My BFF Body Shift Weight Loss Supplement: An Honest Review From a Real Person

My BFF Body Shift Weight Loss Supplement: An Honest Review From a Real Person

My My BFF Body Shift Review

how to lose with my bff Jamie Paretti, the owner of MTM Body, sent me some of the My BFF Body Shift to try–and after I heard about the success stories she’s seen, I couldn’t wait.

This stuff supposedly helps you lose weight fast–and who doesn’t want that? Although I’m down more than 100 pounds since launching my Project Blissful, I still need to lose around 30 to get to my final goal.

So, yeah–I was excited to give it a shot, and I felt like sharing my experiences would help my readers out–so here we are. I’d also like to express my gratitude to Jamie for introducing me to this stuff, because it has certainly already had some really positive effects.

Well, I’m ten days in. So here we go: an honest review from a real person of My BFF Body Shift from MTM Body.

The first day, I took two pills right before breakfast. After a couple of hours, I noticed I felt really hot and my stomach felt a little like it was “working” on something (ok-honesty–it was working on a big poop–HA!).

At first I wondered if I was getting sick, but it passed and I felt fine, only to have a similar hot feeling a few more times throughout the day.

Side Note–I later found out that is a pretty normal reaction to the pills–at least at first. See, part of how these My BFF Body Shift things work is through a process called thermogenesis–which is defined by FreeDictionary.com’s Medical Dictionary as “the production of heat, especially within the animal body.”

Additionally, the following Medical Dictionary-provided definitions apply:

  • diet-induced thermogenesis–a portion of dietary calories in excess of those required for immediate energy requirements are converted to heat rather than stored as fat. Some types of obesity may be related to a defect in this mechanism.
  • nonshivering thermogenesis–increased heat production due to enhancement of normal calorigenic metabolic processes.

 My BFF Review: Can Bee Pollen Really Help You Lose Weight?

I think, based on my research, that a lot of the weight loss effects are related to the bee pollen in the My BFF Body Shift supplements–which I understand can stimulate the metabolic processes, speeding up calorie burn.

It also has lecithin in it, which I’ve read helps dissolve and flush fat from the body–so it can aid in detoxifying your body. (Probably why it makes you poop more!)

Bee pollen is also supposed to help your skin look better/younger, according to reports from Dr. Lars-Erik Essen, a dermatologist in Sweden, who treated many of his patients successfully for skin conditions, including acne and wrinkles with it.

The high concentration of B vitamins could also help you live longer, according to some researchers. Bee pollen reportedly causes side-effects like enhanced energy, stamina and endurance–and it has been touted as an aphrodisiac and fertility aid, among a long list of other physical benefits.

Other ingredients of My BFF Body Shift include the following, according to the MTM Body website: Sickelsenna Seed, Cassia, Seville Orange Flower, Chinese Yam, Aloe, Green Tea, Lotus Leaf, Hawthorn, Honeysuckle, Polyphenols, Dietary Fiber

(By the way–this probably goes without saying, but if you’re allergic to bees or honey, you probably need to stay away from anything with bee pollen in it.)

Does My BFF Body Shift Really Work Like the Manufacturer Claims?

For me, so far, it’s working pretty much as I’m hearing it’s supposed to. On the tenth day in, I’ve lost a couple of pounds (despite it being the week of the month where I usually gain a couple of PMS-induced pounds) and I feel great. But the pounds lost are less important to me than the fact that I FEEL better.

My BFF Body Shift Review: The Pros

Appetite Under Control–Even in the Face of PMS Week

My appetite has been under control for a long time (you have to get control in order to lose 100 pounds, you know!), but during this PMS week, I usually allow myself two to three days of a few indulgences (not excessive!) and it is usually fine. But this week, I’ve been just fine. Sure, the cravings for protein and chocolate are there–and sure, I’m treating myself as always. But now, I’m just finding that a few bites are doing me just fine–whereas before, I’d eat the burger or low-fat concrete with a smile on my face. It’s a good thing!

Digestive System Running More Smoothly

I am one of these people who can literally start feeling the stomach bloat within the first few bites of anything containing onions, peppers, beans and a whole bunch of other various yummy foods, so this one is BIG for me. I typically take a fiber supplement to keep everything on the regular (usually the Walgreen’s version of the fiber/calcium combo supplements), but since I started taking the Body Shift, it hasn’t been necessary.

And the usual gas and bloating (because, let’s be honest, I’m not giving up awesome veggies/fruits, etc. just because of a little bloat) is significantly reduced too–thankfully, since I was seriously considering buying stock in Gas X for a minute.

So within the first probably 48 hours I was FEELING slimmer–and I attribute that in part to this whole digestive regularity aspect of the supplement.

