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.

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

Slimming with Thalgo

A couple of weeks ago I received two slimming products from Thalgo.

The first one I tried was Océa Draine.

‘Encourages elimination of toxins and waste products, regulates function of the gallbladder, diuretic aids in digestion. Ideal for those who wish to start a slimming diet or cleanse their body because of dietary excesses or a change of season.’
‘Encourages elimination of toxins and waste products, regulates function of the gallbladder, diuretic aids in digestion. Ideal for those who wish to start a slimming diet or cleanse their body because of dietary excesses or a change of season.’

Océa Draine contains natural ingredients like focus brown algae, fennel and artichoke extracts that aid the body in draining and eliminating toxins.

I didn’t go on a full-on detox as I started using this product on the day that I started Adventure Boot Camp (if I did, I probably would have died! Unfit much?). The packaging of the product is gorgeous as the drink comes in 10 glass vials that are already measured for you. It has a fresh taste that is not at all unpleasant. I like that I didn’t feel tired or drained while using the product (as I mentioned I just started ABC). The biggest change was to my skin. I didn’t appreciate it at first as I had a lot of tiny bumps that appeared on my jawline. I guess it shows that my body was getting rid of toxins? Luckily they didn’t hang around too long, Afterwards my skin looked clear and healthy.

After finishing the Océa Draine, I tried out Slim 7:

'A 7-day express treatment to boost weight loss. Thalgo Slim 7 Slimming Drink provides a high concentration of plant and algae extracts in a red fruit flavor drink.'
‘A 7-day express treatment to boost weight loss. Thalgo Slim 7 Slimming Drink provides a high concentration of plant and algae extracts in a red fruit flavor drink.’

This drink contains a whole lot of natural ingredients to aid weight loss efforts. Think  fucus brown algae, guarana and green tea. And it has a lovely berry taste. This drink definitely gave me a lekker boost of energy.

I diluted both of these drinks in my water bottle I took along when training. It tasted lovely and I felt good while using them. I am impressed with the quality of Thalgo and look forward to trying more from their line.
