Slimming Down on the Cactus Diet 

 

 

Half the country is overweight by all measure, and there are thousands of ideas out there about how to lose weight safely, but the Surgeon General says the best is the simplest, eat fewer calories than you expend.

In our super-sized society, we all know how difficult that can be. But what if you could simply eat a natural food that actually curbed your appetitive, lowering your caloric intake?

According to a recent clinical study, a cactus discovered in South Africa that has been consumed for centuries as a matter of survival, may be that food.

The Kalahari is 100,000 square miles of South African desert. The San bushman here have survived for centuries by eating a succulent called Hoodia to stave off hunger pains during long hunting trips. What they have known for generations, researchers are just proving to be true. This Hoodia cactus kills the appetite.

Dr. Richard Goldfarb is the Medical Director of a Philadelphia Clinical research facility, which is testing a powder form of the South African Hoodia plant. The first clinical studies just completed showed that by ingesting Hoodia Dex-L10 one hour before meals, appetite was stifled significantly.

Nowadays, instead of using the Hoodia just to survive, the San bushmen, and the slimming cactus business are flourishing in the barren Kalahari desert.
