Does Garcinia Cambogia Really Work?

If you are like me, you are probably a little bit wary of all the claims made by the companies producing the latest and greatest supplements to help you lose weight. When it comes to Garcinia Cambogia, you are forgiven for exhibiting some skeptism –  after all, can one supplement really have that much impact?

Looking into it, it does seem like something out of a fairy tale – after all, take these little pills and the weight starts dropping off. Rationally it is hard to accept.

The truth is that there are some very real benefits when it comes to Garcinia Cambogia but it does take some time to take effect – there really is no such thing as an overnight solution to weight gain.

You still need to eat better and get the right amount of exercise. This boosts the effects of the Garcinia beautifully and helps you get into healthy lifestyle habits that will stay with you long after you stop taking the supplement. Whilst you will see some results without making lifestyle adjustments, why would you want to? After all, your sedentary lifestyle and current eating habits haven’t worked out that well for you, have they?

The way that Garcinia Cambogia works is actually quite interesting. One of the best benefits is that is suppresses your appetite. (This makes it easier to stick to that healthy eating plan.)

Some people battle with cravings for snacks that feel a lot like hunger, others battle to stop eating once they start. Here this supplement can help. As long as you look at it as an aid and not some kind of miracle cure, you’ll be fine.

What Is Healthy Eating?

Come now, you know this one – eat your 9 servings of fruit and veggies a day; have protein at every meal; and limit the amount of starches that you eat. You can have three main meals and two snacks a day, if you are hungry.

The key is to steer clear, as far as possible, of foods that are highly refined or processed. Nuts and seeds, fruit, leaner cuts of meat and whole foods are what you should be aiming to eat.

What Exercise Should I Be Doing?

The good news, you do not have to spend all day at the gym. All you need is around about half an hour of exercise a day. It doesn’t need to be intense, as long as you increase your heart rate during that time. In fact, if you are breathless and unable to speak, you are working too hard and need to dial it back a notch. Why not take the dogs for a walk or go for a quick bike ride.

To Sum Up

Garcinia Cambogia is an extremely useful aid when it comes to fighting fat, as long as you also diet and exercise whilst using it. It is helpful because it blunts your appetite – you no longer have to constantly think about eating. It also gives you the energy to exercise.
