I bought 11p supplement four months ago, lost 22lbs and gained a six-pack Zack bought a big bag and has a serving every morning A man lost 10kg (22lbs) and got back his 'six pack' after taking an 11p-a-serving supplement which he says curbed his sugar cravings and stopped his snacking. Zack Chug, 26, read about fibre-rich psyllium husks four months ago. The natural fibre supplement is mixed with liquid to form a gel, which is then drunk. He ordered a 500g bag of the husks, derived from the Indian plantago ovata plant for £11.49 on Amazon - which makes up 100 servings. Zack, an influencer from Alton, Staffordshire, lost his chiselled abs due to stress-snacking and sugar cravings, he says. He began drinking psyllium husks every morning, mixed with water and sugar-free Vimto squash - and noticed his sugar cravings fall away completely within a week, he claims. Four months down the line, Zack has lost around 10kg and regained definition on his stomach - and swears by the product to keep sugar cravings at bay and help people stick to their diets. Reviews published in the National Institute of Health's National Library of Medicine show that consumption of psyllium husk may improve glycemic control, reduce cholesterol, enhance bowel function and promote gastrointestinal health. They note possible side effects can include bloating, allergic reactions and gastrointestinal obstruction resulting from inadequate water consumption - but that it is generally considered safe when taken at the correct dosage and when enough water is consumed alongside it. Zack said: "I did my research beforehand, looking at the data and the science. I'm a big advocate for a healthy lifestyle but I had some mental health challenges and I needed a way to rebuild myself mentally and physically. "A big component for me was emotional eating and numbing emotions with food, and I read that psyllium husk keeps you full for longer and controls your appetite. I thought I'd give it a try and within the week I had stopped going for snacks. Before, I'd reach for cookies, chocolate, whatever was around the house. "I did see a change on the scales - I have now dropped around 10kg - as an impact of it reducing the sugar cravings and my overeating. It's not a magical pill or cure for losing fat but it can help you stick to a calorie deficit and control your sugar cravings. It helps build that mental discipline." Zack, who shares his washboard abs in videos on Instagram and TikTok, began to notice himself gaining weight earlier this year after struggles with mental health, due to criticism online coupled with a recent heartbreak. He used sugary food as a comfort and began "numbing emotions with food", he said. "I have a big sweet tooth and I was just binge eating until the point I felt sick," he said. After doing research online he purchased the Natural Health 4 Life psyllium husk pouch and took 5g each morning. The husks contain around 70% soluble fibre, meaning it helps the body absorb water and supports gut health, according to Holland and Barrett's website. It can include improving blood sugar control by slowing digestion, increasing feelings of fullness and generally supporting digestive health, as long as enough water is consumed throughout the day. He said: "It thickens to a jelly and after I drank it, the food noise and sugar cravings would disappear. "It's all natural, people want shortcuts these days but this is a balanced, sustainable approach to living a healthy lifestyle. Because you're also consuming something with a high-volume, it has that psychological effect making you feel more full." Zack said his defined abs returned in April, thanks to the psyllium husk alongside a healthy diet, regular gym training and taking several supplements as part of his standard daily routine. He said: "I would definitely recommend people try it, especially with the social trends around GLP1s and peptides. "Even for a week, it helped me - it'll help you stick to a diet and a habitual routine, taking it every morning, knowing it's in your body and having a positive impact. Even if you're not trying to lose weight, it's good in general to make sure you're getting enough fibre."
