Weight-loss Plateau? 10 of my favorite weight management products

Updated: Oct 10, 2022

I had an eating disorder in high school from being bullied as a kid. When I finally got better, I gained a whopping 8 kilos and I spent 2 full years improving my diet and working out to finally return to my high school weight. I also got healthy and became more fit. My allergies even went away!

During this time, I've encountered a few weight-loss plateau that was hard to push through. I also receive a lot of DMs about my work out, diet, and weight management related questions. Today, I'm sharing 10 of my weight management products that helped me through my plateau. When choosing weight-loss products, it's extremely important to me for them to be harmless, free of medication, non-reliant, natural, and certified.

Before we begin, I have to remind you all, as always: all healthy weight loss products are used only to help us maintain our figure and reach our body goals more easily. Please don't rely on weight loss products and continue to eat crap. In order to stay healthy and fit in the long term, keep a balanced diet, cut back on refined carbs, get enough sleep, and drink enough water.

There's no water, no sugar, and no acetic acid. You can taste the sweetness and sourness of fresh lemons and also see the richness of the pectin.

9.【GREENGOLD】D.9 PLUS Magnesium Capsules

Price

NTD$1,960

Quality Sleep and Fat Burn—Why I love this

If you have the habit of checking you weight before bed and in the morning, you'd notice that no matter how much you exercise, you'd notice that you lose more weight during the night than during an entire day of activity. Most people are under the misconception that fat burn happens while you're working out. The truth is, your body is most likely to burn fat while you are resting and recovering in your sleep. To maximize those fat-burning benefits, it's important to ensure that you have deep and quality sleep. D.9 PLUS magnesium capsule uses patented pure deep ocean magnesium, with a whopping 67% absorption rate, which is 1.1–1.6 times higher than regular magnesium. Taking one before bed helps you relax and enjoy better sleep, allowing your body to focus on burning fat to repair and recover.

8.【GREENGOLD】Turmeric PLUS

Price

NTD$2,760

Improved Metabolism—Why I love this

Turmeric is not only anti-inflammatory, it also helps boost metabolism and help you sweat while you exercise. At the same time, it alleviates muscle sore. For people who are trying to gain muscle, I suggest that you take it after the meal that is furthest away from your workout. For instance, I work out in the morning, so I take mine after dinner. This turmeric tablet uses US patented curcumin C3, with chromium yeast which is known to be "the assassin of pear-shaped body types." It can help increase your metabolism by 14 times, it also helps with reglar bowel movements. The addition of patented black pepper extract also helps activate the curcumin and increase it's absorption.

7.【Funcare burner】Superlative Svelte Herbal Formula Drink

Price

NTD$1,200

Fat Burn and Skincare—Why I love this

burner's superlative svelte herbal formula drink received the Noguchi Medical Institute of Medicine Gold Award, and it's also a supplement approved by Korean KFDA. The small liquid molecules are easy to absorb. Not only does it help with fat burn, there's also the addition of edible hyaluronic acid and Fibersol®-2 dietary fiber. The berry taste is delicious and it contains multiple berry extract that can help with anti-aging, including cranberry extract which is important for female intimate health. The sweet drink can help with fat burning, skincare, and beauty. You can drink it both straight-up or add it to your recipe. I personally love adding it to a fresh cucumber salad or adding it to some sparking water for a bubbly drink.

6.【Funcare burner】Superlative Herbal Formula Probiotics

Price

NTD$1,600 (official Shopee: NTD$920)

Clean Bowels on-the-go—Why I love this

Burner's Superlative Herbal Formula Probiotics have passed the international certification of A.A. Clean Label, proven to be100% without additives. It also complies with food safety standards, with labels of GRAS from the United States and QPS from the European Union. Burner's probiotics are packaged instead of bottled or boxed, making them extremely easy to carry around.

I personally like using super small bags, they look really fashionable, can easily complete outfits, and are super convenient to take around on a bike. The downside is, there's not much space left once I put in my phone and wallet. I used to take a German brand probiotics that come in glass bottles. I always have to put them in a small zip-lock bag if I plan on taking them while I'm out. But my bag has this weird super power where empty zip-locks magically disappear forever. I can never reuse them and I am constantly looking for mini zip-locks. I honestly don't know what the problem is.

