Garcinia Cambogia - Top Weight Loss Product - Oz Recommended Review

Today I received a bottle of Garcinia Cambogia made by Xium The Science of Thin, sold by Accelerated Intelligence Distribution, to review for my honest opinion.  There are 90 Vegetarian capsules in each bottle.  Each bottle has Garcinai Cambogia 750MG which has a minimum of 60% HCA (Hydroxycitric acid).  This is supposedly the top weight loss product recommended by Dr. Oz.  Not this exact brand, but the Gacinia Cambogia.  What I liked about this brand is that there are no fillers and no other ingredients.  I absolutely love that they are VEGAN/Vegetarian.

What do I think about Garcinia Cambogia by Xium?
It did give me energy but I didn't lose weight.  I took only 2 pills a day, not 3.  Not losing any weight could be from that or from my hypothyroidism problem. I think the normal healthy person, this would work for weight loss. I didn't lose any weight in the 22 days I took this. I did have more energy and I felt more alert. The energy made me want to move and clean my house, so I'll take it as it will work for weight loss, since you would be moving more. I decided to wait and use the rest of the capsules until my thyroid is working on the thyroid pill. The ingredients I feel are true and pure. I would trust this brand more than something on GNC's shelf.


 Here's what their Amazon Page says:

FREE Full Size Bag of Food Should Taste Good Guacamole Tortilla Chips

Today I received a full bag of Food Should Taste Good Guacamole Tortilla Chips.  We had them tonight with some Newmans Own Pineapple Salsa.  (That salsa is Delicious!!!) I was excited to try these chips since they are non GMO, gluten free, trans fat free, and have all around natural healthier ingredients in them.  The chips are nice size tortilla shaped and are dark green.  They did not have a dusting of the guacamole flavor, as the company seemed to put the guacamole right in the chip dough.  They were nice and crispy like any other tortilla would be.  The taste was great but a little spicy.  I don't mind spicy foods and even my toddler thought these were "yummy".  Our mouths got that on fire feel to it as we kept eating the chips and we needed our drinks handy.  It didn't seem like I was depriving myself even though they are a healthier ingredient chip.  In fact, I felt good eating them just because of the ingredients.  The downside is that they are still rather fattening at 6 grams of fat for 10 chips and 130 calories.  Guacamole is a good fat and high in calories so maybe that is the reason.  I would have to try the other flavors to see if they are on the same level of calories and fat.  



This picture and nutritional information is from the Food Should Taste Good website.

Ingredients:

Stone Ground Corn, High Oleic Sunflower Oil and/or Safflower Oil and/ or Canola Oil, Cilantro, Parsley, Avocado, Serrano Peppers, Coriander, Tomato Powder, Sea Salt, Dried Onion, Dried Garlic, Cumin, Lime Oil, Vinegar, Salt, Red Pepper.

I would recommend these tortilla chips based on the unique flavor and the natural ingredients.  Food Should Taste Good has a variety of chip flavors here.

I received my free sample from Eat Better America AKA LivebetterAmerica.  They are a website full of recipes and coupons for different brands and occasionally send out a free full size sample. Just sign up for the newsletter and watch your email monthly. They go quick so you have to respond quick.

FREE Life & Food Yacon Syrup 100% Organic Non GMO & REVIEW


Today I received Life & Food Brand Yacon Syrup which is organic, raw, and NON GMO.  I tasted it right away. I decided to wait until the next day to make pancakes and add it to the syrup we already have.  The serving size is 1 teaspoon, up to three times a day.






I added about 1 tablespoon of the Yacon Syrup to 1 cup of regular maple syrup.  The taste is sweet on it's own but I wanted to add the benefits of the yacon to my regular syrup.  There was a little aftertaste to the complete syrup mixture.  It was not bad but it was noticeable.  

The next day, I had 1 teaspoon in my morning tea.  It was beautiful tasting in my hot tea.  I couldn't tell it wasn't sweetened with sugar.  I do add a little almond milk to my tea as well.  




EDIT JULY 6th 2014:  I have used this for over a month for a few days each week.  The main reason for wanting to try yacon syrup was that it helps regulate your bowels better.  I have noticed a positive change in that department.  I won't go into details but I have had IBS for about 7 years now and it seemed to help.  

It is also great for your kidneys, has probiotics, and lowers blood sugar for diabetics.  The amazon page where this was purchased says it has antioxidants.  I researched a little and the top two antioxidants extracted from yacon root is chlorogenic acid and tryptophan.  It is also said that tryptophan helps depression.  Chlorogenic acid is what helps in the blood sugar area.

I think this is a super food.  It should be a staple in vegetarians or vegans for sure.  It definitely should be a part of anyone suffering from diabetes or bowel flare-ups.  It is really easy to use in your coffee or tea every day.  This is a good investment for your health.  I am thankful I found out about Life & Food Yacon Syrup.  I believe it will continually help me obtain optimal health.
