In this PhenQ review, one of my neighbors has shared his experience of using PhenQ. He also tells why he exactly started using PhenQ.
Not to miss the latter part of this PhenQ review, as it also contains his consumption results.
Also, I have discussed some of the essential points about PhenQ. These points might help you understand more about the same.
What Is PhenQ?
According to the manufacturers, PhenQ is a revolutionary substance and one of the new diet pills formulas manufactured by Wolfson Brands (UK) Limited.
As per their claims, they have designed PhenQ in such a way that it could help you get slim and achieve the physique that you have always wanted.
According to its makers, PhenQ is made in the USA, under FDA and GMP certified facilities, and is said to be formulated with the highest quality of scientifically proven and tested ingredients.
The official website claims that PhenQ is a diet pill that tries to work by suppressing your appetite, and may also help in blocking fat production and might help improve your mood and burn stored fat accumulated in the body.
How Does PhenQ Work?
PhenQ contains a curated list of scientifically tested ingredients, proven according to the manufacturer. The official website claims that it may help in weight loss.
An ingredient like caffeine is used in formulating PhenQ, which is linked with the fat-burning process and is also used in many other dietary supplements. It may also stimulate focus and alertness.
As per their ingredient profile, PhenQ also contains nopal cactus, which is said to be rich in amino acids and that could also accelerate weight loss in your body.
Another listed ingredient present in PhenQ is Capsimax powder, a blend of capsicum, niacin, piperine, and caffeine. The capsicum plant and piperine have specific thermogenic properties that could enable the body to burn more fat.
A natural ingredient, chromium picolinate, is found in meat, vegetables, and whole grains and is used as an ingredient in PhenQ, which could help you curb your sugar cravings and may also help in managing sugar levels.
PhenQ contains ingredients that may stop fat production in the body and help you manage your calorie intake.
According to its makers, PhenQ also claims to suppress your appetite, which means you would naturally feel fuller for longer hours. Reducing other hunger could also help you manage your diet plans, and cutting back on calories could also become easy.
It may also help boost your energy levels and help manage a healthy diet as Vitamin B present in it could help keep your energy levels high and keep your mood light as well.
After understanding PhenQ and its working, let us discuss the ingredients in detail.

Piperine’s weight loss properties have been mentioned here[3] as well.
My Personal Experience With PhenQ
I have always been a fatty in my physical appearance, so I had developed a habit of staying distant from others as I was conscious of how I looked.
Being bigger does not mean you should lack confidence, but in my case, it was, and it was now taking a toll on my mental and physical health.
My brother had a lean-built physique that could make even the models run for their money. From his initial days, he knew the benefits of exercise which is the reason he was always consistent with his schedule.
However, my neighbors always praised my brother for how he remained so fit and healthy.
I tried joining the yoga class for weight loss and changing my lazy routine, but it went in vain as I found myself pretty much distracted.
I even tried changing my eating habits, but now and then, I used to give in to my cravings.
One day I decided to go for my morning walk and start with some basic and beginner levels of exercise and I did stick to it for a month. I lost some weight during this month and felt happy about my small accomplishment.
After a few months, my weight loss came to a standstill. I was again disappointed as I was doing everything which I could, but the weight wouldn’t start to budge.
I had to do something about it as I was determined to lose weight and get healthy by whatever means possible. So I changed my diet. I also switched to high-fiber foods. I decided that I will stick to a diet with more whole foods and nutrient-rich food sources and structured my meal plan accordingly.
I planned to join a gym. Like regular days, my morning walks are followed by a few high-intensity workouts. Then I used to move to proper workout sessions for muscle building.
My Trainer's Recommendations
I told my trainer why I joined the gym. After listening to all my issues and problems, he gave me a few tips to gain muscle and lose weight at the same time.
He requested that I should add specific foods that might create a calorie deficit in my daily diet. Hence, he recommended several cutting foods and some high protein foods.
According to him, I also should a few high-fiber foods as well. So high fiber content helps my body eliminate the waste generated in the form of defecation.
My trainer suggested I try PhenQ, which could help kickstart my fat loss journey as he had advised his other clients. In addition, he educated me about weight loss VS fat loss.
He mentioned that I should go for the fat loss rather than weight loss. According to him, most of his clients have gained positive results because they were consistent.
After my workout session, I went back home and did little research myself, as I wanted more proof of the product’s effectiveness.
After looking into the science and PhenQ’s product formulation and reading about the positive feedback from other customers, I decided to give PhenQ a try and see if it could work for me as it did for so many others.
I also decided to consider all the weight loss tips my gym trainer gave me.
My Results With PhenQ
Here’s what happened when I tried it:
- After a few days of taking my first dose of PhenQ, I felt I was doing more work throughout the day than usual. Also, PhenQ improved my energy levels as well.
- After work hours, I usually felt drained out of energy and would skip my squash sessions now and then, but this stopped, and I felt motivated and happy.
- Not only this, but I also felt that my cravings had taken a back seat, and I no more felt the urge to binge on chocolates, and I felt fuller for longer hours.
- My evening naps also stopped. Rather than sleeping, I took my pet out for his play now, and my pet seems to be entirely happy about it.
- Following up the second week, I experienced that my t-shirts have started fitting me better and that I have gotten one size smaller than before.
- After a few days more, I could start noticing visible changes in the mirror, and even my brother saw it and complimented me for the same.
- Wholesome foods, proper nutrition, and PhenQ’s supplementation worked for me pretty well, and I finally started losing weight.
- My trainer appreciated my hard work in the gym and said I looked energized throughout my workout session and even after it.
- PhenQ made my weight loss journey more accessible than ever. It did what it claims to do and has even helped me suppress my appetite, making me eat less.
Below is the dosage I took for the results that I got from consistent usage of PhenQ and a proper diet and workout schedule.
How Did I Use PhenQ: Its Dosage
I followed a recommended dosage given on PhenQ’s official website. My first dosage was with breakfast and another with lunch. After that, I consumed them regularly to get the desired results.
I never tried to exceed the recommended dosage. However, since I was consuming caffeine already, I decided to cut down my daily caffeine intake.
I took utmost care in maintaining a proper diet and followed a strict workout routine, and all of this resulted in accelerating my weight loss journey.
My PhenQ Benefits

With consistent usage of this product, I was able to experience improved energy levels. The ingredients present in PhenQ charged me up for the whole day, and I no more felt lazy and laidback.

One of the best benefits that I got from the regular usage of this product was that it helped me burn stubborn fat and improve my metabolism levels.
Help In Suppressing Appetite

Final Words On PhenQ Review
Overall, I would say that PhenQ has helped me reach closer to my weight loss goals, and I could not be any happier about it.
My cravings for chocolates and shakes took a back seat, and then eventually, they stopped too. Even though I was consuming fewer calories, I ate nutritious food, and with PhenQ’s consistent consumption, I was able to feel full and energized.
My ultimate goal was to lose weight and get lean and healthy, and with consistent usage of this product, I am pretty positive that I will be able to accomplish that sooner rather than later.
