Getting To Know Appetite Suppressants

By Rob Hyde

Oscar Wilde was known to have said that the best way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it. And yes, temptation is very hard to resist and we find ourselves succumbing to it. Particularly if the temptations come in the form of a luscious bar of rich chocolate, a slice of cheesecake or a juicy hamburger with everything on it. But resist we must, especially if we want to be healthy and look good by getting rid of those extra pounds.

Yes, it can be quite a struggle. But we must resist the urge to eat whatever we like, we must not give in to what our appetite dictates. The thing is, instead of eating less, we find that we eat even more than we should.

The good news is that there are a lot of products in the market that help us become victorious over our struggle with our appetite. There are different kinds of appetite suppressants available.

These work in different ways but these all have a common goal, to restrain your appetite in such a way that you find it easier to lose weight, as you do not have to incessantly struggle with cravings and hunger pangs. With the use of appetite suppressants, it is easier to stick to your diet and so be on your way to becoming fitter and sexier.

There are different kinds of appetite suppressants. Some of the most popular ones mimic the functions of serotonin. These work to fool the mind so that it thinks that the body is full and that there is no need to eat. There are also suppressants that put the emphasis on the canabinoid system (or the system that influences our cravings for fattening and sugar-rich foods. P-57 glycosides, meanwhile, imitate the way glucose works on the blood, leading the brain to conclude that the body has already eaten and is already full. Other appetite suppressants combine this function with the ability to burn stored fat, thus leading to more weight loss.

Another kind of appetite suppressant are classified as symphathomimetics. They function like amphetamines. These increase the heart rate, blood pressure and brain activity. These also increase the levels of noradrenaline in the body. Noradrenaline can work to dupe the brain into thinking that you are not hungry or that you are already full, as such you don?t see the need to eat as much as you would want to. - 29161
