I’ve been hearing the buzz about fucoxanthin as the new kid on the block for weight loss.  Yesterday I purchased a product at Farmacopia called Fucoselean which contains a proprietary blend of nutrients, including fucoxanthin.  Being a fairly new blogger, following my results seems like excellent blog material.

I want to clearly state that this is not a product I am selling!  I do not stand to gain financially in any way if this works!

I took my first capsule yesterday 20 minutes before lunch.  It was a late lunch, around 2.  Lunch was a salad and by the time I started eating, I could feel new energy (not speedy AT ALL) and my appetite was decreased.  I was satisfied after lunch and didn’t continue grazing.  This is one of the main difficulties of working at home! I had a light snack late in the day, and my energy stayed strong.  An 8:00 evening phone appointment lasted until 9:20, and I didn’t eat dinner until very late…9:30!  Although this isn’t unusual in many countries, it is rare that I don’t eat dinner before 8:00.  The point is, my relationship to food is beginning to shift.

So what is in Focoselean?  Here’s what the label says: Brown Seaweed (Undaria pinnatfida) (Added concentrate fucoxanthin, 10mg/100mg,10%) Bladderwrack (Fucus vesiculosus),Sargassi Seaweed (Sargassum muticum), Irish Moss (Chondrus crispus), Green Tea (50% extract), Raspberry, containing ellagic acid, Chromium (polynicotinate) 240mcg.

I’ll keep you posted of my progress.  This will not be a scientific test, but rather an experiential report.  I’m not going to weigh myself or measure.  I’m just going to take one capsule 20 minutes before a meal, twice a day and see what happens!
