The words fat burner can ring alarm bells with those in the fitness industry. Often regarded as some sort of gimmick, with the perspective that it doesn't work. Scrap that, because what I'm about to explain is game changer and that is in the form of LeanBean.
Let's get things straight from the start, I took on trying LeanBean not to lose weight but to aid me in my fitness training. As you may or may not be aware I am a very active girl, I am pretty much doing something active on a daily basis. I had a huge set back last August, (when I was at my fittest) due to an injury I sustained when I fell down some steps. I badly sprained my ankle and did significant nerve damage in my leg, meaning I was essentially out of exercise for a good 8 months. 8 months! I know - ridiculous right?! So I was really back to the drawing board, and as to be expected, carrying more weight than I needed. Something had to change.
Lean Bean - what is it? A food supplement titled as the, 'female fat burner' that contains all natural ingredients. The idea is that it aids natural weight loss by suppressing appetite, speeding up metabolism and balancing estrogen. Would this help me with training? Could this give me that booster to train more? I was so intrigued I actually took the challenge of testing it out for 30 days.
What does it contain?
Glucomannan - Super fibre!
Green Tea Extract - To help speed up metabolism
Turmeric - Reduces metabolic inflammation
How do you take this tablet? One before breakfast, one before lunch, one in the afternoon and one before evening meal.
Their moto is Achieve Your Lean Dream, and as far as I can see from all their social posts, it seems to be aimed at those who do lots of training. A positive start! Rather than being aimed at people who simply want to shift weight but don't exercise and want a 'quick' fix, this wasn't about that. I began on my 30 day journey and I'd say it has taken me a good 2 -3 weeks to feel my body adapt. You might wonder why? My body has always been an odd one, I can only compare it to that of a grumpy old person who is stuck in their ways and reluctant to any change! Therefore with regards to fitness, weight loss or toning up, I have to really work for it in order to see results. The same applied to my trial with LeanBean. For me and my body, I discovered 30 days isn't sufficient for it to achieve the ultimate lean goal, and I needed more to perhaps see significant changes. Don't get me wrong, I feel so much better, but I am excited to complete their recommended 90 days as to me this is the starting point.What have I seen since using this? I will say I'm eating a lot less, which is through a combination of me being strict with myself and I'm assuming these magical tablets. My appetite has been reduced as I would crave more food and I just don't now, so I am only eating good things because of it. What I want to stress is I have had to wait about 2-3 weeks for that to really kick in. I have lost weight but I have upped my exercise and cut back on naughty treats. This has been fantastic as I feel so much more energetic and somewhat lighter, so I can train far more efficiently now. Who knows where I'll be at 90 days? Perhaps back to my goal fitness weight and training like a machine! Whatever way I look it, LeanBean is helping me to get back on track, to the point I can double up on daily training sessions. I would say that is winning at fitness!
