Skinny Fiber Review: Does It Really Work?

There are so many slimming supplements on the market. If you decide you need a bit if extra help losing a few pounds, where do you start?

There are any number of powders, shakes and pills that all promise amazing results. But do they work?

Skinny Fiber is one such product.

It is a dietary supplement capsule that claims to help you feel full and eat less. The proprietary fat burning blend promises to helps reduce fat absorption¹ , flush toxins and boost your metabolism. It claims you will get a host of other benefits to help you achieve your skinny potential!

Time to see if any of these claims are true. Read this review.

This is one of a number of supplementary products from Skinny Body Care. The company was founded in 2011 by Ben Glinsky, a network marketing leader and entrepreneur.

The products can be bought direct or via many outlets as part of their multi level marketing.

They state they work with a team of the top formulators in the industry. There are no details as to who these formulators are. There are also therefore no details as to their qualifications.

The product is made up of two blends.

The Proprietary Blend contains 1160mg of:

Glucomannan Powder

This is a natural, water-soluble dietary fiber extracted from the roots of the elephant yam, also known as konjac. Some studies have shown it be effective in aiding weight loss. This is in conjunction with a reduced calorie diet. There are other studies that have shown it will not help weight loss without diet changes².

Caralluma Fimbriata Powder

This is an edible cactus found in India. It has been used for thousands of years in Indian culture. It is believed to suppress appetite This helped during long hunts and times of famine. There have been inconclusive studies of the effectiveness of this ingredient. One study done on 14 plant extracts did find that this was one of three that may suppress appetite³.

Cha De Bugre Powder

Cha De Bugre is a tree that is native to Brazil. It is also found in the tropical forests of Paraguay and Argentina. Some people believe that it may suppress appetite. There is insufficient evidence that this is the case.

The Proprietary Enzyme Blend contains 360mg of digestive enzymes including:

Amylase, Protease, Lipase and Bromelain

These are enzymes that help with the digestion of food. They help our bodies obtain nutrients from what we eat.

Papain

This is extracted from the leaves and fruit of the Papaya plant. It may help digestion, relieve pain, and reduce inflammation⁴.

The company states that Glucomannan is a unique all natural soluble dietary fiber. They say it is believed to expand in your stomach to help make you feel full and eat less.

They also claim the appetite suppressant nature of Caralluma Fimbriata and Cha De Bugre will help with weight management.

They further state that weak immune systems as a result of poor digestion will make us gain weight.

There is some clinical evidence that these ingredients may help with appetite and weight loss. The results of some of these studies is inconclusive.

There is no independent clinical trial of the efficacy of this product.

This product should be taken 30 minutes before meals with at least a full glass of water or other liquid.

There are side effects indicated. There is however a warning:

Taking this product without adequate fluid may cause it to swell and block your throat or esophagus and may cause choking. Do not take this product if you have difficulty in swallowing. If you experience chest pain, vomiting, or difficulty in swallowing or breathing after taking this product, seek immediate medical attention. If you are pregnant, nursing or taking any medications, consult your doctor before use. Discontinue use of this product and consult your doctor if any adverse reactions occur. Keep out of the reach of children.

This product is marketed as a diet product. There is no mention of having to follow a healthy eating and exercise regime. I think it is fair to say that taking pills alone will not make you lose weight.

This is a multi-level marketing company. There may not be any guarantee about after-sales service for customers.

The company has an F rating with the Better Business Bureau. It has 4 logged unresolved complaints.

Of 332 reviews on Amazon 41% rate the product above average. It has an overall 2.9* rating. 40% of the reviews rate the product 1*.

Some people have been very happy with the product and have lost weight.

Chriatina Parkin writes:

I purchased this product in hopes to aid in shedding some unwanted weight I have. I found this product to be very helpful. I lost 5lbs in a week. My appetite decreased quite a bit and it seemed it only took a few bites to feel full. The majority of the time I didn’t feel I had any hunger at all, which I found to be awesome. No jittery or heart racing feelings at all I would recommend this product to a friend.

Some have also had good results, but only after changing their eating habits. Camelion says that it works great if you are willing to change your diet and exercise routine.

He writes:

Changed my diet and used this and lost around 30 lbs. In a month. Just light physical activity from work. When I was taking this while drinking a few beers daily, eating what I wanted, I wasn’t losing any weight.

Then there are the unhappy customers. Many people comment that the product does not work.

Michelle Wheeler writes:

Won’t buy again. Didn’t make me feel full. Haven’t lost any weight either. Not worth the money they charge for it.

Some people report side effects such as headaches and upset stomach. Some are disappointed that they believed the promises the company makes.

I am not happy with Skinny Fiber! It promises a lot but does nothing much! I don’t really think any pill can help you lose weight!

The product can bore bought from Skinny Body Care. It is also available at other outlets like Amazon, Ebay and GNC. It is also available via multi level marketing distributors.

There are also two other options where you can choose 3 or 6 of seven products sold by the company. You can mix and match as you want. The cost of this is:

See below how the official site looks like.

The company offers a 30 day refund on the first purchase.

They will accept return of unused product.

The refund excludes shipping and handling.

We all know that there is no magic pill that will make us lose weight. There are many supplements that may help if combined with a healthy eating plan and exercise.

Is Skinny Fiber one of these products? It seems to work for some but not for others.

The price is quite high. You might want to buy a Glucomannan supplement for a much lower price. There are many available on Amazon form as little as $9.00.

If you do have the spare cash and think this may work for you then you do have a 30 day money back guarantee. This is if you buy it from the company.