Skin Feels Brighter, Tighter

Ok, I’m gonna be honest–this could TOTALLY be my imagination–and I’m not qualified in any way except that I look at my own face pretty often–but I feel like my skin looks better. Seems like it’s a little brighter and a little tighter on my face–and even other areas are tightening up pretty nicely.

Like I said–this could be just something I am seeing because I want to see it–but from my perspective, it could be related to the claims about skin improvement and anti-aging properties of bee pollen.

Size Six–First Time in 17 Years

No items found.

That’s right. I have been holding steady at a size eight for months. Maybe it’s a coincidence, maybe not–but the other day, I bought a size six jeans and they fit just fine. First time since before I got pregnant with my oldest child. I’ll take it. 🙂

My BFF Body Shift Review: The Cons

Cotton Mouth–You won’t forget to drink your water when you take Body Shift–your mouth gets really dry on this stuff. But, to be fair, when I do drink enough water, I don’t have this problem. So maybe this one ought to be on the pro list, sorta.

Punished by Poop–I notice when I eat things that are higher in fat, I poop more. I guess this is related to the claims that this stuff gets rid of extra calories for you. It’s not debilitating–just sort of makes you think before you eat–which I guess is also not that bad. But it can feel a little annoying!

Super Sweats–You will sweat when you take this stuff–in short bursts. I call them hot flashes, but as someone who hasn’t yet experienced menopause, my friend Lori (who is in the midst of it) tells me that I haven’t experienced anything. Now that I understand WHY they happen, I’m not so frustrated about it. But when you workout or exercise heavily, you might find yourself sweating a little harder than usual.

Tummy Trouble–For the first few days, I intermittently experienced a little bit of an upset stomach, but this has since resolved itself.

So that’s that. I’ve also been doing some research on how to take the My BFF Body Shift in order to get the best and most potent possible effects, so stay tuned for a post detailing my findings very soon. I’ll also return with more updates on my progress as I continue testing these things out.

Amp It Up: How to Get Better Results From Bella Vi Amp’d Up Weight Loss Supplements

fitness motivational quotes 8So, since I’ve been taking this Bella Vi Insane Amp’d stuff and started to notice the positive effects, I decided I wanted to maximize the effects as much as possible.

Being the nerdy journalism-type that I am, I started doing my research. I wanted to know what people were doing to increase the effectiveness (because if you’re going to have positive effects from a single dose of a supplement, why not get the maximum benefit possible, right?).

So I dug around online in forums and blogs, and I talked to people who are finding success with Bella Vi weight loss supplements. Here are some tips to help you get the maximum benefits possible from the Bella Vi Insane Amp’d.

How to Get Better Results From Bella Vi Amp’d Up: Tips From Successful Users

Get Better Results From Bella Vi Amp’d Up: When to Take It

From my research, it seems that people are getting the most benefit from Amp’d Up when they take it on an empty stomach and then wait 45 minutes before they eat. I’m giving this a shot and have been doing this for 2 days now. I think I see an increase, but I’ll keep you posted.

Another timing tip: some users say that if you typically don’t eat breakfast OR you are a big night-time eater, you should take the supplements closer to lunchtime. This way, you might be able to avoid those night-time munchies altogether.

Get Better Results From Bella Vi Amp’d Up: Stay Cool to Burn More Calories

According to what I’ve been reading and hearing, Bella Vi Amp’d Up induces thermogenesis, which in this sense means that your body is heated from the inside. That causes your metabolism to get faster and makes you sweat.

And, as I understand it, thermogenesis is activated  faster in a cold environment or when the body is cold. So let yourself be cold. You’ll burn more calories. I’ve been using ice in my water for a couple of days and trying to stay cool when I can. I’ll keep you posted on the progress.

Get Better Results From Bella Vi Amp’d Up: Drink More Water (A Lot More!)

You already know that your weight loss is directly affected by your intake of water and of food. The Bella Vi supplement increases elimination as it detoxifies your body in the first ten days or so, meaning you’ll need to drink a LOT more water. I’m just going into my third week and can attest to this one! But it’s not terrible.

One expert recommended eight 16-ounce bottles of water each day. That’s twice the generally a accepted amount. But according to what I found in my research, you will not lose as much weight if you don’t drink the water-which, to me, is pretty obvious, with or without the pills.

Still, in my experience so far (as a person who is already a big water-drinker who avoids soda and sugary drinks) I feel thirstier more often, and I’m definitely seeing the loss of inches–which, honestly, totally rocks my world , not gonna lie.

So those are the best tips I’ve found so far on how to get better results from Bella Vi Amp’d Up. Have you tried this or any Bella Vi weight loss supplements before? Tell me what you think of them and how you have done with them in the comments section, below!

Oh yeah…I almost forgot. Here’s $10 to spend in the MTM Body store. 🙂
