March Bulu Box Weight Loss Review

The packaging for this brand is pretty stellar.

I know that that is a ton a pics! This info "card" is really a fold-out booklet with tons of stuff: info on products, how to gain points, a recipe, and a exercise how-to.

These are "extras." 5 recipe cards ranging from shakes to cookies, a special feature that only the weight loss box subscribers got. There is also a $50 gift card to iTrain where you can download workouts. Oh, and a sticker.

Barlean's Omega Swirl Fish Oil in Key Lime: Fish Oil is supposed to contribute to weight loss by helping convert your fat into energy. I know Fish Oil is also great to help lessen depression and anxiety, and it can be good for your skin. The downside? Fish oil usually tastes like fish oil (duh)- and capsules usually give you "fish burps" This claims to have a smoothie taste and texture so I will definitely give it a try. 

XyloBurst Xylitol Gum in Green Tea: This one is easy: chewing gum has shown to help curb cravings. This gum is sugar free with xylitol instead of aspartame etc. thus making it healthier. I have TMJ so I don't chew gum but sometimes I chew gum for two seconds for taste- weird? CJ has already tried this though so I know it won't go to waste. Price: $1.29

Redd Remedies trueENERGY: Laziness leads to some chunk in your gut! So, this should give you some energy. Stimulant Free, Gluten Free, Vegetarian, and Non-habit forming, I will give this a try as I have been tired about 22 hrs /day recently. Price: $1.04

Prolab Quick Fire: Ok, this is what I was waiting for, a straight up supplement. I've never tried supplements before so I am excited to try my very first one. Before my first work-out in months(!) I plan on using this! Gotta burn some calories! Price: $1.10

Dream Water in Pineapple PM: This is a product I knew about before receiving that box (Twitter and the like) and was excited to try it. I have said it before, but I am NOT a morning person and combine that with working nights and CJ working days, so our only hang-out time is after 11 pm, I have been on a super terrible sleep schedule. I also have bouts of insomnia and have to use melatonin and the like to sleep at times. This water has melatonin in it so I trusted it right away. I used it the other night and while I was able to sleep, I am unsure whether it was because I only slept about 4 hours the night before (had to wake up early for work and couldn't sleep). My trial of this was at the worst time since I had to take medst that make me sick and so all day I was sick and sleepy. I am stoked I have two samples of this so I can give this another try at an appropriate time! From what I can tell though, it helped put me out, and no brainer, sleep means more energy which means more weight loss. Price: $3.75

NrGX Labs Red Stinger: Red Stinger says they will boost your metabolism, curb your appetite, and give you more energy. Wow- that's a lot for one little pill. Again, an appetite suppressor is out of my comfort zone but I might as well dive in! Price: $0.67

Verdict: I know I haven't posted the regular box yet but the Bulu Box Weight Loss has more products and ones that suit my needs better. All totaled this box is valued at $8.18 although that doesn't include points you can earn by reviewing the products on their site or the $50 gift card. It doesn't match the $10 this box costs but I got this box free with a code so I didn't care plus I would never be able to pick these items out on my own. This is the start of this new subscription service so I am interested to see where it will go in the future. I also love the referral program of this box- people you refer get a FREE box and you get points to full-size products and I LOVE boxes that allow skipping months like this one does. I may skip a month or two in the future but I am planning on seeing where this brand new service goes!