Burner‘s probiotic capsules are packaged in small resealable bags that I can easily fit in my tiny bags. The resealable bags are pretty tough and do not get damaged stuffed next to my keys and other things.

Burner's Superlative Herbal Formula Probiotics uses patented probiotics from Spain and are protected with capsules. They can survive gastric juice and bile salts, safely arriving in your intestines to do their jobs. I was used to going to the bathroom in morning but since I've been taking Burner, I would go after work and be able to go to sleep happily knowing that there's no trash left in me. I also like to check my weight, body fat, and other stats before bed. Now I can numbers that are much more accurate.

5.【CHOYeR】Elf Shape Capsule 5X

Price

3,880元

Increased Night-time Metabolism—Why I love this

Elf Shape capsule is taken 30 minutes before bed and helps promote your metabolism while sleeping. It could help you burn as much calories as you would jogging for an hour by just getting a good night's sleep.

I often think "I'm going to bed soon!" And boom, I'm still awake 2 hours later and it's 3 AM. But since I have to pay attention to the time while I'm taking Elf Shape, it actually made me go to bed on time. Which is a good thing cause it's important to get sufficient sleep no matter if your goal is to be in good shape or good health.

Though it is used to increase your metabolism while sleeping, it does not affect my sleep at all. When I told my sister about it, she also asked if I would become too heightened to rest properly. But I didn't feel that at all, I still sleep like I'm in a coma.

When I was taking Elf Shape on it's own, I initially did not feel or see a large difference. But a week later I felt that I looked better and my scale also verified it with changes in my body-fat percentage. I honestly thought that no matter how lean you are, you'd have fat rolls when sitting down. But the other day when I was taking selfies on the roof while tanning, I saw that my tummy was obviously tighter even when I was sitting down. I could even see my upper abs!

4.【Funcare burner】Superlative Herbal Formula Tablet

Price

NYD$2,000 (official Shopee: NTD$1,260)

Prevents Body Fat Formation—Why I Love This

burner superlative herbal formula tablet is certified by the government to help prevent body fat formation. It's best to take them 30 minutes before your meal. If you have the memory span of a goldfish like I do, you can set an alarm. But if you really forget, it's completely fine to take it in the middle of a meal as well.

The first time I tried this was during Chinese New Year, when I had to face a whole week of unrelenting cheat days. The fat burning qualities of these tablets have been verified by my body fat percentage shown on my scale. I also had no issue going to the bathroom even when I was PMSing like crazy and would usually be constipated.

3.【Funcare burner】F.I.P.100 Dietary Fiber

Price

NTD$1,200 (official Shopee: NTD$549)

Improve Gastrointestinal Functions + Regulate Blood Lipid Levels—Why I Love This

Burner's Dietary Fiber Powder passed the international certification of A.A. Clean Label, proven to be100% without additives. The clear and simple ingredient list also put my mind at ease.

As we work hard to look our best, a lot of people place scrutiny on their weight and body fat, neglecting visceral body fat and blood lipid levels. Burner's Dietary Fiber Powder uses the exclusive F.I.P. dietary fiber and has 2 TFDA certifications, officially recognized as being effective in improving gastrointestinal functions and regulating blood lipid levels. It also received the Monde Selection Gold Award and Noguchi Medical Institute of Medicine Gold Award.

The greens that I took in the past are, well, green. The original flavor greens from MyProtein also has this weird grassy taste so I had to get flavored ones, which I don't love either. The grassy taste shines through. But Burner's dietary fiber powder is white. When I take it alone it kind of has the milky taste of chewable calcium tablets. There is no distinct flavor and can be easily added to your food.

Recently, I like to have a protein shake for dinner. I would never dare to add greens to my shake in the past, or the whole glass would be an excruciating painful process to ingest. But now, I'd always add a pack of burner dietary fiber along with a pack of collagen. It does not affect the taste at all. While I rejuvenate my skin with collagen and supplement my body with protein, and now the added bonus of improving my gastrointestinal functions in just one glass really makes me feel like I have my life together. This is proper adulting.

