Natural Appetite Control Drink: Full Core #StopSnacking

So, I’ve posted quite a few things recently about mak­ing health­ier choices. Between the start to a new year & the 5k com­ing up at the end of this month, it’s def­i­nitely been on my mind. So, I was thrilled with an oppor­tu­nity to try Full Core! If you haven’t heard of full core before, it’s a nat­ural appetite con­trol drink. Hon­estly, I’m always leery of diet drinks/suppressors or what have you. But, this seemed dif­fer­ent, prob­a­bly because it con­tains 15 vit­a­mins & min­er­als. Plus, it con­tains 40% (10g) of your daily fiber needs. So, that’s a bonus for your diges­tive health as well. In addi­tion, full core is fat free, sugar free, sodium free, caf­feine free, and gluten free. Ste­via is used as a nat­ural sweetener.

So, with that knowl­edge, I decided to give it a shot. Order­ing was really sim­ple. The online store is easy to nav­i­gate and the ship­ping time was good. You can see my whole shop­ping expe­ri­ence in this Google+ album.

After just a few days, a full core box arrived at my door. And, can I just say how much I’m seri­ously lov­ing shop­ping online?! Hav­ing items just arrive at my door is so nice!Now, the impor­tant questions…how does it taste? Does it work? Short answers: Good and yes!

If you know me in real life, then you prob­a­bly know that I really don’t like the taste of many fla­vored drinks. How­ever, sadly, I don’t dis­like the taste of soda. In fact, I like soda a lit­tle too much. Even with drink diet or low-calorie vari­eties, I know they aren’t good for me and can actu­ally hin­der weight loss. So, I was excited to see if full core might be a good soda replace­ment for me. And, I’m happy to say that it was. The lemon-lime fla­vor of the full core (the only fla­vor option by the way) was good. Not nearly as sweet as most lemon-lime sodas, but no weird after tastes or any­thing. Plus, it was still lightly car­bon­ated so it still really seemed like I was drink­ing soda. Much unlike soda though, the full core drink did indeed make me feel full. In fact, it took me a while to drink it because it really did sup­press my appetite! With hun­gry lit­tle boys who are con­stantly ask­ing me for food, it is WAY too easy for me to fall into the mind­less snack­ing trap. And, let’s face it, many times when the kids are hun­gry, I am too. I just shouldn’t be eat­ing! So, hav­ing the full core drink avail­able to actual help con­trol hunger and stop snack­ing is a great thing! The added bonus is all the vit­a­mins, min­er­als, fiber…and just 25 calo­ries! That’s MUCH bet­ter for my waist­line than mind­lessly grab­bing some gold­fish crack­ers with the kids!

How could full core help you? When are your “most dan­ger­ous” snacky times?
