The body converts food into energy and nutrients, eliminating what it doesn't need, and stores any energy not used immediately as fat. The creation of fat reserves is an integral part of digestion and we are thus programmed to put on weight, especially when we eat more food than our bodies can use.
The simplest way to lose weight is to increase energy output, or reduce food consumption. But it's not that simple. Firstly, as we get older, we tend to use fewer calories than when we were young. We also have to take into account not only hunger, but the desire to eat. An aid that can help control appetite and prevent the body taking in more energy than it needs is therefore invaluable
Appetite Control Formula contains ingredients (DMAA or dimethylamylamine, Hoodia gordonii and SLIMALUMA™, a patented extract of Caralluma fimbriata) which help reduce food intake and thus contribute to weight loss. They act on various mechanisms of hunger and satiety.
DMAA (Dimethylamylamine) is found naturally in the roots of the geranium. It acts on the central nervous system to regulate appetite, in a very similar way to adrenalin and noradrenalin. DMAA produces a slight increase in heart rate, thus stimulating thermogenesis or fat-burning. It also has an anorexigenic (appetite-reducing) role.
Caralluma fimbriata is a succulent plant that grows wild in the arid regions of India. It is eaten as a vegetable on a daily basis in certain areas of India. Some indigenous tribes chew pieces of Caralluma to ward off hunger on long hunting trips.
SLIMALUMA™, a patented extract of Caralluma fimbriata, helps suppress hunger, thus encouraging loss of weight loss and body fat. In particular, it affects levels of leptin, a hormone involved in the balance of food consumption and energy expenditure..
For centuries, Hoodia gordonii has been used to suppress hunger by the San Bushmen of South Africa. By chewing the Hoodia stalk and drinking the sap, they control hunger and fatigue on long hunting trips. In this way, they can go three or four days without eating or drinking and not suffer any drop in energy levels. The explanation provided by scientific research is that Hoodia gordonii contains an active principle which has certain of the same characteristics as glucose, particularly that of acting directly on the hypothalamus. This sends messages to the body's cells creating a feeling of fullness even after eating very little.
By suppressing hunger, Appetite Control Formula represents a powerful and effective aid to better weight control..
