If I could describe myself in two words, it would definitely be always hungry. I have always struggled with appetite control. I snack constantly throughout the day and I tend to overdo portion sizes, which has caused my weight to constantly fluctuate.
When I started working at The Vitamin Shoppe, I was able to get familiar with so many appetite-curbing options. One product that immediately stuck out to me was Healthy Delights Naturals Appetite Control Soft Chews. I didn’t want something difficult to add to my routine, so these chews sounded appealing.
So, how does appetite control work?
The soft chews claim to control appetite and cravings, and also block fat absorption. The ingredients include garcinia cambogia, as well as L-carnitine, which helps support fat metabolism.
Adding a supplement to your routine for appetite control sounds intimidating at first. The bag instructed me to eat a chew about a half hour before every meal in order for it to be effective. I was worried about how I was going to bring the entire bag with me everywhere I went, but then I saw that each soft chew comes individually wrapped in the bag, so it’s easy to take them with you on-the-go.
My favorite part about the chews: the acai berry flavor! The chews tasted like a sweet treat, making them something I actually looked forward to taking.
Giving it a go
Like any new addition to a diet, it took a few days for me to notice a difference. I found that by the third day of popping chews, I finally noticed something. Though I still craved snacks (after all, that’s a hard habit to break), I felt fuller faster.
I also found my meal portion size went down. Usually I would eat a salad at lunch every day, but would be starving within the next hour. Once the chews started taking effect, I was able to feel fuller longer.
My appetite finally had structure, and it made all the difference for me. I cut down on junk food, and I didn’t feel bloated due to overeating at meals.
Final Thoughts
These soft chews helped me gain control of my hunger, and I actually feel like I know what it is to feel full now. It has made such a difference in my eating habits, and I honestly don’t want to turn back.
I highly recommend trying these if you have even the slightest difficulty in controlling your appetite, because they helped me gain perspective on my eating habits.
