'Perfect' ingredient to help weight loss by naturally suppressing your appetite
However, curbing those cravings can be a challenge. Enter Feel Pro Metabolic, new sachets designed to help - and there's currently a 20% off introductory offer with the discount code BOLIC20.
Feel Pro Metabolic costs £39.96 (though this is the subscription price) for 30 sachets, or £51.96 for a one-off purchase with the discount. The concept is simple: add one sachet to a glass of water and drink it before a meal, once a day.
Feel suggests taking the sachets consecutively for at least 12-weeks to see results, with the best outcomes seen after 24 weeks. Packed with prebiotic fibres, probiotics, polyphenols and soy peptides, Feel claims the sachets aim to stimulate the body's GLP-1 secretion - a satiety hormone that essentially tells your body it's full - to assist with portion control and gradually reduce the urge to snack, reports the Mirror.
One study "aimed to analyse the effectiveness of the GLP-1 Formula (product name: Slim8D No.2) in reducing body weight and exploring its potential as a treatment for obesity."
It observed that "the increase in GLP-1 in the body naturally suppresses appetite, thereby achieving weight loss" and found that the GLP-1 Formula product tested "demonstrated promise in reducing body weight and may serve as an effective alternative therapy for treating obesity."
The Pro Metabolic sachets are packed with ingredients such as kombucha black tea extract, which one study suggests means that "black tea polyphenols have excellent anti-obesity activity without apparent side effects" and they're also rich in probiotics.
A review of six studies on probiotics and obesity argued "the studies didn't all reach the same conclusions about how probiotics affect weight. In 67% of the studies, participants who took probiotics had lower body weight and body mass index (BMI). In 80% of the studies, people who took probiotics had a reduction in waist circumference."
Boris Hodakel, the creator of Feel, shared his excitement about their new product: "We are very excited to launch the long-awaited Feel Pro Metabolic - smart appetite control which naturally supports hunger to make you feel full for longer. By curbing cravings naturally, it reduces hunger signals, making it easier to eat intuitively, without harsh and extreme diets or stimulants - working with your body, not against it."
For those who prefer not to subscribe, Boots Pharmaceuticals offers Appetite Control, a pack of 60 capsules priced at £17.50. These capsules contain a unique fibre complex that helps keep you feeling fuller for longer.
Holland and Barrett also offers an alternative in the form of Apple Cider Vinegar 250mg with the Mother Apple Flavour 60 Gummies, which can be found in their online appetite supplement section. Not only do these gummies have a pleasant apple flavour, but they are also packed with beneficial bacteria that support digestive health.
One satisfied customer of Feel shared their experience: "We have been using the Pro Metabolic for a couple of weeks and I've noticed changes already! Not only do I feel like I am a lot less bloated, but I can genuinely feel that my digestion has improved. I have found that my tendency to snack has definitely lessened as well, but more importantly, this doesn't make your stomach feel upset or achy. It's a brilliant product, which I would definitely have again! Absolute game changer especially for those of us that don't want to take something like synthetic GLP-1!".
Another customer expressed their delight with Feel's product: "I was searching for a natural way to manage my appetite and maintain my weight loss, and this product has been perfect. No complicated preparations, just easy-to-use sachets. Within weeks, I've noticed my hunger levels are more controlled and I haven't got that need to snack any longer."

Not every review was glowing, as one customer shared their thoughts saying: "Love the selection of products available and that they are all free from animal cruelty. I wish they'd stay clear of artificial sweeteners - that's my only criticism. They also taste great. Looking forward to the results."
Another user, commenting on Pro Metabolic, said: "I've been using the Pro Metabolic for a little while now, and I'm already noticing the benefits. It tastes great, which is always a bonus. It's really easy to use and I can definitely feel the effects already."

The 7 foods that could protect you from common fat jab side effect, suggest scientists
Find out more about side effects linked to fat jabs below NO WEIGH The 7 foods that could protect you from common fat jab side effect, suggest scientists Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WOMEN and older adults who use increasingly popular weight-loss drug semaglutide could protect themselves from a common side effect by eating more protein, say scientists. It may be an important step in reducing insulin resistance and preventing frailty in people with obesity, they add. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Women and older adults using semaglutide nay be at risk of losing muscle mass, previous studies have found Credit: Getty A previous study presented at ENDO 2025 suggested women and older adults using semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist, for weight loss may be at a higher risk of losing muscle mass. Muscle loss, also referred to as lean mass loss, is a frequent consequence of weight reduction in people with obesity. According to lead researcher Dr Melanie Haines of Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School in a new study, this type of muscle loss can negatively influence metabolism and bone health. That's because muscle helps manage blood sugar levels after eating and contributes to bone strength. According to a study published in Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, up to 40 per cent of the total weight lost while using semaglutide may be lean mass. But Dr Haines noted it's still unclear which patients are most likely to lose muscle and how this muscle loss might impact blood sugar control. To explore this further, researchers observed 40 adults with obesity over a three-month period. Of these participants, 23 were treated with semaglutide, while the remaining 17 took part in a weight-loss programme called Healthy Habits for Life (HHL), which focuses on diet and lifestyle changes. The team then monitored shifts in the participants' muscle mass over the course of the study. They found participants who were prescribed semaglutide lost more weight than those who participated in the diet and lifestyle programme. Weight Loss Jabs - Pros vs Cons But the percent of weight loss that was lean mass was similar between the two groups. After accounting for weight loss, the researchers found in the semaglutide group, being older, female, or eating less protein was linked to greater muscle loss. Losing more muscle was also linked to less improvement in blood sugar levels. 'Older adults and women may be more likely to lose muscle on semaglutide, but eating more protein may help protect against this,' Haines said. 'Losing too much muscle may reduce the benefits of semaglutide on blood sugar control. "This means preserving muscle during weight loss with semaglutide may be important to reduce insulin resistance and prevent frailty in people with obesity.' There are both animal and plant-based sources of protein. Here are seven to include in your diet: Animal sources Lean meats - chicken breast, turkey, beef, and pork are excellent sources of high-quality protein, offering a range of vitamins and minerals. Fish - salmon, tuna, and other fish are rich in protein and omega-3 fatty acids. Eggs - a complete protein source, meaning it contains all nine essential amino acids. Dairy - milk, yogurt (especially Greek yogurt), and cheese (especially cottage cheese) are good sources of protein and calcium. Plant-based sources Legumes - beans, lentils, and peas are excellent sources of protein, fibre, and other nutrients. Nuts and seeds - almonds, walnuts, chia seeds, and pumpkin seeds offer protein, healthy fats, and vitamins. Tofu and soy products - tofu, tempeh, and edamame are good sources of protein, particularly for vegetarians and vegans. In the UK, semaglutide for weight loss is available under the brand name Wegovy, and is prescribed through specialist weight management services within the NHS. It's an injectable medication (once weekly) that is used alongside a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. Ozempic, another semaglutide medication, is specifically for type 2 diabetes and is available on the NHS.

