What Makes My Tummy Growl?
Located in the middle of your brain is a tiny cherry-sized zone called the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus contains several groups of nerve cells which have the ability to impact emotions, regulate body temperature, motivate sexual behavior as well as control blood pressure. In fact, the hypothalamus is so multi-tasked that it is often referred to as the 'Master Brain' as well as the 'Brain of the Brain'.
The hypothalamus holds the key to controlling weight. In addition to the above, the hyothalamus is responsibility in regulating the metabolic process. It knows when the body requires water and swings into action when our blood sugar levels fall. The hypothalamus can even have an impact on how we feel about the foods we eat- from the way they taste and smell to the level of satisfaction we experience.
How Does Hoodia Work?
So the next time that you hear your tummy growl you'll know it's the hypothalamus telling you that your body needs fuel. Now wouldn't it be nice if could send a signal to your hypothalamus that you were full already? Well, that's exactly what Hoodia Gordonii does- it 'tricks' your brain into thinking you are full.
Hoodia gordonii helps you lose weight by controlling your appetite and thus ensuring that you eat less. When you use the recommended dosage of Hoodia Gordonii, you’ll find yourself eating less. This helps you consume fewer calories and, as everyone knows, the less calories you consume, the more weight you’ll lose.
Proof That Hoodia Is Effective!
In 2001 Phytopharm conducted the first double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study on humans taking Hoodia. The trial lasted for 15 days and consisted of 18 overweight men who were instructed to continue their normal diet and exercise. Half of the volunteers were given 400 mg per day of Hoodia Gordonii powder while the rest of the group received a placebo. During the length of the trial, Hoodia was well tolerated and no significant adverse effects were reported. At the end of the trial, scientists measured the caloric intake and weight of each man. The study revealed that men on the placebo consumed an average of 3,300 calories a day and gained 2.00 pounds over the course of the trial. Participants taking Hoodia choose to eat only 2,200 calories per day and lost an average of 2.15 pounds over the 15 day period. A statistically significant reduction in body fat was also recorded, while the placebo group remained virtually unchanged.
What You Can Expect
After taking Hoodia for a few days, you'll begin to notice yourself feeling full after eating smaller amounts of food and far fewer calories. With this decrease in your calorie intake, and the continuance of your normal activities, you will naturally lose weight. The amount of weight you lose will increase if, in addition to taking Hoodia Gordonii three times a day, you increase your exercise levels as well as eating healthier and lighter meals.
