I’m really excited to test out and review Skinny Body Max which is the latest weight loss supplement from SBC. As most of you know, I have had a lot of success with the original product called Skinny Fiber but this new product looks like it has even more to offer. It combines some of the most popular and well-known all-natural ingredients that are clinically proven to help individuals lose weight. I decided to do a breakdown analysis of each ingredient listed in this new product so that not only all of my readers can better understand the product but so that I myself can see if it is worth making the switch from Skinny Fiber.

Skinny Body MAX In-Depth Ingredient Analysis:
There are 7 essential ingredients that make up Skinny Body Max and all of these ingredients are all-natural. One thing I have noticed is that this product combines some of the most commonly spoken about weight loss ingredients of he year including raspberry ketones and garcinia cambogia. But it also uses two of the most essential ingredients in skinny fiber as part of the unique ingredient blend. Without further adieu, here is what I have discovered and the research I have found:
- Glucomannan: Glucomannan comes from the konjac plant root and can be taken in the form of a powder or capsule. It acts as a “thickener” and is thought to have an expanding ability. By absorbing water, it expands in the stomach much like a sponge would. This is thought to help with the process of weight loss as it encourages the user to eat less after feeling more full.
In a study conducted over 8 weeks on obese patients, these subjects were instructed to take Glucomannan in the form of two capsules an hour prior to each meal with a glass of water. The participants were told not to change their dietary or exercise habits. The results showed a weigh loss of 5.5 lb average over the course of 8 weeks which is quite significant. No negative adverse effects were detected.

- Caralluma: Caralluma comes from a cactus plant found in India in addition to other regions in Africa. The plant was originally used by various tribes that would chew on Caralluma to help prevent them from getting hungry when they were out on a long hunt. Nowadays, Caralluma is used as an appetite suppressant. It is thought that various chemicals that are found in the plant may help to decrease cravings and the appetite.
A pilot study was conducted on how extract from Caralluma might affect the metabolism and weight of overweight/obese individuals. In this study, 33 adults between the ages of 29 and 59 were split into two groups. One of the groups were instructed to take two capsules of Caralluma twice a day. The results indicated that the participants who had taken Caralluma had reduced their waistline in just 9 weeks with a reduction of 5.7 cm in the waist which was nearly 3 cm more than the secondary group.
The subjects who consumed caralluma also showed less signs of being interested in the test meal which indicates that Caralluma can help decrease the appetite and curb cravings. The study concluded that Caralluma can be helpful with weight management and works best when combined with a controlled dietary intake and moderate exercise.

- Orafti Fiber: (Oligofructose-Enriched Inulin) is another one of the key ingredients found in Skinny Body Max and is thought to contribute to a healthy gut. I found it difficult to find a lot of concise and easy-to-understand research on this ingredient and how it can contribute to weight loss, however.
- Cayenne Extract: This is likely the most well-known ingredient as it is commonly used as a spice in many of your home-cooked dinners! But Cayenne peppers are also thought to help to decrease symptoms of gas and a bloated stomach which can contribute to the stomach appearing larger than it actually is. Cayenne is also thought to help boost the metabolism and contribute to fat-burning.
One study found that consuming a capsule with 1/2 a teaspoon of cayenne could help users of average weight burn roughly 10 more calories over four hours. The study also suggested that the pepper also can lead to a decrease in appetite.

- Raspberry Ketones: This is one product I have heard a lot about this year for helping manage weight and am excited to find it as part of the Skinny Body Max blend. Raspberry ketones (or RK) are the natural chemicals that are responsible for giving red raspberries their aroma. One study showed that participants who took both RK and Vitamin C over 4 weeks reduced their body fat and lost weight. However, the study was not conclusive on whether the vitamin C, the RK or a mixture of both was responsible for the weight loss results.
Another study tested the anti-obesity effects of Raspberry Ketones and found that over the period of 6-10 weeks, two groups of mice were put on a high fat diet. The group of mice that was also given RK put on less fat/weight than the former group and the study suggested that RK might help prevent obesity. It is important to note that the study has not been conducted on humans and the results may not be accurate in this sense.

- Garcinia Cambogia: I was most excited to investigate this ingredient which is very popular in the weight loss industry this year. Garcinia cambogia is a tropical fruit that is thought to block the body from being able to make new fat. It is also thought to help curb the appetite so you are less likely to eat as much food throughout the day. It is supposed to work because the rind of the garcinia fruit is composed of HCA (hydroxycitric acid) which is supposed to block an enzyme known as “citrate lyase” which the body uses to create new fat stores. The HCA is also thought to raise serotonin levels in the brain to make you less hungry.
In one study, two groups of rats were fed high fat diets. The group which did not consume extract of Garcinia Cambogia gained body weight. The group that did consume GC did not gain nearly as much weight as the former group. This indicates that using Garcinia Cambogia can help reduce weight gain. However, it is important to note that this study was NOT conducted on human beings so results could easily vary for human use.