University of Aberdeen study says weight loss jabs may aid asthma
Weight loss injections could help to reduce asthma symptoms in obese people, according to researchers at the University of study by an international team of scientists found as well as the weight loss aspect, the drugs - called GLP-1s - also led to improved control of the respiratory analysed the medical records of more than 60,000 is hoped the injections could be used as a potential treatment in the future, as obese people are often resistant to steroids which are used to help control asthma. GLP-1s mimic a naturally-occurring hormone and help regulate blood sugar, insulin and control David Price from the University of Aberdeen said: "People with obesity and asthma are unique in that they are often resistant to steroid treatments."We know that GLP-1s work on inflammatory responses in the airways in a different way to traditionally used steroids."We found compelling evidence that GLP-1s, as well as increasing weight loss, also improved asthma symptoms."He said their findings suggested the drugs might have beneficial effects on asthma control for people with obesity and that should be "explored further". 'Promising alternative' Dr Erika Kennington, head of research and innovation at Asthma + Lung UK, said research had previously shown than people living with obesity who lost weight saw "improved control" of their said it was "encouraging" the study had shown that was still the case when using weight loss drugs."Although exercise can help people lose weight, for some people it can cause anxiety about becoming breathless or having an asthma attack," she said."So people are stuck in a vicious cycle of not being able to lose weight and their asthma worsening."Therefore, where exercise hasn't worked for someone these drugs that support weight loss could offer a promising alternative."However, she said it was "too early to say" whether the drugs would be effective for people with asthma more widely."More research is needed to understand how these drugs actually improve asthma control," she added."Funding for lung health research is on life support and urgent action is needed to increase investment."

Jabs like Mounjaro 'could help manage asthma for obese people'
Researchers said the drugs should be explored as a potential treatment for obese people with the respiratory condition, who are "often resistant" to steroids Injections used by those trying to lose weight could potentially alleviate asthma symptoms in obese people, a recent study suggests. The research indicates that these drugs, also known as glucagon-like peptide1 receptor-agonists (GLP1-RAs), should be considered as a potential treatment for obese people suffering from the respiratory condition, who are "often resistant" to steroids. These injections - originally developed as a treatment for type 2 diabetes - function by imitating the hormone GLP-1, which helps regulate blood sugar and insulin levels. Several variations of the drug are recommended by the NHS to combat obesity, including semaglutide, also known as Wegovy, and tirzepatide, or Mounjaro. Previous research has suggested that these drugs may significantly reduce the risk of diseases such as dementia and stroke. An international team of experts is currently investigating their potential impact on obese people with asthma, reports Bristol Live. Professor David Price, chair in primary care respiratory medicine at the University of Aberdeen, stated: "People with obesity and asthma are unique in that they are often resistant to steroid treatments. We know that GLP1s work on inflammatory responses in the airways in a different way to traditionally used steroids." In the study, published in Advances in Therapy, researchers analysed the records of 10,111 people on GLP1-RAs, and 50,555 people who were not on the drugs. Following a period of observation, the team discovered that those taking the injections lost more weight and had improved control over their asthma. Researchers have suggested that medical professionals "should pay attention to the relationship between GLP-1 RA and the risk of respiratory diseases". Prof Price stated: "We found compelling evidence that GLP1s, as well as increasing weight loss, also improved asthma symptoms. "In addition, it is important to note that the benefits to asthma symptoms occurred despite fairly modest weight loss of around 0.9kg over the course of the year. Our findings suggest that GLP1s may have beneficial effects on asthma control for people with obesity and this should be explored further." Prof Alan Kaplan, chairperson of the Family Physician Airways Group of Canada and the Observational and Pragmatic Research Institute, commented: "Our findings suggest that GLP1-RAs have benefits on asthma control in people with obesity, and this information should contribute to the discussions around the decision to use these drugs." Dr Erika Kennington, head of research and innovation at Asthma and Lung UK, said: "Research has previously shown that people living with obesity who lose weight see improved control of their asthma, so it's encouraging to see this study show this is still the case when the weight loss is driven by drugs, like the new class of weight loss drugs. "Although exercise can help people lose weight, for some people it can cause anxiety about becoming breathless or having an asthma attack, so people are stuck in a vicious cycle of not being able to lose weight and their asthma worsening. Therefore, where exercise hasn't worked for someone these drugs that support weight loss could offer a promising alternative. "It's too early to say whether these drugs would be effective for people with asthma more widely. More research is needed to understand how these drugs actually improve asthma control. Funding for lung health research is on life support and urgent action is needed to increase investment."
