I've never had body issues. I'm not one of those women who would starve themselves if they could and subsist on nothing but water and crackers if they couldn't just to shrink back to their weight in high school. For the longest time, I was quite happy with how I looked. I had meat in my bones, and it happened to be meat I could live with.

Then, one day, I lost my job. I sank into a depression so deep it took me months to snap out of it. I rarely left the house, and I focused my attention on a new hobby: eating. Yes, I ate my way through that difficult time in my life. I ate whatever I could get my hands on. You name it, I ate it. Then, one day, I realized what a grave disservice I was doing myself. I snapped out of the funk I was in, but not before realizing just how big I had grown - physically.

If you had to count, you really couldn't give an answer to how many different types of diet products are on the market. But, if there is one thing that I can tell you, it is that I have tried most of them. Over the past twenty years, as my waistline grew and grew, I tried all kinds of tips, hints, tricks, and techniques. I also tried all kinds of pills, mixes, drinks, and diets. None of these worked until I came across Lipobind.

It's not that I'm a sedentary slob - at least not now, I like to work out and I consider myself to be somewhat athletic overall. But, I do like to eat and that is my weak spot. Because I like to eat what I want and when I want, it seems that no matter how much working out I do, I can't lose those last twenty pounds or so. As a last resort, after years of trying all kinds of awful diets, my friend suggested Lipobind.

This product does just what its name suggests - it binds the lipo (or fat) - and keeps it from entering your system. Imagine being able to eat the same amount and types of food that you eat now, yet your body helps you by processing only three-quarters of the fat. That's right - according to studies, Lipobind is able to bind up 27.4% of the fat you eat with a natural fiber ingredient, so that it can't be absorbed by your intestines. It is eliminated with the rest of the waste, and you don't have to take in the calories.

Of course, one of the problems with all diets is that when you stop them, the weight will come back on, so Lipobind is meant as a way to lose the extra pounds over a short period of time, while you learn better ways of eating. It's not meant to be a stand-alone solution to being overweight. You use it to get started, but you really do have to learn to eat better to keep the weight off. That is exactly what I did and once I found that I could actually lose weight, the desire to eat as much fat was greatly reduced. Now, I eat a much better diet and I am no longer taking Lipobind. What's even better is that it has been several months and I am still losing weight.

Obviously, before taking this product or any other diet product, you should really talk to a doctor and make sure you are in good shape, but the reported side effects from this product are minor and I didn't have any at all. In fact, taking the product became part of my daily routine and I never noticed any difference, other than the fact that I was losing weight.

One thing that was great about this product is that while I was taking it, its "binding" effect meant that I felt full almost all the time. I never had the desire to eat sweets or fatty foods, and because of that, I think I am a lot healthier now. This has turned out to be a true blessing to me and one that I hope works just as well for you, too.
