Hi Everyone ! I wrote the website asking if taking this supplement without appetite suppressants helps their clients stay full and not overeat. I am waiting for a response, which they are good at doing.
My question for everyone here is have any of you tried this fill pill and did/does it work for you?
As for my personal experience, the Fill Pill DOES work... and works well without all the jittery, skin crawling and mood flopping that most other appetite suppressants offer. It's a great addition to the LipoBC pill or the B6/B12/Lipo injections. The Fill Pill is honestly stuff and MDS is a very safeSafe driving for teens Safe sex place to buy from.
Im taking the Fill Pill from TheFillPill.com. I have been taking it for two weeks and I have already dropped 3 pounds without feeling hungry. I have had a really good experience with the Fill Pill. It has helped settle my stomach, and eliminate my constipation.
Here is their blurb on "The Fill Pill" from the website:
In addition to the amazing expanding and cleansing properties, The Fill Pill™ also contains an all natural, safe, non-stimulant appetite suppressant, which has been used in India for centuries. One double-blind study showed that those taking this appetite suppressant felt fuller before meals than those who didn’t, and, as a result, ate less and lost weight.
In creating The Fill Pill™, we recognized that the body and mind need certain nutrients to feel full and function properly. The body needs vitamins and minerals to be at its best, so we added just the right amount to ensure you get what you need. This includes calcium, which helps prevent osteoporosis, and vitamins. If you take 3 servings of 4 pills per day, you will get a full day’s vitamins. "
Its a different fiber than Metamucil but similar idea. I personally can't take Metamucil because I would just end up bloated and farty for days. I haven't had any problems with the Fill Pill. According to the website, the fiber they use is glucomannan. Here is their information about it:
"
Glucomannan (Amorphophallus Konjak) - Expands 50 Plus Times Its Size and has many beneficial properties including weight loss.
Glucomannan helps reduce cholesterol, maintain regularity, and promote intestinal health. It also aids in normalizing blood sugar levels, relieves stress on the pancreas, and discourages blood sugar abnormalities such as hypoglycemia.
Glucomannan...
* Collects fat from the colon wall and discharges it from the body.
* Combined with diet and exercise, Glucomannnan is helpful in a weight loss program.
* Effective at absorbing toxicity resulting from improper food combining.
Glucomannan is derived from konjac flour, which comes from the tuber of the various species of amorphophallus plants (related to the common philodendron). Konjac flour has a long history in China and Japan where it has traditionally been used as a food substance to thicken foods, much like guar and xanthan gums, and as a general health aid for skin care.
Glucomannan is a unique herb, also classified as a soluble dietary fiber, providing dietary fiber with no calories. On its way through the body, glucomannan collects and removes fat from the colon wall, thereby promoting bowel elimination; while absorbing intestinal toxins and helping to normalize blood sugar.
Glucomannan has been receiving more attention lately due to its role in weight loss. It is believed that the expansion of glucomannan in the gastrointestinal tract is a major contributing factor to weight loss. Glucomannan expands up to sixty times its own weight. This swelling causes the subject to experience a feeling of satiety; and they therefore consume less food.
According to PDR Health online, in an eight-week double-blind study, 20 obese subjects received 1 gram of glucomannan or placebo daily. The overweight subjects were instructed not to change their eating or exercising habits. The average weight loss of the subjects who received the glucomannan supplements was 5.5 pounds. Their serum cholesterol and LDL cholesterol levels were significantly reduced as well.
Glucomannan may also play a potential role in normalizing blood sugar. This could give glucomannan the ability to improve glycemic control in Type 2 Diabetes. This is due to the delaying of the absorption of carbohydrates. By increasing the gastric-emptying time and/or the decreasing small intestinal transit time, your body has less of an opportunity to store those carbs as fat.
Aside from glucomannan's role in normalizing blood sugar and promoting weight loss, it provides your body with a good source of fiber, which the typical American diet is lacking. Fiber helps to lower blood cholesterol levels and stabilize blood sugar, helping to prevent colon cancer, constipation, hemorrhoids, obesity, and many more disorders. It also helps to rid the body of toxic metals. Because most diets are deficient of fiber, it is important to start supplementing in small doses. Too much fiber may decrease your absorption of zinc, iron, and calcium.
Fiber supplements, such as glucomannan, combined with high-fiber foods, such as whole-grain cereals and flours, brown rice, bran, fresh fruit, raw vegetables, etc., are an essential part of a healthy, well-balanced, low-carb diet.
WARNINGS:
Glucomannan is considered non-toxic, but anyone suffering from any blood sugar-related disease should check with their physician before using the supplement.
Glucomannan dramatically expands when ingested, it MUST be followed by substantial amounts of water. "
Here is their blurb on "The Fill Pill" from the website:
"The Fill Pill™ is an advanced formula that both suppresses hunger and aides in cleansing the digestive tract. The Fill Pill™ contains a special 0 carb/calorie soluble fiber that expands to 50-plus times its size when mixed with liquid and aides in normalizing blood sugar levels by cleansing the digestive tract of toxins and fats. One double-blind study showed that individuals taking this fiber consistently lost weight over a 3 month period compared to those who didn’t.
In addition to the amazing expanding and cleansing properties, The Fill Pill™ also contains an all natural, safe, non-stimulant appetite suppressant, which has been used in India for centuries. One double-blind study showed that those taking this appetite suppressant felt fuller before meals than those who didn’t, and, as a result, ate less and lost weight.
