Appetite Suppressants

You'd think that the heavier a person is and the more exercise they do, the more benefits they receive-right? It doesn't seem that way. A new study has determined that exercise reduces hunger in lean women, but NOT obese women.

Wired Magazine reports on a new diet pill - a pill that expands into a gelatinous blob the "size of a tennis ball" after swallowing.

Sound appetizing?

Many people believe that engaging in exercise leaves you feeling hungry. Some take it further claiming that you end up eating more - thus negating any calorie deficit from the exercise.

So what is the truth?

Researchers in the UK have concluded that exercise does indeed make you hungry - but the overall result will still give you a calorie deficit.

Researchers have learned that a hormone called pancreatic polypeptide (PP) can reduce appetite by sending a signal of fullness.

The research team has been given a massive £2.2m to move their research to the next level - specifically chewing gum.

Imagine a weight loss technique that simply involves spraying yourself with various sprays. Sounds too good to be true.

Every day I have "friends" that email me. They say it's time to become fit and happy again, and to make your fat friends envy you.

It's spam, and it's about a diet pill called Anatrim, and it's driving me crazy.

What is all the fuss about appetite suppressants? Exactly what happens when you stop taking them?

When it was discovered that the African cactus Hoodia Gordonii had appetite suppressing qualities - an entire industry sprang up overnight. Spam and sales pitches are a dime a dozen - despite there being no assurances that any hoodia product actually does what it claims.Caralluma FimbriataGood choice for the rock garden

Now there is the Indian version - an edible succulent called Caralluma Fimbriata - marketed under the brand name Slimaluma.

What is it with appetite suppressants? I've seen sprays, patches, and pills by the truckload. Now we have lip-balms - such as "Promise" from Omega Tech Labs (thanks Dennise). PROMISE is applied to the lips of people that are snacking and picking at food or tempted to eat large meals. When the urge to snack or have a large meal strikes... Apply liberally to your lips. It 'helps' curb your appetite. A weight management tool. You can use it as often as you like.

New research shows that oil from Korean pine nuts may suppress appetite. After taking the pine nut oil-containing capsules, the women reported a lower desire to eat and a desire to eat less food during their next meal than they did after consuming the olive oil supplements.
