What are herbal weight loss plans?
Natural and Herbal weight loss supplements are supposedly the safest, easiest and healthiest way to lose weight without diet and/or exercise. They work in a variety of ways that range from reducing cravings to speeding up your metabolism.
Who should use it?
The target audience for natural weight loss is people that are slightly overweight or want to lose small amounts of weight quickly. Without diet and exercise no natural substance or remedy will be as effective.
The Good Stuff -
HOODIA
Hoodia Gordonii is proclaimed as one of the best and fastest ways to lose weight with an herbal cure. It comes from a cactus-like plant found in the Kalahari Desert in Southern Africa . It contains the molecule P57, which has properties of appetite suppression. This means that when consumed, your brain is ‘tricked’ into thinking that you are full when you haven’t yet eaten, as well as suppressing your appetite and delaying the amount of time before hunger sets in. Since the forms/products that Hoodia comes in vary, the price is hard to determine and there are no known side effects of taking Hoodia.
RELACORE
Relacore is a weight loss treatment pill that contains natural herbs such as Magnolia Bark, Passion Flower, and Panax Ginseng. The creators of Relacore have determined that fat, especially around the waistline, is caused by stress and anxiety. Through this knowledge they have discovered that by influencing the stress hormone, Cortisol, weight can easily be lost. Relacore reduces the stress caused by anxiety and by elevating your mood and energy it trims the excess belly fat.
Again, the prices vary for Relacore but for 90 pills it averages from about $20-30 per bottle and there are no known side effects.
ECOSLIM
Ecoslim is another very popular natural/herbal weight loss remedy. It contains supplements such as Fucus vesiculosis, Gallium Aperine, Garcinia cambogia, Paulina cupana, and Capsicum minimum. These elements of Ecoslim help to you to lose weight through improved liver and digestive functionality and boosting of your metabolism. It also improves your mood and energy levels throughout the day.
Ecoslim results usually occur in 3-6 weeks when taking 10-15 drops in water 3 times daily. There are no known side effects of Ecoslim and it costs around $30 per bottle (1 bottle lasts 30 days).
The Bad Stuff -
EPHEDRA
Ephedrine (from the Ephedra plant of Central Asia ) was a dietary supplement in the past but has now been banned from dietary products in the United States . It causes side effects that result in cardiovascular, dermatological, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, nervous system, and respiratory problems, as well as several others. There have been over 800 reported injuries from the use of Ephedrine, and 50 deaths. It is kept as a secret as the main ingredient in many Herbal Fen-phen products, which are not recommended and most are illegal.
