Okay, we've had a lot of you ask...so now you'll receive. :-) A lot of you have
asked us to make it so you can get just the Fixx (as opposed to fixx and form or
fixx and fibe) without having to buy a whole case. We have bought a case and
broken it up into boxes (each box has 12 pouches of fixx). They are on the site
http://www.TracesEtc.com under O3 World or under special orders. They're $41.00
a box (as opposed to $325.00 for the case). If you've been wanting to try it or
want more, this is your chance!

I LOVE the Fixx. I mix one up on Sunday (my super-munchie day). I mix it with
twice the milk it says to. I drink about half before I go to church (instead of
eating breakfast). Then when I get home from church I drink about another half
because I generally cook a nice dinner so it's going to be another few hours
until I get to eat. Then I eat my dinner. Later, when I get the munchies and
used to make brownies or some other yummy, I drink what's left. Then I eat
something light for supper, like half a tuna sandwich or something. Voila, I
have made it through Sunday eating less and am happy!

My dad drinks two Fixxes a week. He takes them in his lunch to work and drinks
them instead of Thunder. The other three days he drinks a Thunder. He was
going to drink a Fixx each day but that's a little pricey, so this way he gets
the weight loss benefits. He's also taking Form before each supper. He's quite
pleased with the results he's seeing already!

The following are a two guidelines for optimal results, with accompanying
explanations. I know it always helps me make better decisions about how to use
a product when I actually understand the reasons behind the usage
recommendation. So, without any further Adieu:

1: Form should be taken on a relatively empty stomach. Do not eat or drink
anything for at least 45-60 minutes before taking Form.

Explanation : Form is a in a class of compounds known as Super Absorbent
Polymers, or SAPs. The vast majority of these compounds can only absorb
extremely pure water. While Form is designed to be more tolerable of impurities
in the water, it still helps to have the purest water environment possible for
optimum expansion. Also, if there are more liquids present than the Form can
absorb, it will remain in a fluid, or semi-fluid state, thus detracting from its
hunger-reducing properties. If one were to have food in the stomach, it would
contain material that would dissolve into the water, and detract from the
Form’s expansion performance. Also, if one had excess liquids in the stomach,
it would create an environment where the Form would not be able to absorb enough
to congeal, and bring about the intended effect.

2: Form should be taken with the purest possible water, preferably warm.

Explanation: Once again, Form is happiest in a pure water environment. The
reason for this is because each Form microbead is like a tiny, tiny sponge, with
a bunch of microscopic holes in it. We’re going to paint a mental picture for
everyone to help them understand this principle.

Let’s think about these tiny holes as doorways that are three feet high, and
two feet wide. Now let’s think about each water molecule as a five year old
girl who wants to hold hands with everyone she can. Water, like five year olds,
can behave in very interesting ways. Our water molecule has the ability to
“hold hands” with a very large number of other substances. This is what
happens whenever anything is dissolved in the water. Sugars, Salts, acids,
bases, minerals; All these substances all have the ability to bond with water
molecules, and move about the solution in tandem on the molecular level. Ok,
back to the “tiny door” analogy. The water molecule, the five year old,
holds hands with whomever she can. When water comes in contact with Form
microbeads, and its tiny doorways, water wants to walk through them. However,
if she’s “holding hands” with someone, she must try to bring them through
the door as well. Now, if a water
molecule is a five year old, every other molecule that can hold her hands are
huge, fully grown adults. Picture our tiny little water molecule, holding hands
with her 250 pound father, walking through a 3 foot by 2 foot doorway. It’s
just not going to work very well.

This is the situation if there are sugars or salts dissolved in the water. Form
will only expand 65-80% if the water it is absorbing has too much dissolved in
it. Hence, Colas, Coffee, Juices, and pretty much anything except pure water is
not optimal for use with Form. It also expands much more rapidly in water that
is close to body temperature.

Something to remember is that bottled water is not necessarily pure water. Some
bottles waters add minerals and electrolytes that will slow the absorbing
process. It should still work with basically all bottled waters, but if there
are “flavor enhancing minerals” in the water it will just take a little
longer for it to do its job.
