Garcinia Cambogia and Weight Loss

What the heck is garcinia cambogia? It sounds like it’s some sort of a disease or maybe it’s the name of an Asian providence. Actually garcinia cambogia is a small pumpkin-like fruit that has some amazing properties. Garcinia cambogia is indigenous to India and parts of Asia so instead of being an Asian providence it is an Asian plant. In Indian traditional medicine, garcinia cambogia was prescribed for edema, delayed menstruation, constipation and intestinal parasites. In recent studies of the fruit it was discovered that one of its constituents is an acid called hydroxycitric acid (HCA). HCA has been studied extensively for its weight loss and metabolism capabilities. That being said it is only natural that an extract from its fruit and rind has become popular in many weight loss products. Some companies have marketed the super strength extract and touted the extreme weight loss benefits of the acid by its self. Other companies are more responsible with the product and offer it in a more natural format assuring that there won’t be any unwanted side effects.

The theory behind garcinia cambogia is that HCA inhibits an enzyme called citrate lyase that helps to turn excess carbohydrates into fat. By inhibiting the enzyme, it is believed the body instead boosts carbohydrate oxidation, or simply put, burns the extra carbohydrates. Psychologically there is an effect of the body feeling satisfied and full because of the use of the extra carbohydrates. The overall effect is a suppression of the appetite and a more efficient use of food. Simply put the body wants to store excess carbs as fat. The HCA stops that process and instead forces the body to burn the carbs. Burning the extra carbs convinces the body it doesn’t need any more food and consequently suppresses the body’s appetite. The end result is WEIGHT LOSS!!!

That seems so simple.