Analysis Conclusion:
After investigating the key ingredients found in Skinny Body Max, I think it looks very promising as a weight loss solution and replacement for Skinny Fiber, the previous product I have been using. I like that it combines both glucomannan and caralluma in this product but with a bunch of other ingredients that seem to promote not only appetite suppression but also fat-blocking abilities. I am really looking forward to trying this product out and seeing it if lives up to its expectations. It’s important to remember that no dietary supplement can help you lose weight if your diet is extremely poor and you are only eating foods that are high in carbs and saturated fats. If you use this supplement and practice portion control and make healthy choices you will have success.
Skinny Body Max is taken twice a day. You take two pills prior to your two largest meals of the day.
For example:
- Take two pills a day at 12:00 PM with a large glass of water. Eat lunch at 12:30 PM after having waited a full half hour.
- Take two capsules at 7:00 PM with a tall glass of water. Have dinner at 7:30 PM after waiting at least a half hour.
Note: Do NOT take more than 4 capsules a day. This could result in constipation.
Skinny Body Max is now available for order! There are several options you can get for better deals. If you buy two bottles, you will get one free. If you buy three bottles, you’ll get three free. Each bottle contains a 30 day supply. So you get can 6 months worth of product for the price of three! If you’re looking for a product that can help you lose weight and has the research to back it up, I recommend Skinny Body Max as an excellent option for helping you meet your weight loss goals.

