The power of the mind to overcome hunger

If we all had the willpower to resist our out-of-control appetites, then we wouldn't need supplements, self-help books and audio programs to help us along the way. But the reality is that many of us have a hard time knowing when to say no to that extra slice of cake or pizza, and we can use all the help we can get. The tricky part is figuring out what form of support is best for us.

There are programs like Provida that claim to hold the secret to overcoming our hunger, through a series of audio sessions and literature to educate us on making smarter eating choices. The program is supposed to be semi-interactive, since a different course of action is encouraged depending on our individual needs. But the question becomes, where do we stand after we are finished listening to the entire series? Perhaps a supplement based on Hoodia and Advantra-Z might be more practical.
