When I Saw “Get Off the Sugar Rollercoaster,” I Was Immediately Hooked.
That’s the catch phrase of Lemme’s latest vitamin supplement, Lemme Curb. And for those who understand the Medusa-like power of the pastry display… that phrase probably caught your attention, too.
I’ve been a fan of Lemme for a while after trying some of their gummy vitamins and having great experiences with them. The gummies taste like candy (without the toxic and artificial additives), but more importantly, they actually work. So when I saw Lemme was dropping a brand new product—their first in capsule form—I knew I had to try it out.
In a nutshell, Lemme Curb is made with clinically-studied ingredients that can apparently help reduce cravings, support healthy blood sugar levels, and even aid in weight management. Plus, it’s drug-free and doesn’t require an expensive prescription like some of the other options out there. For the perpetual snacker in me, that sounded like the nectar of the gods. For the realist in me, that sounded too good to be true…
But I knew Lemme offers a 30-day money-back guarantee, so I went into it with a positive attitude, some big expectations, and a healthy dose of skepticism. (Pro tip: you get 15% off when you sign up for monthly subscriptions, so it’s only $34 for 30 servings.)
First and Foremost, What Do These Things Even Do?
If you’re like me and you’re dependent on office snacks, an afternoon pastry, and a gallon of coffee to get through a work day, your blood sugar probably has something to do with it. Or so I’ve learned…
Studies show that unhealthy blood sugar levels can negatively impact many aspects of your health, including fatigue, disrupted sleep, unwanted cravings, stress, brain fog, and even accelerated aging. (Not these studies calling me out by name…)
Research also shows that unsteady blood sugar levels are what cause cravings. Basically, if you have an excess of glucose in the bloodstream, your blood sugar levels rise and then drop—quickly. This causes the craving center in our brain to activate, and we quickly seek out junk food or sugar to spike our blood sugar level up again.
Up and down, up and down—it’s easy to get trapped on the “sugar rollercoaster.” But the key to getting off it? Balancing your blood sugar with Lemme Curb.
That Sounds Great, But How Do They Do It?
It seems pretty intuitive that a supplement designed to balance your blood sugar levels wouldn’t include artificial sweeteners, sugar alcohols, or high-fructose corn syrup. But Lemme Curb is also vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO, and doesn’t contain any artificial colors or flavors. In classic Lemme fashion, it’s the gold standard for pure and clean.
As with all of Lemme’s products, Lemme Curb is formulated by experts using super high quality ingredients, and clinically-studied doses of each. In Lemme Curb, there are 2 main stars of the show:
- Chromium: Meet the pièce de résistance of Lemme Curb—Chromax®. Chromium is an essential trace mineral for healthy glucose metabolism, and Chromax® is a patented form of it that’s up to 15 times more bioavailable than other forms and has been studied in over 35 clinical trials. Studies show that it can jumpstart healthy carbohydrate metabolism, balance blood sugar levels, and even promote a positive mood.
- Wild Bitter Melon: Considered to be the most widely used traditional medicine for supporting blood sugar balance, bitter melon is packed with nutrients and antioxidants. It has been used for centuries in India and other Asian countries for glucose support and healthy weight management.
Rounding out Lemme Curb’s clean ingredient list is Potassium (an essential mineral), Organic Ceylon Cinnamon (which has been used for thousands of years to support healthy blood sugar levels), and a Greens Superfood Blend packed full of antioxidants (which can help combat the effects of oxidative stress).
My First Thoughts Right Out of the Gate
When I got my bottle of Lemme Curb, I was hoping it would help me with a few things. Primarily, I wanted to reduce my cravings and decrease my snacking (especially on “indulgent treats” and late night snacks), but I also wanted to have more energy throughout the day, and maybe even slim down a bit too.
My capsules arrived in just a few days in that beautiful Lemme packaging that I’ve come to know and love. They suggest taking 2 capsules daily, preferably with food, so I started taking them in the morning with breakfast.
For the first few days, I couldn’t tell if I was just trying really hard to avoid my constant office snacks and late night ice cream, or if I genuinely wasn’t craving them. The website says it takes a couple weeks to build up to full benefits, so I guess it was the placebo effect at first. (Hey, whatever works…)
But Jump Ahead to One Month In
And I started to realize I actually didn’t feel the overwhelming urge to post up in the office kitchen or reach for the ice cream in the middle of the night. I basically went from having a snack every 2 hours to maybe once a day, and I didn’t feel like I was restricting myself.
I started to feel less anxious and unstable throughout the day, started waking up feeling less sluggish, and felt like I had way more balanced, sustained energy. And (here’s the kicker), I was even seeing physical changes in my body. Over the course of the month, I actually dropped 3-4 pounds because I was consuming a lot less empty calories throughout the day. Obviously nothing crazy, but it was noticeable to me.
And, to be clear, this is not a magic weight loss pill. (Nor, thank goodness, is it Ozempic). The Chromax® in Lemme Curb can utilize insulin more efficiently so it supports weight loss while maintaining lean muscle… but that makes it more of a helpful boost to already regular exercise and a healthy diet. And as far as I’m concerned, a boost never hurts.
Curb Your Cravings, Not Your Enthusiasm
Because Lemme dropped a real game-changer. The bottom line is that Lemme Curb has already helped me feel more balanced, more energized, and less chained to those unnecessary cravings. Plus, along the way, I’m building better habits and keeping my overall health and wellness consistent and on point.
Lemme has a ton of other supplements like Lemme Debloat, Lemme Matcha, and Lemme Chill that I can vouch for and that you should definitely try out. (Apparently, Lemme doesn’t miss.) But if you’re somebody who’s all too familiar with the blood sugar rollercoaster, or you’re just looking for a way to reduce your cravings, I absolutely recommend giving Lemme Curb a try.
When your blood sugar is at its best, you are too. Try Lemme Curb out and see what it’s like to be the most balanced, healthy, and free version of yourself.
