3) Ever heard of Hoodia Gordonii?

Popular in weight management — though it has existed for a long time.

It’s a bitter-tasting cactus-like succulent plant from the Kalahari Desert in Africa. Nomadic San Bushmen tribesmen have eaten Hoodia for untold generations to stave off hunger while on long hunts through the harsh and scorching desert.

This astonishing but rather ugly plant contains a molecule that tricks your brain into thinking your stomach is full. When your brain thinks you’re full, you will eat less – without ‘torturing’ yourself!

Thirty years of research and testing led to the discovery of the previously unknown molecule now called P57.

Here’s how scientists think it works. The hypothalamus in your brain senses glucose levels and triggers a signal to your body to quit eating. Researchers at Brown University believe P57 is about 1,000 times as active as glucose, so it evidently sends its ‘stop eating’ message even when you have not eaten.

When crews from BBC and "60 Minutes" traveled to South Africa to investigate this story, they naturally tried Hoodia for themselves. The BBC reporter and crews said they experienced no hunger for 36 hours after eating Hoodia. "60 Minutes" correspondent Leslie Stahl reported that she wasn’t hungry all day.

6) Garcinia Cambogia (standardized to 50% HCA). (standardized to 50% HCA). Garcinia is a small fruit resembling a pumpkin. It has a long and popular history in India as a condiment, and the dried rind is used as a flavoring in many dishes.

Preliminary research suggests that its biologically active compound, hydroxycitric acid (HCA), can inhibit the body’s ability to store lipids and fatty acids*.

This natural extract may also inhibit conversion of excess calories to body fat*. And it may suppress appetite by signaling your brain that enough food has been eaten, possibly through an increase in serotonin*.

"An apple a day keeps the doctor away."

7)Apple:

This could well have a lot of merit. Apples are among the most health-giving fruits available to us. They contain a host of beneficial vitamins and minerals, such as phosphorous, potassium, magnesium, calcium, iron, and many trace elements as well. And, they are the central ingredient in apple cider vinegar.

  • Apple Cider Vinegar. Apple cider vinegar (ACV) has been used for centuries as an energizing tonic and elixir.

ACV is a completely natural product resulting from a two-step fermentation process of apples, from which it retains all the nutritional benefits of the apples plus gaining the extra acids and enzymes from fermentation.

There are four suggested ways ACV may help you lose weight:

  • May Increase Satiety*

The same hormonal reflex that sends a "full" message from your digestive system to your brain (discussed when talking about Hoodia earlier) is also triggered by ACV*.

Satiety means feeling full. Scientists think that satiety occurs more quickly with acetic acid* (the ‘sour’ part of ACV). A preliminary Swedish study suggested that higher intake of ACV before meals was associated with significantly lower blood sugar and insulin responses and an increased satiety score*.

  • May Suppress Appetite*
  • Pectin, the water-soluble fiber in apples and ACV, may absorb water and make your stomach feel a little full before beginning your meal*.
  • May Increase Metabolic Rate*
  • ACV may help your digestion of protein, which is the building block of growth hormone*. Higher protein levels can mean more growth hormone, which may increase metabolism during your resting times
  • ACV may also improve your production of insulin*.
  • May Improve Digestion*.

Improving your digestion means fats stay in your digestive tract for a shorter time, with less absorption of those fats into your system.

A number of other health benefits you might get from ACV are:

  • Helps support healthy bone structure through minerals (calcium, magnesium, silicone, plus a number of vitamins).*
  • Maintain healthy lipid levels.*
  • Maintain healthy heart and circulatory system.*
  • Control optimal inflammatory response.*
