African Mango Diet Review
Majority of dieters may have not heard of the African Mango Diet as it is a quite new discovery in the dieting world. The African Mango Diet has been first introduced by Dr. Oz—Oprah’s renowned doctor.
What is this African Mango?
The African Mango tree, scientifically known as Irvingia Gabonensis, bears an edible yellow fruit. The tree is naturally seen in Africa—central and West, that is. It is locally known as pure African Mango or bush mango or wild mango. Aside from the edible fruit, the tree also produces a nut which is called the dika nut. The African Mango Diet extracts is taken from the dika nut which is being studied for its weight loss capacity.
Dika Nuts as a Potent Diet Ingredient
The dika nut only contains 14% of fiber and a very high fat content. Could this be true? A lot of sources have cited that Irvingia gabonensis packs a lot of fiber that helps in the removal of cholesterol. These sources are wrong. First, one needs to understand the pathophysiology of the body and the excretory system as a whole. Remember that there are two types of cholesterol, the good and the bad cholesterol, which are the LDL (low density lipoproteins) and the HDL (high density lipoproteins), respectively. Just like an avocado, which packs a huge amount of cholesterol but more of the good cholesterol (HDL) and so is with the Dika Nuts.
It has been cited in several sources with regards to the African Mango diet that it increases the removal of cholesterol from the body. These claims can be proven by the fact that Irvingia gabonensis packs a lot of HDL, which is a very important transporter of cholesterol within the body’s circulation. Thus, it has the capacity to balance cholesterol levels and reduce heart problems.
African Mango Diet Test Results
There was a test made in order to show the efficacy of the said diet. As a result of the tests made, the subjects were seen to have lost an average of 12.3 pounds after 28 days of using the said African Mango product. Other studies that were conducted have produced a result of at least 13.1% decline in body weight of the subjects who were given the African Mango Diet for a 10-week period.
Clinical studies were also made and the results showed that the African Mango Diet suppresses the appetite of the participants which also enabled them to lessen their caloric intake leading to weight loss. Further, it was also clinically noted that the supplement was able to control the hormone leptin. This hormone is widely known as the ‘obesity-link’ hormone, since the supplement was able to control this hormone, better weight loss results were achieved.
