Skinny Stix by Zantrex

Skinny Stix, What is it?

I wasn't sure what this was or what it was going to do when I signed up to try this out. Of course by the name I was thinking...fantastic Skinny here I come. It is more than just that. 

Skinny Stix is made by Zantrex. It comes in three flavors: 

  • Tangy Tangerine - a tangy orange flavor
  • Electric Lime  - my least favorite and a bit bitter
  • Berry Fusion - my favorite, berry and YUM!












This particular kit comes with a water bottle and 25 packs of skinny six  The bottles says what the Zantrex Skinny Stix is all about: weight loss, fat burning, giving you energy and focus.  
There are only 5 calories per serving and has a blend of caffeine or caffeine like stimulants the equivalent to 120 mg caffeine.


For me I definitely noticed that it does curb my appetite. I am very pleased with this result. As for energy, it is not a burst of energy that you will feel, but you will definitely fee away alert and focused. Maybe that is all in my head, but I notice a bit more tasks getting done. I feel more organized in general. 




My favorite flavor is the berry fusion flavor and I have shared this with a couple co-workers who loved the way it made them feel as well and they too have purchased this for themselves. I think that alone says a lot. They told me that it curbs their appetite as well, which is why they decided to buy it.


I have been taking this 2 sometimes 3 times a day as directed and have picked up jogging in the evening. It has definitely helped me to push in the right direction. I have quit drinking Soda. My preference is Diet Coke and well... I would drink 3+ a day and now I might drink one a week. This is a big improvement for me and my health. I have dropped 2 pounds so far. I am sure I am picking up some muscle tone as well due to the jogging, but my clothes are definitely looser and I am LOVING that! I think I needed something to encourage me and this with the constant visual reminder of having the bottle with me all day, at work, home and when I run at night is the positive reminder I needed. 
Having this bottle with me has help me to also increase my water intake as well. 

Over all I can say I am down to my last 5 skinny six and will be re-purchasing a box to replace it tomorrow. I have reviewed many things and I do not repurchase a lot, but I know this is one of the few that I am extremely pleased with and will keep on hand all the time. 


Product Description
The highly specialized, proprietary SkinnyStix formula offers powerful appetite control, mood elevation, increased energy, fat burning, stamina, and improved focus... plus SkinnyStix taste fantastic! Zantrex-3 has managed to transform an intense, super- powerful weight-loss formula into a take-anywhere powder available in Electric Lime, Tangy Tangerine or Berry Fusion, so now it’s easier than ever to lose weight whether you’re at home, at the office, or on the go.

And while the SkinnyStix formula was originally designed for weight loss, it’s become a phenomenon because people everywhere love the way it makes them feel. Many drink it before a workout for an energy boost, before heading to the office to help them focus, or in the afternoon to lift themselves out of that post-lunch slump.

Green Coffee Bean Supplement review



 I was happy to add this to my diet routine. I am currently doing a new diet regimen and exercise program. I have already lost 6 pounds and I see a great change.

Of course the combination of diet and exercise is a great combo with this. 

I notice a when I take the afternoon dose I feel great for my afternoon workout. I have enough energy to get me through my workout and it is like my day is starting fresh again. I don't have the feeling that I want to quit or I am too tired to work out. 

I am finally noticing my waist line slimming down and I am so so happy about this! No I am EXCITED about this! 


Although you have to take two capsules at a time they are so easy to swallow because they are smaller than most dietary capsules.  It is easy to swallow and there is no aftertaste after taking.

How Does It Work?

This product's weight loss effects are not caused by caffeine. The key ingredient for weight loss in Green Coffee Bean Extract is called chlorogenic acid. Chlorogenic acids works by inhibiting the release of glucose into the body, while at the same time boosting your metabolism and burning fat in the liver. These two mechanisms work together to inhibit the absorption of fat and eliminate weight gain.

Chlorogenic Acid, which is an especially strong antioxidant. Antioxidants act as sponges that stop and sop up free radicals within the body, preventing them from causing oxidative damage.

Standardized to 50% Chlorogenic Acid – No added fillers or binders.

