Temper fasting mints

[Anonymous]

Ok, someone with a medical background, please smack some sense into me as to why I shouldn't try these. I feel like it could be 80s diet pill redux, but also I can't find anything bad online about citravarin, the active ingredient?

I think it depends on what your goals are - just consuming fewer calories? Or improving a hormone imbalance? In the Obesity Code, he talks about the fact that artificial sweeteners produce an insulin response the same as real sugar, so taking mints to prolong a fast would be counterproductive if your goal is improving insulin resistance.

It's marketing, pure and simple. If you want the taste of something sweet in your mouth, drink a flavored seltzer or herbal tea.

Oh Lordy no. Artificial sweeteners are the devil! Just drink some tea or black coffee to get through your fast.

I hate to use this phrase becuase it feels empty but these actually "work". I had a problem with night snacking after completing a fast and Temper mints helped. to each their own but these worked great for me.

I got an ad for these on Instagram and made an impulse buy. The mints worked for me but it was really the coaching that made the difference. I ended up losing 15 pounds on the advice of my coach. Temper works if you want it too

But he was wrong about that. Some do, some don’t. It’s not all artificial sweeteners.
