Weight Loss Corner

Have you often wished you could control your appetite and have more energy? Well just maybe there is something that might help you in both these areas. Often compared with Hoodia Gordonii, Caralluma Fimbriata with its natural appetite suppressant properties might just be what you are looking for!

What is Caralluma Fimbriata?
As a means of controlling hunger, Caralluma Fimbriata, an herbal extract, is an edible succulent plant which has been used for centuries in India. Although forming a regular part of many Indian people’s diets, it is particularly popular with tribesmen who use it to ward off hunger when setting off on long journeys.

Is Caralluma Fimbriata safe?
Yes, Caralluma Fimbriata is safe to use. It is marketed as the “safe herbal alternative” to prescription anti-obesity medications.

Interestingly it is known as “famine food, appetite suppressant and thirst quencher” in India where it is used as a vegetable. The way it appears to work is by blocking the activity of certain enzymes which prevent the formation of fat.

How will Caralluma Fimbriata help me lose weight?

1. It is a natural appetite suppressant
2. Energy levels are known to improve
3. It helps regulate blood glucose levels

What research has been done?
Recent studies have been conducted and weight-loss of 5-10 lbs per month has been reported. Feedback from one of the patients who used Caralluma Fimbriata states the following: “I find that when I’m eating, I’m satisfied quicker; I don’t eat as much now and my energy levels have improved”

Research (double blind randomized study) shows that Slimaluma™, a patented extract of Caralluma Fimbriata, reduces hunger significantly. It was found that the group taking Slimaluma™ were around 20% less hungry, and lost approximately 72% more weight, than those not using Caralluma Fimbriata.

How is Caralluma Fimbriata used?
Obtainable in capsule form, it recommended to be taken an hour before lunch and an hour before dinner.

How does Caralluma Fimbriata compare with Hoodia Gordonii?
Research findings by Dr Goldthorbe indicate that Caralluma Fimbriata has extra benefits: “Not only giving you the feeling that you are ‘full’ (the appetite suppressant component), it also gives you a sense of energy”.

In addition, Caralluma Fimbriata also:

• helps break down stored fat cells, particularly in those areas where cellulite tends to accumulate
• reduces the actual production of new fat cells

Does Caralluma Fimbriata have any side effects?
Although the herb itself could cause a little bloating and acidity in some people, generally, Caralluma Fimbriata has no side effects.

A balanced approach – not a magic formula

• Having a well-balanced diet
• Improving eating habits such as having smaller food portions, increasing water intake, not multi-tasking while eating!
• Reading food labels carefully re contents, eg sugar and fat content
• Increasing levels of exercise and physical activity

What else should I know about Caralluma Fimbriata?

Caralluma Fimbriata in a nutshell
In the West we tend to have an overabundance of food – usually cheap and all too accessible. The result of this (surprise, surprise!!) is an ever-increasing higher incidence of overweight and obesity, even in children, and the related health risks.

Consistently, Caralluma Fimbriata has shown high effectiveness, not only as far as decreasing the appetite (which helps get the weight down), but it also shows in weight loss!! This is particularly encouraging because when the scales start slowing down (and they do!) and you still see the inches coming off, this is incredibly encouraging. The fact that inch-loss occurs especially from the abdominal areas and waistline, is particularly good news!
