About Me
My name is Chris Mullane, and although I'm supposed to be retired, I'm not really because I love meeting people and staying active. I'm glad I discovered Calocurb a few years ago when it first launched in New Zealand. I was particularly impressed that the New Zealand government supported the research conducted by Plant & Food Research NZ.
Early Experience with Calocurb
When I first started taking Calocurb, it went well initially. However, I got busy with other things, and some family members who tried it with me experienced side effects like bloating and stomach aches, so they stopped. A few years later, Calocurb repackaged its capsules with smaller doses of the NZ hops extract, making them easier to take. I restarted and appreciated the additional support materials—especially the fasting guide.
Discovering Fasting
At first I hesitated to dive into the fasting aspect, but the guide's information piqued my interest. I researched further and found compelling studies supporting the approach. With Calocurb's help, I started and maintained fasting—something I once thought impossible. It was surprisingly easy!
Calocurb's materials reference research from Dr Michael Mosley, whose book The Fast 800 (AUS & NZ edition) offers practical, research-backed guidance. We also rely on Clare Bailey's recipe book for simple, delicious meals that have reduced our weekly food costs.
My 18:6 Fasting Journey
I'm now in week 12 of an 18:6 schedule—fasting 18 hours overnight and eating within a 6 hour window starting at lunchtime. Skipping breakfast was easier than I expected; my grandkids even call my first meal "brunch." I usually stop eating around 6 pm, sometimes a bit later.
Results & Lifestyle
After 12 weeks, I've lost 11.4 kg (from 92.7 kg down to 81.3 kg). I hit a brief plateau once a week but stick to my routine regardless. During COVID-19 lockdowns I paused the gym, but now I'm back to regular exercise and even picking up an exercise bike this afternoon. I feel like I'm 21 again!
Why I Recommend Calocurb
If you're considering Calocurb, go for it—you have little to lose. The starter pack is affordable and includes helpful materials to get you going. I may sound like a "born-again health nut," but Calocurb works, and the program is easy to start and maintain.
