| Three Nutrients Help You Drop the Pounds |
By Al Sears, MD
Here in South Florida the weather is warming up.
Yesterday’s high was 92 degrees! The whole
practice is talking about getting our bodies back in
beach shape. A bunch of us are doing PACE, plus
we’ve got a secret weapon to curb our cravings.
In fact, it makes losing that extra “insulation” that we
all tend to pack on in the winter as easy as 1, 2, 3.
Three natural supplements that I’ll explain in this
article can help you:
The first one is Garcinia cambogia, a pumpkin-
shaped fruit from Asia. It has been used for
centuries in places like Indonesia and India to make
small meals seem more filling.
Garcinia’s rind contains hydroxycitric acid (HCA), a
natural appetite-suppressing compound. In a
Georgetown University Medical Center study,
individuals taking HCA supplements decreased their
appetite, lost a significant amount of weight, and
helped maintain healthy cholesterol levels that were
already within the normal range in just 8 weeks.1
And Garcinia does more than recondition your body
to eat less. It also helps you lose weight by blocking
the action of an enzyme called citrate lyase, which
turns excess carbs into fat. So, instead of putting on
the pounds, your body ends up using carbs more
efficiently.
The second gut-busting supplement is Hoodia. You’
ve probably seen the stories featuring it on 60
Minutes, the Today Show and on ABC.
For centuries, the nomadic San Bushmen of the
Kalahari Desert have eaten its stem before long
journeys to stave off hunger. A molecule in Hoodia
that scientists have named P57 suppresses your
appetite by sending your brain the message that you’
re full — even if you haven’t eaten. And it is not
known to cause any side effects.2
The third key nutrient is chromium. Chromium is vital
in helping to maintain blood sugar levels that are
already within the normal range. So, if you have a
sweet tooth, you definitely want to maintain a healthy
chromium intake.
But, nutrition experts say that 90 percent of all adults
in the U.S. suffer from chromium deficiency, so it’s
likely that you aren’t getting enough of this essential
nutrient.
But you can’t take just any chromium. Some types
may actually do more harm than good. And research
shows that chromium needs niacin to be an effective
supplement.
Look for chromium polynicotinate a niacin-bound
form which is safe and effective as a dietary
supplement.
I recommend you take the following amounts of
each of these fat-busting supplements before each
meal to help shed the winter weight.
