Which molecules in slimming pills?

Big amount of molecules is included in slimming pills and no one knows how to separate what is useful or not, or choose among them for their effectiveness.

To try to see clearly, we will categorize them into three categories according to their action: those that affect appetite, those that eliminates fat and the more effective, those that block their absorption.

Moderators of appetite, or satietogenics

They really have effect only as an aid when you want to try to eat less. If you have the reflex to prepare a drink with a bag instead of eating a pastry for example, or between meals spaced or evening to avoid getting up at night and go to the fridge ...
