This week, the website Nursing in Practice reported that a company called Goldshield has launched a new product to help dieters feel full up when reducing their calorie intake.
Goldshield states that Appesat works in a different way to other appetite suppressants on the market by staying in the stomach for longer.
The results in clinical studies have been positive. One clinical trial found that by taking just 3 Appesat capsules 3 times a day, overweight and obese people, lost an average of 9.4kg (20.7lb) in 12 weeks compared with 5.6kg (12.4lb) among people in the control group not taking the drug.
The product claims to train people to eat less so that maintaining a healthy weight becomes easier to achieve once the period of dieting is over.
The manufactures say that the product, Appesat, is made from seaweed extracts. It expands the stomach and stimulates hunger sensors, sending a message to the brain that the stomach is full.

Interesting news there. I spotted in the UK there is a big push on that alli product which cuts down on fat absorption. Dieters are supposed to lose an extra pound a week if they follow a healthy eating and exercise plan.
