gym subscription to "classic". Study participants were divided into two groups: the first were invited to attend
a gym regularly for 12 weeks, while the latter were encouraged to spend a "virtual" Second Life, the online
platform in which users can create "avatars", or virtual versions of themselves, and communicate and interact
with other inhabitants of the online community. At the end of the period, participants in both groups had lost
an average the same amount of weight, about 4.5 kg.
The secret? The reason that the gymnasts 'virtual' managed to get during their hours of online gym was packed
up and higher with ease to real life.
Swissmedic, the Swiss drug agency, has launched a new appeal on diet pills sold online are counterfeit and
contain many active prinicipi withdrawn from the market for some time as sibutramine. The analysis carried
out on 122 samples of different weight loss seized by police in the Swiss Customs revealed that more than
half of the cases have involved products hazardous to health.
Many, for example, was found sibutramine, the active ingredient of Reductil, the weight-loss drug that was
withdrawn from the market worldwide for over a year ago because of its effects on the cardiovascular system.
In some samples of generic Meridia, warn the Swiss authorities, has been detected three times the normal
dose. A quantity that can be deadly. Alarm for rimonabant, the active ingredient in Acomplia, another drug for
weight loss for some time withdrawn from the market worldwide. Acomplia, is still in a counterfeit product,
particularly in China, to be sold through online sites far from commendable.
Swissmedic raises the level of attention for slimming substances defined as "natural": most do not contain
only pure vegetable substances, as claimed, but also chemical ingredients. Last year, the Swissmedic said they
had traced sibutramine weight loss in as many as 74 alleged the "herbs" and warned in particular with respect
to the purchase of "Lida Dai Dai Hua", found naturally from yet another "miracle" slimming properties.
At the moment, there is only one approved drug for weight loss in Europe and Italy: orlistat. Orlistat is sold in
both the-counter version, lighter, with the name of Alli, and the prescription version of the most impact, under
the name Xenical.
