Product Description Product Description why Lepicol lighter? Lepicol lighter is a high fibre product containing 7 strains of live bacteria, chromium, an essential mineral that helps the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels, glucomannan, a plant fibre which contributes to weight loss in the context of an energy restricted diet and Psyllium husk, which contributes to maintaining normal bowel transit. Take Lepicol lighter 10 minutes before a meal to help reduce appetite. How do I take it? Lepicol is not soluble but water retentive, absorbing many times its weight in water, so when it is mixed with water It does not dissolve but over time creates a 'gel'. This soft gel helps ease the stool along the lower digestive tract and encourages natural peristalsis (contraction of the smooth muscles to propel contents through the digestive tract). It is essential that you take Lepicol lighter with a liquid. Therefore, we recommend that you mix it with 1-2 glasses of liquid - ideally with water, but something with flavour like or juice or fresh fruit may make it more palatable.

It's Working For Me
My usage of this product has been two sachets per day, each with about a glass and a half of water before eating. I find it neutral tasting, neither obnoxious nor pleasant.* It has not reduced my appetite* It has definitely improved my digestive function* Since using Lepicol Lighter I am more easily hitting my weight loss target of one pound per week. That may sound laughably little, but over time means I can achieve my goal.Having initially received a free sample for review I am now buying the product, and that says it all.

Didnt work for me ....
Product arrived and I am not sure what I was expecting having read the reviews and an article in a health magazine. Its tasteless and like sludge. If anything it impacted my bowel by causing constipation and this with drinking two or more litres of water a day and a large glass of water with the sachet. It just didnt work for me at all. Its tantamount to everyone being different. Otherwise cant fault the delivery or packaging. Just didnt work for me ....

Heavily BOverpriced
The product is a pefectly decent fibre supplement, though nothing special. The addition of the gut bacteria and other ingredients to help with weight loss may work (I've not used it long enough to confirm or not). My biggest issue is that this is a very expensive product. Using their suggested 3-sachets a day, this pack provides just 10 days worth of supplement. You'd be better off buying a supply psyllium Husk and take some separate gut bacteria supplements

No change
Didn't notice a huge difference, but maybe it takes longer to notice the effects.

Good diet product
I’ve used pretty much just about every diet supplement and food you can imagine! Once upon a time I used to weigh 25 stone and I have lost just over 13 of that. I also used to work for Holland and Barrett so I’ve done a lot of research/reading into alternative products.I generally think psyllium husk is a good one. I don’t think it will help massive amounts if used alone, but in conjunction with a reduced calorie diet it can help work wonders and reduce those hunger pangs. It works by making you feel fuller, it’s important that you drink lots with this product as the psyllium husk swells in your stomach. So the product combined with extra fluid intake is onto a good thing.It also contains konjac glucomannan which is actually what zero noodles are made out of- so calorie free and filling, live bacteria which is good for your tummy, and chromium which helps regulate sugar levels. So this specialist product contains more ingredients than standard Lepicol.The box is very attractive, especially to women being bright pink, and the product itself is pretty tasteless, I usually put it in a pint of orange squash. It says to have just before a meal (I guess to make you eat less of said meal) however my psyche doesn’t really work like that, if I’m eating something nice I don’t tend to stop eating when I am full at first instance!! So I take it as an alternative to a snack, and this is also how forever living use their fibre sachets in clean 9.I would have given it 5 stars, however I think it is quite pricey for what it is.

My Trial with Warm Water
I have been using this for a few days now and already have noticed a difference.Normally, im an intermittent fasting-low carb diet follower. This diet works best for me. I'm not hardcore - I have off days, when I splurge with a feast to satisfy my wildest dreams. I start everyday with two tall glasses of warm, fresh lemon water (I worked myself upto two, over some time). I then have breakfast three hours after waking up and then eating whatever I want in a ten hour window.This has kept me at a good fit weight, my skin is blemish-free due to the high water consumption both with meals and first thing in the morning.I've been wanting to decrease the eating window to 8 hours but have found it difficult as I do love a good full meal.Adding 1 sachet of this to my morning's warm water has helped suppress my hunger enough for me to do a longer stretch before eating a hearty breakfast. The warm water also helps the Lepicol act faster, expanding in the stomach and keeping me full for longer. I then have a further one, an hour before my next meal.It tastes like an unripe banana mixed with weetabix, it isn't that unpleasant. Its also great for gut bacteria, the husky formula feeds the good bacteria helping them proliferate, improving gut and digestive health; which in turn, nourishes the largest organ of your body - your skin.
