Are you looking to lose weight? If so, then you might have considered trying diet and exercise. If not, then you might have tried weight loss products like diet pills and programs. Whatever method or tool you have tried for shedding off the pounds, you will definitely agree that losing weight is no easy feat. Hence, millions are looking for the easiest, painless, and fastest weight loss method around.
The new alternative
Thousands of weight loss pills have invaded the market. Most weight loss pills are sold over-the-counter, so virtually anyone can just buy them. Nowadays, weight loss pills contain a variety of ingredients, supposedly the magic bullet to make you lose weight. A popular ingredient today is green tea.
One example of a weight loss pill containing green tea is the Mega T weight loss pill. It contains green tea extracts, which has been viewed as effective for weight loss, helping boost metabolism, decrease your appetite, and reduce fat absorption.
The power of green tea
According to the Mega T green tea for weight loss website, it can help people lose up to 20 pounds if they follow the corresponding diet program. They also claim that a study conducted by an Independent Research group has confirmed that Mega T green tea is effective for weight loss.
Mega T green tea for weight loss contains green tea as the main ingredient, which is a known anti-oxidant and stimulant. Mega T also contains other ingredients, including Guarana, which is a known appetite suppressant.
Is it effective?
Despite of these claims, the effectiveness of Mega T still remains in question. Natural green tea is the effective tool for weight loss. Although Mega T contains green tea extracts, it also contains other ingredients, effects of which remain unknown. Hence, it is still better to drink natural green tea instead of taking these supplements.
One of the most popular combinations in diet pills these days is green tea and Hoodia. Green tea is added to many Hoodia Gordonii pills, liquids and even patches to help speed up fat burning and weight loss.
What's more, people should be aware of the side effects of green tea. Since green tea contains caffeine, people who have heart conditions and high blood pressure are advised not to take green tea. Always consult your doctor before trying any diet products.
What's the big deal? Is green tea with Hoodia better than Hoodia alone? Is green tea and Hoodia a magical combination for weight loss? Here's a brief review of the benefits of each to help you decide.
#1 Appetite Suppressing Hoodia
Hoodia Gordonii is a cactus of the "succulent" cactus family, which has grown for thousands of years in the Kalahari Desert region of South Africa. It's been used for years by the San people of southern Africa as a natural appetite suppressant during their long hunting trips for generations.
When it's potent appetite-suppressing effects become known several years back, Hoodia practically became the #1 natural diet aid overnight. It was shown in studies to help reduce calorie intake by approximately 1000 calories per day.
How does it work?
Normally when you eat, the glucose in your body rises and eventually signals to your brain (the hypothalamus) that you are full. Hoodia Gordonii mimics the effect that glucose has on your brain, telling the hypothalamus (which is responsible for hunger and fullness feelings) that you feel full. Consequently you have no desire to eat.
In fact, it is reported that Hoodia is actually 10,000 times stronger than glucose at signalling your hypothalamus to stop eating.
#2 Metabolism Boosting Green Tea
Sipping green tea can have several weight loss benefits. For one, it has been proven to boost your metabolism. A study reported on in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, found that green tea extract resulted in a significant increase in energy expenditure (a metabolism 'boost').
The researchers also concluded that that over a 24-hour period, green tea extract increases the metabolic rate by 4%. These effects are probably due to the high concentrations of catechin polyphenols found in green tea. These work to help intensify levels of fat oxidation and thermogenesis (the rate at which your body burns calories).
Given the benefits of both Green Tea and Hoodia, it's no surprise that manufacturers often add green tea to their Hoodia capsules. Green tea can help speed up the weight loss results you get when taking Hoodia.
Green tea also inhibits fat absorption and helps glucose regulation. Experts tell us that the catechins in green tea help to inhibit the movement of glucose into fat cells. Green tea may also act as a glucose regulator. It helps to slow the rise in blood sugar after a meal. This prevents high insulin spikes (lots of insulin promotes fat storage) and the subsequent fat storage.
Bottom line? On their own, Hoodia and green tea are both great tools to help you lose weight. One helps you regulate your appetite, the other helps to boost your metabolism and aid in blood sugar regulation. Together, they can be a powerful fat-burning combination.
It is important to note however that even though green tea can be a powerful boost to your weight loss plan, it does contain caffeine. So if you find that caffeine makes you jittery or gives you other problems, you should steer clear of any Hoodia product that contains green tea. You might be better off to stick with a product that contains Hoodia only (and there are lots of products that offer this.)
As with everything, make sure you consult your health care practitioner before making any changes to your diet or lifestyle.
