Do you want to lose weight? Of course you do – everyone does right? But do you need to starve yourself in order to lose weight? Of course not that’s another silly question. Losing weight will make you feel hungry from time to time but it doesn’t mean that you should completely deprive yourself of food. Let’s take a look at one of the Lean and Fab ingredients – Citrin.

The key here is – appetite regulation. That’s up to the brain to decide but you can help condition it. Studies show that there are certain compounds that can aid in suppressing one’s appetite. One of which is called citrin.

 Citrin is a trademarked name from Sabinsa. It is an herbal extract from the rind of the garcinia cambogia (also known as Indian berry) plant. These fruits grow in selected regions of southern India. This is where hydroxycitric acid comes from. This is the compound responsible for reducing food intake.

When our body consumes food, it breaks down carbohydrates into glucose. The liver is responsible for checking whether the blood has sufficient glucose. Any excess glucose breaks down into fat or cholesterol.

When the glucose in our bodies reach a certain level, the brain gets signaled that the body is full thereby suppressing our appetite.  Hydroxycitic acid comes in to make sure that the citrate lyase enzyme is inhibited. This translates to fewer fatty acids being synthesized, making less fat available for storage and less fat build-up in the liver and fat tissue. In other words, there is a reduction in the conversion of carbohydrates into stored fat.

The body is able to burn calories at a rapid pace when less fat is available. Fat production is also slowed down as well. Soon, you will notice that your appetite has been curbed, your tendency to take a bite out of everything will decrease and you will feel that your energy has increased.

Aside from its primary of treating obesity, it also aids in preventing or slowing down atherosclerosis (thickening of the artery wall as a result of the accumulation of fat) and heart disease.

This is just one of the ingredients responsible for weight loss and this can be found in many dietary supplements out in the market. So what are you waiting for? Grab one and test it out yourself.
