FAQ:

Q. How do GI Diet Patches work?

A. The Principle of GI Diet Patches is based on the fact that 95% of taste comes from smell and that cravings for sweet foods can be satisfied by smell to save calories. Therefore, GI Diet Patches are designed to target the olfactory (smell) senses. Our olfactory senses communicate with the brain via 500-800 receptors in the nose and at the back of our throat. Our brains have an “odour memory” and the receptors can distinguish several thousand different odours.

In association with the experts, the GI Aromacology Patch Company have developed an active aroma which is slowly released through the GI Diet Patch over 24 hours, to saturate the olfactory senses, so that cravings for high glycaemic index foods are diminished and in many cases eliminated.

Quite simply, the hardest foods to give up such as chocolate, cakes, biscuits and other sweet foods often contain hidden saturated fats. By eliminating these foods, our daily calorie intake is reduced leading to a sustained weight loss and healthier weight loss plan.

Q. Who should use GI Diet Patches?

A. Whatever your reasons for wanting to resist cravings for high Glycaemic Index sweet foods, GI Diet Patches can help.

Controlling cravings can be pivotal to the success of any persons’ slimming/healthy eating efforts and giving into cravings is a major reason why our efforts fail, especially in the first 10 days before we get used to our less fluctuating seratonin levels.

Q. Doesn't smelling chocolates, vanilla essence or the biscuit barrel work just as well?

A. No, whilst the principle is similar, the active aroma in GI Diet Patches is a combination of specially developed scents, which create a smell similar to vanilla which is slowly released over 24 hours, to progressively and continually saturate the olfactory senses.

Q. Are GI Diet Patches safe?

A. Yes. GI Diet Patches simply target the smell senses – the ability to distinguish other smells is not affected. Unlike nicotine patches, the active ingredient is not absorbed through the skin into the blood steam and it will help you maintain a healthy diet.

Q. How long do the GI Diet Patches need to be worn?

A. It varies. Some people only need to wear the GI Diet Patches for one week, others for longer. It really depends on how strong your urge for high Glycaemic Index foods are and how difficult you are finding it to stick to the GI diet. Once your appetite for sweet foods is diminished, your brain has registered that you no longer desire very sweet tastes and dieting becomes easy.

Q. What if I am allergic to plasters?

A. The GI Diet Patches are backed with hypoallergenic adhesive and very few, if any, people will have a sensitivity.

Q. Is it addictive?

A. Because the product is “not taken” or absorbed into the blood stream, the GI Diet Patches are completely safe and can be used for as long as they are helpful-no more harmful than wearing a favourite perfume everyday.

Q. Will other people know that I am using a GI Diet Patch?

A. No. The discreet GI Diet Patch is designed to be worn either on the hand, wrist or inside the blouse, just beneath the collar bone, the active aroma is designed to progressively saturate your olfactory senses over a period of 24 hours, but is not noticeable by others.

Q. Is it necessary to follow the GI Diet when using the patches?

A. The patches have been designed to complement to GI healthy eating plan. Some people find it hard to get used to the change in diet and fail because they can’t resist sweet puddings especially milk chocolate. The idea behind the patch is to help you resist these foods until your body gets used to the diet.
