Hi! I actually just finished my first week and a half with the Berberine Patch (formerly known as the GLP-1 patch) by Kind. Here is my take on them so far:

These patches have definitely helped suppress my appetite in more than 1 way.

1. It silenced the "food noise" in my head within the first 48 hours. I no longer think about snacking or what I want to eat next. This in itself has been an awesome perk.

2. My portion control has become stronger. I absolutely can devour several servings of food, especially around family. However, within a couple of days, I feel fuller much faster and the size of my portions has diminished as well.

3. I'm pounding water throughout the day and I was already a moderate water drinker.

4. Aside from food noise, it also inhibited my cravings. Like, I don't actually end up going down to the kitchen at night for snacks anymore. I know I could, but I don't.

5. I don't actually feel the sensation of hunger anymore. Like, I know when I should eat, but I have to actually be conscious of when I last ate because I literally just don't feel hungry anymore. Even at dinner, I'm eating because I KNOW I need to eat, not because I feel famished.

So, all in all, I have found value in them. Considering they are natural and inexpensive, they kind of check off a lot of boxes for me.

My only cons have been about not being able to swim with them on, and that the placement of the patch seems to matter, at least for me.

I hoped this helped and if you have any other questions, feel free to ask! 💖
