A friend of mine says she has started shedding off lbs after she started eating Activia .. Am sorry if this question sounds silly but , I personally have never glanced at the product so I really don't know anything about it ... Does it really help you loose weight ? Is it healthy ? especially if you're breastfeeding ? LMK pls ..thanks !

    All Activia did for me, the one time I tried it, was make me have to run to the bathroom about an hour later. No exaggeration... that's probably why she lost weight, it's one powerful laxative!

    there used to be a show on the womens network, called The Shopping Bags, two women, who tested various products, and would occassionally bring in other guests to do some of these so-called challanges, like the Activia 14 day one.
    two of them had to stop after 3 or 4 days because they couldn't get out of the bathroom. i vowed at that point, that i wouldn't try it, because that is not a problem i have.
    a friend of mine gave it a shot once, just one small pot, and it upset him tremendously.
    if you have a senisitivity to foods, and have the tendancy to 'explode'.... i wouldn't recommend it.

    It makes you lose weigh by giving you loose bowels.

    I'd rather eat plain greek yogurt. Its not got anything in it other than natural ingredients and lots o' protein.

    I would eat that sometimes but only if I need help doing #2.

    Nevertheless, it taste good!

    i am currently breastfeeding my 5 week old , been having one activia a day, the regular kind not low fat, and its really helped to keep me regular and takes all the bloating away, i am "going" once a day which i was only going once every few days before, i recommend it.
