Packed with prebiotic fibres, probiotics, polyphenols and soy peptides, Feel claims the sachets aim to stimulate the body's GLP-1 secretion - a satiety hormone that essentially tells your body it's full - to assist with portion control and gradually reduce the urge to snack, reports .

One study "aimed to analyse the effectiveness of the GLP-1 Formula (product name: Slim8D No.2) in reducing body weight and exploring its potential as a treatment for obesity." It observed that "the increase in GLP-1 in the body naturally suppresses appetite, thereby achieving weight loss" and found that the GLP-1 Formula product tested "demonstrated promise in reducing body weight and may serve as an effective alternative therapy for treating obesity."

The boast ingredients like kombucha black tea extract, which according to one study, means that "black tea polyphenols have excellent anti-obesity activity without apparent side effects" and are brimming with probiotics.

A synthesis of six studies on probiotics and obesity indicated that "the studies didn't all reach the same conclusions about how probiotics affect weight. In 67% of the studies, participants who took probiotics had lower body weight and body mass index (BMI). In 80% of the studies, people who took probiotics had a reduction in waist circumference."

Boris Hodakel, the brains behind Feel, expressed his enthusiasm: "We are very excited to launch the long-awaited Feel Pro Metabolic - smart appetite control which naturally supports hunger to make you feel full for longer. By curbing cravings naturally, it reduces hunger signals, making it easier to eat intuitively, without harsh and extreme diets or stimulants - working with your body, not against it."

For those who prefer a non-subscription option, Boots Pharmaceuticals offers Appetite Control - 60 capsules for £17.50. These capsules boast a "specialised high swelling capacity fibre complex of plant origin" and are designed to help you feel fuller longer.

Alternatively, Holland and Barrett stocks Apple Cider Vinegar 250mg with the Mother Apple Flavour 60 Gummies, conveniently located in the brand's online appetite supplement section. Not only are these gummies apple-flavoured, but they're also chock-full of beneficial bacteria that are great for maintaining digestive health.

One satisfied customer expressed: "We have been using the Pro Metabolic for a couple of weeks and I've noticed changes already! Not only do I feel like I am a lot less bloated, but I can genuinely feel that my digestion has improved. I have found that my tendency to snack has definitely lessened as well, but more importantly, this doesn't make your stomach feel upset or achy. It's a brilliant product, which I would definitely have again! Absolute game changer especially for those of us that don't want to take something like synthetic GLP-1!"

Another Feel fan shared their delight: "I was searching for a natural way to manage my appetite and maintain my weight loss, and this product has been perfect. No complicated preparations, just easy-to-use sachets. Within weeks, I’ve noticed my hunger levels are more controlled and I haven't got that need to snack any longer."

Still, not every review on Trustpilot is glowing; one shopper mentioned: "Love the selection of products available and that they are all free from animal cruelty. I wish they'd stay clear of artificial sweeteners - that's my only criticism. They also taste great. Looking forward to the results."

Speaking about Pro Metabolic, another customer reported: "I've been using the Pro Metabolic for a little while now, and I'm already noticing the benefits. It tastes great, which is always a bonus. It's really easy to use and I can definitely feel the effects already."

Shoppers can give the a go for £39.96 (though, bear in mind this is the subscription price) for 30 sachets, or make a one-off purchase for £51.96.