It is worth a try and while I feel it gives me energy, it is not the energy you would think from an energy drink. It is a more awake and lively feel. As for meals I am eating 3 meals and 2 snacks a day and I am not hungry since I eat so often. I do tend to feel full easily now too. I think it works :) 

Interested check it out Green Coffee Bean on Amazon.

Garcinia Cambogia Extract Review + Giveaway

Garcinia Cambogia Extract by Natural Nutrition Labs Review + Giveaway


I have tried another Garcinia Gambogia Supplement in the past and this one differs a little but. This one has a different amount of capsules you need to take and this one has added Chromium as an ingredient which helps with curving your appetite. .
This particular one from Natural Nutrition Labs has a recommendation to take 2 caps 30 min before meals 3 times a day. This has 1000mg of the Garcinia Gambogia Fruit rind (per 2 caps) which means you will be consuming the max amount recommended per day (3000mg). This is a stronger version and I can say it definitely decreases my appetite. My only issue is remembering to take it three times per day.
My morning dose is no issue and lunch is usually not a problem, but when I get home after work I am so rushed to do everything I always forget to take it. The good thing about this particular Garcinia Gambogia extract is that you can take minimum of 1600 mg per day and it should still work for you. I am still at 2000 mg if I take it twice a day.


I am on a new diet regimen and exercise routing at the moment. I am eating more frequently and notice that when I am eating my in between meals snack, I really do not want to finish it and am full. For that I know it is working.

The only con in my opinion are that the capsule are quite large and taking two of them is a challenge.


I am currently down 4 pounds and have been taking this for two weeks and on my new exercise regimen as stated above for only 3 days as of the writing of this post.

Weight Gurus Smartphone Connected Digital Bathroom Scale


Weight Gurus Smartphone Connected Digital Bathroom Scale, Large Backlit LCD and Weightless Technology


This scale is not only sleek looking, but you can keep track of your weights
I was wondering what this could actually do for me, I mean I already have a scale, right... I can sync this to my Iphone and I can track myself and every time I go in my bathroom to weigh myself I keep it in mind through out the day that I am going to do it again and I won't forget what it was the day or days before. I notice I am more aware of what I am consuming due to the tracking on my phone. I tend to open the app and remind myself to be good. It is super simple to follow. It is super sleek to look at and it can have multiple people in the memory to weigh. Pretty cool I have to say. The additional feature I wish I could do is, track my body fat, muscle % and water%.

You can also do the Weightless mode where you are tracking how many pounds you want to loose vs your daily weight.

This is the scale straight out of the box. The label with all the writing peels right off and it is a solid place surface.

Here is what the app looks like on my iPhone 

Here is the main menu and my weight tracking. Oh gosh you guys get to see my real weight. Not easy, but am in the process and going to start a new fitness program. This is going to be grey and beneficial for me.
                 

This is how you sync the weight to your phone. 
When you step on the scale it flashes from your weight to a bar code. This is what your phone reads and translates into your weight on you phone's app.  


Product Description:
The Weight Gurus Smartphone Connected Digital Bathroom Scale was specifically designed to encourage weight loss. The Free Weight Gurus smartphone App (iOS and Android) tracks progress and chart progress to help you reach your goal (smartphone not required for scale use). Weightless technology lets you manage your weight by how much you've lost instead of how much you weigh. With Weightless, you decide how to view your weight: by the number or weightlessly by weight change. This scale includes easy-to-read extra-large, extra-bright backlit display.

Weight Gurus Smartphone Connected Digital Bathroom Scale, Large Backlit LCD and Weightless Technology:
  • Extra-large (4.3"), extra-bright backlit display
    400-lb capacity with +/- 0.1-lb resolution
    Non-slip, scratch-resistant feet
    Connects with iOS and Android Devices (smartphone not required for scale use)
    Free Weight Gurus smartphone App (iOS and Android)
    Weightless technology lets you track weight by how much you weigh (e.g. 173.4 lbs) or by how much you've lost (e.g. -12 lbs)
    Durable tempered glass construction
    4 AAA batteries required (included)
    Supports up to 8 users

Overall I am addicted to this scale and app. I was away for 10 day on vacation, but upon my return I jumped on the scale and I am still within a pound of my last weight before I left. I knew I was going to have to face myself on the scale again and it made me eat better and choose the right foods. It is a mind trick :)

Garcinia Cambogia 1600 MG Upgraded Strength 100% Pure and Premium Review + Giveaway

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. 
Garcinia Cambogia 1600 MG Upgraded Strength 100% Pure and Premium Review + Giveaway


I am still currently taking these and can't wait to see my final result.

