Weight Loss and Red Panax Ginseng Revisited

If you have read my last post, you will know that red panax ginseng is not necessarily the best thing to take for weight loss.  Or so I thought.  Here is the thing.  About a week ago I decided to go on a diet to lose my excess baggage.  I have gone on diets before and some even had lasting effects but they were all some form of calorie restriction or another.

With ginseng, I did not gain any weight pretty much no matter what I ate (lots of Pizza still does the trick, it’s like cheese is designed to stick on you!).  When I reduced my caloric intake, I noticed something wonderful  I can’t help but think red panax ginseng was the reason, too.  What it is is that though my appetite is very healthy on ginseng, if I don’t eat, I don’t get nearly as hungry as I used to without the red panax ginseng.  Strange but it seems to regulate blood sugar and energy so that on low food intake, I still function very well.

It’s only been a week and I will give you updates as things develop, but I have already lost 4 pounds.  It’s not unusual to lose that much on your first week – I know that from my previous diets.  But I have never had such an easy time losing it.  If you have ever dieted before with a calorie restriction diet (Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, these are all modified calorie restriction diets), you know that the first week is the hardest.  Not on ginseng!  Energy stays up and I keep so busy, even the mental habit of eating a lot does not kick in.

This has got to be the best tonic in the world.  That’s all I have to say.

There is a side note I have to mention here.  My dad is 74 years old.  He is in good health but every time I saw him, especially in the evening, he looked more like he was asleep than awake.  I told him to take some ginseng and after a few days when I saw him it was around 8pm and his legs were bouncing – like he used to be when I was younger.  His eyes were wide awake and he was smiling with a lot of energy.  Also, my wife, who does not take anything but generic pain killers occasionally, had this horrible back pain and I convinced her to take a vial of 6000mg red panax ginseng extract.  Her back pain disappeared within 24 hours.  Just one dose!

Anyways, in case you didn’t notice, I am a fan.
