The Gelatin Trick is real and I have spent 40 days experimenting with it to prove its authenticity. Like many of you, I have been looking for years for something that actually works in helping me remove weight without huge costs and inconvenience. I have found my solution right in my own home. And I am going to give you this weight loss recipe for free, no strings attached. This is not bait and switch. This is not an elaborate sales job. Just a simple article explaining the details exactly what I have been doing, including the lifestyle and costs of doing it.
Now if you just don’t care to read or learn the details you can go to the end of this article and check out the recipe. It is all right there for the taking. However, if you do want the details, keep reading.
What this is NOT!
I am no celebrity, and there will be no 30 minute long videos, all done by AI, repeating themselves over and over again, just trying to entice you. You know the ones with the big, well known celebrity who has lost a million pounds in 45 days telling you they’re going to give you the secret of this do at home recipe. Only to find they are selling some form of a liquid or gummy made of who knows what, you can have for $75 for a 30 day supply. Oh, reading the directions, it is suggested to use double the amount, so the supply is really only for 15 days.
This is not a miraculous liquid, gummy, patch, or any other such concoction made up of special asian herbs and botanicals flown from parts unknown to our special lab so the highest concentrations can be formulated just so we can make sure of its purity. What nonsense, and you will see none of that here. Every item I am about to show you can be bought at Walmart or your local grocery store. They are as easy to mix as they are to buy.
The Ingredients:
- Green Tea – No extracts – just regular tea bags.
- Ginger powder
- Turmeric w/ black pepper – there is a peppery after taste.
- Knox Gelatin
- Amino Lean Pre-Workout Powder
- Additional adds at times: Cinnamon and Lemon Juice or Unsweeten Dark Cherry Juice
Why I Started Looking For A Solution
My frustrations had boiled over during March of this year when I had purchased and used a patch solution which was absolutely worthless. Determined to find a real answer I found the Gelatin Trick. Each site touting this solution did exactly as I had outlined above wasting 30 to 40 minutes of my time to finally pitch their liquid or gummy. But the idea of something satisfying my cravings while giving me appetite control and keeping a full feeling in my stomache really enticed me. So I started to research all the ingredients they said in the video. And it made sense.
Through my research I found weight gain was actually a survival mechanism built into your metabolism. When under stress your body will trigger the “fight or flight” hormone called cortisol. This is the prime culprit to weight gain and in today’s sedentary lifestyles in front of TV or computer screens stays in high flow in your system packing on the pounds.
The other contributor is processed foods. Yup! All the chips, popcorn and sodas (including diet soda) consumed while sitting in front of the TV or computer. Your body with cortisol converts all material it deems foreign into fat. Anything your body does not know what to do with it converts to fat or is expelled. So all the chemicals, oils and modified natural materials in processed food keep the cortisol levels high to create more fat. I am just as guilty as many of you with my afternoon snacks of Doritos or tortilla chips with cheese dip.
Of course, there are other contributors, some you know (lack of excercise) but others will surprise you. Did you know caffeine raises your cortisol levels? And you thought it was helping you! So all those energy drinks packed with sugars, chemicals and caffeine or that 24oz coffee in your tumbler were only helping you pack on the pounds. I drank 28 to 40 ounces of coffee a day. Additionally lack of sleep will keep cortisol levels high. Less than 6 to 7 hours of restful sleep will contribute to weight problems. So problems like sleep apnea, frequent urination during the night, or life worries can add to issues. And everyone knows about excessive alcohol consumption.
Heres Your Sign High Cortisol Levels Is An Issue
High Cortisol levels manifest in your life any number of ways but these are a few of the tell tail signs there could be an issue:
- Weight gain around the tummy area – Guilty
- Poor Sleep – I have sleep apnea
- Fatigue
- Irritability
- Brain fog
- Sugar cravings – I crave snacks all day long
- Anxiety
- Low testosterone in men – I am in my upper 60’s
- High blood pressure – On 4 medications
- Reduced sex drive – Ask the wife
How I Make This Weight Loss Recipe
I will just say it out loud: I am starting this journey at 333 lbs in my upper 60’s and only 5 foot, 10 inches tall. I found my weight loss recipe and put it to work. I basically drink 1 full tumbler (28 ounces) during the day. It has been sporadic whether it was in the morning or afternoon or evening. I am now settling on sipping it all day long with separate glasses of water for thirst. The water works great because of the peppery after taste from the Tumeric. These are changes I have been making along the way to enhance the effectiveness. My eating habits are also changing as this progresses.
At first I skipped breakfast, other than my recipe and ate a full lunch around 12 noon. Lunch was a large salad with normal ranch or french dressing or leftovers from dinner (usually a meat and rice or pasta). No I am not restricting the type of food I eat. My wife plans dinner as usual because she has diet restrictions. I have noticed over time I am eating less because of the full feeling I am experiencing throughout the day. Just recently I began eating something in the morning ( a protein, preferred) like a boiled egg or two slices of meat. I am experimenting with eating more often but far less when I do eat.
I make a full pot of green tea in the morning. When I am ready for the recipe I put a scoop of Ginger, 2 turmeric capsules (broken open and emptied), a scoop of Amino Lean and sometimes a scoop of Cinnamon. I pour the hot green tea in as I stir the ingredients. After adding the tea I stir in 1 Knox Gelatin packet. It took the first ten days to get things going. So Far, over 40 days, I have lost 17 lbs. and my blood pressure has gone from 140/85 to 127/66. (Remember I am still on blood pressure medication. Seeing my doctor soon to get it adjusted.)
