Brand Backer: Round One

I signed up to test products for a company called Brand Backer a few weeks ago and was selected to try the SLIMQUICK Pure Extra Strength Mixed Berries Drink Mix, you can purchase it on Walmart and Amazon's websites or find a list of local retailers here.  I also got a $5 coupon in you want to try it, just click the link: $5 Off Coupon.

The drink mix claims to help you lose 3 times the weight compared to just diet and exercise. It also says that it addresses the 6 ways women have trouble losing weight.  I was super pumped about it because who doesn't want to lose a couple extra pounds.

The first day you drink 2 packs, the 2nd day 3 packs, and then days 3-7 you drink 4 packs.  I only made it through the 1st day, maybe I should have kept pushing forward but it made me feel really sick.  The taste is okay, not terrible but not really good either.  It kind of tastes like melted jello with a strange aftertaste.  I've heard that if you mix it with smoothies it is delicious!  I got a really bad headache both times after I drank it and my stomach felt funny also.  So, I quit after the 2nd drink. Womp.

I rarely drink soda, and have one cup of coffee probably two mornings a week.  The mix contains a lot of caffeine so that may have caused the headaches.  If I was to do it again, or if you don't consume a lot of caffeine try reducing the doses and working your way up.  Try starting with half a pack in the morning and half a pack at night the first day and then increasing from there!

Guess I'll  have to try and get skinny another way.

Hitting up Duck Donuts like I did today won't help you get skinny, but it will make your taste buds dance!
