can boast Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval. Alli works by keeping the intestines from absorbing some of the fat consumed during meals. People who take Alli lose more weight than dieting alone.
  Unpleasant side effects are associated with eating a high-fat diet while taking Alli, including "urgent bowel movements, diarrhea and gas with oily spotting." According to an article published in Drug Store News, Alli is causing a shift in the way people eat and the way they shop for food. Information presented at the 2008 Annual Scientific Meeting of the Obesity Society confirms people who take Alli select healthier foods when shopping. By promoting healthy eating habits, Alli may be the key to losing weight and keeping it off over the long term.
