Beyond run of the mill

My name is Christina, and this is my Before to Beyond Story…

My name is Christina, and this is my Before to Beyond story: Mine is rather brief, but I had positive results, so here we go! Along with starting to use Zipslim, I changed my diet to include more vegetables and less sugar and fat. When it comes to NOT exercising, I’m a champ, but getting off my bum and walking a bit every day definitely helped.

‘My trio’ worked for me: A healthier diet, moving, and Zipslim.

Having patience with myself was paramount, because I’m not very disciplined and developing that was great.

(The Beyond Slim team is a great cheering section!☺️)

A friend of mine gave me a sample and the blackberry flavor was a pleasant departure from other products that are usually citrus.

*Fifty overweight people (BMI 28-36) using a key ingredient in ZipSlim®, along with a lower calorie diet (1350 calories for women/1850 calories for men), lost 30 pounds in just 13 weeks, compared to just 10 pounds for those following the lower calorie diet alone.

Results may vary from person to person

When used as directed as part of your diet and exercise program.
