I am a married mother of two and juggle working as a system analyst and running a busy household. My weight has always yo-yo'd and it wasn't until last summer that I decided I'd had enough of being unhappy with my weight. I was on holiday in Turkey with my family and whilst we were there my niece took a photo of me in my bikini which I really disliked. It really upset me that I had put on so much weight. I was getting married in Jamaica in October and seeing myself in that photo gave me the right kind of motivation.
As soon as I arrived back in the UK I started eating healthily and exercising regularly. I have always been a keen runner and I soon rediscovered this passion.
I have to admit I have a bit of a sweet tooth and having two boys in the house means it's easy to find biscuits and chocolate if I want them. So a friend suggested I try BioBIND, a new product made from cactus extract that can help reduce the amount of dietary fat my body absorbs.
This really helped manage my diet more effectively and I didn't have to feel guilty if I ever slipped up. It was amazing how it helped and I started losing weight.
My main motivation during this time was that I bought a beautiful new dress for myself (the one I'm wearing in the photo) in the size I wanted to be. Every week I would try it on and it was great how I could see the results week by week.
I got married in October at my goal weight, it was a beautiful day and one I will never forget. Thanks to BioBIND whenever I look at the photographs from the day and my honeymoon, I feel really happy with my new figure.

How does Biobind work?
Nopal cactus has been used for millennia to suppress appetite for food and water and to increase energy by the San people, native to the Kalahari Desert. They cut the spines off the plant and eat the inner portion and drink the white latex.
Nopal has been shown to bind up to 27.4% of fat from food. This creates a fat-fibre complex too large to be absorbed by the small intestine and is passed out of the body naturally.
In addition, BioBIND also helps to reduce food cravings. The soluble fibres in BioBIND engorge in water and trap food, thus slowing down digestion and reducing blood sugar spiking. So as a result, the desire to eat is dramatically reduced and replaced by a feeling of fullness.
Therefore, BioBIND works in three ways:
1. Reduces amount of fat absorbed from your diet
2. Helps to suppress appetite
3. Helps decrease food cravings
What other things can I do to lose weight?
To lose weight you need to cut down the amount of calories you consume and move more. Try incorporating more exercise into your daily life like getting off the bus a stop earlier and walking the rest of the way, taking the stairs, strolling across the office to speak to colleagues rather than emailing. A pedometer is a great way of adding up the number of steps you make in a day and can really help with motivation. Experts say we should be walking about 10,000 steps a day to improve heart health and reduce body fat, so get moving!

Why take Biobind?
Collectively, all the ingredients within BioBIND work synergistically together to:
- • Support effective weight loss
- • Reduce fat absorption
- • Help suppress appetite
- • Decrease food cravings
And this is how...
Nopal Cactus contains both soluble and insoluble dietary fibres. The insoluble dietary fibre in Nopal absorbs water & toxins and slowly and gently accelerates food through the digestive track, thus contributing to regular bowel movements.
These high levels of soluble and insoluble fibres contained within Nopal Cactus helps prevent the rapid absorption of simple carbohydrates such as sugars into the blood stream during the digestion stage of a meal. Ingesting Nopal prior to, or during a meal, results in lowering the Glycaemic Index of any meal and allows for a more stable blood sugar metabolism throughout the day. It keeps hunger at bay!
The fibre content in Nopal, is sufficient to effectively promote satiety when taken before a meal, and thus reduces hunger and calorie consumption.
Psyllium Husk contains a fibre that reduces appetite, improves digestion and cleanses the system, making it an excellent choice for dieting the healthy way. Psyllium can provide the fibre that is missing in low carbohydrate diets.
Chitosan has been shown to reduce fats, help lower bad cholesterol, raise good cholesterol, and naturally control the appetite. It is a fibre that comes from shellfish and a fat blocker. When taken, chitosan absorbs fat molecules in the body therefore it reduces the fat intake by up to 30%, while supplying 20 to 30 grams of dietary fibre to your body. This dietary fibre intake helps suppress the appetite and any food cravings by giving you the feeling of being full.
