How Hoodia Gordonii Plus Works

How Hoodia Gordonii Plus Works

hoodia gordonii plusHoodia gordonii (pronounced HOO-dee-ah) is also called hoodia, xhooba, khoba, Ghaap, hoodia cactus, and South African desert cactus. It’s actually not a true cactus at all, but rather is a succulent with sharp spines, that resembles a cactus.

Hoodia is causing quite a stir for its ability to suppress appetite, thereby promoting weight loss. The CBS television news program, 60 Minutes, and the British network, BBC have already featured stories about Hoodia.

Hoodia Gordonii can only be found in the semi-arid deserts of South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, and Angola. Hoodia grows in clumps of green upright stalks.

It takes about five years, or more, before Hoodia’s pale purple flowers appear. After that time the plant can be eaten. Although there are at least 40 known varieties of Hoodia, only the Gordonii species is believed to contain the natural appetite suppressant.

hoodia gordonii plusModern scientists only recently discovered Hoodia, however the San peoples, or Bushmen, have been eating it for centuries. These indigenous people, who live off the land, traditionally cut off part of the stem and eat it to stave off hunger and thirst during their arduous hunting trips across the desert. They also eat it for various medical issues, but, to date, no modern research has been done on those uses.

In 1937, a Dutch anthropologist studying the San people noted that they used Hoodia to suppress appetite. But it wasn’t until 1963, when scientists at the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), South Africa’s national laboratory, began studying Hoodia. Initial results were promising – lab animals lost weight after eating Hoodia Gordonii.

After 30 years of research, the South African scientists at CSIR isolated the active ingredient in Hoodia, and obtained a patent on the molecule in 1995. It is a steroidal glycoside, which they named P57. The South African government then licensed the patent to a British firm named Phytopharm.

hoodia gordonii plusThen, Phytopharm licensed the patent to American drug giant, Pfizer. The intent was to use the molecule, P57, as a base, to mass-create an artificial drug to meet the demands of millions of people. After three years of investigation, Pfizer pulled out of the deal, saying it would be too expensive to ever bring to market.

In December of 2004, Phytopharm licensed to Unilever, who has promised to bring this man-made drug to market.

It remains to be seen if a weight loss drug utilizing P57 will ever be realized.

In the meantime, while you wait and wait for the artificial product, Hoodia Gordonii Plus, a whole plant formula, is available right now. You can order this very minute, and become friends again with your reflection in a full-length mirror.

Easy Weight Loss Tips

Posted in Weight Loss Tips | by Susan on July 27th, 2008

Looking for easy weight loss tips that can help boost your metabolism so you can see better results? If you want to get to your ideal weight and stay there sometimes the solution can be hiding right in front of you.

Here are some simple tips that can really help to keep you losing those stubborn pounds.

Healthy Appetizers
Have a healthy appetizer before your meal. Appetizers that contain a lot of water like soup or fiber like salad help you to eat less because it fills you up sooner. Considering it takes your brain about 20 minutes to register that your stomach is full, this one tip could work well to keep you eating less and feeling full.

Eat Vegetables
Here’s a healthy weight loss tip. If you balance every meal with a serving of vegetables, the high fiber fills you up so you don’t need to eat as much. If you make this a habit your fat will disappear and your energy level will increase.

Downsizing Plates and Bowls
Another weight loss tip that many people swear by is downsizing your plates and bowls. If you eat on smaller dishes it often helps you consume less food. As simple as this sounds, there was a study done to prove that it really works.

Researchers from Cornell University researched this by serving snack mix in two different size bowls. A large one and a smaller one. The study showed that subjects took 53 percent more snack mix from the larger bowl.

In a second study at the University of Illinois at Urbana, juice was served in two different size glasses. One was short and wide and the other tall and skinny. Both glasses held the same amount of juice but the subjects who drank from the tall and skinny ones (which looked larger) poured themselves less juice.

Easy weight loss tips like this can help you adjust your portion sizes and it makes it easier to eat less. Try this with your next meal and you’ll see how well this works.

The My Alli Weight Loss Plan

Posted in Alli Weight Loss Pill | by Susan on July 22nd, 2008

The My Alli Weight Loss Plan was created by nationally recognized nutrition and weight management experts who understand the challenges of losing weight. One of those experts who has joined the alli team, Dr. Gary Foster. Gary Foster, Ph.D. is a renowned leader in the field of weight management and behavior change.

Dr. Foster is a Professor of Medicine and Public Health and Director of the Center for Obesity Research and Education at Temple University in Philadelphia. He has previously served as Clinical Director of the Weight and Eating Disorders Program, Department of Psychiatry, at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. Dr. Foster is a frequent presenter at national and international meetings and has treated overweight patients in individual and group settings for over 20 years.

Here, you’ll find resources including meal planning information that can help you fight cravings, survive slip-ups and control portion size.

Has this ever happened to you? You see a chocolate bar in a magazine, so you take a walk to the nearest vending machine. Or you’re in a movie theater, and the smell of popcorn drives you to the concession stand. These triggers are hard to handle. What can you do? Get moving.

