 If they had something that could suppress that appetite, it would make it a lot easier to lose weight and keep it off. This is similar to the promise of the herbal-based, appetite control suppressant known as 'Hoodia'. It’s from the Hoodia Gordonii succulent and it is now widely sold as capsules or tinctures for appetite control.
This is the promise of the Nastech PYY3-36 Nasal Spray, and it is potentially a very promising treatment for obesity (and would even help those with diabetes as well). In fact, this could potentially become a huge success as a prescription drug. |

 Even though many of these changes are based on common sense—like not skipping breakfast, eating more slowly, and avoiding sugary drinks—the only way to make healthy dietary changes a permanent way of life is to provide people with a long-term solution that will reduce their appetite and eliminate unhealthy food cravings so that they are not driven back to their old behaviors. When addictive and excessive food cravings are gone, good sense can rule and a person can follow the healthy changes we recommend with little sacrifice and no discomfort. |
| When our patients are able to get their appetite under control, it makes weight loss nearly effortless and allows them to adjust their eating habits so they can finally reach their weight-loss goals. Unlike popular diets that result in significant loss of lean body mass, the Hunger Free Forever program is most often accompanied by an increase in lean body mass and preservation of metabolic rate. The weight that does come off is fat, not muscle.
Second, we reestablish your body's sensitivity to insulin. |
| Each of these keys will be discussed fully in subsequent chapters where you will gain an in-depth appreciation of just how interconnected they are in controlling the appetite and taming the monster within.
The Seven Keys to Hunger-Free Weight Loss
1. Restore Blood Sugar Stability
2. Develop Eating Strategies for High Satiety
3. Transform Your Habits, Transform Your Life
4. Reduce the Effects of Stress and Cortisol
5. Tone Your Muscles, Train Your Heart
6. Rev Up Your Metabolism

| Cortisol also adversely affects appetite and promotes the craving of carbohydrates by lowering brain serotonin levels. þ5-HTP can raise brain serotonin levels helping to reduce carbohydrate cravings, promote satiety, and produce effective weight loss. þRelaxation exercises are easy-to-learn techniques that quiet the mind and promote the relaxation response. þL-theanine is an amino acid from green tea that reduces stress, improves the quality of sleep, and reduces food cravings. þEffective time management is a critical goal to reduce stress. |

| The promise is that by inhaling this protein, your appetite will be reduced. You will automatically eat less. And of course, you will begin to lose weight even without trying. That's how the thinking goes, anyway. It's a very seductive message, but it may in fact be one that holds merit because more often than not, people who are overweight fail to control their appetites.
They find it very difficult to ignore their own body chemistry and ignore the hormones that are telling them to eat. |

| As discussed briefly in chapter 1, the principal source of this increase in appetite comes about from biochemical and hormonal changes that occur with an increase in internal belly fat (visceral adipose tissue) that occurs as you gain weight. As well, your eating habits, when unhealthy or based on poor food choices, become learned behaviors that form fixed patterns inside your brain, that will drive you to eat excessive amounts of the wrong kinds of foods, and can even evolve into obsessive or addictive behaviors that are very difficult to change. |

 If you just drink a full glass of water and have the discipline to wait 10 minutes, you will find that your appetite is either completely gone or dramatically reduced.
Your next choice, if water does not do the trick for you, is to purchase a 32-ounce quart of natural, organic vegetable broth. You can get organic vegetable broth from Trader Joe's, health food stores, or even many of the finer grocery stores that have a natural health section. The key is to get organic vegetable broth that does not contain excitotoxins. |

| Emergency appetite control food #4:
The last food is pickles. That's right, pickles. But I am not talking about the pickles you find at a regular grocery store. Nearly all pickles you find in grocery stores contain artificial food coloring. They have a yellowish tint to them that has been added through the use of chemical colors. This is not a natural ingredient and so it is something you want to avoid purchasing. |

| In this article, I will be discussing the PYY3-36 appetite Control Nasal Spray made by a company called Nastech. This is an upcoming prescription drug product still in Phase II testing that could someday offer tremendous potential to help people lose weight. But it's not all smooth sailing yet; there are some potential dangers and pitfalls along the way. Those will be discussed here as well.
The first thing to realize about this Nastech product is that it's not really a prescription drug at all, in my view. |

| Nothing gets your appetite whipped into a fury like the leg press.
The key in all this is realizing there's nothing wrong with experiencing hunger from time to time. It's a normal human response to a decrease in your consumption of calories. The problem that most people encounter when they feel hungry is they feel it's some sort of emergency. It feels like they are dying or wasting away when, in fact, the body is just signaling that it doesn't have enough calories to add new fat to the fat stores it's already carrying around. |

