Ideas or insights? It's up to you.

Let me introduce myself – I am Oleg Kurchenko, co-founder of the company “Brand Atelier “OK” and co-developer of “Eat2Slim” crisps. I am a doctor by profession, Master of Medicine and Candidate of Medical Sciences. For about 30 years I have worked in multinational and domestic pharmaceutical companies in management positions.

As a specialist, I am well aware of the fantastic properties of the combination of psyllium husk (scientific name – psyllium) and konjac extract (scientific name – glucomannan). These two substances, due to the huge content of microcrystalline cellulose, are almost not digested in the human body and, therefore, do not carry a source of energy. At the same time, they are able to absorb a huge amount of liquid and increase in volume several times. This volume fills our stomach and is able to reduce the amount of food that enters our diet, simply due to the physical lack of space.

Products made from a combination of these magical substances exist in both Europe and America. But they have significant drawbacks. For example, the well-known American product is available as a thick liquid in small bottles that are recommended to be drunk before lunch or dinner. But this liquid is almost tasteless; its use does not bring any pleasure. Another example: in some European markets there are capsules or sachets with a combination of psyllium and glucomannan, but in an amount insufficient for a noticeable effect.

Therefore, we decided to creatively approach the development of our own product, to eliminate its known shortcomings and add positive qualities. We added pumpkin seed meal to psyllium and glucomannan. Pumpkin seeds themselves are invaluable for their beneficial components. And the meal is a dry powder from which the oil has been pressed, the main source of excess calories in this product. Then we mixed these three components in the required proportion, added drinking water, some types of spices, and baked in a bread oven.

The result was pleasing! We received our “Eat2Slim” Crisps, which are delicious! They enter the mouth like any other food, are chewed at the same time as drinking liquid, and thus even at a psychological level recreate the process of eating. One sachet together with liquid is completely enough to eliminate the feeling of hunger for several hours, while supplying the body with only a tiny amount of calories.

Our development is an absolute novelty, and therefore it deservedly received a Ukrainian patent for the invention! Now we have “Eat2Slim” Crisps, which completely replace one meal a day and help you lose weight without feeling hungry!
