Hunger strips .. Anyone tried em?
Ok Im a devil for the munches at night and Im forever snacking, and to my despair ive gained a few unwanted pounds. Thing is each time ive tried to diet ive always ended up adding to them.
Anyway Ive decided to get out more and get excercising. Ive picked up an excersise/air walker type thingy off freecycle and its brill and I go on a 15/ 20 min walk everyday
Today though jim went to asda and he came back with these hunger strips. They are just thin strips of selophane type stuff that you place on your tongue and let them dissolve in seconds.
Upto now Ive had three so far and touch wood they seem to be working. Ive had my dinner and tea and not munched at all ..Yayyy
Ive never seen them before so wondered if anyone else had tried them? If so did they work for you?
Heres thier website. for anyone who dosent know what im on about.
Now Slim Hunger Strips

Re: Hunger strips .. Anyone tried em?
I've done a little searching - main ingredient Guarana Seed Extract - high in caffeine, so you might be wide awake tonight

Re: Hunger strips .. Anyone tried em?
Seems a bit strange though when you think about it , Why would a food-store (ASDA) want to discourage people from buying stuff (snacks) when there is such a big mark-up
bit like having weight watchers leaflets on a pie shop counter

Re: Hunger strips .. Anyone tried em?
Hey good stuff up to now. havent munched as yet . Have eaten only at meal times with exception to a light sarnie at supper. (next mission to ditch the suppers)
Did have a lousy nights sleep though but dont know if I can blame the strips for that or the damned alarm clock ticking away which im not used too.
Will keep testing

Wouldn't wide strips of sellotape-type stuff placed over the lips achieve the same effect?
