Best appetite suppressants

Finding the right appetite suppressant

Appetite suppressants are a great choice for dieters that want to get the best results out of their diet plan.

An effective appetite suppressant can make dieting a synch, with cravings and hunger pangs much less likely to derail your weight loss efforts.

However, with so much choice available which is the best appetite suppressant for you?

To answer this we need to determine the current available options. While many appetite suppressants work the same, there are some distinctions.

Appetite suppressants which stimulate the hypothalamus

The most popular appetite suppressors are ones which act on the hypothalamus – the part of the brain responsible for regulating normal appetite. Hoodia Gordonii is perhaps the most well known option, and works by releasing natural chemicals normally produced in the hypothalamus when we consume food.

This literally “fools” your brain into thinking you have already eaten and its effects can last anything up to two hours.

Hoodia is actually a cactus plant extract which is grown and harvested on the plains of the Kalahari Desert. A quality Hoodia supplement can reliably cut the amount of food you consume by 30-40%.

This can equate to a huge calorie saving over a week and can lead to rapid weight loss. Hoodia is also one of the only herbal diet pills which has been clinically proven to work and is safe even for long term use.

Prescription only appetite suppressants

While there are a number of prescription only appetite suppressants that also work in this way, they contain much stronger drug based ingredients that can cause some unwanted side effects.

In fact at the start of 2010 the most commonly prescribed appetite suppressant – Reductil (which contains the compound Sibutramine) was taken off the shelves by the FDA and EU medicines authorities. It was found that Reductil’s Sibutramine caused an increased risk of strokes and heart disease.

High fibre appetite suppressants

Some appetite suppressants work by using a high fibre complex, which when swallowed, slowly expands and causes the stomach wall to be stimulated, making you feel full. This type of appetite suppressor can be considered as a type of “gastric band” in a pill.

The two most popular high fibre appetite suppressants are Appesat and Fulfill Plus, both are available to buy over the counter or online in the UK.

Do high fibre appetite suppressants work?

There is a lot of mixed feedback on “gastric band” appetite suppressants with many users reporting side effects such as the bloated feeling they can cause. As they also slow down normal digestion this can also cause stomach upset and can be quite uncomfortable for some users.

There is also the question of effectiveness with many doctors stating that a higher fibre diet will have the same effect and at much less cost.

So what is the best natural appetite suppressant?

As always, potential side effects should be the most important factor when deciding on a diet supplement. The emergence of Appesat, Fulfill Plus and Hoodia has now given dieters a natural and safe option over drug based appetite suppressants, such as the now banned Reductil.

However, Hoodia Gordonii still remains the most popular choice for many dieters thanks to its proven track record, zero chance of negative side effects, and its countless successful clinical trials.

Our top choice for those looking for a quality, pure 100% Hoodia supplement is the excellent UniqueHoodia.
