BONUS : Herbal Weight Loss
Those looking to lose weight will often try anything they can, and herbal weight loss is often considered as a viable alternative to more mainstream methods. The desperation to lose weight as quickly as possible due to health problems and low self-esteem can expose dieters to scammers, con artists and thieves.
While there are benefits that can be gained from a herbal weight loss diet, it's important for those trying to lose weight to properly research the diets they are considering. This article will let you know a few ways to get the benefits of a diet that takes advantage of the use of herbs, while also advising you of the dangers of diets with less scientific credentials.
A herbal weight loss diet could include the following herbs:
- Psyllium is a fiber supplement that will greatly improve the health of your digestive system. A diet that is high in fiber can help levels of energy, reduce the chance of bowel cancer, and contribute to weight loss. Fiber also fills you up, and represses hunger.
- Hoodia Gordonii is a herb that works to trick the brain into believing the stomach is full, thus removing hunger pangs.
- Guarana is gaining popularity due to its presence in many energy drinks.
Now, to speak of the dangers of herbal weight loss. There are a great number of herbal supplements out there, each offering different ways to help you lose weight. But itÂs important to use sound, rational judgment to decide which herbal weight loss plan is right for you. Otherwise you might find yourself getting conned out of your money, and maybe doing damage to your health.
For example, in 2007, Kevin Trudeau published a book titled, "The Weight Loss Cure "They" Don't Want You to Know About", in which he advised taking on a diet plan involving herbal supplements that would, according to Trudeau, have you losing weight at miraculous speed. Who Âthey are and why Âthey donÂt want you to know about these plans is, of course, never explained in the book.
Trudeau himself has no certified medical expertise, and is a convicted felon. Clinical research into the methods advised in the book showed it to be ineffective against weight loss. Nevertheless, the book became a bestseller, and Trudeau has published two more best selling works. How is this possible?
Unfortunately, those looking to lose weight will look into herbal weight loss as they are in a desperate situation and looking for a miracle cure. Unfortunately, thereÂs no such thing. ItÂs important that your diet combines the two fundamentally important factors of losing weight: Exercising and eating right. These are not so easy to achieve, and as a result, dieters stay on the look out for books and fads that advocate a simple, easy way to lose weight without having to obey the laws of biology.
In conclusion, herbal weight loss plans and supplements can help you to lose weight and get healthy, but they canÂt be the beginning and end of the solution. Herbs that assist and help you in your goals are great, but make sure those out there looking for easy money donÂt fool you. If a new diet plan or miracle cure looks too good to be true, it probably is.
