The African Mango Diet Increases The Metabolism

By Richard Parker


The African mango diet has increased in popularity since being recommended on the Dr. Oz show. People who take the safe, natural herbal supplement capsules can lose up to thirty pounds in just eight weeks. The pills accelerate the metabolism while controlling hunger for practically effortless weight loss.

Irvingia gabonensis, the African mango, grows in the Guinean rain forests. Local tribes eat the fruit and grind its seeds into flour for bread. It has been found to promote weight loss and improve overall health. Pills made with an extract taken from the seeds will boost the effectiveness of any low calorie diet. Amazingly, people who took the supplements in research studies lost weight even without restricting their food intake or increasing their exercise.

Irvingia gabonensis contains high amounts of soluble fiber which slows down the absorption of blood sugar, helping dieters to feel fuller for longer. The fiber also binds with bile acids in the intestines before being excreted. This process prompts the liver to manufacture more bile acids by increasing the metabolism and burning stored fats.

The seed extract also assists weight loss by regulating the production of leptin, a hormone that controls appetite. Leptin is made in the fat cells and travels through the bloodstream to the brain. When levels are high, the brain senses the body has enough energy and hunger is abated. The brain associates low leptin with starvation and responds with cravings for high-calorie foods.

When people begin to lose weight and their fat cells shrink, leptin production normally falls. The pills ensure that leptin levels remain steady despite a decrease in stored fat. This allows people to stick to a low calorie diet without constantly feeling hungry. High leptin levels also ensure that the metabolism does not go into starvation mode and slow down.

African mango extract is more than just a dieting aid. The supplement increases production of the anti-inflammatory hormone adiponectin, reducing the risk for diabetes and cardiovascular disease. It decreases levels of harmful LDL cholesterol and raises levels of beneficial HDL cholesterol. It may also help to ward off dementia.

The African mango plus herbal supplement is completely safe to use. Unlike some other weight loss pills, it does not produce unpleasant side-effects. However, people on the African mango diet should be aware that the capsules contain caffeine and therefore should not be taken before of bedtime. Dieters may also wish to cut down on their intake of coffee, tea or cola to avoid over-stimulation.
