THERE are countless weight loss products, systems and fad diets on the market, making the one claim boasting quick weight loss.

However, to achieve the proper objectives and results in weight loss, one must change lifestyle and eating habits. Yes, there are natural supplements that will assist, but they must not be used in isolation.

One such supplement is Garcinia Combogia, a small pumpkin-shaped fruit found primarily in southern Asia and India. This prized fruit has been used in those countries for culinary purposes as it was discovered to combat obesity and control weight gain.

The rind of the fruit is the primary source of ingredient known as Hydroxycitric Acid (HCA). The fruit is also known as Malibar Tamarind and has also been used in India to enhance food flavours.  HCA, when taken directly, enters the digestive system and creates a full feeling, which in turn helps to curb and control the appetite.

Garcinia, produced by Forever Living Products, a leading company in natural health products, also contains chromium which is essential for proper metabolism. Other ingredients in this product are safflower, known for cardiovascular benefits, and thin oil, a metabolism booster. This product is considered the new weapon in the fight against fat.

Nowadays this product is sought after and is guaranteed to work once used properly with a well planned and balanced diet, including exercise. One of America’s most popular doctors on one of his television shows recently expressed confidience in Garcinia.

Another popular American doctor has done a special report on the product and has implemented the “Fat kills” slogan centred around his campaign. He reiterates that fat suffocates vital organs and weighs down on tissues; obesity predisposes, causes heart disease and cancer which together are responsible for the death of 80 per cent of Americans annually .Research suggests that Garcinia not only burns fat but keeps it off. There is no strain in weight loss with this product when used in conjunction with a sensible diet and a regular exercise programme.

It is common knowledge that fad diets and diet pills only work for a time. Poor eating habits, such as eating late at night and eating the wrong foods, will cost our health.
