I Feel Better, Manage Cravings & Have Lost Weight Thanks To This* 

The shift to working from home a few years ago messed with my health and fitness routine. I struggled with maintaining a consistent workout schedule, and I could tell my weight was bouncing around more than usual (although I don't weigh myself frequently). When I did find myself on a scale about a year and a half later, the number was higher than I was comfortable with—especially given that metabolic issues (especially blood sugar problems) run in my family. 

Like most people on a weight loss journey, I started by homing in on my diet and exercise. But I ran into a few challenges. 

The first challenge was the hours at the gym. While conveniently located (right around the corner from my apartment), the gym I joined closed early. I usually work well into the evening, so a place that closes at 8 p.m. was not a good fit for me. 

Secondly, making dietary changes also posed a challenge because I couldn't shake my late-night sweet tooth. Even if I ate healthily during the day, nighttime snacks seemed to unravel those efforts

I've always been a fan of supplementation and decided to try a general inositol supplement that I thought—according to my very limited research—would help with my blood sugar (and, by default, my metabolism), but I didn't notice a difference. 

I was hopeful about metabolism+'s benefits even before I started taking it. I was impressed with the claims of boost metabolic rate, regulate appetite, curb cravings, and reduce body fat and weight and was intrigued to see if it would live up to the hype.* My dietitian friend also gave it a thumbs-up, instilling even more confidence.

After about a week with metabolism+, I noticed my appetite was generally reduced. I wasn't hungry all the time, and my cravings were much less frequent.* And when they did arise, I was able to acknowledge them and satisfy them with smaller amounts of food, like eating a few bites of cake and then putting leftovers in the fridge to enjoy the next day.

I was 10 pounds closer to my weight before it started bouncing around—a number I haven't seen in years. I can't credit this all to the metabolism+, but I think the supplement helped support some of the other changes I'd been making recently.*

For example, my office recently moved locations, and the new building has a gym that's open 24/7. So I now take a gym bag to work with me (almost) daily to easily fit in a workout in the evening, and this is the most consistent I've been with an exercise schedule in years. 

I also started being more mindful of what I eat and make sure I pack nourishing foods with me for a long day at the office. (I love this overnight oats recipe and this yogurt bowl hack.)

Integrating metabolism+ into my day was a breeze. I take it after lunch (usually after 1 p.m.) since that's my first substantial meal of the day. Also, the caffeine from the green tea leaves in the supplements gives me a nice little clarity enhancement for an afternoon at work.* 

Losing weight and improving my metabolic health is not something that happened overnight. It's been a journey. But since starting metabolism+, I feel energized, motivated, and hopeful that I'll continue to feel good and supported in this ongoing process.*
