SLIM AND TRIM 

We all know that feeling of constantly shelving your diet plans because food is too irresistible. Japanese brand Borsch Med Bind&Block Fat is a supplement that’s formulated with ingredients to keep the fat away. It contains chitosan, a sugar that binds to fat from your food and prevents it from being absorbed by your body. It also contains psyllium seeds that absorb water and expand to keep you full for a longer time, so you won’t be reaching for that midday snack. The Build&Block Fat comes in a yummy mango- peach flavour so you won’t have problems downing it. Have one sachet 30 minutes before a meal for best results. Available online at www.borschmed.com, leading pharmacies and selected departmental stores at $39 (U.P. $49) for 30 sachets.
