I don’t do well with caffeine.
Back in high school, I did great with caffeine. I would be able to have 2 cups of coffee and fall asleep. But not anymore, although it’s getting better. A year ago I couldn’t have any caffeine because my anxiety would skyrocket. In the past couple of months, I’ve been adding more caffeine into my life, slowly, and I am now up to drinking white tea. On some days, I’ll do green tea. But only when I’m tired and I know I’ll need the extra caffeine boost.
There is no way I can even try drinking regular coffee yet though. I think my heart would give out. Not literally, but with my anxiety, it sure would feel that way.
That’s why I felt it was safe to give a try to these raspberry ketones weight loss supplements. I have a history of diet pills, trial and error, and most of the time I was left unsatisfied, jittery, and the weight never seemed to stay off. I vowed to never take any unsafe diet supplements again.
Three months ago I wrote a post about these pills that I was given by Creative Bioscience. I got to pick any supplement from the website and I found that these were the most interesting to me. There was a lot of buzz going around regarding raspberry ketones but most of these raspberry ketone supplements also contained a hefty amount of caffeine. I wasn’t going to go that route again. I know how too much caffeine affects me now and I wasn’t willing to experience those feelings again. I liked that the company offers a caffeine-free alternative to regular raspberry ketones so I thought I could give this natural diet supplement a shot.
What are Raspberry Ketones?
Here’s a blurb about the raspberry ketones from the company’s website:
“Raspberry Ketones have been researched and shown to help you lose weight. As with all weight loss aids and supplements, watching your diet and regular exercise should be part of your routine. So what are raspberry ketones? They’re actually the aroma element of raspberries (red). The Raspberry Ketones regulate what is known as adiponectin, which in simple terms helps with our metabolism or the way we process food in our bodies. The ketones help target your excess fat and make it easier on your body to burn those fat cells, thus losing weight quicker.
In order to get the amount of ketones you will from our supplement, you would need to eat 90 lbs of red raspberries or more! While most are interested in losing the weight to look better, the Raspberry Ketone diet will also improve the health of those who are dangerously overweight. We have 2 kinds of Raspberry Ketones designed to fit into your lifestyle, without needed major changes to your current diet. Some additional benefits revolve around your body delaying the amount of sugar absorbed. If you have a diet high in sugar, the Raspberry Ketone supplement has been seen to have greatest effect in these instances. Tests were also done with those with high fat diets, and found that Raspberry Ketones promotes a reduction in fat around major organs.”
I enjoyed taking these supplements as I felt no adverse effects from the use. I did not record my weight before and after but I did notice a good deal of appetite suppression and faster metabolism. I was more energetic and I actually felt more cheerful and bright on days that I took the supplements. I personally used the raspberry ketones more like an addition to my healthy lifestyle rather than using it as a program to actually lose a certain amount of weight.
I mentioned that I want to break free from chronic dieting and obsessive nature of counting calories and fixating on my weight so I haven’t actually weighed myself in a while. I am going by how I feel, how I look, and how I live. I have found that these weight loss supplements, although were not actually used as a weight loss tool for me personally, worked well in making me feel great and the clothes felt looser as I worked on fixing my relationship with food and just allowed myself to enjoy my life instead of focusing on weight loss directly.
Whether you plan on using raspberry ketones pills as a weight loss tool or simply as a supplement to go along with your healthy lifestyle to just give it a boost like I did, I think you will enjoy these pills not only because they are caffeine-free and with no adverse effects, but also because you now have the opportunity to try them for FREE.

A fun fact about me is that I have the not-so-wonderful ability to attract complete weirdos. Just a few days ago I had a customer ask me if I was half and half. I had no idea what that even meant so I asked and he then said, “Are you half Asian?” When I said no he proceeded to stop talking but continued to stare at me in the most awkward and uncomfortable way.
Hahaha wowww that’s awkward. Some guys are so strange.. I’ve had a fair share of attracting weirdos too, I think it’s because I would always be so nice to everyone they probably always got the wrong idea. I hate when that happens. Thanks for sharing

Sylvia @ Frolic Through Life recently posted…LosingIt!
Oh wow you are tall! How tall is the tallest person in your family?
I don’t know if this is a “fun” fact or not, but since being displaced by Hurricane Sandy, I’ve gained 15 pounds. I’m 5’2″, so that’s a pretty big deal. I started going to the gym again, and I’m trying to eat less takeout now that I’m semi-settled into a temporary apartment, but I can use all the help I can get–and I have the same caffeine issues. This is very intriguing. Thanks for the giveaway!
lauren recently posted…Another Day, Another Biscuit: Desmond’s Putting in Overtime
I’m sorry to hear about your apartment and how Sandy has affected you. I’m happy to hear you’re trying to get back into it, grab life by the balls! You can do it!
Fun fact about me: (well, it’s kind of weird but all the same!) I can pull out my uvula-the hangy thing in the back of your throat. Mine is kind of long!
Wow, after reading all the other comments, I am kind of thinking there is nothing about me that is unusual or fun!
I am afraid of bats… there!