Addendum: 52 days in – 25 lbs lost. Blood Pressure – 127/66. My blood sugar: A1C – 5.6. (Just saw doctor). I have substituted Lemon concentrate (3 small squirts) and 4 teaspoons of honey for the Amino Acid.
What is the Gelatin Trick?
Gelatin is not on its own the magic pill here but has several beneficial properties that aid in a weight loss purpose. Gelatin is made from Animal Protein Collagen and therefore is infused with amino acids. The two principal amino acids which contribute to weight loss are Glycine and Alanine. Scientific research suggests these two amino acids support the body’s natural production of appetite suppressing hormones including GLP-1 and GIP. These are the hormones that the weight loss drug injections mimic and cost hundreds of dollars per dose per month or per week.
For more about GLP-1 and current injection therapies see this well written article by someone else who has struggled even more than I with these issues: Go Here!
Being made of collagen the gelatin mixture has added benefits. As you are losing weight the collagen peptides support muscle density and help keep joints mobile and flexible. Your skin may feel more pliable and retain its elasticity, reducing skin sag as weight is reduced. This is particularly important for those wishing to achieve a major change in their weight. I for one am looking to achieve no less than 100 lbs of weight loss before ending this crusade.
The Amino Lean added to my recipe is there to enhance the amount of Alanine. A multi-vitamin is also taken each day to support good overall nutrition. The additional amino acid boost aids in the absorption of the vitamins and their use throughout the body. When selecting an amino acid supplement be careful of sugar and caffeine levels. Amino Lean has both but not severe enough to offset results as you can see from mine.
Added benefitz to the amino acid supplements are the liver support properties. Several of the amino acids contained in this supplement are good to reduce fatty liver and/or support good over all liver health.
Per-Serving Recipe (Makes 1 Serving – Repeat 2–3 Times Daily)
- 1 teaspoon (about 3–4 grams) unflavored gelatin powder (e.g., Knox or grass-fed brand (unflavored); this is a gentle starting amount for satiety without making it too thick or causing digestive discomfort).
- 8–10 oz (1 cup / 240–300 ml) hot (not boiling) brewed green tea — Use decaf if you’re sensitive to caffeine or taking it later in the day. This serves as the base and contributes mild EGCG for metabolism support.
- ¼–½ teaspoon ginger extract or powder (or a small slice of fresh ginger, grated; start low to avoid stomach upset).
- ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder (curcumin source for inflammation support).
- Pinch (⅛ teaspoon or less) of black pepper (or piperine extract) — This dramatically improves turmeric absorption (up to 2,000% in studies).
- Optional Amino Acid Supplement: I only use 1 scoop instead of 2.
- Optional for taste/pink color and extra mild benefits: 1–2 tbsp unsweetened tart cherry, pomegranate, or cranberry juice (or a squeeze of lemon). Avoid added sugars.
- Amino Acid Substitute – A squirt of Lemon Concentrate and 1 1/2 teaspoons of honey.
Total daily estimate (for 3 servings): ~3 tsp gelatin, ~3 cups green tea, modest extracts. This keeps things conservative to minimize GI side effects.
Suggested Preparation Steps (Quick & Easy)
- Bloom the gelatin: In a mug or small bowl, sprinkle the 1 tsp gelatin over 2–3 tbsp cold water or a bit of the cooled green tea. Let it sit 1–2 minutes to “bloom” (soften).
- Dissolve: Add the hot brewed green tea (around 180–190°F / just below boiling) and stir vigorously until the gelatin fully dissolves (30–60 seconds). You can microwave briefly (10–20 seconds) if needed, but don’t overheat.
- Add actives: Stir in the ginger, turmeric + black pepper (piperine), and any optional juice. Mix well — the black pepper helps with curcumin bioavailability.
- Serve:
- Drink warm as a soothing tea-like beverage.
- Or pour into a small dish/silicone molds and refrigerate 1–2 hours to set into soft “jello” cubes or squares for a more snack-like experience (popular in bariatric versions).
- Timing: Consume 15–30 minutes before lunch, dinner, or a snack. Space servings throughout the day (e.g., 10 AM, 3 PM, 7 PM) to help with appetite control without overloading your system.
Batch option (for convenience): Prepare a larger batch in the morning (triple the ingredients in 3–4 cups green tea), divide into 3 portions, and store in the fridge. Reheat gently or eat chilled as a gelatin snack.

Final Words
I have found my weight loss recipe to be a “go to” tool. After I complete my goals, I can use this recipe any time I feel a few extra pounds need to be removed. Now, am I saying this is the magic pill above all others? Absolutely Not! But what I am saying that after years of pills, gummies, patches, concoctions, sweat, promises and dollars out the door I have finally found something that works for me that fitz my lifestyle and budget.
After 40 days my appetite is under control with far fewer cravings and improved blood pressure. Better yet, the ingredients are far less expensive and far easier to use than those expensive shots and pills. (I hate needles by the way). Sometimes the best solutions are not hidden in an expensive bottle. Sometimes they are already sitting on the shelf of your pantry or at your local grocery store.
