Goflex! from Tupperware

Just thought I'd share something other than Lacto Fiber..

I just received my order of Tupperware's Goflex containers 2 days back and boy was I impressed! Goflex is an award winning design changes our ideas of how a storage container looks like or the amount of space it takes up.

My hubby took some pictures of it to better explain its functions:

Goflex comes in 2 pieces per order. This is how it looks nicely stacked up.

Each piece is very compact and can even be stored in our handbags.

Here's my hubby showing how to expand the Goflex container.

Here's the fully expanded Goflex container. It stores up to 950ml, sufficient for takeaway food or storing leftovers for the next day.

NaturCare Organic Lacto Fiber - What can it do for you?

The detailed info below is borrowed from the Tupperware website.


A Balanced Nutrient and Organic Whole Meal Diet

The higher-than-usual nutrient content in Organic Lacto-Fiber contains an abundant supply of nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, unsaturated fatty acids, enzymes and plant proteins from organic sources that help replenish lost nutrients in the body, rejuvenate the system and reduce hunger pangs.

After 10 minutes

• Lacto-Fiber turns into gel form
• Lacto-Fiber consumption effectively reduces hunger pangs

Restores Bodily Functions

Contains anti-oxidants that help combat free radicals.

Before: Red & white blood cells overlap each other, thus decreasing blood cell activity and their effectiveness in transporting oxygen to result in a sluggishness of the body.

After 30 minutes: Red & white blood cells are "more separated", allowing more activity and effectiveness in transporting oxygen to result in an improvement of metabolism and stamina.

Cleanses Toxins

Dietary fibre helps cleanse intestine walls, increase bowel movement and reduce the risk of toxin build-up. It also helps mop-up toxins circulating in the blood stream, binds fats and oils and flushes them out of the system.

Strengthens The Immune System

Organic Lacto-Fiber's unique formulation is enriched with probiotics, prebiotics and enzymes to build and strengthen the immune system and help maintain, restore and protect your body.

Benefits of Probiotics, Prebiotics And Enzymes

Probiotics
Beneficial bacteria (Lactobacillus and Bifido bacterium) that produce a positive effect on the digestive system. They help maintain, replenish and balance nutrients in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract as well as improve digestion and eliminate Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).

Prebiotics
Nutrient sources that stimulate the growth or activity of beneficial bacteria. Prebiotics help break down food for easier absorption and cleanse the blood.

Enzymes
Essential for a healthy digestive system and body metabolism. They build up immunity and promote health.

About Me & Lacto Fiber

Hi there!

Just thought I'd share a little something about myself:

I'm a 35 year-old mummy to a cute 14 month-young baby girl. When I was pregnant with her, my weight ballooned from my original 58.5kg to a post-birth 73kg. With the heavier body, I felt more lethargic and fell sick easily. I wanted to lose some weight and cleanse my body of the toxins. At the same time, I was afraid that the off-the-shelf detox or slimming products would cause harm to my baby girl as I was still breastfeeding.

By some stroke of luck, I came across a product whilst browsing the Tupperware brochure: NaturCare Organic Lacto Fiber. The product is organic, 100% natural, and packed with nutrients which would benefit both myself as well as my baby girl.

I bought a box to try and was pleasantly surprised at how well it tasted. I had fully expected fiber to taste bland, but here was a beverage that tasted really good. I went on to take Lacto Fiber on a daily basis and by the end of the 1st month, I had lost 5kg from my post-birth weight. Not only that, I felt lighter and more alert. My health also improved and I fell sick less often.

Since then, I have lost another 5kg to reach 63kg now. Although the weight loss is much more gradual now, I am convinced that it is the healthier way to lose weight as compared to all those slimming pills and medications out there. The nutrients packed in Lacto Fiber also ensures that I get to absorb all the necessary nutrition.

This blog is setup to share this wonderful product with everyone. I believe that Lacto Fiber can help everyone in the same way it has helped me.
