FORM and FIXX, anyone tried it??

  • This is my first post, so go gentle on me.

    I have a friend who is using FORM and I'm thinking I'm going to try it too.

    The basic idea is that you take a pill before each meal. The pills contain microbeads which swell in your stomach so that you feel full after eating smaller portions. I know there's no such thing as a "magic pill", but I'm intrigued. Portion control is huge for me!

    Has anyone else tried this? Or heard anything about it?
  • I heard about stuff similar to that, and even tried some. Never worked for me. But, hey! Let me know if you try it and it actually works...
  • Fiber fills you up and so does liquid. So you could drink a large glass of water before your meal and it'd do the same thing. If you really want to try added fiber, there are inexpensive fiber supplements available.
  • Thanks for the feedback guys! That makes sense about fiber and water, I'm sure it wouldn't hurt me to increase my fiber intake. I am going to try the FORM and I'll report back.

    Robyn, Congrats on your 10 lbs! That is great!
