The beauty and wellness market is very prolific when it comes to “weight loss solutions”. Creams, drinks, capsules and other devices promising rapid weight loss abound. Among all these solutions, slimming drainers are gaining increasing success. But what should we think of these draining beverages with slimming virtues? We’ve investigated for you!
What is a slimming drainer?
A drainer, or draining beverage, most often comes in the form of a drinkable solution to dilute in water and to be consumed throughout the day or during meals. It is actually a dietary supplement (as can be capsules or ampoules), whose consumption should be limited in time, like any course.
As for slimming drainers, they generally promise different actions encouraging weight loss:
- A draining action (as their name suggests), which aims to restart the elimination of waste and toxins from the body and thus encourage the emunctory functions (kidneys, liver, lymphatic flow, intestines).
- A “fat-burning” action, through the combined action of different natural or synthetic active ingredients, which will stimulate metabolism (thermogenesis activating lipolysis) and/or capture part of the lipids from food to eliminate them through natural pathways.
- An “appetite suppressant” action, through a “mechanical” effect, since drinking at the beginning of each meal helps reduce the amount of food consumed and reach satiety more quickly.
What is the difference between a slimming drainer and a cellulite drainer?
The difference between these two types of draining beverages is subtle. It is essentially related to the composition. Cellulite drainers often have a targeted effect on circulatory disorders, responsible for the phenomenon of water retention, while slimming drainers act more on fat storage. Thus, a cellulite drainer will be composed of venotonic plants (red grape, ginkgo biloba, butcher’s broom, horse chestnut) and diuretics (meadowsweet, nettle, ash, pilosella), while a slimming drainer will focus more on active ingredients encouraging thermogenesis, metabolism acceleration and/or dietary fat capture (cholesterol-lowering action).
How effective are slimming drainers?
We won’t tell you anything new by saying that not all drainers are equal. The composition of the draining beverage will make all the difference. So it’s important to look into it to see if the drainer contains a sufficient amount of slimming active ingredients. Among these active ingredients, we should note:
- Classic ingredients rich in caffeine, such as coffee, guarana (guaranine), tea (theine) or mate (mateine). Caffeine actually contains an isomer, paraxanthine, which naturally increases lipolysis, that is, the mobilization of body fat reserves.
- Thermogenic ingredients, stimulating metabolism acceleration, such as capsaicin from chili pepper, piperine from black pepper or raspberry ketones.
- Other active ingredients with a reputation for being natural “fat burners“, such as bromelain from pineapple stem (enzymatic action on protein assimilation), ginger (lipid-lowering), turmeric (cholesterol-lowering), cinnamon or lemon (blood sugar-lowering).
- Finally, certain ingredients with a reputation for being “appetite suppressants”, such as Garcinia Cambodgia, Gymnema sylvestre, Caralluma Fimbriata, artichoke, Yerba Mate or apple pectin.
If the slimming drainer is rich in this type of natural substances (they must be among the first mentions on the ingredient list), it will be much more effective than a drinkable solution heavily diluted in water and composed only of chemical additives (flavors, texture agents, colorants and preservatives).
Moreover, you cannot expect miracles from a slimming drainer without making efforts alongside it. A course of slimming drainer can certainly be beneficial to your figure, but it must be accompanied by daily hygiene and dietary measures, namely:
- A varied and balanced diet, which emphasizes whole foods.
- Daily physical activity, consisting of daily movement and exercise.
- Sufficient and restorative sleep (lack of rest causes disruptions in hunger and satiety hormones).
- Avoiding stressful situations, as it is proven that stress plays a harmful role in weight (increased blood cortisol encouraging fat storage).
Which slimming drainer should you choose?
As you will have understood, to choose your slimming drainer well and thus ensure a dream figure, it’s better to focus on natural ingredients and those that have proven their effectiveness.
