		<title>Garcinia cambogia and weight loss</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The use of garcinia cambogia has been growing rapidly in the United States due to the desire of people to lose weight. The United States has the most obese population in the world, and many Americans would love to find "magic bullets" for weight loss. However, the cornerstone to good health is wise food selection and exercise. If these are coupled with good ergogenic (metabolic enhancing) products, then success at maintaining proper weight is more likely to be long lasting because it will become a lifestyle.

Unlike appetite suppressant drugs, garcinia has no CNS stimulant activity. Preliminary research indicates that it may modulate blood fat levels and have a positive effect on energy and metabolism.

The appetite-suppressant mechanism of garcinia is thought to be due in part to the production of glycogen in the liver and small intestine. The conversion of carbohydrates to fat requires the enzyme, adenosine triphosphate citrate lyase. Garcinia temporarily inhibits this enzyme. At the same time, the liver produces more glycogen and this sends a satiety signal to the brain. Obese individuals have less glycogen storage and more triglyceride storage than thin individuals. The storage mechanism for glycogen in the peripheral muscle tissue is thought to be defective in obese and patients with Type 2 diabetes.]]></description>
