The Australian medical authorities have issued a warning regarding three weight loss products that were found to contain large amounts of the appetite suppressant sibutramine. All of the products which were called "slimming foods" made no mention of the sibutramine in the labeling and the Food Standards Australia New Zealand said that there were high levels of it present.

The three products are Moti Angel Coffee, Sumabe Acai Berry Coffee and Leptin weight loss chocolate. As you can see from the names of the products they were designed to confuse people that they were using something completely different. For example the Leptin weight loss chocolate made use of the word leptin which is a hormone that regulates appetite, metabolism and energy expenditure, when the reality is that this chocolate had absolutely nothing to do with leptin and have no effect on it.
The Food Standards Australia New Zealand said that they were conducting more tests on similar products to see whether they also contained sibutramine. The idea that you can lose weight by eating a weight loss chocolate is pretty stupid, however desperate people make stupid decisions sometimes. At Ukmedix News we have always told our readers that they should use their common sense when it comes to weight loss strategies. If it's too good to be true then it definitely is a load of rubbish.
The only weight loss tea which is proven to work in any way is green tea and this does not do all of the work for you. Green tea will work as a mild appetite suppressant and a very mild metabolism booster but it will not make you lose weight unless you change your diet and get some exercise.
If you want to lose weight using medications you must have a doctor's consultation and he or she may be able to prescribe you a clinically tested and proven weight loss medication like Xenical.
