I have been on every diet/weight loss program imaginable – Weight Watchers, NutriSystem, Jenny Craig, Slimfast, Atkins, cabbage soup, diet pills, starvation, binging/purging, exercising like a crazy person… you name it, I probably tried it. I even went so far as to have weight loss surgery.
Trust me, if there was a miracle pill that would help me to lose weight, and keep it off, I would be shouting about it from the roof tops. The truth is that there IS no miracle. To lose weight you need to exercise, drink plenty of water, consumer less calories and make smarter food and beverage choices. No pill, cookie, drink or program can replace that. You just have to make smart choices.
I do believe there are products that can help you achieve weight loss, to some degree. You still need to eat properly and exercise, but I think there are products that help you feel fuller, give you more energy and could ultimately help you on your weight loss journey.
I recently had the opportunity to try out a new beverage drop called LiquiSlim 24. LiquiSlim 24 is a water enhancer that adds not only flavor to your water, but also two ingredients that have shown to have some benefits to those trying to loose weight – Satiereal Saffron and Chromium Picolinate. I have heard of Chromium before.
Here is some additional information about the ingredients from LiquiSlim 24.
Satiereal Saffron: Saffron is a spice commonly used in cooking and traditional health remedies. Research on saffron has involved many clinical trials that suggest the spice helps in regulating mood and improving symptoms of depression, which in some cases can lead to overeating and heavy snacking.
Chromium Picolinate: Chromium picolinate (Chromax CrPic) has received much attention as a dietary supplement because good dietary sources of chromium are scarce and intake is generally low. Studies have shown chromium picolinate’s ability to help diminish carb cravings, control blood sugar levels and reduce several symptoms of atypical depression, including mood swings and stress eating.
In addition;
- Ability to take it anytime; day or night
- No caffeine or other stimulants
- No jittery side effects
- Positively affects the serotonin levels in the brain and helps prevent overeating
- Non-dairy, gluten-free and soy-free
- Manufactured in the USA
Sound good to me. But does it work?
LiquiSlim 24 comes in a small, plastic bottle, similar in shape and size to other products available on the market that adds flavor to your water.
To use LiquiSlim 24 simply add two squirts of the flavored product into 6-8 ounces of water (more or less depending on your taste) about 20 minutes before you eat. The product is supposed to help control your carb cravings and even help control blood sugar levels. It’s also supposed to help improve your mood.
Carbs are the worst for me. I crave carbs more than I do sweets. I’ll take pasta or pizza over cake and cookies any day.
LiquiSlim 24 is currently only available in a Wild Cherry flavor.
Initially the taste threw me off a bit. It does have a bit of an artificial taste to it, but after a few times drinking it that didn’t bother me anymore. I haven’t noticed an after taste yet, which is good (I don’t like any kind of an after taste).
I like that I am able to adjust how much of the LiquiSlim 24 I want to use in my water. I think having the ability to do that helps to make it taste good to you. What tastes good for me might not taste good to you, and vice versa. Having that flexibility without having to worry about taking too much of the product helps.
Have I lost weight in the past few weeks using LiquiSlim 24. No. Not really. In my defense I haven’t been exercising and admittedly I haven’t been eating a healthy diet either.
Did LiquiSlim 24 curb my cravings for carbs? Maybe. I tend to snack more at night (after dinner/before bed). That is probably the worst time of the day to eat (you shouldn’t really eat before bed). I have found that I don’t grab for Pringles or Animal Crackers (two of my favorites) like I normally do. I don’t feel an overwhelming urge to grab for them. I think the combination of the sweet flavor of the LiquiSlim 24 and drinking an 8 ounce glass of water, helps to fill me up and satisfy me.
LiquiSlim 24 does not prevent you from being hungry. It’s just supposed to help curb cravings.
If you drink water (flavored or not) about 15 minutes before any meal you’ll most likely eat less because your stomach is full of water. Sometimes people misinterpret dehydration as hunger too.
I have noticed that my mood is a bit better. I don’t feel as sluggish as I normally do. I’ve also had the energy to get some things done around our home that I have been putting off for a long time (too long!). In fact, my husband has been kept busy getting rid of all the stuff I’ve had the energy to purge from our home (recycle bin, dumpster, donate…). Whenever I mention a new “project” to him he grumbles because he knows its going to mean I’m purging more stuff.
I feel a bit happier too. Not that I wasn’t a happy person before (I was!), I just think that there is a little more of a bounce in my step. Could it be from LiquiSlim 24? Possibly.
If anything, LiquiSlim 24 helps encourage people to drink more water, which your body needs to be healthy. I never had a problem drinking water (even straight from the tap) but I know some people who find plain water “gross” and won’t drink it at all unless it’s mixed with anything. LiquiSlim 24 tastes pretty good, so it would help encourage non-water drinkers to drink more water. The more water you drink the better for your body. It fills you up, removes toxins, keeps your organs healthy and your skin healthy too.
I haven’t noticed any side effects either (no “jitters”).
Do I think LiquiSlim 24 is a great weight loss product? It’s NOT a miracle. You still need to diet, exercise, drink plenty of water (which LiquiSlim 24 helps with) and make smarter choices. But I do think it does have some merit to it. If anything to get people to drink more and maybe take the edge of carb cravings and perk up people’s moods.
I think maybe using it for a few more weeks might give me better results. I’ve only used it for a few weeks and I’m not doing my normal routine (I walk A LOT at work – I don’t go back to work until September 5th). We’ll see…
