Becoming Coco

WARNING : it may suppress your appetite too much (This does not count as dinner! Even if it does have healthy nuts on top) This is my second day using my new bottle of GC, so I've been using GC 2 weeks with a 2 week break in between and just started up again. That's not how you are supposed to do it I just lost my previous bottle. Anyway... Yesterday my appetite was suppressed. I'm assuming it was the GC because that was the only different factor in my diet. I woke up Saturday around 11:30am and ate a decent sized brunch till I felt satisfied, not too full and no longer hungry. 3 hours later I had a coffee and a small fiber one bar. 3 hours after that I had a cupcake. 3 hours after that I was still awake and had eaten nothing else but felt fine. Lies. I woke up this morning and my body hated me. It was screaming at me to eat something. I took a shower and had to pause my shower half way to crumple on the floor until the feeling of my stomach eating me alive subsided. SO Whe...

I finally got my new bottle of GC in the mail after leaving it at a friends house. So now we are starting over.  My weight right now is :115.4 My BMI: 19.4 (low-normal range) My Body Fat %: 16.6 %  2 % points lower than before.  Maybe my somewhat healthy eating habits, my 4 days of walking 30 min or more and taking daily vitamins is helping. Or maybe the GC in my system from before is helping. Or both?  (All the supplements I take regularly, some are everyday, some are 1-2x a week) Let's wait and see. Also I'm keeping in touch with my friend to see how the supplement works for them.

So this supplement "Garcinia Cambogia" according to Dr.Oz and Oprah and all these "health gurus" is supposed to be the magical weight loss cure we've all been waiting for. I have no real desire to lose weight at all, but I love testing a theory or product for validity, you know in the name of science.  Also some other claimed benefits sound appealing. If you regularly take this supplement the benefits are: - Suppressed Appetite and better able to control cravings  - Increased serotonin levels  - Feeling fuller longer - Prevents fat from being produced by forcing carbs to be used as energy rather than stored as fat - Curb emotional eating - Increase in Serotonin levels  - Improve mood - Deeper more restful sleep - Losing weight rapidly with no other changes to diet or exercise (average weight loss of 2-4 pounds a month) - Possible Immunity boost and immune support *** I'm all about that possibility  So why not try it. If it works on me then I'll suggest i...
