FAQs On Appetite Suppressants

You often hear people talking about appetite suppressants. Especially people who suffer from sugar cravings and chocolate cravings. I want to tell you about the types of suppressants available and their benefits and drawbacks as well. Are they a healthy alternative and can they really be effective in helping you to reduce cravings and be a valid aid in a weight loss program?

Appetite suppressants are used by people who want to lose weight and think that they eat too much. They are usually recommended for short-term use, as the safety of long-term medication is uncertain. Appetite suppressants are effective because they help reduce the uncomfortable feeling of hunger that makes dieting so difficult. They can be a very useful component of a program of wise eating and exercise. Appetite suppressants can be approved for use by individuals who have a BMI of 30 without other risk factors, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. Used on a short term basis clinically to treat obesity, some appetite suppressants are also available over the counter.

In some cases, the side effects of drugs such as ephedra can be much more dangerous and cause serious health problems. So, the appetite suppressant containing ephedra might do a great job at suppressing the appetite and helping people lose weight and burn fat, but it can also increase the likelihood of having other major health problems that can be much worse than a few extra pounds.

Most natural appetite suppressants are usually considered safer, although it is important to remember that the overuse of even the most natural, unprocessed product can still have serious side effects. The most popular natural appetite suppressants are green tea extract, hoodia, citrus aurantium, 5-HTP, acetyl-l carnitine and ephedra (which is no longer available over the counter). Herbal appetite suppressants are safer than prescription drugs but we have to remember that every herb or supplement has possible side effects which increase the longer we take it. Most supplements, especially ones that contain stimulants, should be used on a temporary basis only; eventually, you will need to maintain a healthy diet on your own.

Hoodia Gordonii is a cactus that was originally used by Bushmen in the Kalahari Desert of South Africa to help suppress their hunger on long hunts without food. Be warned that there are some disreputable companies that may not put enough hoodia in their product to save money. Not only does hoodia help you get rid of those food cravings but it puts you in a positive frame of mind. It can help to cure a myriad of other conditions as well, such as abdominal cramps, indigestion,diabetes, high blood pressure, and gives you more energy. Hoodia Gordonii is 100% natural. So much so that in South Africa it is considered a food, not a drug.
