Seaweed is new weight loss weapon?
by Hannah McLaverty-Williamson
Seaweed could be the new secret weapon used by those wanting to lose weight.
Experts believe that adding extracts of seaweed to high-calorie and high-fat foods such as junk food, could make people healthier and assist in weight loss.
The claim comes as a seaweed weight loss pill, which absorbs body fat and suppressed appetite, becomes available to buy in Britain. The supplement, produced by a company called Arctic Diet is produced from Norwegian seaweed called Fucus Vesiculosus, which is more commonly known as a bladderwrack.
Arctic Diet is said to work by reducing the person's appetite and daily calorie intake. It claims it can help users reach their ideal body weight, as the pill is coupled with fat burning properties. The Arctic Diet seaweed is said to reduce a person's calorie intake by seven per cent.
Angela Dowden who works as a nutritionist, told the Daily Express: "If they have formulated a proper product and it has the seven per cent reduction result, they are worth having. But the dosage must be right. You can get similar results by making small changes in your diet, like eating only eggs for breakfast.
"It is not a stand alone miracle thing. It is perhaps part of the solution," she added.
There are a number of methods that can be used to aide weight loss. Experts often warn consumers against diet pills and weight loss supplements as most have little effect on a person's weight. Clinical hypnotherapy is an increasingly popular weight loss technique as it retrains the unconscious mind, where a person's beliefs about food are held. Paying more attention to what you eat and exercising regularly are two other successful methods for losing weight that are highly recommended.
