Oh for sure! I use it with my sauna belt and vibration machine all the time!
Sorry. But there is no magic crystal that you can smell that will curb your appetite, there is no magic pill from Germany that will improve your sex drive, lower your appetite and cause all your cellulite to disappear, there is no magic powder from China that will increase your metabolism.
Exercise and being careful what you eat are the tried and true ways

Well that was good for a chuckle this morning, Shelley.
But for Tina, sad but true...the only thing that is going to curb your appetite and help you lose weight is yourself taking control of your diet. If you would stop eating all the crap that is out there in the stores and start eating real foods, protein-fiber-complex carbs, you would curb your appetite naturally. No need of magic sprinkles. Just use common sense.
When you grocery shop, buy only food items in their natural forms, meats, eggs, beans, dairy, vegetables, fruit, whole grain breads and crackers. Do not even go down the isles with the box mixes and bags of chips. Remember, grocery shop the perimeter of the store. Don't even go down the center isles where all the processed foods are housed.

There are supposed to be some essential oils that can curb appetite (you can maybe find the info on an internet search), but I definitely wouldn't pay for something like this!
Fiber is a natural appetite suppressant, and by eating primarily whole foods, I think most people will find that they can reach their ideal weight (barring thyroid problems or some other imbalance).
The problem nowdays is that there is so much done to stimulate our appetite (restaurants using red and orange colors, which are shown t stimulate appetite, millions or maybe even billions of dollars spent on advertising and finding ways to psychologically manipulate people into desiring products, including food, etc.).

You know, all last summer, the beer companies here were advertising like crazy on the radio. Now, I don't drink beer, or any alcohol for that matter, but all summer I felt strangely compelled to buy beer for my SO And even HE doesn't really drink beer very much!

and why are all the sugar cereals in brightly colored boxes with characters all over them...and positioned in the middle of the store shelves so kids will see them easier?
Even when I go shopping, if I happen to get in a checkout that has all the candy bars and crap right there...even my kids will fondly fondle the candy bars and suckers. I really try to get in the checkouts that do not have candy displays just for that reason. I have filled out complaint forms at our local Target about the candy displays in the checkout lanes. And my brother owns a grocery store and I've scolded him for being guilty of the same practice. He says he sells alot of candy that way because the parents will let the kids have the sucker as long as they stop whining about wanting to get candy. It's all a ploy to get the consumer to buy more of whatever it is.

Shelley - no fair, you've been keeping secrets!
Just want to chime in w/agreement re advertisement, candy placement at checkout, etc. But I'm a mean mother, I just say NO.

I don't know, ladies, the pixie dust seemed to do fantastic things for Cinderella. Or, wait... was it the shoes?? By god, I think it WAS the shoes! Now I can visit zappos.com with no guilt! And next time my SO complains about the number of pairs on my side of the closet, I will tell him to shut his trap and be happy they are keeping my butt on the smallish side.

Most definitely!
I had to laugh when I visited a particular grocery store for the first time. I look for foods that are natural, organic if possible, and I was starting to notice that, while they did have them, they were all "behind the posts" in the various sections of the store. When I got to the p.b. aisle, I decided to see if my "healthy stuff is hidden behind the posts, because people interested in eathing healthy will go out of their way to look for it' theory was valid. There, behind the post, was the natural (the REAL natural, not that new Skippy crap) peanut butter! Laughable, but also a bit sad!
And isn't it funny how when a product remains the same, but the box or label changes, it suddenly looks tastier? I've been attracted to containers of orange juice that looked very temptingly delicious---withh the lable "NEW look...same great taste" on it!" (with the 'new" in big print).
And Shelley, advertisers definitely know how to push our buttons (even buttons we don't have!)! I find if I watch too many ads, I start wanting something...even if it's something I don't REALLY want! (late night is especially bad! Somehow, when one is sleepy, those crappy exercise devices look very tempting!)

Yes, how about that inflatible cushy thing people are doing "ab"
work on? You know, that commercial where they are all laughing and describing how much fun their ab workouts are now?

> As an alternative to this "sprinkle thin," how about sand? Some of that on my food would certainly cut my appetite (as well as add some fiber? and minerals!)
Kathryn, LOL! I'll bet you can make a million dollars with that idea, just call it something really sexy, like "calorie assassin."