Physical activity can boost your mood just like food can — and it uses up calories, rather than adds them If you crave a salty snack, have some salted celery or a lettuce salad with lemon juice and a sprinkling of salt. If you want something sweet, try sugar-free hard candy or a fruit-and-ice smoothie with no-calorie sweetener. If you can do something else for just a few minutes, the craving may pass.

Sometimes thirst disguises itself as hunger. But make sure you’re not substituting water for food; you still need nutrients as part of a healthy diet. Weight control is not like walking a tightrope — one misstep and you’re done. If you slip, don’t fall overboard with bad choices. Here are a few tips for recovering:

Accept that mistakes happen. Forgive yourself and focus on what to do differently next time Persevere with your goals. Avoid “all-or-nothing” thoughts of giving up. Try to understand what events or circumstances led to overeating. Anger, stress, loneliness, or the blues are common. Be ready for them.

When you sense a trigger, change direction. If you’re in the kitchen, or near food, go somewhere else. Just walk away. If you want to be sure you have a low-fat diet, count the grams of fat in your daily food choices and compare them to the number of grams of fat suggested for your calorie level.

One of the easiest weight loss strategies is to control portion size. Get to know the amount of food you eat. Often, we get in the habit of eating a certain amount of food to feel satisfied. And if we’re served more food, we’ll eat more. Studies have shown that the more food people were given to eat, the more they ate, regardless of their feeling of satiety. If the full plate is important to you, try using a smaller plate. Or keep portion sizes the same, but cut calories by lowering the fat in your dishes and adding more low-calorie ingredients like crunchy vegetables and leafy salads.

Pay attention to the “energy density” in foods. All foods have a specific number of calories within a given amount (volume). Foods such as desserts, candies, and processed foods are high in energy density. A small volume of these foods has a large number of calories. But some foods such as fruits and vegetables have low energy density. So you can have a larger portion size with a fewer number of calories — and that can fill you up without the downside of calorie overload.

Here are 9 quick tips for portion control

  •  Leave a portion of what you’re served on your plate. Ask for a “to go” container so you can  have the leftovers for another meal.
  •  Don’t be fooled into thinking if you skip the bread, you’re free to have a larger portion of  steak. Cut back wherever you can.
  •  Ask for salad dressing on the side, and use one fewer tablespoon of dressing whenever you  have salad.
  •  Make gradual changes in portion size for lasting results. If you want larger portions, add  more fruits, vegetables, and beans into your meals.
  •  A deck of cards is about the size of 3 ounces of cooked meat. A baseball is about the size  of one cup. Use these visual cues when looking at portions.
  •  Don’t let deprivation lead to a splurge. If you have a smaller entrée portion, fill up the rest of  your plate with vegetables and a green salad.
  •  Measure foods at home so when you eat out, you’ll know how much pasta or rice you may  be eating in a restaurant.
  •  Read food labels to get familiar with the calories and nutrients you’re getting in each  serving.
  •  Value meals may be good for the wallet but bad for the waist. You may be better off  choosing individual items in smaller portion sizes.

    How To Choose Weight Loss Plans

    Posted in Weight Loss Plans | by Susan on July 16th, 2008

    Did you know that every year more than half of all Americans will go on a weight loss diet? For most people, if they do lose weight the real difficulty is keeping the weight off. For that reason many people to turn to a variety of weight loss plans.

    Almost any weight loss program can work if you can sufficiently decrease the amount of calories you eat or increase the amount of calories you burn through physical activity every day. You can continually lose weight and keep it off longer if you combine both. If you are considering starting a weight loss plan, here are a few tips so you can choose wisely.

    Healthy Weight Loss

    The weight loss plans you consider should always include getting all of the recommended daily allowances for vitamins, minerals, and protein. You should be consuming lower calories but vitamins or minerals are essential to maintain good health.

    Lose Pounds Slow But Steady

    Any healthy weight loss program should be directed toward slow and steady weight loss. An ideal goal is lose only about a pound a week after the first week or two. If you lose weight any faster it can affect your health and weight loss should never harm your body in any way. You may experience an initial rapid weight loss during the first 1 to 2 weeks, but this loss is largely fluid.

    Eat A Variety Of Foods

    Making your food choices flexible is a critical key to weight loss success. How many times have you gotten tired of eating the same foods over and over again? A big reason why most people give up on weight loss is they get bored eating the same foods.

    There are thousands of low fat foods to choose from and that means there are endless combinations. A low fat recipe cookbook will offer you a lot of meal ideas as well as low fat recipes.

    Weight Maintenance

    Earlier we said the most difficult part of controlling weight is keeping the weight off. Weight maintenance is successfully achieved by improving your everyday eating habits, increasing your physical activity, and changing any other lifestyle habits that may have contributed to your weight gain in the past.

    Being overweight is most often thought of as a temporary problem that can be treated for a few months with some sort of miracle diet. But as most overweight people know, weight control must be considered a lifetime effort.

    When choosing between weight loss plans, look at the realistic approach so you don’t waste your money and a lot of hard effort.
