Appesat - 50 capsules

The active ingredient in Appesat has been developed to be resistant to stomach acid and remain active for many hours. Taken before food, it works by stimulating hunger 'sensors' in the stomach wall, which then send a signal to the brain informing it that the stomach is full¹. Doctors believe that feeling full (satiation) is an essential factor in any diet for successful weight reduction. Because Appesat is active in your stomach before, during and after you eat it significantly increases the number of 'stomach full' messages your brain receives – allowing you to feel full for much longer.

Appesat allows people to successfully learn new, healthy eating habits that can then be maintained on a permanent basis. This avoids the so-called yo-yo effect, where weight is regained once the diet has ended. It also means that the amount of Appesat you take can be reduced, and stopped, over a number of weeks.

Who needs Appesat?

Any adult that:

    - Is worried about how much food they eat, and the long-term implications for their health.
    - wants to lose weight or reduce their food cravings.

1. APPEsat™ helps with appetite control

Bingeing or snacking because you feel hungry are common reasons why many diets fail - so a priority has to be to help you feel full while you are dieting.

APPEsat™ has been shown in clinical trials¹ to play an important role in helping people to feel full - people taking APPEsat™ said they felt up to four times more satisfied with the food they had eaten, compared to those who had not.

2. APPEsat™ helps with weight loss

By taking APPEsat™, this feeling full sensation can transform into weight loss. Clinical trials¹ showed that overweight people who took APPEsat™ alongside a calorie controlled diet, achieved weight losses of up to 9.4kg (1 ½ stone) in 12 weeks, compared to those on a calorie-controlled diet alone.

3. APPEsat™ means smaller portions

Clinical trials¹,² have also proved that taking APPEsat™ can help people feel full for longer, reducing the amount of food people want to eat, which means that even if you are not actively on a diet, APPEsat™ can help you maintain your weight.

If you find it hard to resist eating until you're uncomfortably full, or hunger pangs regularly cause you to snack between meals, then APPEsat™ could be right for you.

Doctors believe that feeling full (satiation) is an essential factor in any weight loss plan. If you can lose weight without feeling hungry then your chance of reaching your weight goals are increased.

Sometimes we over eat out of habit and sometimes it's just hard to ignore those cravings. Either way, APPEsat™ will help you to feel fuller for longer, so you'll find it easier to eat smaller portions and to reduce or even cut out snacking between meals.

As your body adjusts to only eating the amount of food it needs, you'll find that your desire for big meals and snacks reduces. Over time you can cut down the amount of APPEsat™ you take each day, while still losing weight. Eventually you will be able to stop taking APPEsat™ completely, and the weight will stay off because you have accustomed yourself to your new eating habits.

The secret to achieving your ideal weight is to take the long-term approach - being aware of what you eat, how you exercise and how these both impact on your body. Managing your weight and staying your best depends on taking regular exercise and eating a good mix of the foods you d to stay healthy - but do not overeat.

Don't Starve Yourself!
Starving yourself on a crash diet will only result in your weight yo-yoing, or may put you at risk of developing health problems - neither of which are good for you!

Who can use APPEsat™?
APPEsat™ is suitable for any adult with a BMI of over 18.5 who recognises that reducing the amount of food they eat will have a positive effect on their weight management.

The APPEsat™ 12 week programme

For realistic and sustainable weight loss it is recommended to devise a weight loss plan which makes gradual changes across a sufficient period of time - we recommend 12 weeks as the optimum to ensure you are making changes that you can continue long term.

"Many people find it hard to lose weight and keep it off because they only consider the short-term and fail to make an appropriate plan. To achieve sustainable weight loss you need to change eating habits and build regular exercise into your lifestyle, rather than opting for more restrictive diets that you cannot maintain over time. With the right weight loss plan you won't feel hungry or tempted to return to old habits but instead you'll feel great and full of energy."

It is important to tailor any weight loss plan to your own body's needs, taking more at the times you are likely to overeat. To support your weight loss plan further, you may find it useful to keep track of your daily food intake. Here is a link to our food & mood diary

Eventually with the aid of APPEsat™, your body will have trained itself to eat less, so as your eating patterns change and your hunger pangs diminish, you will be less dependent upon APPEsat™.
