Suz, If it makes you feel more confident in your interpretation of your experience, my sensations mirrored yours. Satietrol without a doubt made me feel more full and satiated than the calories warranted. In fact, I was suprised by how well it worked. It didn't make me feel just a little more full, but it made me feel a LOT more satisfied. I'm also very skeptical by nature and generally don't fall for good marketing alone. One unanswered question I have about Satietrol: Are there any unforeseen consequences of messing with your CCK levels on a regular basis? -Robin _________________________________________________________________ Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 18, 2002 Report Share Posted July 18, 2002 Here you go, Francesca. This is from the www.hungeroff.com website under the section of info for professionals. CCK AND THE CONTROL OF FOOD INTAKE Introduction Cholecystokinin (CCK) is an eight amino acid peptide released into the bloodstream from specialized endocrine cells lining the small intestine in response to a meal. CCK contributes to digestion by stimulating pancreatic enzyme secretion and contracting the gallbladder. CCK is also an important regulator of food intake. The peptide induces a feeling of satiety or fullness by slowing down gastric emptying, activating the afferent gastric vagus and possibly by binding directly to CCK receptors in the central nervous system responsible for the control of food intake. The ability of CCK to stimulate satiety and reduce food intake makes it a potential therapeutic tool for the treatment of obesity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 18, 2002 Report Share Posted July 18, 2002 Suz: thanks. I went to the website and to iherb.com which was recommended by Robin. I notice that it already comes in a chocolate flavor (you mentioned " chocolatizing " it). Have you tried this chocolate flavor for taste? They also come in sample packets for trials at a very tiny price. This may indeed be a solution for my husband. Now I wonder why this isn't the magic " pill " as I mentioned before. Perhaps Al will have something to add. on 7/18/2002 3:41 PM, Suzanne Cart at massuz@... wrote: > Here you go, Francesca.