I have heard so many things before taking the Garcinia Gambogia. It is the "miracle" weight loss pill. I have had friends that have taken it and had success, but their only complaint was them forgetting to take it 30 minutes before meals as directed. I have to admit this is challenging to do on the weekends for some reason. During the week day it is easy. I take the two capsules while getting ready for work. It takes me quite a while to get ready so I am ready to eat while walking out the door. I usually eat something that I can take with me out the door. 
Others have had to take this type of supplement before each meal. I am happy that I do not need to remember to take this more than once per day.
My initial response was nothing at first so I thought, but I noticed 2 pounds off in the first week. I began to wonder... really could this actually work? I realized I wasn't as hungry. I still snack and have my meals, but I do not feel the need to nor want to even finish my lunch. I usually can eat my lunch then go for a little snack too. Now I just have my lunch and not always finish it. 

I was so intrigued about the claims so I hunted the web for this Garcinia Gambogia. It is a fruit that is sometimes called tamarind. It is native to Indonesia and gives you the full feeling. It also helps increase seratonin levels and can help the "emotional" eaters since it helps brighten your mood. 
Garcinia Gambogia helps block fat and suppresses appetite.


What's inside Garcinia Gambogia??

Skinny Jane "Weight Loss and Nutrition for Women" Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. 
Skinny Jane is something new to me. I have never heard of it and was exited to try something new for the new year to help me go in the right direction to improve my health and work with my fitness routine. 


Product info: Skinny Blend (Shake) has a special blend of 7 proteins that will curb your appetite for up to 4 hours and energize you. One serving has 100 calories, 1 gram of sugar, 3 grams of fiber and 12 grams of protein. Skinny Blend will boost your protein intake so you keep your metabolism high while you are losing weight.

I have tried all the flavors and they are delicious. The Vanilla is my Favorite! It tastes like a Vanilla ice cream that is starting to melt. YUM! I have noticed that when lunch approaches I really am not that hungry and do not feel the need to finish off my lunch. I have had leftovers every day. It definitely curbs me appetite.

Product info: Skinny Burn is a weight loss and fat burning supplement. It has 9 ingredients that work synergistically to help speed up your metabolism, boost your energy, and control your appetite. It contains Raspberry Ketones that have been proven to be very effective in burning body fat along with other ingredients that speed up your metabolism and curb your appetite.

The Skinny Burn is taken 30-45 minutes before the shake on an empty stomach. I was nervous to try it on an empty stomach cause I normally get nausea when I take any pills on an empty stomach, but I was fine. I did not have any side effects from this and as stated above at lunch I do not feel the need to finish my entire meal. These two work great together. 

Product info: Skinny Cleanse is a great weight loss aid because it will cleanse your body by removing toxins and impurities from your system. In turn, your body will be a much better fat burning machine. This is a gentle cleanse that is very safe and does not cause any stomach discomfort.

The 1st time I took this I felt fine until the following morning and I had a not so lovely morning. I took the 2 caps as directed. I must say I have never taken any sort of cleanse product and really didn't know what to expect, but thought it would be ok since the product info says it doesn't cause any stomach discomfort. In my opinion it did what it was suppose to do, but maybe 2 caps are a bit too strong and I could not use this on a daily basis for 1 week cause I am not home and well can I leave it at that. This is something that is better to use for me when I do not need to go anywhere. I think that says a lot. 

With that all said I think each product works well with each other, but he skinny cleanse is strong for me. I will use this when I know I have no plans to leave the house. It ultimately was a good experience and it did curb my appetite. If you are looking to try something like this, I would say try it. Everyone's body responds differently to everything.
