Morning, has anyone tried this for a weight loss boost?

It's the active ingredient from the overpriced boom bod.

It's cheaper to buy it on its own. Apparently taking 1g 3 times a day before meals helps lose weight.

I've been on it since Friday and it definitely helps you go and I've not been eating as much (could be placebo effect though).

Oooh I've wanted to try this! Glad to hear a good review. I've heard mixing it in with a protein shake can cause it to take on a nice pudding like texture :)

I'll let you know if I lose any weight...

I take 1g with water 30 mins before a meal. I feel fuller and eat less, so we will see.

I bought a months supply for £12 on Amazon.

Nice thank you! Do you know if you have to take it near a meal? I do IF so feeling full after eating isn't a problem but I sometimes get mid afternoon cravings that I'd like to tackle!

I think that would be ok, as long as you take it with water.

You may already know this but it works by expanding into a gel in your stomach which makes you feel full. Each tablet (1/2 gram) with a 300 ml glass of water should swell up to the size of an egg.

I am going to try this, how are you getting on @OliviaBensonsEyebrow and @Bloodybloods?

I just get so hungry all the time and hope this may help with that.
