Can Zotreem Plus Be Used For Weight Loss?

Hi, I am 42 years old and my weight is 100kg. I told my friend to bring for me Zotreem Plus from Lebanon.

I am using it from two ago,However, I was surprised to know that it's banned from my country UAE because irt a dangerous substance. My lungs are so sensitive, so can I normally use this medicine or I have to stop it?

Hello! Thank you for writing. I don't suggest you to use zotreem pills. They have side effects. Probably one of the more dangerous unapproved diet pills out there since they are produced overseas.
The principle ingredients in diet pills are caffeine and B vitamins. Even the "caffeine free" blends contain herbs that contain - caffeine!
Let's pretend any of these "thermogenic" diet pills really do what they say.
The thermic effect of eating, digesting, and other food energy related functions only account for 10% of your total BMR (basal metabolic rate). So if you are fairly active a diet of 2000 calories per day is pretty reasonable for a maintenance diet. That means 200 calories go to thermic burn. Now let's say these wonderful diet pills increase your thermic burn by 50%. That is a huge change in any body function. So we have increased our caloric burn by??.... 100 calories per day! Or less than one pound per month. For anywhere from $40 to $200 a month. You can burn 100 calories a day just drinking 100 oz of ice cold beverages!
That is why these bogus and often dangerous pills cannot get FDA approval. They simply cannot prove their outrageous claims with acceptable clinical evidence.
Read the container and you will see each and every one of them says somewhere on the label it is a "dietary supplement'. Loopholes in the current laws allow peddlers to promote their products without accepted medical evidence to prove their outrageous All this stuff is putting your liver and kidneys through a lot of unnecessary and potentially dangerous activity.
Many spices like chili powder, different peppers, garlic powder, cinnamon and others cause an increase in the thermic affect of food. But come on, you can eat pennies per day of seasonings and get the same benefit as these diet pills.
A healthy diet of whole unprocessed foods will give you much greater results.
Common side effects of most diet pills

Arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat)
Heart complications
Jaundice (yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes)
I recommend you to eat healthy and exercise. Try brisk walks daily for 40-60 minutes per day , try swiming or whatever activity you like.
An idea for a healthy breakfast from 150 kcal until 250 kcal
One slice of integral bread 40 gram is about 90-100 kcal max
A little bit of avocado, or olive pate or cheese cream or peanut butter or gongorzola or tahin is about 20-40 kcal
Pomodorini, rucola, spinach, is about 10-15 kcal
Strawberries or 1/4 banane 20-30 kcal
Some combinations: 1 a slice of bread with cottage cheese and 1/4avocado 170 kcal
2.A slice of bread with avocado and tomatoe 160 kcal
3. A slice if bread with egg and cottage cheese 190 kcal
4. A slice of bread with tahini and 2 strawberries 150 kcal
5. A slice of bread with peanut butter and 1/4 banane 160 kcal
Eat protein foods the best is chicken breast , also fish, egg, yougurt, cottage cheese. Use dried fruits between meals or nuts. In order to consume proteins in your diet it is important not to suffer especially from kidney disease. Do you have any health problems? If not,continue to follow my advise.For excample eat pistachios or 6 almonds and one fruit. Drink plenty of water.
Best regards.
