African Desert Plant Helps You Lose Weight... and Keep It Off Dear Reader,
Let's be honest with ourselves: There's no single magic-bullet weight-loss solution that will work for everyone. Real, lasting weight loss is about much more than what you eat — or don't eat. Your body's metabolism, or its rate of burning fuel for energy, can be impacted by dozens of factors — many of which have little to do with what you actually put in your mouth.
Everything from the strength of your immune system to the health of your liver to the state of your intestinal flora can impact your propensity to gain weight and your ability to take it off and keep it off. Any one of these factors can be enough to tip the scales toward a slower metabolism and weight gain.
And those factors vary from person to person. Odds are the underlying causes contributing to your weight gain are completely different from the person sitting next to you. When you look at it that way, it makes sense that what might help you lose weight would also be completely different from someone else.
That's why HSI continues to research safe and effective weight-loss breakthroughs… ones that don't require you to take drastic measures like following strict detox regimes and faddy diets that essentially involve starving yourself. They are not only unrealistic in terms of trying to stick to but are also unhealthy, as they place undue strain on your body.
So where does that leave you if you want to shift those excess pounds, have more energy and maintain good health without living on rabbit food? Obviously it goes without saying that the best way to achieve this is to eat less and follow a balanced diet, which includes plenty of fruit and vegetables, and to exercise regularly.
To help you get on the path to safe and lasting weight loss success an all-natural weight loss remedy derived from a South African Kalahari desert plant can help. It's called Hoodia Gordonii — you may already have heard about it as it's received a lot of media attention for its ability to induce weight loss by taking away the feeling of hunger without limiting food intake. This non-stimulant tricks your brain into thinking you're full so you eat less.
But it's not just your brain that can be tricked when it comes to Hoodia. In preparing this story we learned that a number of Hoodia products, currently lining health food store shelves up and down the country, aren't the real deal and do not contain the variety of the plant shown to suppress your appetite. In fact, laboratory tests have revealed that approximately two-thirds of the tested Hoodia supplements contain no identifiable Hoodia Gordonii. Don't worry, we'll tell you how to make sure you're taking a guaranteed Hoodia Gordonii product later in this email.
For now, here's some background on this remarkable weight loss formula…
Curb cravings and hunger pangs with this time-tested herb
For thousands of years, hoodia gordonii has been a native food of the San tribesmen in the South African Kalahari Desert — it was relied upon during long hunting expeditions to ward off hunger.
But hoodia's potential as an appetite suppressant didn't become clear until the 1990s when South Africa's National Laboratory tested it as part of a study of indigenous foods. During the screening process, extracts of plants were made and tested for toxic effects. The researchers isolated a molecule they called P57 and found that it caused a decrease in appetite and body weight in laboratory animals and the decrease didn't appear to be due to any sort of toxic effect.
Weight loss all in the mind
Typically, when you eat, your body produces glucose, which sends a signal to the hypothalamus indicating when you're full. Hoodia appears to act in the same way, but the P57 molecule is almost 10,000 times stronger than glucose. So even when you only eat small amounts of food, your body thinks it's full.
US researchers at the Brown University Medical School in Providence, Rhode Island, conducted a series of experiments to discover how P57 worked in the brain to produce the feeling of fullness. They injected miniscule amounts of P57 directly into the brains of normal, healthy rats. In multiple trials with the injected rats, food intake was reduced by 50 to 60 per cent during the first 24 hours after the injections, and the effect lasted for about 24 to 48 hours.
The researchers determined that P57 appears to increase ATP (energy-carrying molecule found in the cells of all living things) levels in the hypothalamus. In the rats that were fed a normal diet, they found that injecting the brain with P57 increased the hypothalamic ATP (energy) levels two-fold as compared with controls. Since ATP is created in the body by the metabolism of food, it would seem that less food should result in less ATP unless some other factor temporarily stimulates increased production of ATP. And apparently that's what P57 does. When these underfed rats brains were injected with P57, their hypothalamic ATP levels rose to about normal. On the other hand, the ATP levels in the control rats remained low.
In 2001, Phytopharm, the biopharmaceutical company that owned the license for the P57 extract, completed a very small double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study in 18 overweight but otherwise healthy volunteers, using an extract of hoodia gordonii. Large doses of extract caused a statistically significant reduction in the average daily calorie intake. In addition, researchers also observed a statistically significant reduction in body fat content as compared to the placebo group after two weeks.
