What Are Fat Binders?

By Jim Chase

A new method to lose weight used by diet supplements is called fat binders. Just what are fat binders and how do they work?

Fat binders have been around for centuries. In fact, nomadic tribes in the Sierra desert used these supplements, not to control fat intake, but to control their appetite. This was done in times of lean food supplies. So where did they get these fat supplements. Not at their local store, but from plants such as cacti and aloe vera. So you can see fat binders are naturally occurring.

How do they work? Well when a person takes a diet supplement that contains a fat binder, the fat binder acts like a lipohillic. A lipohillic literally means fat lover. The fat binder goes to the intestine, and attracts fat before the body absorbs it. The fat binder and the fat, it has attracted, are eliminated naturally through normal body functions.

Fat binders perform two functions in weight control. They suppress appetite and remove fat absorbed by the body. In one clinical study one supplement removed 28% of fat intake. Now if you are taking a fat binder you may not need to go on a low fat diet. In fact you may even be able to enjoy a beer while on your diet.

However I would not recommend it if you are serious about losing weight. To get to your goal faster, stay away from food that is detrimental to your diet. The other part of a good diet, is proper exercise. Do not forget it.