Yes before I can order do this product contains any shellfish or omega or fish oils I’m HIGHLY ALLERGIC please I need to know before taking this product
Hi Sharon! Thanks for your question and my apologies for the late response. There are no types of fish oils in this product, only the ingredients listed above. I hope this helps! 🙂
THANK YOU I HAVE PLACE MY ORDER 🙂
I would love to try this but about 20 years ago I tried something similar and it stuck in esophagus . Almost choked ,it was very painful. Called company and they told me to drink milk which did bring it up. And yes I did drink a lot of water with it. Any thoughts
Hi Kathy! I’m so sorry that happened to you, that sounds very scary and painful! There are many people who have difficulty swallowing pills and prefer to open up the capsules and mix the contents in liquid instead. You can certainly try that to help dissolve the pills and they will still be effective.
I have High bloodpressure – Can I take the Skinny body max?
Hi Signe! This product is 100% all-natural so it should still be fine to take. We recommend starting with one dosage a day of 2 pills and working your way up to the full four. Of course with your condition, I’d recommend printing off the list of ingredients and checking with your family physician as you would when starting any health supplement. 🙂
I am a diabetic is it safe to take
Hi Christine, I have contacted support on your behalf to inquire about your concern and the response was that there should be no problems with taking SBM as it is completely all-natural so shouldn’t interfere with any other supplements. Of course it’s a good idea to consult your physician just to be sure. 🙂
I like the break down you did of this product. Can you tell me how this compares to the
Youli diet since it is made up the same things. I haven’t tried either one yet, besides diabetes I have a heart problem and am afraid it would speed up my heart.
Thank you for any information you can send me,
Hi Wanda, Thank you for your kind words! Let me see if I can help you. From what I understand, the Yoli diet is a 30-day system in which you need to take a blend of products over the thirty days including the company’s shakes. While the products look to be good quality, the entire system costs over 320 dollars for a mere 30 days. Most people will not achieve their weight loss goals in just 30 days – additionally, it requires a great deal of diet change and following step by step instructions to the hour for what you can eat and which supplements to take. I don’t like this because it feels like the company is trying to make you become reliant on ordering their other products on a lifetime basis – as you won’t know what has helped you lose weight, the supplements, the shakes, and so forth. And investing over 300 per month is a huge price to pay when you don’t know what the results will be. Skinny Body Max is a lot more simple.
We have that much confidence in the formula, that you don’t need to take expensive shakes or other supplements alongside it. You take it twice a day, thirty minutes prior to eating your largest meals of the day with a tall glass of water or two. Even a six month supply of SBM is just a bit over half the cost of a one month supply of the yoli system. And based on my ingredients breakdown, I’m really confident that SBM has the right ingredients to help with weight management. Regarding your heart problem, there are other people who are taking this product with similar conditions and have experienced no side effects – the product is completely all-natural so there are no stimulants that would cause an increase in your heart speed. It’s always a great idea to talk to your family physician about it to make sure this right for you. 🙂
I have ulcerative colitis, a hiatal hernia and acid reflux. My body does not absorb nutrients easily, I cannot have high acidic foods and digestion is sometimes a problem. Do you see any drawbacks with consuming this product?
Hi Lori! Thanks for your comment – Considering the product is all-natural and is more of a vitamin than a fat burner, there shouldn’t be any interference with any of the issues you have listed above. There are two ways to take the product if you find that your body doesn’t absorb supplements easily – you could either take it in pill form, or open the capsules and mix the pills with diluted juice to help for easier absorption. Of course, we recommend consulting a family physician prior to taking the product to be sure it is okay for you. 🙂
Hi, I’m very interested in trying SBM. I only have about 15 pounds I need to lose (the last and hardest from my second pregnancy). I am having trouble deciding how many bottles I should order. The buy 2 get 1 free seems like a great deal. Do you continue to take the pills after you reach your goal? Thanks!
Hi Julie! First of all, well done for only have 15 pounds to lose after having had two babies! A lot of women don’t bounce back at all after gaining pregnancy weight. I think the 3 bottles option would be best for your weight loss goals. This product works in two ways, first as an appetite suppressant, and secondly it has other ingredients as I’ve listed above that can help block new fats and help trim the waistline. So after you reach your weight loss goals, it’s up to you how you’d like to proceed. Some people only order enough bottles to help them meet their goals. Whereas, other people like to take a smaller dosage each day to help with curbing the appetite if they find they are lacking in self control, etc. If you are capable of sticking to small portions and not needing that extra help appetite wise, you will be fine with just 3 bottles.
Is there an auto ship?
Hi Jennifer! You can choose the autoship option if you wish, or just place a one-time order. It’s up to you! 🙂
Good Monday Morning. I have interstitial cystitis, so I need caffeine free. I read ingredient list, looks safe for me. I need appetite control, but I do not eat meals, mainly a grazer. I know bad thing. How would I take these pills, just mid morning and later in afternoon?
Good morning, Tina! Yes, these are caffeine free so they should be perfect for you! I’d recommend taking them during the times of day when you find yourself grazing the most! If you eat more in the mid-afternoon/evening, then take it 30 minutes prior to having your snack/small meal, let’s say around 12:00 PM, and later at around 6:00 PM. If you eat more in the morning, then take it then but always 30 minutes before eating and with a tall glass of water 🙂
I am so impressed with seeing progress & results from others that are taking this product. I am on Blood Thinning Medication daily. Is your product safe if I decide to try it & if so what would I start out with.
Do these work? Any success stories please?
Hi Marion! You can find testimonials and before and after pictures here: https://www.facebook.com/SkinnyBodyMaxReviews/ Hope this helps! 🙂
Hi
Would this affect me should I get pregnant along the way
Thanks
Hi Aisha! I wouldn’t recommend taking these pills while trying to get pregnant. Better to use them before hand or wait until you are done breast feeding.
Will this work well with a low carb high fat diet?
Hi Shakira! Yes, they would work great with a diet like that as well.
