COUNTERACT cravings with this lemony ‘kitchen secret’
You eat a healthy meal…
And practically as soon as you’re done, you start thinking about what you’ll eat for the NEXT meal.
Maybe you’ll make it till lunch or dinner without snacking…
But all too often, we CAVE IN to those cravings.
And those “between-meal” binges can make it IMPOSSIBLE to keep your weight where you want it to be.
Friend, it’s not always a matter of WILLPOWER.
There could be chemical signals in your body that are SHORT-CIRCUITING your weight-loss efforts!
But that act of SABOTAGE doesn’t have to lead to a lifetime of weight troubles.
You can fight back… with a natural appetite BUSTER and fat BLASTER.
It’s a citrus-scented herb – one that’s used most commonly for cooking and aromatherapy.
But its benefits go WAY beyond its lemony flavor and calming scent.
Lemon verbena (Aloysia citrodora) originally from South America, where they consider this culinary herb POWERFUL medicine.
It’s practically BURSTING with antioxidants… including the polyphenol compound called verbascoside.
That’s what contributes to lemon verbena’s blood pressure benefits…
And that’s just ONE of the components of lemon verbena that appears to help with weight management.
A 2015 animal study out of Spain found that lemon verbena extract helped BANISH inflammation, which is a hallmark of obesity…
IMPROVE fat metabolism…
And DECREASE fat production.
But even BETTER results have come out of studies that have combined lemon verbena with another herb – hibiscus (Hibiscus sabdariffa).
In a 2017 study on overweight gals, consuming this one-two punch helped the study subjects feel MORE satisfied and LESS hungry…
Eat LESS…
And LOSE weight!
Another study found that this combination may help REDUCE appetite by TWEAKING two of our hormones that affect our eating habits.
It appeared to INCREASE the “stop eating” hormone, GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1)…
And DECREASE the “hunger” hormone, ghrelin.
This story gets even better…
Because in a just-out study, overweight volunteers who consumed a lemon verbena and hibiscus combo felt satisfied for up to 4 HOURS after eating…
And lost fat around their middles in less than 3 months.
The product used in that study was a patented ingredient out of Spain called MetabolAid…
Which you can find in Life Extension’s Body Trim and Appetite Control formula.
A clinically studied dose is 500 mg daily.
You can also find lemon verbena on its own… especially in tea form.
If it’s from Latin America… it might be marketed by its Spanish name, “cedrón”… or “cedrón tea.”
Whichever you choose, just make sure it’s TRUE lemon verbena… and not similarly-named herbs like lemon balm… lemongrass… or vervain (Verbena officinalis).
Those are all great herbs… each with their own benefits… but they’re definitely DIFFERENT plants!
If you decide to try lemon verbena, remember that it could lower your blood pressure… so be careful before combining it with any BP-lowering meds or herbs.
Always check with your doc first to make sure it’s safe for you to try.
