LunchThe latest big news in weight loss therapy is what everyone has been looking for, a pill that helps fight weight gain and claims to assist in supressing appetite. I went out today and bought a bottle of gardenia cambogia to do my own clinical trial.
Someone sent me a link to a Dr. Oz show about an Asian/India fruit extra that is all the rage these days. Needless to say I am skeptical about it's claims to reduce appetite, and prevent fat cells from forming. Supposedly this extract also targets the fat in the abdomen, which everyone knows is the hardest area to loose weight. It is for me.
The doctor that is championing this product is Dr. Julie Chen. She has done studies on real people, and swears by her findings. Dr Oz, the popular TV personality, seems to be impressed with the findings, and dedicated a whole show to the subject.
So, the link that I found that explains this newest weight loss fad is thegarciniacamogia.org. I will take the recommended dosage, 1000 mg, of this extract for two months everyday, and let you know the results. Besides the 25 dollars it cost me I don't have much to loose by trying it. I will not change what has worked for me thus far. You still have to retrain the brain. According to Dr. Chen this product also does that as well. Again, not only am I skeptical, I don't believe it for a minute.
I must stress that I don't believe in quick fixes and snake oils. No matter who's selling them. I also strongly believe these quick remades can do much more harm to people than good. It's our nutritional habits, our relationship to food, and our addiction to processed fast foods as a nation that has to be changed.
My current weight is 215 pounds as of this morning. My monthly goal is 5 pounds weight loss. If this extract can help me do better than that in one month than I'll be on board the garcinia cambogia train.
That's it.
Peace,