Hoodia: More than just a weight loss pill
Many people experience a feel-good effect with the native plant in its natural form. Vickery says it gives you an overall sense of well-being.
And as if that's not enough, imagine feeling good, controlling your weight, and reversing diabetes. Obesity and type 2 diabetes go hand-in-hand, and weight loss in obese individuals tends to reverse the symptoms of diabetes. So if hoodia can help you decrease your weight, it may help you control type 2 diabetes as well. Two research papers published a few years ago claimed that hoodia produced modest decreases in blood glucose in both lean and obese (but non-diabetic) rats. Although the jury is still out on this, any degree of reversal of diabetes is positive.
Don't get hoodwinked by the Hoodia Hoax!
The science behind hoodia seems to be very promising, but the problem, as already mentioned, is that there are many counterfeit products out there.
It turns out that even though there are over 20 species in the hoodia family, hoodia gordonii is the only species which acts as a natural appetite suppressant. Luckily, there is a way to make sure that you get your hands on the real deal.
First, check to see if it was legally exported out of Africa. Exportation of hoodia from the regions of Botswana, Namibia, and Zimbabwe has been outlawed by the governments in those places, and the only legally exported hoodia gordonii must be grown and manufactured in South Africa. If the product you are buying is the real thing, it should have a Certificate of Origin detailing that it is indeed out of Africa. It should also carry a permit by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), on its label or packaging.
Another way to ensure you get only the best form of hoodia is to look at the weight-to-yield ratio on the product. Hoodia gordonii has a weight-to-yield ratio of 20:1 - nothing higher and nothing lower. So products claiming varying ratios are most likely misleading you.
What to take for best results
It is important to note that whilst hoodia gordonii is effective no matter what is eaten, it is far more beneficial for those who follow a healthy, balanced diet and exercise regularly — this is not only important for shedding those unwanted pounds but is obviously integral to promoting good health.
The recommended dose to take is one to two capsules per day with an 8oz. glass of water.
Hoodia has no reported incidences of overdosing or of negative cumulative effects. But you should not take this product if you are pregnant (and it is not recommended for children). Allergic reactions may occur, as with all plant material. Reduced calorie intake can also affect the control of diabetes mellitus. Before trying this product, you need to speak to your doctor to make sure that this product is appropriate for you to take. You should only use hoodia under their guidance.

... and another thing
One thing you shouldn't do when you're trying to lose a few pounds is reach for the artificial sweeteners... they can induce sugar cravings, or worse spike your insulin levels which play a pivotal role in the manufacture and accumulation of fat in your body.
In a German study — carried out at the Smell and Taste Clinic, University of Dresden Medical School — researchers found that by just putting an artificial sweetener (saccharin) on the tongues of subjects caused insulin levels to rise. This can create false hunger that leads to overeating as well as cravings for carbohydrate-rich foods... just what you don't need when you're trying to watch your weight...
The abovementioned study is not the only one providing evidence that artificial sweeteners have the capacity to stimulate the appetite. For example, a UK study at the University of Leeds found that women given saccharin-sweetened lemonade consumed considerably more calories overall compared to those drinking regular (sugary) lemonade.
In another UK study at the Centre for Human Nutrition, Northern General Hospital, researchers found that subjects who had eaten yoghurt sweetened with saccharin were inclined to eat more than those who had eaten yoghurt sweetened with sugar. At the Monell Chemical Senses Centre, Philadelphia, in the US, researchers evaluated whether "sweetness" increases hunger. They concluded that artificial sweeteners (aspartame) have the capacity to stimulate the appetite along with other factors such as the concentration of the sweetener.
Professor Soraya Shirazi-Beechey, from the Faculty of Veterinary Science at the University of Liverpool, says: "Artificial sweeteners can also activate the glucose sensor and increase the capacity of the intestine to absorb more sugar. You drink diet cola to stay slim but the reverse is true, because the artificial sweeteners can activate the sensor, so you are taking more glucose from your diet."
He added: "If someone wants to lose weight, I don't think artificial sweeteners are going to help... My recommendation is to eat natural foods, but to eat less of them."
Until next time,
