As much as I try to eat healthy, there are times when I succumb to baser inclinations – gorging down a big bag of Mang Juan, devouring grilled liempo, and feasting on isaw and candies. On times like these, when drinking water isn't enough to suppress the cravings, it's a good thing that there are fat burners and supplements like MySlim Yerba Mate Drink and Capsules.

Just so we're clear, my goal when I decided to try these products was not to lose weight. My number one priority is to manage my weight by avoiding hunger pangs and unhealthy cravings as well as to maintain a well-oiled metabolism. And, judging from my experience of it so far, MySlim is as natural as you can get when it comes to supplements that can help you achieve this goal.

MySlim has two products in its line of yerba-infused fat burners. First is the Slimming and Detox Drink which comes  in a 200ml handy attractive red bottle, and in a just-add-water sachet. A bottle costs Php89/piece and is ready-to-drink, but is best consumed when chilled. A sachet, on the other hand, is priced at Php69. The sachet is ideal for travelers like me since liquids above 100ml are usually not allowed aboard airplanes. All one has to do is mix the sachet with 250ml of water (about the size of your average traveler tumbler) and it's ready to go.

The strawberry-flavored sugar-free MySlim Slimming and Detox Drink has three ingredients that make it effective for weight management. Palatinose, a natural sweetener derived from sucrose, controls the release of glucose into the blood, resulting to stable energy levels for longer periods of time. It also contains Finomate/EFLA 920 (Yerba Mate or Green Mate Leaf Extract) which is clinically proven to aid in weight loss by suppressing appetite, increasing burning of fat, and reducing fat resorption. These two ingredients work perfectly with the drink's other one: Carnipure, the purest form of L-carnitine, which converts fat into usable energy, making you feel in tip-top shape all throughout the day.

A maximum of 4 bottles (or sachets) per week is recommended

The first time I tried the drink (the sachet version), I felt the need to go to the bathroom after just a couple of hours. This was in the late afternoon, after I had a snack of turon. At first I just shrugged it off as normal since I have dump syndrome. I poop easily, okay. But after I finished this particular number two, I felt the release was pleasantly complete, thorough, unlike most of my number twos. It truly felt cleansing. The second time I tried it was two days after the first try, right before I went to bed. When I woke up the next day, I immediately had to go to the bathroom to, well, let it go. I could almost hear my intestines thanking me for the detox. Take note that it is recommended to have this drink once every other day, anytime, preferably when you're just staying at home so as to avoid, er, mishaps.

I also paired the drink with MySlim's other product: MySlim Natural Fat Burner Complex Capsules. These capsules have Metaburn which speeds up metabolism so the food you eat doesn't get stored as fat, converting it into energy you can use. The recommended dosage is twice a day, after a heavy meal. Since I don't wake up early, I take one capsule after brunch, and one after dinner. The result? I get less hunger pangs! I only noticed this yesterday, after a week of taking the capsules. I noticed that I no longer get weird cravings and late-night tendencies to snack on chichirya. I sleep also more soundly the past few days, making me feel more energized and alert! It's amazing!

Take two capsules a day. One after every big meal.

What's more is that you can get a bottle of 30 MySlim Natural Fat Burner Complex Capsules for only Php540. This and the MySlim Slimming Detox Drink (sachet and bottle) can be purchased at Mercury Drugstores, Watsons, Southstar Drugstores, and Rose Pharmacy. The drink is also available at 7-Eleven stores, Robinson's Supermarkets, Landmark Supermarket, Anson’s Supermarket, and Crossing Supermarket.

Suppress unhealthy cravings with MySlim Natural Fat Burner Complex Capsules!

If you're wondering if I experienced any side effects from taking MySlim products, in the one week that I've been taking them, except for the urgent need to go to the bathroom, I had none. But it's best to consult your doctor first before taking these products to be sure.

Also, I know you'd want to know if I'd lost any weight. Honestly, I do feel lighter. Although I'm not one to go on a weighing scale, I do feel a little less flabby in general. Of course, it helps if you're eating healthy and are doing some form of exercise. In my case, I go biking every day for one to two hours. But, believe me, the internal benefits of taking these MySlim products far outweigh the external. Say goodbye to sluggishness and sugar-crashes!

Now that summer here, remember that the so-called "beach body" is so overrated. Frankly, all you need to have one is a beach and your body. Focus on being healthy, love yourself, and stay the awesome person that you already are. Take MySlim too, so that you'll never lose the energy to do more awesome things. #WalangImposible! High five!

Be fit and fab all year round with MySlim!
