There's a lot of hype around Brazilian Diet Pills. They are usually known as Emagrece Slim. The question a lot of people asks themselves, however, is do they work?

The answer to this question is Yes and NO. Let me explain this. If you are looking for temporary results, then Brazilian diet pills are for you. They work very fast. I lost 10 pounds the first week when I tried them, and 1-pound everyday thereafter. However, if you want long-lasting results, the Brazilian diet pill is not for you. Once you stop taking the pills, you will gain the weight back, usually TWICE the amount of what you lost.

The real question behind these pills is "are they safe?"

Brazilian diet pills marketers are targeting people by saying that they are All Natural. This however, is false. If you look at the pills, they seem to be bigger than regular sized pills. This is because they have more ingredients than any other pill. Some of those ingredients can be dangerous; one of the ingredients is Prozac, a known anti-depressant. Needless to say, anything including Prozac seems to be dangerous. If not dangerous, it seems that it should be medically prescribed.


Negative effects

If your job requires you to take drug tests, then you should definitely NOT take these pills. The pills contain Fenproporex, which is converted into amphetamine by the body. Although it may not happen with all pills, most pills do have this effect. Read the ingredients before taking anything.

A very dangerous negative effect is heart rate increase. When I first took them, everything was fine. It seemed that I was a bit more active than usual, just a bit. The second time around taking them, I began having really bad chest paints, close to my heart. I ignored them because I thought it would go away. But it didn't. Every time I took the pills I would get chest pains and horrible headaches. Once I stopped taking the pills, the chest pain and headaches stopped. The pill can cause bad effects to your body. If you at anytime, experience chest paints or bad headaches, stop taking the pill immediately and see a doctor.

Bottom Line- if you want a fast and temporary weight loss product, these pills are for you. If you want long-term results, they are definitely not for you. Once you stop taking the pills, you will gain twice the weight back. These pills (based on results, overall effects, and ingredients) seem to be a mediocre product. They can be dangerous to your health, and include prescription drugs. Put those two together and you have a recipe for disaster. Even if you want fast results, I recommend staying away from these pills. They can be damaging to your health, and very addicting as well.
