It’s called Skinny Sprinkles , it is loved by celebrities, it is loved on social networks and it is the new slimming drink that in theory would make you lose a lot of weight because it satiates before main meals: on sale in England and in the United States, not yet in Italy. (but you can order it from the official website ), Skinny Sprinkles is nothing more than a soluble preparation based on glucomannan and inulin in powder , flavors, vitamins and minerals, caffeine and green tea extract, sold as a product for the control of appetite, at a cost of around 40 euros for a 3-week trial. A pre-meal serving has 25 calories, and a caramelized apple flavor.
Those who took it swear they lost ten kilos quickly and effortlessly in less than a month, so much so that manufacturers compare it to “bariatric surgery in a glass” and newspapers such as the Guardian cover this new product, and journalists they write about it in the Daily Mail after trying it.

SKINNY SPRINKLES: COMPOSITION
Skinny Sprinkles uses a mix of insoluble fibers (inulin and glucomannan, in practice konjac) which create a satiating effect before main meals, with substances such as caffeine and green tea to promote thermogenesis, that is to create a sort of effect fat burning. So far, the research behind the product is based on the satiating effects of these fibers (yes, scientifically proven: I talked about it here) and on the action on the metabolism of exciting substances: however, this is certainly not enough to lose weight.
In fact, when purchasing the package, the customer also has a 1200 calorie diet complete with weighted meals and recipes, and a Kayla Itsines-style high-intensity training program to follow every day or three times a week at least. Obviously , the crash diet and exercises are the real trick that makes the shake work.

Of course, it takes away the sense of hunger, but for that it would be enough to buy glucomannan powder online and use it to thicken a few drinks, and that’s it (with the minimum expense).

SKINNY SPRINKLES: SAFETY AND SIDE EFFECTS
Let’s look at the “safety” problem: recently, some studies have highlighted the danger of green tea extract in many weight loss supplements. Risk of liver toxicity , tachycardia and illness. Of course, others speak of green tea extract as a supplement useful for diabetic subjects and useful for weight loss, but it can slow the absorption of some drugs, and you should always consult your doctor before using it alone or in combination with other substances, just like in the case of Skinny Sprinkles, where the tea extract is associated with caffeine.Double effect, but also double risk, especially in sensitive subjects. Among the side effects found in taking this product: abdominal pain and nausea.
Ultimately, Skinny Sprinkles, just like other similar products, proves that the miracle in slimming does not exist: you lose weight because you eat less and exercise. If you want to satiate yourself more in the low-calorie diet, eat more foods rich in fiber and that’s it, without spending a euro.
