It’s bikini season once again and it’s time to shape up and get fit to show off those slim bodies to the beach. People have plenty of ways on how to get back in shape, dieting, running, going to the gym, drinking slimming coffee or slimming teas or taking diet pills. It seems that more and more weight loss and diet pills are popping up these days. Aside from slimming coffee, most of us are already familiar with weight loss pills because it is more common and can be bought over the counter. Be warned though, because most of weight loss pills I know can make you go to the comfort room every hour or so. They contain laxatives and other artificial ingredients, that’s why.

A friend of mine swears by this one weight loss pill she got from New York called Slim9. It’s an all-natural diet pill so it’s basically safe, and promises to give results in as fast as 2 weeks. It’s all-natural because it uses quality herbal extracts, some of these are acai berry, green tea and ginseng. So what are the effects after taking this pill? My friend said that it reduced her food cravings thereby reducing her calorie intake. It also boosts her metabolism that’s why it’s good for the digestive health, some slimming drinks can make you constipated. And because of the added ingredients like antioxidants, it also gives extra energy and reduces stress. I told her that it’s too good to be true, to have a weight loss pill that can do all that. But she swears that it’s very effective, and she has peace of mind that it won’t have negative impact on her body since it’s natural. Weight loss experienced by taking Slim9 can even be called “healthy weight loss.”

1. Leisure 18 Slimming Coffee – a review

How to know if a Leisure 18 Slimming Coffee is authentic or a fake? I’ve seen many sellers claim that what they sell are authentic. This really raised confusion from Leisure 18 coffee users because there are a number of colors of sachets that’s been produced, white, green, purple… But from the start of drinking this coffee, I’ve only known one variant, and that’s the GOLD sachet. My supplier has been consistent with this one, that’s why I don’t want to gamble on other “colored variants”.

Here’s what my supplier has to say on Leisure 18 Slimming Coffee’s authenticity:

How to Determine Authenticity
1. Hologram-printed box with 2 stickers.
2. Gold or white sachets, with or without silver lining.
3. The manufacturing and expiration dates located at the underside of the box should be embossed, not printed/stamped.
4. Product quality seal at the box’s flap.
5. Silica gel inside the box (for the previous batches).

There has been a lot of confusion since there are several kinds of Leisure 18 available in the Philippine market. Some misinformation are spread by some sellers either out of ignorance or malice. I’ve been keeping tabs on several international companies that produce and sell Leisure 18 and here’s what I found out:

There are two models/flavors: the sweet version and the herbs & spices version (I’m selling the sweet version). When it comes to the sachet’s appearance, the only ones I see internationally are the gold or white sachets, with or without SILVER lining. These kinds of Leisure 18 are manufactured and distributed by companies that are GMP- AND ISO-CERTIFIED. You don’t get credentials like those if you’re a loser company that sells fake goods, you know.

What about those with green or purple lining? Some trusted importers and sellers express doubt about the authenticity of these kinds, which is why I don’t sell the Leisure 18 with green or purple lining. However, many manufacturers nowadays offer private labeling and customization so it is possible that these green and purple linings are just customizations requested by the importers to be able to identify if a particular item was imported by them or by other importers.

And due to enormous feedback/comments I get as to where they can buy an ORIGINAL Leisure 18 Slimming Coffee, I decided to sell this coffee too, just text me at 0915-648-83-05 for orders.

2. Chinese beauty products banned for containing mercury; Zhen de Shou also banned

9 Chinese beauty products are found to be laced with mercury that’s why the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) banned the Chinese-made products. FDA said that thse products contain the heavy metal mercury beyond the allowable limit of one part per million.

Below is the list of whitening creams/face creams included in the ban:

Jiao Li creams

* Jiaoli Huichusu Whitening Speckles Removal Cream
* Xin Jiao Li 7-Days Specific Eliminating Freckle Cream
* Jiao Li 10-Days Eliminating Freckle Day & Night Set
* Jiao Li 7-Days Eliminating Freckle AB Set
* Jiao Liang Miraculous Cream
* Xin Jiao Liang 7-Days Miracle Package for Spots Refining
* Jiao Mei Miraculous Cream
* Jiao Yan Specific Miraculous Cream
* Jiao Li Extra Pearl Facial Cream

Zhen de Shou slimming capsules

Meanwhile, a popular slimming tablets/capsules also from China is included in the ban because it contains steroids. These are: Zhen de Shou Fat Loss Capsule and Zhen de Shou Fat Loss Tea. (I read the news over and over again to double check if Leisure 18 Slimming Coffee is included, but it’s not…)

Geez, China manufacturers should check with the safety standards first, they are one of the biggest exporters of all sorts of products and yet their products can’t meet the standards.

1. Leisure 18 Slimming Coffee – a review

Leisure 18 Slimming Coffee is one slimming beverage that piqued my curiosity thus made me buy a box to try it out. Since college, I veered away from slimming teas and the likes because the ones I’ve tried before just made me do frequent trips to the comfort room and triggered my hyperacidity.

Last year, I really gained weight and most of the bulges concentrated on my hips, butt and thigh. I wasn’t able to exercise unlike before when I got to participate on running events. My friend, Hazel of Veruca, who’s also my supplier of Cyleina soaps, only has positive reviews about Leisure 18 that’s why I got interested. Leisure 18 Slimming Coffee won’t give you undesirable side effects like diarrhea, palpitations and dizziness. I bought one box from her for Php 220 which contains 18 sachets, good for 18 days.

Leisure 18 Slimming Coffee box

The coffee tastes bland, and honestly I can’t consume it alone so I added more Nescafe 3-in-1 for flavor and color.

Leisure 18 Slimming Coffee sachet

As per the instruction, I take it before breakfast, or in my case, before going to work because I get to have my brunch when I arrive at the office. I already experienced the effect on the first day, I lost my appetite which is very very rare, but I still forced to eat my brunch but didn’t finish the whole serving since I felt full unexpectedly. Throughout the day, I don’t have any food cravings even when it’s already snack time. I just grabbed some crackers and soda just so I can eat something but I really don’t feel hungry the rest of the day. What I really love about it is that I completely forgot about my chocolates addiction, even when faced with chocolates and junk foods at the grocery, nothing seem to tickle my taste buds.

I feel really thirsty the whole day though, but I think it’s also good because I get to increase my water intake. I think the coffee has high caffeine content because there are some nights that I’m still awake at 3 am, not good for students and people who must get up early.

As for other side effects, I did experience dizziness and slight palpitations on my first week. But I guess it’s manageable and continued drinking this for 7 straight days. Unfortunately, I got sick the week after my “slimming coffee week” so I decided to stop drinking it until I get well. The second “slimming coffee week” was a better experience for me because no palpitations and dizziness this time. Of course, different strokes for different folks right? So if you want to know about other experiences of Leisure 18 users, there’s a thread at Girltalk forum where girls share their own experiences.

Did I lose weight? YES! After only consuming 7 sachets, Jeff noticed my uber-huge-thighs got smaller. I became confident wearing leggings too! My pants got a little looser and my tummy got smaller. I still have few sachets left because I’m not drinking it for 18 straight days. I’m just taking it weekly, then the week after that. I still get results so I’m satisfied and comfortable with this routine.
