Are there natural options to prescription drugs like phentermine that suppress appetite?
The best choice for people looking to lose weight is green tea extract. Green tea extract contains caffeine, which stimulates metabolism. It also contains epigallocatechin galate (EGCG), which aids in fat burning by stimulating thermogenesis.
Green tea also contains antioxidants that fight free radicals and help protect against damage caused by stress and oxidation.
However, you should know that green tea does nothing to cause weight loss. It simply increases your body’s efficiency at burning calories.
Although green tea may help with weight loss, you should still be careful about how much you eat.
L-Carnitine supplementation is also an option. This amino acid boosts energy levels and promotes muscular growth. The downside is that it doesn’t curb your appetite, so you still need to eat regular meals.
Can I eat carbs while on the Ketogenic diet?
You can eat carbohydrates when on the Ketogenic Food Diet. But, limit them to a very small amount. Instead, focus on eating high-fiber veggies like broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, kale, zucchini, peppers, cucumbers, celery, tomatoes, onions, etc. These will fill you up without adding unnecessary calories.
You should also eat lots of nuts, seeds, avocados and coconut oil. These foods are high in saturated fats, which are necessary for ketosis.

African Mango: Nutrients. Benefits. And Downsides
Mangoes are an exotic fruit that was grown in tropical climates. They are now grown worldwide. Mangoes are nutritious fruits high in vitamin C and potassium. They also contain fiber, calcium, iron, and magnesium. They also contain antioxidants such lutein and lutein as well as lutein, zeaxanthin (lycopene), alpha-tocopherol and beta-carotene.
The mango tree does best when it is between 15degC (59%degF) to 30degC (86%degF). Mangoes will turn yellowish green when fully ripe. The flesh of the mangoes is soft and juicy when it’s unripe. However, it becomes firmer after ripening.
Mangoes are used to make jams. Mango pulp is often added to Indian curries, rice dishes, and stir-fried veggies in Thailand. Mangoes are eaten fresh, dried, candied, frozen, or canned.

Mangoes have been used as a remedy for diabetes since ancient times. Today, mangos are cultivated throughout the world. Mango trees can be grown in many different varieties including Alphonso.
Mangoes have a high water content and low calories which can help you shed weight. Medium-sized mangoes have about 100 calories per serving and only 3g of fat. This makes them one of the healthiest fruits around.
Mangoes are also packed with vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, C, E, K, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, copper, manganese, folate, pantothenic acid, niacin, thiamine, riboflavin, and biotin.
