Regardless of the diet you decide upon, the biggest reason for diet failure is hunger cravings. Any diet will call for a reduction in calories and the physical amount of food that you eat. Not only that, but people who have become overweight have usually stretched out their stomach, so they will not feel full with even a normal amount of food. You need something that will overcome cravings and also allow time for your stomach to return to its normal size. Eating teeny portions of food or platefuls of cabbage will not help you get over hunger pangs – you need something that will suppress your appetite.
Decades ago, while researching the Bushmen of the Kalahari Desert, it was found that these people chewed on the pulp of the hoodia plant to suppress their hunger while they were on a hunt. Hoodia was able to supply the help needed for the men to provide for their families; they were able to keep their mind on the hunt rather than on their growling stomachs.
Soon, scientists and dieticians were exploring the possibility that hoodia could help overweight people lose those extra pounds. Experiments found that hoodia contains a substance, named P57, which seems to act on the brain to suppress appetite. It only makes sense that if you do not feel hungry, will not eat as much. Those who have been having trouble with managing their weight might well find that hoodia could offer a solution to their problem.
Besides suppressing the appetite, hoodia also seems to have the effect of making you feel fullerafter even a small meal. A combination of appetite suppression and a feeling of fullness might be the key to helping you lose weight. If you are able to eat less comfortably, it will also allow your stomach to return to its normal size.
