When I was contacted about reviewing MealEnders, I was a bit hesitant because the name alone made me think great, another weight loss scheme. After reading more about the product I felt better about what they were trying to achieve. MealEnders are low calorie, drug and stimulant-free Signaling Lozenges, designed to help people learn to avoid overeating and master portion control by clearing the desire to consume more than needed from the mouth and mind. Each MealEnders lozenge contains only two grams of sugar, 15 calories, and is low-fat, stimulant-free, gluten-free, kosher, and contains no high fructose corn syrup or MSG. MealEnders are food-based and, therefore, regulated by the FDA as a food product. Sound pretty good so far?
I personally don’t have a problem with portion control but what I do have a problem with is keeping my blood sugar up. When I go too long without eating I start to feel sick and it all goes down hill from there. This is where MealEnders are perfect for me!
MealEnders consist of two components: a sweet, outer layer that is textured like a tootsie roll and a cooling/tingling inner core. The outer layer provides a measured dose of “dessert,” usually associated with the end of a meal. The inner core engages the trigeminal nerve (the nerve that senses “taste” sensations in the mouth) with long-lasting cooling/tingling sensations to cue the end of eating and clear the palate.
As you can see, though MealEnders aren’t loaded with sugar, they are designed to make my body feel as though its receiving what it needs. By keeping my mouth and mind occupied for as long as 20 minutes, I have plenty of time to prepare a healthy meal for myself without getting sick.
For those of you who don’t have a blood sugar problem then this is where MealEnders can help with overeating. After you have finished a meal, instead of stuffing yourself with dessert, pop one of these in your mouth and suck, don’t chew. MealEnders naturally transition you away from the desire to overindulge, giving your body’s natural satiety process time to catch up and let you know your full. MealEnders aren’t a magic pill and it won’t shed those extra pounds off of you, but it could help to keep from putting them on if you are someone that wants something sweet after a meal.
MealEnders Signaling Lozenges come in 25-piece pouches and are available in four different flavors: Chocolate Mint, Cinnamon, Mocha, and Citrus(my personal favorite!). The price per lozenge varies depending on number of pouches purchased and purchase plan selected ($14.95 for one pouch to $80.96 for nine pouches), from approximately 36 to 60 cents.
