Sunday, 10 February 2008

Overview:

Natural herbal weight loss products are effective and proven to be safer than other popular stimulant-type dietary supplements. Most herbal weight loss products include one or more herbs that aid in appetite control, fat-burning capabilities, and/or assist in boosting your metabolism. As with any new diet plan, consult your physician before beginning an herbal weight loss program.

Herbs and their Properties:

The following are just a few of the “safe” herbal weight loss ingredients:

1. Cayenne: Contains capsaicin, which stimulates metabolism,
2. Green Tea: A natural stimulant containing Vitamin C and antioxidants,
3. Seaweed: Contains small amounts of Chromium and Iodine, which aid in stimulating the thyroid.

Beware of products containing ephedra (especially in high doses), herbal laxatives, and herbal fen-phen, as these are known to cause serious health risks.

Herbal Weight Loss Plans/Supplements:

  • Herbalife is an herbal weight loss program that begins with a nutritional shake, a multivitamin, and a cell activator (which contains antioxidants that enable the absorption of vitamins and minerals). Herbalife sells a number of products including: appetite-control products, metabolism boosters, and protein snacks, as well as “Shapeworks,” a program customized to fit your individual diet needs. These products should help you reach your weight loss goal, when combined with healthy eating and a regular exercise routine.
  • Citrimax and Super-Citrimax are herbal weight loss supplements that combine Garcinia Cambogia, a South Asian fruit, with chromium picolinate, which supports normal glucose utilization in the body. The products also contain hydroxycitric acid or HCA, an organic acid that helps control your appetite. It is thought that Super-Citrimax may increase serotonin levels that affect our mood, sleep, and overall well-being. Both these herbal weight loss products work as an appetite suppressant and aid in the prevention of turning carbohydrates into fats.
  • Hoodia, derived from a cactus-like plant in Africa’s Kalahari Desert, is an appetite suppressant with proven results. It is believed to have been used by the tribal Bushmen years ago when they took long hunting voyages. Hoodia is an herbal weight loss product that promises results of 1-3 lbs per week for the average user. There are no stimulants or added ingredients in Hoodia, making it one of the safer supplements on the market today. However, be aware of “Hoodia fakes,” as there are many proclaiming to be the real thing. Purchase only the Natural Health Certified Hoodia, as this is the only one endorsed by physicians and dieticians.
  • Alli is the only FDA approved, over-the-counter, dietary supplement available today. Alli is an herbal weight lossherbal weight loss product works only on your digestive system, and it is virtually free of side effects. For more information, visit http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/alli/WT00030 supplement that prevents fat from being absorbed in your body (an estimated 1/4 of the fat you consume). Therefore, combined with a low-fat, low-calorie diet, you are guaranteed results. Alli offers online support, 24 hours a day, and includes customized meal plans, shopping lists, recipes, and support. Since there are no stimulants in Alli, this


Conclusion:

Although there are many weight loss programs available today, herbal weight loss products are safer, and for most people, more effective in achieving and maintaining their weight loss goals.
