When I read about his I was instantly intrigued. A drink that tells your stomach it is full.
The Proto-Col Slim Fizz arrived I had a strange emotional reaction. I was depressed, I wanted to eat cake. It sat there, this world defining new tool and I did not touch it. I ate cake every day. I went to a cake opening, I took home super fancy cakes that involved chocolate and green tea cream. Cherries too. I went every day to Honey & Co. for my burst of momentary pleasure. Then I could not zip up my jeans.
I turned to this tube of little fizzy things. They looked like a fizzy vitamin drink, the ones you get for hangovers. They taste vaguely of orange and if you leave them in the glass you see them turn from foam to something slippery that grows and grows. I tried one 30 minutes before my breakfast,which is usually 2 slices of toast. I only wanted one.
Portion control has always been a problem for me. Even as I tucked into my veggie stir fry lunch which was not unhealthy I just could not finish it after I had my Slim Fizz. They seem as well to have an accumulative effect. Take them for a few days in a row and you find you have drastically reduced your food intake and you are really not hungry.
It contains Glucomannan aka Elephant Yam made from the root of the Konjac plant and used for over 200 years in Chinese remedies.
It expands in the stomach but it does not make you feel bloated. Weirdly it helps digestion and may even reduce cholesterol and blood sugar. Probably because you are just not craving sugary fatty food. Proto-Col is a specialist British collagen brand and they have come up with this very clever product. Research says that those taking it lost 10 pounds in 16 weeks without making any other lifestyle changes.
I think that weight loss could actually be more.
I have been eating normally just less. Once sugar goes out of your system you don`t crave it so with a bit of an effort to eat healthily as well as less I imagine the results will be spectacular.
Now I don’t want to be with out Proto- Col Slim Fizz at all!
