There are many fads in weight loss methods, from the Atkins diet to phen-phen and everything in between. Some of them seem to live up to the hype and some don’t. A new, trending weight control aid is alkachofa supplements. This trend started in Mexico and is now becoming more and more popular in the United States. But the real question is, “Does alkachofa really help you lose weight?”
Alcachofa supplements are mainly based on artichoke extract. How does the artichoke extract in Alkachofa help you lose weight? The main way Alcachofa products help you lose weight is by helping to remove excess water from the body. Due to various reasons, the human body tends to retain water thus making us feel bloated. This also gives us additional water weight. Artichoke is a naturally occurring diuretic so consuming alkachofa flushes out excess water present in our body. Without that much extra water in our bodies, we lose inches because our bodies are less bloated, and we lose pounds because we can no longer carry all that water weight.
Now losing inches and pounds is great, but most of us are interested in losing fat, not just water. The basic premise of losing fat is that we burn more calories than we eat. Even if we can lose as much water weight and size as possible, our body fat can still increase if we eat more calories than we burn. So in terms of losing fat, alkachofa supplements that contain only artichoke extract as the active weight loss ingredient are insufficient. They will help with water weight, but not fat loss. Alcachofa supplements will work best when combined with other ingredients that really help you lose fat. Two other naturally derived plant extracts that may help with this are African Mango and Bitter Orange.
As mentioned in the previous paragraph, to lose fat, we must burn more calories than we eat. And for many of us, this is a difficult feat! Unlike Artichoke Extract which deals with water weight, African Mango Extract actually contributes to losing fat. African Mango Extract helps to increase the body’s metabolism by increasing the energy used by the body. This means that if you consume African mango extract, your body will burn more calories than normal. And in addition to helping you burn more calories, African Mango Extract also helps suppress your appetite, so you eat fewer calories than usual. This makes African Mango Extract an excellent aid in losing weight because you burn more calories than normal and consume fewer calories than normal.
Another natural plant extract that may help with fat loss is Bitter Orange Extract. Bitter orange extract, like African mango extract, also helps suppress appetite, helping you consume fewer calories. But unlike artichoke extract that helps you lose water weight and unlike African mango extract that increases the amount of calories your body burns, bitter orange extract not only helps you eat less, it Actually helps in breaking down body fat directly. One important thing to note with bitter orange extract is that it contains stimulants, so you should consume it earlier in the day so it doesn’t interfere with your sleep.
In conclusion, alkachofa is an effective method for reducing water weight and size, but it is ineffective for fat loss. Other natural active weight loss ingredients that are more effective for fat loss are African Mango and Bitter Orange. So an effective combination to lose inches and pounds more quickly is to mix Alkachofa, African Mango and Bitter Orange together to target weight loss in all directions: expelling excess water, reducing appetite, burning more calories and fat burn.
