Genaslim Review

OK, my boyfriend and I cannot seem to stop eating everything in sight that is bad for us, so I decided to take a proactive step and buy a natural appetite suppressant and try it out.  Since I’m an experimenter at heart, I decided to not go for Hoodia, which usually works very well for me, and try something else.  So I did a little research, and found that there was a different succulent plant that was supposed to be good for natural appetite suppression, so decided to give it a whirl. 

I decided on the natural appetite suppressant pill called Genaslim.  It is a medium priced diet aid that is all natural, and contains a compound called Slimaluma, which is derived from a succulent plant much like Hoodia, but it an entirely different plant in origin.  It comes in capsule form and I actually had a little reflux the first few times I took it, and it is very potent tasting.  I think the potent taste is the ECGG that was added to it.  I wasn’t exactly thrilled that it also had Green Tea (ECGG) in it, but oh well. 

I really wanted something that was completely non-stimulant in nature that would just control my appetite in a natural way that didn’t make me feel all jacked up like stimulants such as ECGG usually do.  I have to say, it’s not giving me heart palpitations, but it is making me feel slightly queasy when I take it. 

This may in fact just be my own system reacting to the substance, or it may be the way it “suppresses” the appetite, by creating a slightly uncomfortable feeling in the stomach so that you eat less not because a chemical is turned off in your brain hunger center, but more so because it creates a little bit of gastrointestinal distress.  This may just be me, again, and I will admit that I can get gastrointestinal distress from things sometimes, but it’s a side effect that I don’t really like. 

You are supposed to take two caplets per day, and take each one of those one hour before lunch and one hour before dinner, respectively.  This is another slight drawback, since I wanted something that I could take any time between meals and achieve the appetite control I wanted all day long.  It did slightly work to curb the amount of food I ate, but I haven’t noticed any weight loss yet. 

I also am noticing that the appetite suppression aspect seems to already be wearing off of me in just a few days, but this could also be due to the fact that I recently went on my period.  I think next time I might opt again to try a hoodia supplement or hoodia gum since this seemed to do the trick more for me personally.