This is one of my favorites: I call it my "instant banana pudding" recipe, but of course, it's nothing at all like store-bought pudding. You'll need a blender for this one.
Add a quart of soy milk to the blender, then a couple of scoops of unsweetened banana-flavored simply natural spirutein soy protein powder. (Sources are listed in the downloadable book, "Secret Sources." Add stevia powder as the sweetener. |
| I have tried appetite suppressants. I have tried food combinations. I have tried meal-timing strategies. I have tried just about everything natural under the sun to eliminate those hunger pangs and food cravings that you get when you are attempting to lose weight and there is nothing that completely eliminates those cravings. Hoodia gordonii helps, as I've stated in previous articles, but it by no means turns off your hunger like a light switch. |

| Lunch
Lunch is a perfect time to take advantage of high-volume, low-calorie soups and salads. Adding PGX to the meal amplifies the volumetric and satiety effects of these foods. Or you can use the SlimStyles Weight Loss Drink Mix again as a meal replacement.
Dinner
For dinner, we want you to eat a healthy, balanced meal containing three or four food groups. Food choices should be voluminous and have a low-glycemic impact. Again we recommend you add PGX at dinner time to control overeating at night. |

| It's a synthesized version of the naturally-occurring hormone produced by the endocrine system to regulate your appetite. It's almost misclassified as a drug, although the way in which it will be used is certainly drug-like in that it is designed to alter the biochemistry of the human body.
However, because it is a naturally occurring hormone present in your body right now, it is likely to be far safer than typical prescription drugs, which are based on synthetic chemicals foreign to the human body. |

| These foods and drinks are what I call emergency appetite control foods. What these foods and beverages have in common is that they make your stomach feel like it's full of calorie-rich foods. But in reality, you are filling your stomach with foods that contain almost no calories or carbohydrates. This way, even though your stomach is full, you are not adding calories to your intake. But your body is temporarily fooled into thinking you've just woofed down a triple-plate buffet. |

 Read my book Natural appetite Suppressants for Safe, Effective Weight Loss to learn more about natural strategies that really work for reducing appetite and eliminating cravings, or you can start by consuming trace minerals and microalgae like spirulina, chlorella or blue-green algae.
Secondly, you've got to engage in regular exercise. Gee, you've heard that a million times already, right? That's because it's a necessary component of weight loss. Mark my words: There is no way to lose weight without exercise unless you're dying from some disease. |

 In vitro it has beneficial effects on fat metabolism, and animal studies have demonstrated appetite suppression and weight reduction. In human study, however, no benefit has been shown. Gymnema has also been used in ayurvedic medicine as a means of reducing appetite and losing weight. Some animal experiments suggest benefit, but no human studies have been conducted. A South African cactus Hoodia annulata has traditionally been used by the Kalahari bushmen to suppress appetite when food is short. This plant will soon be studied in a clinical trial as a weight loss aid. |

 In this part, we're exploring how hoodia works to control appetite and actually help people lose weight. Understanding hoodia is easier when you consider your own weight loss goals: how much easier do you think losing weight would be if you didn't have to battle hunger?
For most people, that's the whole solution right there. Turn off the hunger and almost anybody can lose weight. If you have absolutely no craving for food, and your body isn't tricking you into eating another tub of ice cream by creating the illusion of hunger, then you've got the problem solved. |

 DEPRESSION
Clinical depression may manifest a wide range of symptoms, but the most common are insomnia or hypersomnia, physical hyperactivity or inactivity, feelings of worthlessness, loss of interest or pleasure in usual activities, lack of energy, irritability, either poor appetite and weight loss or increased appetite and weight gain, a diminished ability to think or concentrate, and recurrent thoughts of death or suicide. |

 Others say it completely stopped their appetite, and they are well on their way to weight loss. However, the more common response I hear is that hoodia takes the edge off appetite, but doesn't take it away completely. You still have to exercise discipline to lose weight while taking hoodia.
One of the active ingredients in the herb is a chemical compound called P57, which is thought to be at least partly responsible for the appetite-suppressing effects of hoodia gordonii. |

INFLUENCE OF GLYCEMIC INDEX ON GLYCEMIC RESPONSE, appetite, AND FOOD INTAKE IN HEALTHY ADULTS
High glycemic index (Gl) diets are commonly promoted as a way to enhance appetite and promote weight gain. Support for these ideas is mainly based on the results of very short term studies done under artificial settings. So a study by Brazilian researchers published in September 2005 in the peer-reviewed journal Diabetes Care put these ideas to the test. Two groups of adults consumed either only low- or only high-GI foods for eight days under carefully controlled conditions. |
