A NEW diet pill which aims to “train” people to want less food has gone on sale.
Appesat, which is made from extracts of seaweed, works by expanding in the stomach and stimulating hunger sensors in the stomach wall. These then send a message to the brain saying the stomach is full.
Appesat sits in the stomach for three or four hours, continuing to suppress appetite, before being fully digested by the body.
Over time, this stimulation, coupled with a lower calorie intake, is said to help “train” people to want less food.
