Best Selling Diet Pills 2008<\/h2>\n

As 2008 is now behind us we can look back on which diet pills and weight loss products were the most popular and best selling.<\/p>\n

It has to be underlined that most popular and best selling does not<\/strong> equate to most effective.<\/p>\n

2008 has seen the introduction of some new diet pills with varying degrees of success and the removal of some well established brands through safety concerns.<\/p>\n

So here are 10 of the most popular and most discussed diet pills of the past 12 months. The list does not include diet pills that are available via prescription.<\/p>\n

\"LipobindLipobind<\/strong> – the best selling diet pill in the UK. Sold in the high street and online via several sources, Lipobind relies on celebrity endorsement from actress Lucy Benjamin and now more recently, TV presenter Katy Hill. Lipobind is relatively cheap but gives the impression that profit has over taken consumer interest. More about Lipobind<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"ProactolProactol<\/strong> – classed as a Medical Device Type 1<\/strong>(MDD 93\/42\/EEC) Proactol is a clinically proven fat binder that can prevent the absorption of fat. Proactol has been featured in numerous publications on both sides of the Atlantic. Proactol has been described as a higher strength, more effective Lipobind.\u00a0 More about Proactol<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"PurePure Hoodia<\/strong> – the original Hoodia Gordonii. Pure Hoodia has managed to retain its status as the most popular and best selling UK distributed Hoodia diet pill. With a decade of history Pure Hoodia has not changed or succumbed to the hypefest<\/em> that is the commercial diet pill industry. More about Pure Hoodia<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"SilverSilver Slimming<\/strong> – Coined as the slimming pill for people who dont do<\/em> slimming pills, the Silver Slimming Pill is a gentle formula that can suppress appetite and offer moderate weight loss success to the long term focused dieters. More about the Silver Slimming Pill<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"AlliAlli<\/strong> – the anticipation that preceded Alli was was immense. Alli has the enviable status of being the only non prescription diet pill to be given FDA approval<\/strong>. The reality though was a major disappointment as consumer comments materiliased and that<\/em> side effect was revealed to the world. More about Alli<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"ChocolateChocolate Banana<\/strong> – despite the name there is little trace of chocolate or banana in the formula. Chocolate Banana relies on Sida Cordofolia as a main ingredient. Big seller throughout 2008 largely due to the cutesy name – whether 2009 will offer similar success remains to be seen. More about Chocolate Banana<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"HydroxycutHydroxycut<\/strong> – both the original and the Hardcore version continue to sell well. Hydroxycut is possibly the best known fat burner and is available to buy almost anywhere. Fat burners in general are not effective. Its a testimony the marketing people that Hydroxycut remains in public demand. More about Hydroxycut<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"LipovoxLipovox<\/strong> – despite frequent bad publicity, negative comments and a less than professional approach from the company responsible, Lipovox continues to sell in abundance. Lipovox is a concoction of superfoods that us human beings cannot function without. More about Lipovox<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"OrovoOrovo<\/strong> – Orovo have a range of diet products, Original Orovo, Detox and X-Treme. Orovo has an association with Lipovox and several other USA targeted diet pill brands that appear remarkably simlar in ingredients. It has been suggested in some quarters that Orovo is more likely to cost you pounds than help you lose lbs. More about Orovo<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"SlimSlim N Sexy<\/strong> – Towards the end of 2007 the SlimNSexy Slimming Pill benefited from a news story in some of the tabloids and subsequently sales spiked at the start of 2008. A UK woman apparently lost weight but drove her husband away with constant amourous demands. A tyoical example of hype over substance. More about Slim N Sexy<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

So there you have it – the best selling and most popular diet pills of 2008. A mixed bunch with quality clinically proven products sharing the spotlight with the not so clinically proven<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Whatever your hopes and ambitions are for 2009 with regard to your weight loss endeavours be sure to do something. A journey of what can seem like a million miles has to start somewhere.<\/p>\n
