FACT: In addition to the baby's weight, a pregnant woman carries
about 15 additional pounds from the weight of the placenta, amniotic fluids,
the enlarged uterus and breasts, and extra blood, plus about another seven
pounds of extra fat stores (Sears 1997).
As the baby grows, a mother's hungry pangs doubles
especially on the third trimester where the baby needs more nutrient and the
mother prepares her strength and energy for delivery. With this, women will
actually eat more and eventually gain weight whether they like it or not. Though
after delivery, the mother will automatically loses some of the weight (the
baby's weight, the placenta, amniotic fluid and the extra blood), getting back
into the pre pregnancy body is something that does not happen overnight as the
uterus needs atleast six weeks to return to its size and the fat stored during
the 9 months of gaining weight does not disappear. And there comes, one of my
biggest challenges after giving birth to my baby girl last year, October
2014.
To be honest, I did just gain weight on the last two months
of my pregnancy as I suffered extreme nause and vomiting in the entire duration
(I even vomitted everything I had eaten a day before my delivery). I can say I was
lucky enough not to go through the post partum overweight phase but getting
back in shape is a problem. It's true that breast feeding your baby can help
you lose weight but pregnancy fats are still there and I haven't returned into my pre pregnancy built yet.

Now,
after a year of breastfeeding, I started weaning my baby and is readying myself
to that "Balik-Alindog Project".
Aside
from having an active lifestyle, regular stretching exercises and occasional
dancing, I've been searching for dietary supplements that can aid me in losing
those unwanted fats realistically. Nowadays, dietary supplements come in a
variety of forms such as tablets, capsules, as well as drinks and energy bars.
It's becoming hard to tell which product yields the best and safest
results.
And
just in time, Vida Nurtriscience Incorporated, sent me this. The mySlim Yerba Mate!
How can I not be excited? mySLim is the first slimming and detox drink
clinically proven to promote safe weight lose for its Yerba Mate formulation.
Developed by Vida Nutriscience Incorporated, one of the leading health and wellness products
provider in the market today, mySlim is surely safe to take as its developer is the
country's go-to provider of safe, novel and ethical health and wellness
products.
But what is Yerba Mate?
YERBA MATE reduces fats
without shedding lean muscle mass and only burns unwanted fat, making you fit
and healthy. Discovered in Brazil and used primarily as tea, Yerba Mate was
clinically studied by researchers and was proven effective weight loss
component. It boosts metabolism, increases caloric burn rate, suppresses
appetite, increases energy and stimutates mental focus and clarity.

mySlim drink priced at 89php at 200 ml bottle in Strawberry flavor, handy and can be brought anywhere or at the comfort of your home (to avoid any inconveniences, as reaction to the product is different per individual)
Recommended use: Drink 1 to 2 bottles per week |
Apart from Yerba Mate,
this mySlim drink is also packed with Palatinose which promotes energy for loner periods of time
and Carnipure which reduces sensation
of hunger therefore reducing's food intake.
 |
mySlim Yerba Mate drink in sachet of 32 g also in Strawberry Flavor priced at 60php per sachet, which I think a bit pricey yet handy especially for those fitness buff that are always on the go and who prefers carrying lighter stuffs on their bag but as advised this best taken at the comfort of your home to avoid any inconveniences.
Recommended use: Pour the contents of 1 sachet to 250 ml of cold water.
Stir until dissolved. |
At
first I had hesitations on trying out the ready made drinks and the packed ones
as there are no specific instructions for breastfeeding women noted in the
bottles or in the sachets. Therefore during the pedia check-up last Thursday,
November 19, I asked the doctor if I could take mySlim once a week
while in the weaning process. I made note as well that my baby
prefers to breastfeed at night until she fall asleeps. The advise is that I should
not breastfeed within 4 hours after drinking mySlim or any other dietary
drinks.
As a
strawberry addict, the flavor of mySlim is another plus factor for me and now
that I have a go signal, I am much more excited on taking mySlim Yerba Mate
drinks.

mySlim Dietary Supplement in capsules
Recommended use: Take one capsule two times a day after meals.
Not recommended for children, pregnant and lactating women.
Please consult your doctor before using this product
if you are taking prescription drugs or under prescribed medications. |
The package I received also included the above mySlim dietary supplement in capsules. As indicated, this is not for lactating women and therefore I would have to wait for the success of my weaning. I am very much willing to take this once my baby fully stopped breastfeeding in order to yield the best results and for me to give you the best feedbacks. For now, I might give it to my sister and will still post a second hand review once she finished with the bottle.
Together with Yerba Mate (Finomate - the brand name of the yerba mate, green leaf, extract) as the main component of the mySlim capsules, it also includes the following ingredients:
a. Garcinia Cambogia (Garcitin) that reduces appetite, burns fats rapidly, and blocks an enzyme in the body preventing carbohydrates to be stored as fat.
b. L-Carnitine (Carnipure) that converts fats into energy, promotes fat burning and reduces the sensation of hunger an facilitates a reduction in food intake.
c. Green Tea Extract (EGCG) that increases fat burning and aids in fat loss while improving brain function and physical performance.
With all the benefits we can get from mySlim Yerba Mate, it is indeed worth a try and now I am officially adding the mySlim Drinks (and the mySlim Dietary supplement soon) as my fitness and wellness gears. I indeed found a new slimming "mate".
**** mySlim Yerba Mate is available in Mercury Drugstores, Watsons, SouthStar Drugstores, 7 Eleven, Robinsons Supermarket, Rose Pharmacy and St. Josephs Drugstores nationwide.
