Review / Maxitone Sculptress

January must be the most depressing month of the year.

I'm always left with few pounds to drop - after weeks of indulging in delicious meals and treats and to add more, my parents always send me loads of food for the holidays - so not only I need to get back to work and to the every day routine but I also need to face dieting. 

Bleugh... definitely a recipe for feeling blue but this year I had a powerful ally - Maxitone Sculptress*

I have already used Maxitone Definity before - you can read my review here - which is targeted to increase muscle tone.

Maxitone Sculptress is still high in protein to support lean muscles build but it also helps in achieving your ideal weight loss goal. It also contains 21 vitamins and minerals, green extract and L-carnitine.

The line include shakes, tablets and bars but I definitely prefer the practicality of a shake that I can take with me to work or at the gym... plus I get my daily chocolate fix without the guilty feeling.

At only 209 calories per serving, you can have 2 shakes per day and I usually substitute a snack and dinner; the dinner works very well for me, because I often work 'til late and that way I don't need to go to bed on a heavy stomach; Most importantly I never feel hungry either.

As always, this is not a miracle product but an effective helping hand - you still need to eath healthy and exercise (which I do anyway) but I believe the best motivation is when you see results.

Personally, I have lost 5 kgs in 3 weeks which I'm very pleased with since I would, normally, loose 1 kg per week and Maxitone has given me the extra boost.

 I'm also more toned - and everybody knows that muscle weights more than fat - so I think it's not bad at all, considering I can only go to the gym 3 times per week, because of work commitments.

You can now get Maxitone in Boots too - great way to use your points if you want to try it out!

Review / Maxitone

I've becoming a bit of a fitness freak, lately.

I've always eaten pretty healthy, generally but - let's face it -I'm also pretty lazy when it comes to exercise... or I was!

I started going to classes about 18 months ago and I'm totally addicted now.

I suppose the reason is because I enjoy them so much and I feel good mentally and fisically, afterwards.

You can tell I'm getting obsessed, looking at my recent gym clothes purchases, too. :)

I'm at a stage now that I just need to loose few pounds and it's mainly down to tone up, really.

I've been feeling, I need an extra push on that front and I was thrilled to receive the Maxitone Definity* to try out.

 I have used protein shakes before but only occasionally - 'stealing' an helping here and there from my husband supply; personally, I feel much more confident using Maxitone because is a range specifically formulated for women. 

Definity, for instance, is a high protein shade which will help getting a firmer, more toned and better shaped body... which is exactly my goal.

I have never been a great protein eater; since I was a child, I have never liked the taste of meat so I eat cheese and fish but I always felt I had a protein-intake deficiency.

I was never bothered too much about that but now, going to the gym regularly, I can see that all the hard work doesn't pay off optimally.

These shakes are exactly that: enhance your body toning potential, helping muscles recover and repair after exercise.

They recommend to take 2 servings per day - breakfast and after exercise - but I started off with 1 after the gym and then will increase gradually and tweak my diet as I go; one shake contains 117 calories which is perfectly manageable and easy to integrate in my diet: I'm simply swapping my afternoon snack yogurt with it.

I got the Chocolate because I'm not a fan of fruity flavours but it also comes in strawberry; chocolate tastes very nice (much better than my husband version) and it has been the perfect after-gym fix and keeps me going until dinnertime.

I have only been taking it for a week now but I do believe these products help and make a difference so I'm happy to incorporate the shakes in my daily routine.

There's also a line called Sculptress which is more targeted for weight loss; I wanna try that too but I'm mostly concentrating on building muscles, at the moment, so I have already stocked up on more Definity.

 For more info, you can check the website www.maxitone.com - there are also bars and tablets available.

If you're interested in trying these products, I highly recommend to keep an eye on the Facebook page because they run offers regularly. I bought my supply with 40% off discount code and you also get a shaker for free, with your first purchase.
