Hunger strips .. Anyone tried em?
 

Ok Im a devil for the munches at night and Im forever snacking, and to my despair ive gained a few unwanted pounds. Thing is each time ive tried to diet ive always ended up adding to them.
Anyway Ive decided to get out more and get excercising. Ive picked up an excersise/air walker type thingy off freecycle and its brill and I go on a 15/ 20 min walk everyday
Today though jim went to asda and he came back with these hunger strips. They are just thin strips of selophane type stuff that you place on your tongue and let them dissolve in seconds.
Upto now Ive had three so far and touch wood they seem to be working. Ive had my dinner and tea and not munched at all ..Yayyy:D
Ive never seen them before so wondered if anyone else had tried them? If so did they work for you?
Heres thier website. for anyone who dosent know what im on about.

Now Slim Hunger Strips

I've done a little searching - main ingredient Guarana Seed Extract - high in caffeine, so you might be wide awake tonight

Im not the best sleeper in the world at best so doubt it will make a difference but I will be the guinnea pig and let you all know lol!!;)

give her a pint of cider and she'll soon fall asleep ;)

Re: Hunger strips .. Anyone tried em?
 

Seems a bit strange though when you think about it , Why would a food-store (ASDA) want to discourage people from buying stuff (snacks) when there is such a big mark-up :confused: :confused:
bit like having weight watchers leaflets on a pie shop counter ;)

Re: Hunger strips .. Anyone tried em?
 

Heyyyy now yer talking.. bring it on :alright::D

Re: Hunger strips .. Anyone tried em?
 

Or a good you know whatting might help her sleep :eek::rolleyes::D

Re: Hunger strips .. Anyone tried em?
 

Well she can always pop in the kitchen and have a snack if she can't sleep Margaret:D

Re: Hunger strips .. Anyone tried em?
 

:eek:Oh my!!!! Neil . what ever do you mean?:confused: ;)

Re: Hunger strips .. Anyone tried em?
 

Hey good stuff up to now. havent munched as yet . Have eaten only at meal times with exception to a light sarnie at supper. (next mission to ditch the suppers)

Did have a lousy nights sleep though but dont know if I can blame the strips for that or the damned alarm clock ticking away which im not used too.

Will keep testing:D

Re: Hunger strips .. Anyone tried em?
 

Wouldn't wide strips of sellotape-type stuff placed over the lips achieve the same effect? :p

Re: Hunger strips .. Anyone tried em?
 

Hey Iv just bought some of them today fom asda!!:D
Gonna try em tomorrow, tell ya next week if they have worked;)

Oh and mine cost a quid, cuz the box was ripped....:D:D;)

Re: Hunger strips .. Anyone tried em?
 

Do ya slap em between two slices of bread and butter :confused:
Cant see em being effective if ya don't :D

Re: Hunger strips .. Anyone tried em?
 

Nice one.. Let us know how they are for you?.. Im still going good, although I think some determination is needed. :eek:
Not half as bad as I was for nibbling though. by now Ive usually had a sarnie and a nibble but neither tonight..:D will keep trying though as Im still not convinced lol. GL panther.

Re: Hunger strips .. Anyone tried em?
 

think I'd be better putting the tape over me gob :-)

Re: Hunger strips .. Anyone tried em?
 

Ive thought about that but Nah!!!! It would please hubby no end, and I dont want that do I, or he,ll think im spoiling him. :tongueout :eek::eek::D

Re: Hunger strips .. Anyone tried em?
 

ha ha better still his gob but don't tell him I said it :-):)

Re: Hunger strips .. Anyone tried em?
 

I find that the best way to avoid snacking is to not buy them in the first place, and to live a long way from any shop that sells them
Sometimes I visit my cupboard snacksearching and the only easy thing I see to snack on are rice cakes - bit like eating polystyrine ceiling tiles

Re: Hunger strips .. Anyone tried em?
 

Well i have tried these 'hunger strips', and have to say...honestly....DONT BOTHER!!!
They did nowt for me, to be honest ya might as well buy chewing gum instead, ya get more for ya money:rolleyes:, and if they are suger free, ya can have as much as ya like:)

Sorry but i shall not be buying again!....sorry...

Re: Hunger strips .. Anyone tried em?
 

Omg panther , Have you had a full tub ? .. Im still only half way through my first . Must say they are workin for me. I take one of them and then just end up getting pre occupied with something else.
Suppose its like giving up smoking. I still get my cravings after 2 yrs but have an inhilater to stop the cravings. Just a substitue I suppose but well if it/they work. I,ll keep using em.

Re: Hunger strips .. Anyone tried em?
 

Remember my post saying don't buy snacks - well last night I demolished a whole Soreen malt loaf in one go :o

Re: Hunger strips .. Anyone tried em?
 

no, have i hell:p, just that everytime i had one, nowt changed, I think with me though, is that i dont eat when im hungry, i eat when im bored!! lol, if im occupied all day i can do without food for hours, but if im doing nowt and sitting around, i tend to root in the cupboards:o, maybe i should take up knitting:rolleyes:
As long as im busy im fine...no snacking whats so ever
