Going on a diet and losing weight doesn't have to mean going hungry. Although it may seem like losing weight means going on a diet and being hungry, it doesn't have to be like that. If you choose to lose weight healthily with support from the right products, then you can easily control your hunger and lose weight. So what's the secret? How can I lose weight without feeling hungry? The answer is appetite suppressants.

 

What Are Appetite Suppressants & Are They Safe?

Hunger often leads to bad snacking habits, cravings, and overeating. If you can't control your hunger you're going to struggle losing weight. Appetite suppressants are designed to help you to control your hunger, which helps you to lose weight. They can help you to feel fuller, less hungry, crave less, and support weight loss. But are they safe?

To answer this, we need to consider the different types of appetite suppressants and how they are made.

Prescription Appetite Suppressants

Prescription level appetite suppressants are designed to affect your brain by increasing the levels of the hormone serotonin. This, in theory, should help to regulate your appetite. But because this type of appetite suppressant alters your hormones, their effectiveness and safeness have been widely debated.

Natural Appetite Suppressants

Natural appetite suppressants are much safer to use because they are made using natural foodstuffs. Slendesta®, for example, is one type of natural appetite suppressant that is made from potato protein extract. This potato protein works not only because the potato is rich with filling fibre, but also because this protein extract also contains proteinase inhibitor II (PI2), which has been proven to reduce food intake. And because it is a natural potato extract it's 100% safe. There are no stimulants, jitters, bloating, or other discomforts involved!

 

Do Natural Appetite Suppressants Work?

Appetite suppressants aren't going to make you lose 10 pounds in a day. But that isn't what they are designed for. They are designed to keep you feeling full. They suppress your appetite so that you can reduce how much food you eat in order to lose weight.

When Slendesta is paired with the proper weight loss nutrition plan you can to lose up to one to two pounds each week. Healthy weight loss of one to two pounds a week is sustainable. And with Slendesta it becomes a possibility because you won't feel the temptation of constant hunger and cravings pushing you to fall off the wagon.

Sarah lost more than 40 pounds with the help of the appetite suppressant, Slendesta! She says that it helped her say no to snacking and treats.

 

 

How To Take Appetite Suppressants

Unlike a prescription appetite suppressant, natural suppressants are available to take in different forms.

Meal Replacement Shakes

Meal replacement shakes are powders that are designed to be mixed with water and had instead of a meal.  The exante Shake meal replacement shake range contains the appetite suppressant, Slendesta, which keeps you full for up to 3 hours. And with only around 110 calories per serving (depending on the flavor), you can add mix-ins and other ingredients to create delicious smoothies and shakes without exceeding your calorie goals.

Drinks

If you're on the go or sitting in the office, you might find hunger creeping in too often to be snacking. So appetite suppressants can also be found in specially designed, low-calorie drinks. exante Boost is just 5 calories a serving and contains the appetite suppressant, Slendesta, which keeps you full for 3 hours. It also contains other natural extracts and vitamins to give you an energy boost.
