The Hoodia Gordonii phenomenon
- by admin
For those of us who are trying to lose weight, natural help may be at hand in the form of a plant called the Hoodia Gordonii. It is native to the Kalahari Desert in Africa. It has been used for thousands of years by tribes to suppress their appetite when fluids and food were scarce or they had to go for long periods of time without supplies of food and water.
The Hoodia Gordonii diet is being used by people world wide and is becoming increasingly popular due the fact that there appears to be no side affects and people are claiming that is easier to loose weight with the Hoodia Gordonii than with any other weight loss diet.
Recent research has revealed that a molecule called P57, which is based in the core of the plant, tells part of our brain called the hypothalamus, that we are not hungry. The hypothalamus detects higher levels of glucose when we’ve eaten, and it is this signal that tells you that you are full. The P57 molecule imitates this but in a much more exaggerated way, and therefore your appetite is suppressed for many hours.
Media in the Western world picked up on the Hoodia Gordonii diet to such an extent that they have produced programs on it, and presenters and journalists have gone to the Kalahari Desert and tried the Hoodia Gordonii for themselves. The effects were astonishing with the people involved in the documentaries claiming that they lost their appetites for the whole day.
There are a variety of Hoodia Gordonii products on the market now, from Hoodia Gordonii patches, Acai Berry Maximum tablets and teas to name but a few.
The general rule regarding the tablets is to buy the expensive tablets, as the cheap ones won’t contain enough of the required ingredient.
The cost of Hoodia Gordonii extract has gone up considerably as everyone wants it but demand outstrips supply and it is certainly is not a cheap diet option.
Always check that the origin and certification of the Hoodia Gordonii product that you are buying. This will go a long way to ensure you are buying an authentic product which will aid you greatly with your diet.
