Guest guest Posted July 17, 2002 Report Share Posted July 17, 2002 Suz: in these days of guar pudding, I find that satisfies me. However my husband won't touch the stuff (, are you listening?). Is this a pill or what? I'm thinking it might help my husband. on 7/17/2002 1:50 PM, Suzanne Cart at massuz@... wrote: > In my various readings over the past few years, I ran across a product called > Satietrol which sounded interesting to me as a means of improving appetite > control while doing CR.

That makes it not-right for a lot of CRONies. > Also, the oils and corn syrup solids are stuff that a lot of cronies won't touch. (Corn syrup is just another form of sugar). Surprised it tastes so bad (that you have to hold your nose) with corn syrup in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My biggest problems with it are that if I take a full packet it makes me feel so full I feel sick, and the stuff tastes nasty. They offer both a 90 cal powder you take an hour before eating or a 250-cal meal replacement.

Oh well, perhaps that CR pill will be available soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's going to try >Satietrol when he gets home from Jakarta next week...so I'll let you know >how it works for him, too. I just had one more thing to add -- I took this a few times, then quit when I got a cold sore after taking it once. I very rarely get cold sores anymore, so it seemed like too much of a coincidence. I suspect what happened was the Satietrol upset my stomach, which caused a cold sore (an upset stomach will sometimes do that). However, I could see how Satietrol could be an effective tool for someone really battling with hunger and overeating. It definitely curbed my desire to eat. - Robin _________________________________________________________________ Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
