Losing weight with BNR17 Diet Probiotics BNRThin PRO [Sponsored Review]

2 months back, I was selected to be one of Ksisters Consumer tester for their BNR17 Diet Probiotics BNRThin PRO.

The product that takes Lactobacillus gasseri BNR17®, the first lactobacillus that is recognised for its body fat reducing functionality from the Korean Ministry of Food and Drug as the main ingredient. Its duo functions, reduce body fat + improve intestinal health have been highly raved by the consumers in Korea. 

BNR17 was particularly unique with its probiotic strain originally isolated from human breast milk. After almost 20 years of research and refining the strain, the research labs (Bioneer and AceBiome) managed to create Korea's first very probiotics that not only helps in gut health but also reduces body fat. Its mechanism for reducing visceral fat was confirmed through various animal tests and proven. Unlike other supplements in the market, the BNR17 Diet Probiotics Bnrthin PRO has LIVE and FRESH cultures in its capsules.

MY THOUGHTS

So from late Aug to late Sept, all of the consumer testers had to monitor our weight, body fat & measurements whilst consuming a pill of the BNR17 Diet Probiotics BNRThin Pro daily at a regular timing.

My time was at 12pm because that's during my lunch time and it was a time that would fit in my schedule.

I joined this test because I used to be underweight all my life until age and bliss (plus laziness) caught up on me. I went from 52kg to 69kg within 5 years and from a size 6 to 12, and despite my attempts to exercise, I found it had to reduce my weight lower.

Weight Loss

Over the span of 30 days, I followed a series of workout that total 30mins from Youtube, 3 times a week and continued to eat as per normal along with the consumption of the pills.

Personally, I didn't find the pills useful in aiding much in weight reduction and as you can see from my weigh in, the weight fluctuates. The final weigh-in was significantly more because I changes my workout routine to daily instead. The workouts I did for the last week varied from 5 minutes to 30 minutes on different days.

Toning Up

Day 1

Day 1 Measurements

Waist: 82 cm
Hips : 97.5 cm
Thighs: 56 cm

I attribute my weight gain to genetics as well, because my grandma, mum & female cousins all put on weight after a certain age and fats are stored mainly in our lower half.

It didn't help that I sit at the desk for most part of the day and I have a condition with my ankle that got doctor advising me not to run and walk for long distance.

Day 7 Measurements

Day 7

Waist: 81cm
Hips : 97 cm
Thighs: 55.5 cm

The first week of exercising was tough, everything was a struggle and every part hurts after workout!

Day 14 Measurements

Day 14

Waist: 80 cm
Hips : 96.5 cm
Thighs: 54 cm

It was easier to workout now, there are days when I had to work in the office and took my pills in the morning before I left house because I didn't know how else to bring the pills out without something to keep it cool.

Here's my workout list for the week:

Day 21

Day 21 Measurements

Waist: 80 cm
Hips : 96.5 cm
Thighs: 53.5 cm

To test out whether the pills are truly helping me to shed my fats, I didn't workout this week. And as the results show, my measurements were mostly stagnant.

Day 30 Measurements

Day 30

Waist: 79 cm
Hips : 93 cm
Thighs: 52 cm

It was the final week, I went all out to workout and it translated in my measurements.

Conclusion

As I shared in my instastories, these pills are great for reducing bloatedness and constipation but I'm on the fence about its weight loss effectiveness. Taking in the fact that the recommended dose for weight loss is 3 months, maybe I need more than just a month for my case. A bottle retails at $115 from Ksisters.sg, so it's better to get them during their sale period.

A month after I've ended my dose, my weight is now back to 70kg and my measurements for my waist is at 80 cm & my hips at 96 cm. I've cut down my workouts to twice a week but I still keep them at 30mins per workout session.

Ultimately, I still think working out plays a bigger part in my weight loss journey, but maybe consuming these pills did help to promote the "breakdown" of body fat. If you do give this pill a shot, do reach out to me to share with me your experience!