Which is best for starters the regular Skinny Fiber or the Skinny Body Max. I am researching all aspects and need your input. Have never taken Skinny Fiber before, but read a lot about it. Thank you for your input.
Hi Sherry! I would recommend Skinny Body Max which is more of an upgraded version and rather than just being an appetite suppressant, also helps to stop/block new fat from forming!
I’m very sensitive to stimulants, caffeine, green tea, etc. Would these be okay for me to take?
Thanks,
Cheri
Hi Cheri! This supplement is completely natural and contains no stimulants whatsoever so they would be perfectly fine for you to take 🙂
can you ship to Ghana?
Hi Gabriel! Yes, we do ship to Ghana! When you order at the link above, it will automatically send your order from the closest distribution center to your home address. 🙂
Hi I had seen a pkg.deal for skinny fiber ,the max and the liquid for night time for $139 .00. Been looking for the site and can’t find it is there any way you can help me find a pkg. Kit like that . I would really like to start the product. Thank you
Hi, very impressive research, thank you. I have a thyroid problem and only eat kosher. I also do not take anything which contains any forms of alcohol. I am ready to purchase the skinny max as I am 5.5 stones over weight. Is this product suitable for me?
Thanks for the info. To get the 6 bottles plus the extra gift, which product would be best for me?
Hello again! You could get a 7th bottle of the Skinny body max, or if you’re interested in trying “Instant Youth” it’s also an incredible product for helping reduce fine lines and wrinkles – I use it daily!
Why wouldn’t you recommend use of this while trying to get pregnant?
Hi Laura! It’s more the case of if you were to get pregnant, and had some of it in your system it wouldn’t be recommended since a baby will require fat etc to grow and when losing weight, these pills have ingredients to block fat and so forth. Providing you aren’t pregnant while taking it, it should be fine however.
Is this product recommended for men?
Hi John! Yes, both men and women have had incredible results while using it. From stories I’ve heard, men often lose weight on SBM quicker than women will!
When taking SBM is it necessary to exercise or is it optional, and it’s okay to eat any food or do we need to be on a diet?
Thanks.
Hi again! Exercise is optional. You don’t need to diet wit SBM but of course, try to choose healthier foods where possible. SBM helps to control your appetite. So for example, at lunch and dinner you should be less hungry after taking the pills so you won’t eat as much food. That is how you will lose weight 🙂
Thanks for you answer. If I need only the hiburn8 and the skinny body max how much they would cost me to have both? Cause it didn’t give me the option to buy these two.
Can you please help me with that?
Thanks in advance.
Hi, How does it work with depression and anxiety medication?
Hi Lisa! I take anti-anxiety meds and there are no negative side effects whatsoever of taking Skinny Body Max alongside your other medication because it’s all natural! 🙂 I’d recommend taking it at a different time, so maybe take your meds either first thing in the morning or before bed and then take the SBM before lunch and dinner.
Hi again, does the time matter or do I have to respect the 7 hours after having lunch? I already bought them and I started taking them Friday the 15th. Sometimes I take lunch at 1:30 pm or 2:00 pm. Is that a problem?
Thanks in advance for your quick response.
Hi John! That was just an example, but no, you don’t need to space them 7 hours apart. It could be any time, just try not to have it LESS than 5-6 hours apart, because you do want them to work throughout the day/night. So if you have lunch at 1:30 or 2:00, dinner should be after 7 or 8. But it’s no problem, any time is fine just spaced apart.
Hi Jolene…do you have any experience with using the Skinny products with a Keto Diet??
ie. low carb high fat
I have a safety sensitive job we have random drug test. Will I show positive for any control substance.
Hello Sarah! This is totally safe to take and won’t show up for any control substance – it isn’t a fat burner, it is a fiber supplement and all ingredients are all-natural so you can take it without any problems! 🙂
hi ,was wondering if you can take the hiburn8 as well as skinnybodymax
need to lose weight ,and need help with sleeping . thanks
I have tried garcinia cambogia and my doctor said there is caffeine in this pill so with my meds would this still be ok to take where I can not have caffeine – mary
Hi, can I take this during menstruation? Thanks
Hi Erin! Absolutely you can take it during your cycle. There won’t be any interference or side effect. Just remember to drink plenty of water!
What side effects should I expect? I want to start it but I’m afraid that when I’m at work I might have to run to the bathroom, which would be hard for me considering I work on an assembly line.
Hi Julie! Don’t worry! The supplement doesn’t have any laxative type side effects which would cause any emergency bathroom trips! It might make you have more solid bowel movements when you do go, however. But primarily it will just help decrease your appetite and keep you regular. Most people just have an easier time going twice a day.
Hi, i just bought skinny body max and i am needing to lose way more then 50lbs and i was wondering what is the best way for me to lose it? I have been taking the SBM for 3 days now, 2 in morning before breakfast then 2 before dinner, and i have been drinking about 90oz of water and lots of fruits, vegetables, chicken breast, fish, do i need to do anything different? Im afraid of not seeing any results in my first month of taking this. I have 5 kids and my last baby is now 2 and i have struggled with weight since him, and i am now 50lbs heavier since before i got pregnant with him. I really need this product to work for me.
Hi Holly! Thanks for writing me. I can’t imagine how busy you must be with 5 kids! It sounds like you are doing great. Make sure to wait the full 30 minutes before eating breakfast and dinner. Some people prefer to take it before lunch, but it doesn’t really matter either way. Having it earlier in the day gets it in your system, so I prefer that too. As far as diet goes, I wrote this guide about using portion control containers. http://www.skinnyfiberamerica.com/21-day-fix-portion-containers/ If you provide me with your weight, I can help you determine the proper calorie bracket you should be following. 🙂
Do I have to take the pill and then eat? Or could I just take the pill and still lose weight?
Hi Cat! It is best to take the pill prior to meals. The reason for this is that it is designed to work as an appetite suppressant so it’ll have better use to use by having it 30 minutes to an hour before meals. If you don’t have many planned meals, try to take it in the morning and then before dinner.
What is the age limit for someone to take this. My 15 year old almost 16 is 205 pounds just wondering if this is something that could help reduce his appetite a little.
Hello Stephanie! Teenagers have had great success with this product as well. Kids as young as 12-13 can use it to help with their appetite so you teenager is a good age to start using it.
