Better But With Side Effects

Only been one week since I found a probiotic formula at Whole Foods specifically for weight loss in the fridge section, but it appears to be working well; 1- 2 lb loss. I was specifically looking for a probiotic combination to test for weight loss, and Solaray was the only one I could find in an extensive section of probiotics at WF. Note: Side effects (bit of stomach pain that passes quickly) if you take it in the middle of the day vs. in the morning on an empty stomach. Def one should drink a lot of water with this product!

If anyone else has had luck using probiotics for weight loss, please write in and let us know which one!

Here are the strains in mine in case anyone is interested:

How are you recording a 1 - 2 lb weight loss as "weight loss" when one's weight may go up and down by at least that much in the course of a single day without doing anything? There is no way I could record a 2 lb weight loss. I'd have to record a 2 INCH loss - with a tape measure - and even that probably wouldn't be reflected as any loss on a scale, depending on how I lost those inches.

Two weeks in on the new probiotic strain. Weight loss is slow per the scale BUT definitely a reduction in waist size, sugar cravings, and food cravings. Pants are looser. I have my final meal around 6pm and am not hungry typically until the next morning, which was an issue before as I always wanted to snack in the evening. This probiotic formula is fabulous at curbing sugar cravings. Just don't have them! Will keep updating.

Good for you! What a nice benefit. My husband and kids would probably do well with this product since they could cut their sugar cravings and snacking in half and still have plenty to spare! I'm going to put the whole family on this product. Thank you for sharing your experience with us <3

I'm thinking they changed it or something. I looked it up on Amazon (not available in the US store) and on their website. On their website it LOOKS to be the same properties, but different mg.

The separation of Weight Formula and Probiotic Blend is gone, and now there is just the Weight Formula section. But, it's the same ingredients. IDK and then instead of 500mg it says 600mg.
