...gave me a tub of sea kelp tablets (Holland and Barrett) after she mistakenly bought them to help her put on weight (which they don't do!). So I had a tub of the stuff and although wasn't looking for them, they had arrived in to my life. 'What the heck, i'll take 'em', I thought. Well, I can tell you that I noticed the difference almost instantly. For quite a few years now, i've actually been having a lot of dietry problems and suffer from constipation ...
...the mighty Kelp, I found that my 'toilet trips' became regular as clock work (very rare for me, i'm a once in four days kinda person) and I have very noticeably felt my metabolism working full speed. I already feel 10 times lighter (probably because i'm depositing about 3 times a day now!), so i'm sure my weight will continue to drop.
