The Brazilian diet involves taking two pills, three meals a day, at least 64 ounces of water, and no snacks. The pills contain herbs and caffeine and can cause rapid weight loss, but also have potential harmful effects and have not been approved by the FDA.
Originally from Brazil, the Brazilian diet promises rapid and substantial weight loss. It involves taking two specific pills, along with three meals a day, at least 64 ounces (1.89 liters) of water a day, and absolutely no snacks. Diet pills are among the most expensive on the market. Proponents of this diet claim that the pills can help a dieter lose up to 20 to 30 pounds (9.07 to 13.6 kg) per month.
The first diet pill is yellow and is known as Emagrece Sim. This pill contains herbs that are said to cleanse and detoxify the dietary system, targeting the liver, gallbladder, and kidneys. The second pill is orange in color and is known as Herbathin. Herbathin is packed with caffeinated herbs and is designed to reduce appetite and enhance weight loss.
Some studies have confirmed that the Brazilian diet is quite effective in causing rapid weight loss. Other studies have shown that ingredients in the Brazilian diet could be doing more harm than good. Many of the herbs affect blood sugar and blood pressure, and may be associated with increased cases of heart disease and heart damage. In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved these pills, but has issued many warnings about the substances contained in these pills. Pregnant women, diabetics, hypoglycemics, hypertensives, people with high or low blood pressure, or people with heart conditions should not use these products.
In some cases, tests have shown that the pills contain both prescription and unapproved drugs. Some tests have shown traces of Librium , Prozac , Valium and Fenproporex. Fenproporex is a stimulant that is converted to amphetamine once in the body. With the presence of Fenproporex, these pills can become a habit.
There have been cases where the ingredients in these diet pills have caused users to fail drug tests. According to some tests, up to 17 different drugs are combined in the pills. The orange pill, which contains caffeine and Fenproporex, should be taken in the morning. The yellow pill, which may contain Prozac, Valium, and Libium, should be taken at night to avoid the effects of the orange pill and allow the dieter to sleep.
The pills have not been approved by the FDA and long-term effects have not been proven. Many people who have taken the pills have reported experiencing anxiety, extreme mood swings, panic attacks, and suicidal behavior. Anyone considering the Brazilian diet should first speak with a doctor.
