Candy company develops appetite-suppressing lollipop

According to The Telegraph, a Canadian candy company has launched a lollipop that contains extracts of cactus, garcinia cambogia, guarana and other ingredients, claiming to be effective in suppressing appetite. In addition, it also emphasizes sugar-free and low-calorie, and the flavors are more diverse, from cappuccino, cheesecake, apple pie to ordinary flavors such as strawberry and cream. It can be said that there are a wide variety of flavors that make people love it.

According to reports, the manufacturer of this appetite-suppressing lollipop claims that if consumers eat one before meals every day, they can effectively reduce their appetite, control their weight, and even have a slimming effect. What is curious is that this lollipop is very popular in Europe and the United States. It can be found in health food stores in the United States. Even the British are secretly ordering it online before the product is licensed by the British government.

Are lollipops effective for weight loss? Foreign experts are reserved

Foreign health experts are reserved about the industry's emphasis on the effectiveness of this lollipop, as there are very few research reports on whether cactus has the effect of suppressing appetite. In 2005, the health column of Time Magazine published a report that explored weight-loss tablets and capsules made from cactus and found that cactus has an impact on liver health. Since many obese people consume it, it may cause other complications.

Losing weight does not rely on a single food, natural ingredients are better

Domestic nutritionist Wang Zinan reminds everyone that although studies have shown that guarana can stabilize blood sugar, there is no evidence that the other two ingredients have the effect of suppressing appetite. Especially since candies are processed foods, if they are mixed with other artificial additives for the sake of flavor, it may not help you lose weight, but instead cause you to consume too much sugar and carbohydrates, which will lead to weight gain. Therefore, it is not recommended for people who want to lose weight to eat candy to lose weight.

If you want to suppress your appetite and increase your sense of fullness, it is recommended to eat natural ingredients. Nutritionist Wang Zinan suggests that you can consume low-calorie, high-fiber and high-nutrition value ingredients, such as white fungus, konjac, agar, agar jelly, etc.

【Healthy reminder】:

Relying on a single food to lose weight is doomed to fail, because the food is monotonous and unvarying, and it is easy to get bored and cannot be done in the long run. The daily calorie intake is extremely low, which is a semi-fasting diet control method. If it is implemented for a long time, malnutrition problems will occur. Moreover, if you do not change your eating habits and lifestyle after losing weight, the weight will easily return. The only way to lose weight healthily is to pay attention to a balanced diet and exercise regularly to achieve the best weight loss results.
