Appetite Suppressant Tea & Yerba Mate Weight Loss

Yerba Mate Weight Loss! Yerba mate helps eliminate feelings of hunger by working as a natural appetite suppressant tea.  It could become the most important tool for your weight loss goals.

Yerba Mate Acts as an Appetite Suppressant Tea

In Europe and Latin America, Yerba Mate has long been used for weight loss “as the ideal slimming remedy which facilitates losing weight in a natural way and stills the distressing feelings of hunger,” according to Max Witchl in Herbal Drugs and Phytopharmaceuticals.  Researchers at the University of Surrey in Guildford, England confirmed what millions of users experience, a reduction in appetite when using Yerba Mate.

The appetite suppressant qualities are achieved by learning how to drink yerba mate with the special extraction techniques that flood your body with nutrients, thus satiating the body’s desire for food. WebMD’s Dr. Gary Vogin notes that some diets, like a Juice Diet, fail to include enough essential nutrients. He states, “Juice diets prevent your body from going into ketosis, but they’re not a long-term weight-loss solution because they deny the body other essential nutrients.” Yerba Mate in conjunction with juice would provide more nutrients than juice alone. Consider adding Yerba Mate to your diet approach in an effort to make it a more reliable “long-term weight-loss solution."

Regions of the world have survived drought by using yerba mate with the mate gourd and mate straw. The popular Chilean herbalists J. Zin and R. Weiss supported what Peace Corps workers had reported: They found cases in which large groups of natives remained in good health, with only one small meal per day, through extended periods of famine and drought. They survived by drinking copious amounts of yerba mate tea. Additionally, they uncovered Gauchos whose diet was all meat with only yerba mate as the vegetable. The yerba mate provided enough nutrients to act as a vegetable.  Indeed, the Gauchos referred to it as "drinking a salad."

Yerba Mate Weight Loss from Increased Calories Burned

Dulloo, A., et al. noted in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition that a drink like Yerba Mate can increase the “24-h energy expenditure and fat oxidation in humans.” (1999). Thus, more calories are burned when drinking Yerba Mate!

Yerba Mate Weight Loss Tea Improves other Weight Loss Herbs

Dr. Torben Andersen conducted a study in which overweight patients lost 11 lbs. in 45 days while using Yerba Mate in conjunction with other weight loss herbs. (Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics Volume 14 Issue 3 Page 243 - June 2001) He found that it contributed to "weight loss and delayed gastric emptying following a South American herbal preparation in overweight patients."  You can buy the world’s most popular weight loss blend online.

Obesity and overweight may soon affect more than half of the population in some regions of the world and are associated with diabetes, hypertension and other diseases that cause morbidity, mortality and high health-care expenditure. No one approach, whether dietetic management, medication, or commercial weight loss program, can alone solve the problem - all potential treatments need to be investigated and exploited. Among the herbal preparations known to non-western cultures are materials which may have applications in modulating physiological processes which influence gut motility, food intake and energy balance. One such mixed herbal preparation is 'YGD' containing Yerba Maté(leaves of Ilex paraguayensis), Guarana (seeds of Paullinia cupana), and Damiana (leaves of Turnera diffusa var. aphrodisiaca). This study had two distinct aims: to determine the effect of a herbal preparation 'YGD' containing Yerba Maté, Guarana, and Damiana on gastric emptying, to determine the effect of the same preparation on weight loss over 10 days and 45 days and weight maintenance over 12 months. Methods Gastric emptying was observed using ultrasound scanning in seven healthy volunteers following YGD and placebo capsules taken with 420 mL apple juice. Body weight was observed before and after 10 days of treatment with three YGD capsules or three placebo capsules before each meal for 10 days in 44 healthy overweight patients attending a primary health care center. Forty-seven healthy overweight patients entered a double-blind placebo-controlled parallel trial of three capsules of YGD capsules before each main meal for 45 days compared with three placebo capsules on body weight. Body weight was monitored in 22 patients who continued active (YGD capsules) treatment for 12 months. Results The herb preparation YGD was followed by a prolonged gastric emptying time of 58 ± 15 min compared to 38 ± 7.6 min after placebo (P=0.025). Body weight reductions were 0.8 ± 0.05 kg after YGD capsules compared to 0.3 ± 0.03 kg after placebo capsules over 10 days, and 5.1 ± 0.5 kg after PGD capsules compared to 0.3 ± 0.08 kg after placebo over 45 days. Active treatment with YGD capsules resulted in weight maintenance of the group (73 kg at the beginning and 72.5 kg at the end of 12 months). Conclusions: The herbal preparation, YGD capsules, significantly delayed gastric emptying, reduced the time to perceived gastric fullness and induced significant weight loss over 45 days in overweight patients treated in a primary health care context. Maintenance treatment given in an uncontrolled context resulted in no further weight loss, nor weight regain in the group as a whole. The herbal preparation is thus shown to be one that significantly modulates gastric emptying. Further clinical studies with dietetic monitoring of energy intake, dietary quality, satiety ratings, body weight and body composition are now indicated, and examination of the active principles contained in the three herbal components may prove rewarding.
