The Bon Vivant’s Little Secret

We all know the feeling. Autumn calls for those long, lovely dinners with friends, indulgent creamy pastas, and perhaps one glass of red too many. Living the good life is wonderful, but it often comes with a price—one we notice on the scales (or when those favourite jeans feel just a bit too snug).

That’s why we, at the editorial desk, have been looking into a clever little helper for those exact moments. Formoline L112 (from Sweden’s Octean) has created quite the buzz, and we completely get why. It’s not a magic diet pill, but rather an intelligent tool for those of us seeking balance.

The secret is an active, natural fibre you take with your meal. It acts like a small magnet in your stomach, simply binding to a large portion of the fat from that divine meal you just enjoyed. That fat then passes through the system without being absorbed. Genius!

Obviously, this doesn’t replace healthy everyday choices, but it’s a lifesaver for those weekend splurges. It’s all about being able to indulge without completely losing control. Having a small box in the handbag just feels like a safety net.

(Psst… The clever fibre is derived from shellfish, so this one’s not for you if you have an allergy!)
