What You Should Know
Skinny Fiber, sold by Skinny Body Care, is a fiber supplement that expands in the stomach to reduce hunger. According to the supplement description, the fiber expands 50 times its normal size. In addition to reducing hunger, the supplement will boost metabolism and suppress the formation of fat. This sounds like a super supplement, but chances are the ingredient list will not support these extraordinary claims.
List of Ingredients
Glucomannan, Caralluma Fimbriata and Cha de Bugre.
Product Features
Skinny Fiber is not a supplement with special ingredients known only to the manufacturer. The three ingredients in the supplement are commonly used in other weight loss supplements. Glucomannan is a water-soluble fiber. It does absorb water and expand, but there needs to be enough water in the stomach for the fiber to absorb for it to expand 50 times. There is a button for dieters to learn more about how to take the supplement, but the button only leads to a “Coming Soon!” page.
Caralluma Fimbriata is a cactus extract that reduces appetite. Sounds a lot like the Hoodia cactus, right? The supplement company claims Caralluma Fimbriata will stop hunger and block the formation of fat, but they don’t bother to back up these claims with clinical research. There are clinical studies supporting the antiobesogenic effects of the ingredient, but only on the rat population. Human studies are not available.
The final ingredient is Cha de Bugre. Cha de Bugre is a Brazilian plant that contains caffeine. The caffeine levels are lower than other stimulant herbs, but the stimulating effects may be stronger than standard caffeine. The ingredient also contains acids known to improve healing.
The official website for Skinny Fiber leaves much to be desired. There is very little proven information on any of the ingredients and some of the pages are under construction. There are no testimonials for the supplement and before and after pictures of dieters losing weight on the supplement are nonexistent.
Skinny Fiber is sold through the official website, but the order page does not list a price. The consumer is told to enter shipping information, but no credit card information. The terms and conditions of the website list the price as $59.95. There is a 100% money back guarantee for 30 days following the purchase.
Advantages
- Contains fiber, which may reduce hunger.
- All ingredients are revealed on the official website.
- Priced comparably to other fat burners.
Disadvantages
- No proven weight loss ingredients.
- No pricing information on the order page.
Conclusion
Skinny Fiber makes huge claims but offers no clinical research to support the ingredients. There are no ingredient amounts and many of the website pages are under construction. Dieters may want to choose a different supplement.

Skinny Fiber reminds me too much of a pyramid scheme for me to try that one. It seems the people who don’t sell the product never lose as much as the ones that do. That is kind of worrisome. If you drink the amount of water required in that plan you would probably lose weight without the product. I am going to try the Avesil.

Has anyone tried this and does it really work? Are the adds I see on the Lauder f.b. page because one of her followers are selling the product?

I think it is an amazing product. Also do the research for the product this site wants you to buy and you will see it has worse comments and legal actions against it. The claims this page makes about Avesil are all fact.. Do your research on anything you decide to buy and make sure it is looking at more than one page.

You said in the review that on the web site there are no before and after pictures but there is a facebook page just for this that some lady had made. Its a closed group so you have to send a request but there are before and after pictures and all sorts of testimonials. “Jax skinny friends–weight loss support group” is the name of the page.
