Satietrol

From Fried, boiled, baked, mashed or hashed... anyway you slice it most people think potatoes, like most carbs, will prevent you from peeling off the pounds! Not anymore, this spud stud is back as the main ingredient in a new diet supplement. Dr. Robert Portman, a researcher for the makers of Satietrol, says it’s a convenient, effective way to lose weight.
 
Dr. Portman explains, "You take satietrol about 10 to 15 minutes before you eat. It gives you a feeling of fullness so you eat less.

Satietrol is a powder that's mixed with water into a shake. In addition to potatoes, it’s made from milk protein, alfalfa sprouts and other ingredients. Skeptical? After just one shake, Bill Howe noticed a difference. A true believer, Bill Howe states, "I was getting disgusted with nothing fitting anymore and that's when I finally made up my mind that I wanted to do something about it and permanently take it off. I didn't feel like eating the same amount that I did so the quantity of food that was being taken in was cut almost in half."
 
In months, Bill lost 45 pounds and several inches off his waist and he never deprives himself. He even eats a chocolate bar every day.
 
So how does it work? The company claims Satietrol triggers the release of CCK, a protein that signals the brain to stop eating. Nutritionist Dr. Michael Hirt says satietrol is safe but probably not all that effective
 
 
Dr. Hirt explains, "What satietrol is really doing is making people feel fuller by having a bunch of fiber like Metamucil rather than changing people's CCK. Any weight loss aid is just that.  It helps you lose weight, and unless you change your behaviors you're not going to keep it off.”
   
But Bill Howe says he is living proof that this packet full of potatoes packs a powerful punch. Bill says, “For me its nothing short I guess of a miracle that I can continue with the same lifestyle I have. I'm not exercising but yet I'm still losing the weight.”
 
So now it's up to you to decide whether this spuds for you!  Satietrol has about 80 calories per serving and it will cost you about forty dollars for a one-month supply.
