Leisure 18 - White Version

This is my 3rd entry regarding my use of the slimming coffee called Leisure 18 – you can find my previous entries here and here. I cannot really call this my 3rd weight loss update because have temporarily stopped drinking this for reasons that will discuss some other time (after I have confirmed my theories). What I want to share with you now is about the 2nd box of Leisure 18 that I bought at a kiosk in SM Rosales. Yes, my 2nd box so you already qualify this as a late post but quite informative nonetheless.

So let me start by saying that I normally get my Leisure 18 from a Chinese drugstore located at SM North Edsa (it’s Century Drugstore if I am not mistaken located among those stalls outside of The Block, facing the main building). There was this instance when we went to Tarlac to visit my in-laws and I forgot to bring with me sachets of Leisure 18. I was religiously drinking this slimming coffee every morning; hence, I cannot afford to make a pass for 3 days. To make the story short, I bought a box of Leisure 18 from a kiosk in SM Rosales just so I won’t there won’t be any gap in my consumption of this slimming coffee.


The version of the Leisure 18 that I got from the Chinese drugstore at SM North Edsa were those in gold sachet so I was surprised when I saw that the one that I got from SM Rosales were in white sachet. I was so confused then if what I purchased was authentic or not. The markings for authenticity such as the holograms all over the box, the sticker and embossed/engraved dates (expiry and manufacturing) were present but then, why the white packaging? The taste, on the other hand, of the gold and white versions was the same.

Nevertheless, I still consumed the whole box of the white version out of “panghihinayang”. Hey, the money I used to buy those was hard-earned money and I just cannot afford to let it go to waste. So I was hoping against hope that it was authentic and will work wonders just like the gold version does.

After I have fully consumed a box of the white version, I made sure that I bought my 3rd box from that Chinese drugstore in SM City. While I made my purchase, I asked the sales attendant what’s the difference between the white and the gold versions? According to her, the Leisure 18 in white sachet that I bought was also authentic but it is milder compared to the gold one. That was enough to assure me that I didn’t waste my money on a box of Leisure 18 in white sachets! :)

In a matter of 2 weeks I will be able to prove or disprove the theory that was running through my mind and after that might continue with Leisure 18 or try another product called Nature Fashion Slimming Coffee. I’ll keep you posted though.
