Appetite Suppressant Supplements – Self Control in a Bottle?

Willpower From Popping a Pill? Well, Yes!

Appetite suppressant supplements are one of the most popular
diet pills marketed and purchased today. Why is that you ask?
Well, they actually help a lot of people to “get back in line”
after periods of binging such as the holidays, by helping to
decrease appetite and get back into a normal, healthy eating
routine in order to lose weight or even just to prevent over
eating.

Appetite suppressants are usually designed to help suppress
certain hormones or even parts of the brain associated with
appetite. They actually help suppress the receptors that carry
“hunger signals” to the hypothalamus, the center of your brain
which controls appetite. How do they do this? Well, it depends
on the type of supplement you choose.

Hoodia Gordonii – The Latest Fad in Weight Loss and Hunger
Control

Some supplements such as the much touted natural hunger
suppressor Hoodia Gordonii, are said to contain an actual
molecule named P57 that actually copies the effects of glucose
in the brain and helps to prolong feelings of fullness and
prevent hunger from even beginning in the first place.

Results with Hoodia have been mixed, but the general consensus
is that it is a pretty good natural appetite suppressant and has
worked to help people reduce their caloric intake and therefore
lose weight with less effort and hunger than if they did not
take the supplement.

The Less Talked About, But Perhaps More Multifunctional
Appetite Suppressant – Herbal Phentermine

Another diet pill that acts as an appetite suppressant, but also
doubles as a fat burner and thermogenic calorie optimizer
(meaning it helps the body to burn more calories faster, and
utilize them properly rather than converting them to fat and
extra weight), is natural Fen-Phen, or herbal Phentermine.

Remember Fen-Phen and all of the negative publicity it received
after causing several health complications and even deaths? It
was pulled from the market, but its dramatic effects on
weightloss and appetite control could not be forgotten.

Herbal companies came up with an herbal alternative to Fen-Phen,
most of the time dubbed herbal phentermine or something to that
effect, which was a safe and comparable supplement to the now
FDA banned Fen-Phen. If you find a good herbal phentermine, you
will find your cravings reduced and an overall decrease in
appetite wihtout the jitters. It also helps to increase your
energy levels, unlike Hoodia which is primarily used as a
straight appetite suppressant. Herbal phentermine is also non
addictive, unlike its prescription counterpart.

Supplements containing a high fiber content can also help to
stimulate a feeling of fullness since fiber expands in your
stomach, helping create and sustain the feeling of fullness as
well as helping to sustain healthy blood sugar levels longer. If
you drink plenty of water, this helps fiber to expand in your
stomach.

The only thing I don’t like about supplements with fiber or just
taking fiber to control appetite is that if you take too much
fiber, it can actually have a constipating effect rather than a
cleansing effect. Fiber must be taken with caution and careful
measurement – or must not be taken at all and instead
incorporated into the foods you eat on a daily basis.

Whichever appetite control supplement you end up choosing, make
sure it is made with high quality and purity standards – this
way you get what you pay for and are not disappointed in the
results you attain. One thing is for sure, appetite suppressing
supplements are a great way to go to get yourself back on track
and on your way to a healthy, sleek physique!
