A New Weigh to a new me?

In an effort to get my ass in gear, I have posted about my weight loss plans before.  I thought that if I put it out there, then I would be shamed into really doing something about my weight. Ja well, it hasn’t worked thus far. I am a lot fitter than I was a couple of months ago, and I am really enjoying being more active. But the weight… I have lost a couple, and then gained them back. So here I am, still 20kgs overweight. Really?!

I’ve been given the opportunity to join A New Weigh’s Fat to FIT Challenge and next Monday is D-day. I am looking forward to it, but I am nervous as hell. I hope that with the support from Gaelyn and the other participants that I will make it work this time. I have to. This is not just about my appearance, it’s about my health.

There is still time for you to join in as well. As Gaelyn says… let’s get awesome!

I will be sharing my journey on the blog, on Twitter and Instagram. Shaking in my boots while typing those words…

Wish me luck!

SKINNY Green Coffee

The only way to lose weight and get the fit and healthy body you want, is by eating sensibly and exercising. I know that. I also know that it is easier said than done. If I find a product to help me on this journey and make it a little easier, I will be damn sure to grab it with both hands.

I introduce one that works for me: SKINNY Green Coffee

This is what SKINNY says about the ingredients that make up the brew (they can say it better than I can):

SKINNY Green Coffee or Coffea Canephora is made from raw unroasted coffee beans that are rich in both Caffeine and Chlorogenic Acid. These compounds help boost the metabolism and inhibit Gluconeogenesis or fat absorption.
Our formulation Includes Evodiamine that has a thermogenic property that induces heat production and energy generation. This causes the metabolism to speed up and work harder resulting in more calories being burned.

Raspberry Ketone is an aromatic compound that reduces visceral fatty tissue and liver triglycerides.

Yerba Mate demonstrates Anti-oxidant activity, it reduces triglycerides and modulates glucose metabolism. Anti-oxidants are a necessity to fight free radicals that cause premature ageing due to stress, pollution and smoke in modern living.

In short, SKINNY is a natural weight loss aid that helps your body to burn fat while giving you an energy boost.

I was very keen to try this product as I drink coffee every day in winter and I didn’t mind substituting a cup or two with SKINNY. The taste isn’t bad at all. It’s actually quite pleasant. If you are expecting a latte, you will be disappointed though. I make it like I would a normal cup of instant coffee – no sugar with a little milk. It isn’t very strong, which is good for those who don’t like strong coffee, and it has a slight sweet aroma and taste to it. I first tried a cup after workouts, and to be honest I didn’t experience a huge difference in my energy levels. I am already on quite a high after I exercise. Then I tried it when I hit my afternoon slump at about 15:00. It works like a charm! It gave me an awesome energy boost and got rid of my cravings. Not sure if it satisfied a craving, or if it was a mental thing, but it stopped me from raiding the office fridge. And that’s a good thing either way. I am really impressed with this product and it works for me. Especially on days when I feel like I have no energy and I want to eat everything in sight. I will be placing my SKINNY order soon.

SKINNY is not cheap, but you save the more you buy:  1 pack (contains 14 sachets) retails for R210, 2 packs go for R400 and 4 packs for R760.

You can buy SKINNY Green Coffee online or check the site for stockists HERE.

Always remember to consult your doctor before trying any slimming products and do not use SKINNY Green Coffee if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
