bell so you never miss our daily videos the key to losing weight in general is
to consume less calories than you're burning proper diet and exercise are a
surefire way to lose weight but with today's climate this can be difficult
that's one reason why companies are coming up with new diets and pills to
help assist with weight loss we want to acknowledge that there's a case to be
made for folks needing some help when it comes to losing weight if you've ever
tried to drop a few pounds yourself you can attest to how difficult it truly can
be this video is designed to give you all the facts about the new diet pill so
you can have the proper information before deciding it's right for you
remember this pill is prescription based as well so you'll need to talk to your
doctor before making any decisions one way or another first let's talk about
what the product is the pill comes from a company called jealous and the new
product is called plenty it's designed to help with proper weight management
all the while being paired with a healthy diet and exercise this product
comes in a pill that you can take with water about 30 minutes before eating
inside each of these pills are thousands of water absorbent hydrogels that can
increase 100 times in size once ingested they increase by absorbing water and
once these hydrogels have expanded to their full size they sort of trick your
stomach into thinking you're fuller than you really are
literally by taking up space in your stomach that would normally be occupied
by food the whole idea of this pill is that it's derived from natural building
blocks made up of cellulose which is commonly found in plants and citric acid
and is supposed to help you feel fuller so you don't need as much during meal
times the company says that hydrogels work in the same way as if you ate a
bunch of leafy greens the hydrogels will stay hydrated until they reach the large
in 10 where they'll be broken down naturally
and will continue to be digested as food normally would so that's how the pill is
designed to work because this pill is delivered on a prescription basis it's
only suitable for adults who have a body mass index or a BMI of 25 to 40 your BMI
is a measure of body fat based on your height and weight that applies to adults
most adults who have a BMI between eighteen point five and twenty four
point nine are considered normal weight however there are always exceptions to
this rule basically anything above twenty five starts getting into the
overweight range which is why plena tea is only recommended for those with
specific BMI readings the results of the study had encouraging results however we
feel the need to mention that the jealousness loss of weight study
otherwise known as glow was paid for by jealous who are the makers of plena tea
this is the study that the FDA based most of their approval upon according to
health line in this study glow the company recruited four hundred and
thirty six adults with a BMI between twenty seven and forty and tracked their
results for almost six months or 24 weeks researchers conducted a
double-blind study which means that neither the participants nor the
researchers knew which pill was the real plena tea product or which one was the
placebo this is likely to lead to more accurate results people who were given
the new weight management pill were shown to lose about 6.4 of their body
weight over the following weeks as compared to those who took the placebo
who only lost about four point four percent this isn't really a huge
difference but according to the clinical parameters this was considered
significant so what are the side effects well while the study hasn't raised any
major health concerns or red flags participants in the study did report
some cases of gastrointestinal issues like diarrhea abdominal pain random
bowel movements bloating and gas however those who took the placebo also
experienced some of those effects as well
so the results do seem promising without any surgery or major side effects this
is why the pill is so attractive most people want any help they can get
and if that only involves a little extra gas then I think they'll be okay with
that another thing to note about the participants in this study is that they
were put on a pretty low-calorie diet they were instructed to eat 300 less
calories in a day if they normally would and these diets consisted of pretty
healthy food aka no takeout they were also required to partake in
some form of exercise every day as you've probably guessed a low calorie
diet paired with exercises the actual recipes of losing weight so you have to
wonder how much this pill is actually helping if these folks were already
adapting a healthy lifestyle besides suppressing the actual desire to
eat consuming low-calorie healthy meals and exercising regularly should have
positive results when it comes to losing weight another concern when it comes to
this study is that participants were only studied for about six months in the
grand scheme of things that's actually a pretty short period of time losing
weight and committing yourself to a healthy lifestyle is a lifelong journey
so short studies like this although fairly positive with results might not
be so accurate when it comes to your long-term weight loss goals remember if
you're looking to get some outside help when it comes to losing weight it's very
important to speak with a professional proper exercise and diet will always be
a part of any weight loss plan put into action but there are things out there
that could potentially help you along the way remember to always be safe and
get a trusted opinion from a medical professional
since the pill isn't set for release until the year 2020 there's no fixed
price on the pill another reason why it may seem so attractive is no matter how
expensive the pill ends up costing it'll likely be way less expensive than any
surgery used to help with weight loss like gastric bypass surgery jealousy's
is slated for late 2019 limited launch with plans for a full release in the
year of 2020 so what do you think about this new