2.【CHOYeR】Fairy Appetite Capsule 5X

Price

NTD$3,880

Bye Bye Water Weight, Carb Cut And Fat Blocking—Why I Love This

CHOYeR Fairy Appetite capsules are taken 30 minutes before lunch. It helps block the absorption of refined carbs and bad fat. It also helps strengthen your metabolism to get rid of water weight. This pill is super cute and really pretty when you look up close. Because they use a special micro-encapsulation technology, incorporating 2 micro-capsules. The active ingredients are fully protected and the capsules can be slowly dissolved layer by layer so that the ingredients pass through your stomach safely without being damaged and can be fully absorbed and utilized.

I usually eat my first meal at 13:00. I wake up around 10:00 and would do my daily workout, shower, then check my emails, then take a pill before I start preparing my lunch. That's a perfect 30-minute gap. Office workers can set an alarm 30-minutes before lunch break.

Out of the 10 products I am recommending today, this is the best for people with large appetites like I do. I did not deliberately change my diet or food portions during this period of time but I was obviously a lot more satiated than usual.

I eat almost the same thing every day. I weigh and portion out my turkey or chicken breast for lunch and use the same container for the bone broth I have in the afternoon. This usually gets me around 80% full so that I am not bursting but not hungry either. While I was taking Fairy Appetite Capsule I honestly went from having a monster's appetite to a fairy's appetite. I'd feel full half way through my food and stay satiated for a long time. I had no room for dinner.

Dinner time is usually when we have the least will-power, which is what makes this product so perfect. A side note, when I was taking this, I had no excess water retention and I wasn't bloated even before my period. It also helps with your digestion and bowel movement. I'd usually go to the bathroom and hour after dinner then again before bed when I am on this. Which fits my lifestyle pretty perfectly.

1.【CHOYeR】Devil Curve Capsule 5X

Price

3,880元

Vanquish Bad Fats and Smooth Bowel Movements—Why I Love This

Devil Curve capsules are taken 30 minutes after dinner. It contains patented CLA safflower oil and seabuckthorn oil that help combat bad fats. It also contains UK patented purple tea and US patented dragon fruit seed that not only help prevent the absorption of bad fats, but also promote bowel movements.

My dinner is usually split between 2 fifteen-minute breaks between classes, so I would very promptly stop eating completely at 21:00 sharp. Most people are free after dinner time and can just check the clock to make sure that they take the capsule on time.

Out of these 10 products, this has the most obvious effect on me. When I first started taking it, it was a week before my period and I have not had a bowel movement in 3 days. I was very troubled and originally wanted to take medication for it. Sadly, we didn't have any at home at the time, so I thought "let's see how COYeR is going to perform." Little did I know what was in store for me. An hour after dinner, I started going to the bathroom every recess and everything that I ate since I was born left my body. My belly also quickly flattened. I kid you not, I was so clogged up I looked like a whale before that.

Normally, I would go to the bathroom every morning as soon as I wake up. If I ate less or was fasting, I might skip a day. While I was taking CHOYeR, I went to the bathroom 1–2 hours after dinner every day. Everything is cleared out very properly, I could feel how it improved my bowel movements and kicked up my metabolism, however, it does not result in diarrhea or runny stool. On the first day, it was a special case and I got really tired from constantly going to the bathroom. But other than that, I experienced no discomfort.

I take this when I am constipated and my tummy would be cleared by the time I go to bed or as soon as I wake up. On cheat days, I like to take it together with Fairy Appetite to make sure that all that garbage in me would quickly go away.

Conclusion

The one that I continue to take on a daily basis is Funcare's burner F.I.P.100 dietary fiber. It's easy to neglect my vegetable and dietary fiber intake on a high protein and keto diet. This supplement can not only improve my gastrointesinal functions but also regulate my blood lipid levels, which is the most important to me.

For people who are just starting out, like my sister's fiancé who is only in his early thirties but en route to becoming the next Baymax, I would suggest adjusting your diet and enlisting the help of burner superlative herbal formula tablet.

When I plan on having a bunch of carbs on cheat day, I absolutely have to take a CHOYeR fairy appetite 5X tablet before my meal. Depending on the situation, I'd take a CHOYeR devil curve 5X tablet after, or I'd take one of those after dinner when I'm having bowel movement issues.
