About herbs, substances and methods to reduce excessive appetite

These herbal ingredients are a component of many of the best weight loss supplements found on the market. Here are also some prctical tips to reduce an abnormal appetite.

Hoodia Gordonii:  This is a cactus-like plant (succulent) found in the Khalahari desert in Afrika. Even though the plant the plant has a similarity to cactae, it is not a cactus. Nearly all cactae originate from America, not Africa. The plant is 3 feet high and grows fresh colored flowers. The San tribe has for centuries used this plant to suppress the feeing of hunger when they were out hunting or on other types of excursions where they had not any opportunuty to eat. This centuries long experience has not showed any harmful side effects. The plant contains a substances that gives a signal to the midbrain that make you feel like you have just eaten.

This signal is normally given to the brain cells by glucose molecules when enough clucose has gone into the blood from the digestive system after a meal. Substances in this plant mimic glucose,and thus gives the same signal as glucose.

The effect you can expect using hoodia gordonii, is a greater ease for you to keep a controlled diet without giving up.

Pinnothin:  This is a chemical complex from the Korean Pine Nut tree Pinus koreanensis. Pinnothine (which just became widely available in 2005) contains pinolenic acid . Pinnoleic acid is an unsaturated fatty acid with 18 carbon atoms, three double bounds and with the first bound on the fifth carbon atom (omega-5 poly-insaturated fatty acid).  This substance helps reduce appetite by making the intestines produce a higher amount of the appetite controlling hormone cholecystokinin (CCK).  CCK is released into the bloodstream and suppresses the appetite by directly signaling to the brain to reduce the feeling of hunger. One of the ways CCK works, is by delaying the empying of the stomach contenet into the intestines.

Four hours after the intake of 3 g pinnoleic acid, the amount of CCK may be 60% higher than else.

Trixing with the meals:  The amount of glucose in the blood stream determines to a great extend the degree of appetite you feel. By trixing with your meals so that you have a steady, but moderate glucose level, can help you to reduce an excessive appetite.

One way of doing this is by having several smaller meals instead of a few big meals. It is however important that you do not increase the total amount of food you eat in this way.

Another way is to stick to a few meals, for example 3, but take some sweet fruit, for example bananas between the meals.

Another way of reducing the appetite, is to eat the food containing the must sugar and carbohydrates first in each meal, for example beginning the meal with some fruit. If you plan to have some dessert, you can eat the dessert first. The dessert should be fruit, and not some sugar-laden cakes, and the like. It i however important that you do not eat so much of the carbohydrate rich food at first, so that you do not manage to eat the proteine rich food thereafter.

A diet with low gycemic index:  By keeping a daily diet with a low glycemic index, you more easily are able to controle your appetite. The glycemic index of a food type or a nutrient is a measure of the speed this substance causes the blood sugar level to rise once it has been consumed.

By having an over-all diet with a law glycemic index, the blood sugar level will keep itself fairly constant. Then you do not so easily get strikes of an uncontrolllable appetite, since the blood sugar reduces the action of the  appetite center in the brain.

If you have a diet with a high glycemic index, you get periods each day with a very law blood sugar level. This easily gives you an attack of an uncontrollable appetite. Then the blood sugar is very high for some time and then abruptly decreases again. This swinging blood sugar level also contriutes in causing lifestyle diseases like diabetes, and may in itself also cause you to more easily gain weight, because the blood sugar rather get converted to fat and stored than used when the level is high.

Food with a low clycemic index are fish, meat, poultry, mushrooms, vegetables, and most diary products. Full corn cereals or full corn bread also have a low glycemic index. However, you must east lean meat and diary poducts to avoid getting too much fat. Fat in itself has a low glycemic index, but contains much energy and tjerefore is easily stored as fat depots in the body.

Natural fruit has a somewhat higher glycemic index. Food made from refined cereals, food with added sugar, potatoes, cookies, sweet snacks and sweet drinks have a high glycemic index.

Drinking enough water:  Sometimes it si not easy to know if one is thirsty or hungry. Many people drinks too little water, but mistakes the thirst for hunger and thereby consumes too much food, without managing to take away the thirst. To drink enough water between the meals and before the meals can both cure this cronic thirst and help reduce the amount of food consumed.

Consuming more bulky food:  The appetite also depend of the emptyness or fullness of the stomach. Consuming food that are bulky, but does not contain so much solid digestible substance, will give you a feeling of fullness and reduce the appetite. Fibre rich food, like full corn bread and cereals has this properties. The fibres are not absorbed, and they suck up water and swell to give a feeling of fullness. By adding bran or other high fibre elements to your food, this effect can increase even more.

Vegetables and to some extend also fruit contain much water, but little solid substance, and therefore give a good feeling of fullness. Vegatables however, contain much valuable minerals and vitamins.

Even though the reasons behind over-weight are complicated, an over-consume of food or  energy-rich nutrienst is nearly allways an important factor. Sometimes it is necessary to treat conditions, as for example hypothyroidism to fight obesity. However, even if such conditions are present and treated, one must also make a revision of the amount of food consumed, the type of food consumed and increase the level of physical activity.
