Subject: Trying to find supplements

Just found this message board, thought somewhere here might be able to help me. I come from a very overweight family, my mother is over 100 pounds over weight. We joked when I was a kid because I was so skinny, like I was adopted. But now as an adult, i look back and realize as a child I hated bread. I would not eat a sandwhich, pizza, or any item that I claimed was "to bready". Once I reached high school, I started gaining weight, and this was when I discovered other foods like doughnuts and pastries and such that I would not eat as a child, since they were a flour product.

I gained about 25 pounds, which for those of you who are struggling with alot of extra weight, I know that is not much. But in high school, it felt like my life was over. I went on Jenny Craig, weight watchers and so on. Lost weight, gained it back. This continued through my marriage, and once I got pregnant with my first child, for some reason I lost a ton of weight. I came out after having my first child weighing 10 pounds less than before pregnancy, and once I nursed I lost even more. Now 3 children later, I am at some of my lowest weight ever.

Looking through my past I realize it is all based on my consumption of white flour and sugar. My weight goes up when I include those items. I can not say I am on a low carb diet cause I eat rice, brown rice,oatmeal, couscous, corn,potatoes and all of that. I just dont eat any processed white flour or sugar. Ok.. I lied, I do eat cake on a brithday or some french bread if we go out for italian, but I dont keep these products in my home.

OK... now that I have told a long story. My question.

I also found I can control my weight and stay at about 110 and a size 3, with 2 products. One is a supplement that gives me some energy, not sure if this really help with weight loss, but it makes me feel good. And also a product called Appitol. This controls my appetite and I really dont eat breads, and I really dont want them. If I dont take this, I really crave breads and pastas and such. On days I do crave any white flour I also include a product called Carbitol, which contains banaba, which makes carbs not taste so good, or so this is how it makes me feel.

My problem is I currently get these products from a MLM company. I do not want to have to belong to a MLM to get these items. Does anyone know of similar products, where can I get them? without the high cost of belonging to MLM and monthly orders, or without having to buy them at retail from a person in the MLM. Can I get something similar from a health food store? and what would it be under?

The ingredients in Appitol are- vegetable Cellulose, griffonia seed (I love this item, hard to find)

and in carbitol is- phaseolus vulgaris seed (what is this?), Gymnena sylvestre leaf, banaba leaf

Has anyone heard of these types of products, or a similar combo with simliar results in any over the counter products that do not have the $40 each price tag. Thanks for any assistance. I have searched all over online with no results.

Liz :)
