Combo-Pilling Day 2

Let me tell you Readers... there is something to this.

I take one capsule of Zantrex 3 Red and one capsule of Relacore
with breakfast and lunch.

I have no hunger.
I have no cravings.
I could care less about food.
Not even chocolate.
Not even pringles.
Nothing.

You need to eat. That's a given. I worry that people who take these pills will starve themselves, because there's no urge to consume anything but water. You get thirsty, but that's about it.

Breakfast for me is whatever I have in the work fridge. Maybe it's a yogurt thing, a banana...
today I had about half a cup of wild rice with corn and soy sauce.
It's nowhere near the breakfast I would have had before taking the pills.
I take the pills as I'm leaving the house, and 20 minutes later I have a mini meal at 8am and I'm satisfied.

I don't feel hungry for lunch at noon.
I take the other two pills with a small bottle of water and eat about half as much as I normally would before putting the rest in the fridge again. I would never dream of having leftovers before.
Yesterday I had a small Tilapia fillet and half a cup of wild rice and broccoli/corn mix... again with soy sauce. Because why not?
Today I had an orange and a banana.

I don't need a snack.

My boss is amazing. At 2pm daily he passes out chocolate. I don't even want that... but I eat it anyway =)

I'm drinking water all day.

I get home at 5 and I should eat again, but I'm not hungry.
I just had about a cup of watermelon.
I won't take another pill again today because I want an appetite.

I know I'm not getting in enough calories and that's a scary thought.
It's like I have to force myself to eat.

So mom sent home some chili from last night. I'll have a big bowl at about 6.

In the meantime, I have laundry and Frozen to watch.


Side effects to note:

I feel warm. It's like the Zantrex is a thermogenic that raises your body temperature.
(When I take the Zantrex alone, I'm very hot and sweating all the time. This isn't happening when I take the Relacore with it.)

I'm happy, but I'm not overly hyper.

I kinda pee green.
lol
lol
TMI
The Relacore is a dark green pill that smells like a Prenatal Vitamin, but doesn't make me nauseous. It tastes awful though. I'm guessing this is just a weird side effect of the dark green whatever-they-add that's in the pill.



I'm not sure if it's because of mom's chili, or the pills, or my period.... but I have terrible cramps.
I have the Nexplanon birth control implant, and because of that, I only get a period every 3-5 months or so. When I do, I get terrible cramps. I'm sure the cramps are just part of womanly hell. But I'm still noting it, just in case.

I also fall asleep so much easier. I'm ready to crash around 9 or 10pm, and I wake up feeling rested, for the most part.


So I like this combo.
I just hope that the people who take it make themselves eat.
It's easy to portion out meals and stick to it, and not grab a second plate.
And I love food, so for me to say that is odd.
Just don't kill your metabolism by starving yourselves.

It's about $50 with tax to get 72 of each pill at WalMart. Lasts about a month taking 2 of each per day.
Factoring in the money I'm saving by not hitting the vending machine ($25), not going through the drive thru 3 time a week ($20), and being about to portion foods I cook and eating less in general, I'm saving money.

Cutting out fat and processed foods.
I can buy things with great nutritional value and break even. I'm not losing any money.

Who knows how this will affect the body in the long run though?

And I know I'll go back to being hungry and having a French fry massacre as soon as I stop taking them. Gain the weight back.

So... bittersweet.
Keep eating. Don't kill your metabolism people.
