Healthy Weight loss with Satiatrim

Have you ever wondered why some foods make you feel fuller than others? The main reason is that certain foods move more slowly through the stomach. The slower your stomach empties, the fuller you feel. Satiatrim is the first diet product that increases fullness by slowing the movement of food in your stomach, so you feel fuller with less food and lose weight.

Most people know intuitively that feelings of fullness are generated from the stomach. When you eat, your stomach distends, or stretches. The distension of your stomach activates your appetite control switch, which tells you to stop eating and diminishes hunger until it is time to eat again. This is how your appetite switch is turned off. When food enters your stomach it stimulates the release of a protein called cholecystokinin, or CCK. When CCK is released, the first thing it does is close down the valve from the stomach into the GI tract. This slows the movement of food from the stomach, producing a feeling of fullness, or satiety. Because of its effects, CCK is sometimes referred to as the "feel-full" protein.

The unique properties of CCK were discovered over 40 years ago when researchers at Cornell and Columbia universities demonstrated that injecting CCK into humans reduced appetite up to 20%. In the last 40 years there have been thousands of studies showing the effectiveness of CCK in controlling appetite.

When the Appetite Control Switch Doesn't Work

The appetite control switch was designed to work best with the natural foods that humans ate exclusively thousands of years ago. Many of the processed foods we eat today are far more calorically dense than those natural foods, meaning they contain more calories in less space.

According to Dr. Steven Peikin, Professor of Medicine, Cooper Union University Hospital, and author of The Complete Book of Diet Drugs, "Unfortunately, these processed foods enable us to eat more calories than our bodies need before the appetite control switch gets activated. It is not unusual for an individual to eat a fast food meal of 1,000 calories in less than 10 minutes. But it takes more than 10 minutes for food to stimulate enough CCK to make you stop eating. Thus, when you eat high-calorie processed foods, you can easily overeat before CCK begins to work and you feel full."

To make matters worse, as we become overweight, our excess fat contributes to the problem because people who are overweight have a less sensitive response to CCK.

The Search for a New and Different Weight Loss Product

Ever since the feel-full protein was first discovered, scientists have searched for ways to create a weight loss product that would stimulate CCK, slow the movement of food in the stomach, and produce fullness with minimal calories. That search culminated in the development of Satiatrim, a 50-calorie sugar-free beverage containing a patented combination of specific proteins, a small amount of fatty acids and calcium. Multiple studies have shown that Satiatrim works by releasing CCK. Drinking Satiatrim before a meal—even a fast-food meal—turns off your appetite control switch before you start eating so you feel fuller even though you are eating less. The action of Satiatrim also keeps you hunger-free until you eat again. And because Satiatrim restores your body's natural gastric pacing, it makes any healthy weight loss plan more effective.

Clinical Proof

The nutritional technology on which Satiatrim is based has been extensively tested over the last ten years. The technology has received five patents with additional ones pending. These studies have focused on how Satiatrim works and on its effect on appetite and caloric intake. A number of these studies have already been published and a new study conducted at the University of Manchester in Manchester, England will be presented at this year's meeting of the North American Association for the Study of Obesity. These studies show:

• Satiatrim decreases caloric intake up to 20%
• The effect of Satiatrim is mediated through CCK
• Satiatrim extends the feeling of fullness for up to four hours after eating a fixed-calorie meal
• Satiatrim reduces gastric emptying by up to 66% (see chart)

The long search for a healthy and effective weight loss product is over. Satiatrim is the first diet product proven to enhance fullness and reduce eating by slowing the movement of food in the stomach. And the best thing about Satiatrim is that it works with any type of food, so it makes any diet more effective.
