Need a little boost to start your weight loss goals?
Is there some weight you plan on trying to loose before the summer? Or maybe you just need a little boost to get you on the roll to your goal(s)?
I recently tried this Grapefruit (slim way) Essential Oil by: Phytopia, it is mainly for weight loss and appetite control. Now it isn't some magic potion you can just throw on your body, or smell and weight just magically disappears. That would be too easy right? I have a new found love for all of these essential oils, I am a firm believer that certain smells can help relax you, change your mood, or like me rubbing peppermint essential on my head helps my migranes.
This essential oil is 100% Pure & Natural Therapeutic Grade for Massage. All you do is Apply the right amount to the areas you would like to see the weight loss in, maybe your arms, thighs, or belly. You then massage the oil into your skin gently moving towards your heart. Another way is just adding a few drops (they said 3 tsp) to your bath water. But what mommies have the time for a nice bath every night? I know I don't! The best time to apply the oil is after your breakfast meal, because that is the best time for blood circulation. You can use it once a day or twice daily. I had no issue with the oil leaving me feel greasy at all, but they say you can do it about 15 minutes before you bath/shower incase you do have a greasy feeling.
I will tell you a little about this smell of the grapefruit oil, it is not too bad but the first little whiff is a little licorice like? I honestly can not pin point exactly what this smell is but the first time I used it I wanted to gag and thought I was never going to be able to get through with this. Once it is on your body though, it is not too bad, my hubby and son never said anything about noticing it on me.
Here is a few things they listed the essential oil helps with:
Promotes healthy Metabolism: I can not say too much with this as it did not happen to with me.
Helps manage hunger cravings: This it did help me with, I was less likely to snack through out the day.
Eliminates fats & excess water: Not so sure about the fats just yet, but yes to the water.(I will explain that in a minute)
Enhances your mood & feel more energetic: I do feel a little less stressed with a little energy boost.
Helps you digest better & improce conditions of constipation efficiently: This I am not sure, I have not had an issue.
This oil for me did help me seem lessed stress and a little more energetic which is great I get more done around the house, and moving around more. And the biggest side effect I do know is the sudden thirst and frequent urniation. I drink a lot as it is, but this has helped me with drinking more water. I suggest keeping a bottle or two near by. ;)
Overall, I really have not noticed weight loss in the past week but I feel better. I feel this Essentional Oil is a great start to any weight loss plan. It is natural and safe to put on your body, and helps flush out any toxins. With a nice diet plan of healthy eating and some exercise you could for sure loose some weight. But as for just massaging this into your body?? Umm I still am a little uncertain about that, but hey every body is different and reacts differently!
I will also say this: DO NOT INGEST!!!! This is only to be put on your body not in it! Keep it safe and out of the way for your children also! And talk with your doctor if needed to make sure this is a right choice for you! If you are intreseted in trying this product with me, take a look here!
