    I saw these advertised this week and like any typical "OMG, THERE'S A QUICK FIX OPTION?????" junkie that I am, I got straight on the website...

    From what I can gather they are podcasts/CD's that you listen to....kinda like meditation/hypnosis.

    Has ANYONE tried anything like this and really seen results?? There are LOADS of testimonials...but how much do you believe?? :noway: :smile:

    No you just put a dessert inside and than TRY and eat it. Its like those toys you give to dogs that have a little piece of meat or whatever to keep them from getting bored!! It looks seriously weird though.

    I think it is like giving you the chance to taste the yummy stuff but not "overeat" on it

    funny how they won't reveal the nutritional facts.
    Did I miss that?

    They can't because you chose what you put in a bag which you then lick.

    It is actually like one of those things you give to a dog, to keep them entertained throughout the day....

    "Skinny Pods flood your taste buds with flavor, but restrict the calories that reach your stomach. The Pods' patent-pending design allows you to reach TTSS while eating as little as 67 calories of chocolate (or 36 calories of gummi bears)."

    Think i'd rather just eat the 67 Calories of Chocolate than looking like an idiot trying to get it out of one of those purple things! :laugh:

    So do you lick it? That just seems weird and gross. There are no quick fixes!

    I've just showed this to my husband.
    He was amazed and said " how can you eat fish & chips from that cone pot?" :noway:

    If I have to explain that fish & chips are not a snack it beats me how he lost 79 Lbs!!

    You'd have to be REALLY stupid for one of these to work. I know that it doesn't matter how much I try to trick my brain, when it comes to cravings, NOTHING will ever fool it. So if I want 10 pieces of chocolate, I will have to eat 10 pieces of chocolate or at least as many as necessary until my brain says "stop". If this takes me 15 minutes, and instead of eating 10 I eat just 1 by sucking on it, I'll still want more!! Best solution: go for a run and then see if you want chocolate. Problem solved.

    Yep, put the snack of your choice in there and then lick it...am assuming there are tiny holes in the top to let the flavour and little tidgy tiny bits through!
