More on weight loss
I am giving up on Red Panax Ginseng for Weight loss. It’s an appetite stimulant. I haven’t gained any weight but haven’t lost any either. Nevertheless, I didn’t take Ginseng for weight loss in the first place. it works great for revitalizing, giving me energy, removing aches and pains, keeping me calm and my feet warm. It’s great. Especially the new red panax ginseng brand I am using, which is very smooth and with absolutely no side effects that I could detect.
There is a new experiment underway and I am not sure if this is the right place to go into it. I guess I will see if people are interested and if so, I will post more about it here.
Studying in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) books and online on TCM I found out that my problem is that my body is hot-damp. So I am trying to dry it out with kidney-tonics. The main things I am taking are 1-2 garlic (1000mg) pills and 3-4 horny goat weed pills (400mg + 200mg maca extract, which is a South American adaptogen, similar to Ginseng). they make me feel warmer, I sweat less at night and, um, the horny goat weed makes me, well, like the goat, LOL. But TCM suggests that it’s the waning sex drive which contributes greatly to weight gain. Sort of like a castrated dog, literally, that was the analogy used.
It’s only been a couple of days. The goat weed is awesome in bed (trust me). As for weight loss, my hunger levels seem to have gone down but I am still eating a lot out of “habit.” I will report my findings here, as I said, if anybody is interested or if they are so phenomenal that I just have to tell somebody – just like with the ginseng.
