Anyone tried Propolene for weight loss? If so, did it work?

The stuff binds vitamins, so you can have malnutrition from a good diet, if you use this. What it does is acts like a sponge in the intestine, and food gets caught there and can't be absorbed. Your stools will contain nutrients that your body couldn't get at.....so you feel full, but your food is wasted (to some extent).
It's fine, I suppose, for the intended purpose. Make darn sure you don't take it with every meal, and....AND take your vitamins etc. with the meal that doesn't contain this stuff.

Lar,
Thanks for the valuable info regarding Propolene. My wife who is not web online savvy has asked me to research it for her. Currently, she is trying CortaSlim. I don't see a difference in her appearance, so it may not be working. I will read up on the Propolene, but I am convinced that she just needs to stop eating fatty junk food and drinking sodas. Thanks again.

> FSTSodas. There's a real problem, if they're sweetened with glucose/fructose syrup. Obesity is strongly linked to fructose intake. Fructose plus carbs equals fat storage. I think the correlation of obesity with fructose intake is nearly perfect; as US fructose intake increased, it nearly perfectly matched the increase in obesity. Start label-reading, and get the fructose out of the picture. Invert syrup is another name for glucose-fructose syrup.

Lar,
Exactly and she drinks regular sodas everyday. Do diet sodas have the fructose too? They probably don't because she refuses to drink diet sodas because they probably don't satisfy her cravings for fructose. Thanks.

Diet sodas do not have fructose. But if she won't drink diet, there's water. Sparkling water, soda water....both satisfy thirst better than plain water because of the acidity.
Even fruit juice has less fructose than regular soda, and fructose is "fruit sugar".

I drink mainly water myself. The sparkling water is a good idea, but knowing my wife, she has to have regular Pepsi.My wife is actually taking Relacore, not CortaSlim, as I previously wrote, as most of her fat is in her mid section, but like I said before I don't see any difference. Perhaps, it is too soon (3 weeks) to see any difference. I doubt it though, as she works long hours sitting in the office and gets no real physical exercise. She used to walk with me everyday, but the last couple of years she has not. Thanks for the info.

How does acidity help with thirst.
I'd read that cold water helps..as in the cold part. And I'd heard that sucking ice cube helps..as in cold again I guess.
Never heard acidity helps?
Is it known how cold /acidity helps? and if you know how it works, could you roughly explain how. Thanks..I'm always thirsty :-)
I tested out with undetectable ADH twice end of last year..(once spot test, once after night fast and water deprevation for 10 hrs or so). My thirst mechism works just fine though..or perhaps its overactive.I think maybe Squirms help I think, so maybe its that acidity again?
Squirms (have cane sugar, glucose from wheat, wheat starch, gelatine, citric acid, tartaric acid, fumaric acid, and colors flovours extracted from tumeric, elderberry,paprika oleoresin, anthocyanin from grape extract, chorophyll, fruit juice concentrate)Jan
