It contains a number of great diet pill ingredients, almost all of which have been patented.  While their claim that you&#8217;ll &#8220;Permanently Lose 900% More Body Fat&#8221; is a bit far fetched, the bottom line is that it shows some definite promise.  </p>
<p>This Liporexall review will dig a little deeper to see if Liporexall is as impressive as it&#8217;s first impression leads us to believe.</p>
<h3>Liporexall Ingredients</h3>
<p><strong>ChromeMate</strong> - ChromeMate, a patented form of chromium, is designed to regulate levels of sugar in the blood.  Many believe this leads to weight loss.</p>
<p><strong>Super Citrimax</strong> - Super Citrimax is a proven weight loss ingredient due to it&#8217;s inclusion of HCA.  HCA has been shown to inhibit fat production and suppress appetite. </p>
<p>*Note:  On May 1, 2009 the FDA issued a warning to consumers to stop taking Hydroxycut-branded products.  Over more than 7 years they have received 23 reports of health related issues with those taking Hydroxycut-branded products.  The main health concern appears to be serious liver-related problems.  Iovate Health Sciences Inc., the makers of Hydroxcut, have voluntarily recalled all of the products under question in the FDA&#8217;s report.</p>
<p>In light of the recent FDA warning concerning the possible dangers of Hydroxycut-branded diet pills, many believe that the associated health risks are likely due to the inclusion of the commonly used ingredient Hydroxycitric Acid, or HCA. And while according to the FDA, &#8220;The agency has not yet determined which ingredients, dosages, or other health-related factors may be associated with risks related to these Hydroxycut products. The products contain a variety of ingredients and herbal extracts.&#8221; you can never be too cautious.  </p>
<p>So, while further study and research is needed to confirm the link between HCA and the liver problems, until proven otherwise <strong>any products that contain HCA are no longer recommended on this website.</strong> </p>
<p><strong>Pinnothin</strong> - Pinnothin is meant to cause appetite suppression.  </p>
<p><strong>NeOpuntia</strong> - A complex of fibers that binds with fat in order to make them unabsorbable, NeOpuntia a good diet pill ingredient with quite a bit of research backing it up.</p>
<p><strong>Phase-2</strong> - A starch neutralizer, Phase-2 is designed to block the starch.  Phase-2 is a great addition to other quality ingredients.</p>
<p><strong>7-KETO</strong> - While more research is certainly desirable, 7-KETO has shown to be an effective weight loss ingredient.  It helps to break down DHEA, which aids in weight loss.</p>
<p><strong>ForsLean</strong> - Research shows that forskohlin, the main ingredient in ForsLean, helps to promote lean muscle mass.  </p>
<p><strong>Infinergy DiCaffeine Malate</strong> - Infinergy contains caffeine, which has been shown to increase metabolic function, leading to weight loss.  Caffeine is one of the few diet pill ingredients that is actually fully backed by loads of research.  </p>
<p><strong>Tonalin</strong> - Another quality ingredient, Tonalin is a patented form of CLA (conjugated linoleic acid).  CLA a lot of research backing up it&#8217;s claims to help retain muscle while lowering body fat.  </p>
<p><strong>Bioperine</strong> - Bioperine is a patented ingredient designed to help in the absorption of nutrients.  While it won&#8217;t cause weight loss by itself, it&#8217;s a welcomed addition to other effective ingredients.  </p>
<p>All in all the ingredients in Liporexall looks to be quite effective.  The inclusion of Super Citrimax (which contains HCA), however, causes me to not recommend the product in light of the recent news with Hydroxycut.  </p>
<h3>Liporexall&#8217;s Marketing</h3>
<p>I like that the Liporexall website contains a good deal of information about each ingredient in the product and has a very clear focus on the ingredients throughout the site.  Too many diet pills barely mention the ingredients and do little more than spit a sales pitch at you.  Knowing the ingredients, you can do your own research to see if it will be effective.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m not quite so sure about the lofty claims Liporexall (900% increase in weight loss, build 700% more lean muscle, etc.), but I&#8217;ll let you be the judge.</p>
<h3>A Lifetime Guarantee</h3>
<p>While there was little information about the requirements/process of the money back guarantee, they do have a <strong>lifetime</strong> guarantee.  This is an amazing guarantee in this industry (anything over 60 days is pretty good).</p>
<h3>How Much does Liporexall Cost?</h3>
<p>One bottle of Liporexall will cost $49.99 and should last you 30 days.  They do offer discounts for larger orders.  </p>
<h3>Liporexall Conclusion</h3>
<p>Liporexall contains some solid ingredients.  While I wish we knew how much of each was included, the ingredient profile is likely to be very effective.  The prices is average, and the guarantee is great.  If it didn&#8217;t have HCA thrown in the mix, I would recommend Liporexall.  </p>

<p>LipoCut Hardcore diet pills claim to be &#8220;the most powerful fat burner on the market&#8221; (website). This LipoCut Hardcore review answers your questions about LipoCut Hardcore so you have all the facts before deciding if this is the product for you.</p>
<h3>What are the ingredients in LipoCut Hardcore diet pills?</h3>
<p>The following is the ingredient list found on the LipoCut Hardcore website.</p>
<p><strong>Green tea</strong> (45% EGCG) (300 mg) does cause weight loss, and unlike many other diet pills, LipoCut Hardcore actually contains enough green tea to be effective.</p>
<p><strong>Caffeine</strong> (300 mg) is another great diet pill, and once again LipoCut Hardcore has included enough caffeine to cause weight loss.</p>
<p><strong>Ciccus Quadrangularis</strong> (5% Ketosteroids) (200 mg) does contribute to weight loss when combined with other ingredients.</p>
<p><strong>White Willow</strong> (25% Salicin) (100 mg) is an anti-inflammatory, but it does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p><strong>DMAE Bitartrate</strong> (50 mg) is a mood enhancer, but it does not directly contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p><strong>Xanthinol Niconate</strong> (50 mg) improves brain blood flow, but there is no proof that it causes weight loss.</p>
<p><strong>Evodia Rutaecarpa</strong> (20% Evodiamines) (40 mg) has been shown to contribute to weight loss in rodents but not in humans.</p>
<p><strong>Inula Racemosa</strong> (min. 2% Alantolactone) (20 mg)</p>
<p><strong>Inositol Hexaphosphate</strong> (IP-6) (20 mg)</p>
<p><strong>Apidosperma Quebracho-Blanco </strong>(.3% Alkoids) (12 mg)</p>
<p><strong>Codonopsis Pilosula</strong> (11 mg)</p>
<p><strong>Cnidium Monier</strong> (10 mg) is supposed to help with circulation.</p>
<p><strong>Bioperine</strong> (5 mg) helps the body absorb nutrients, but it does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p><strong>Yohimbine HCL</strong> (4.5 mg) does contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Other Ingredients: <strong>Magnesium Stearate, Gelatin</strong></p>
<p>WARNING: LipoCut Hardcore contains a very high amount of caffeine. Be sure to evaluate your own reaction to caffeine before taking this product.</p>
<p>So what does all this add up to? This LipoCut Hardcore review finds LipoCut Hardcore contains some great ingredients. These are ingredients you will find in dozens of other diet pills. We would really like to see a power player ingredient like Synephrine in LipoCut Hardcore. Is it revolutionary? No.  Is it possible that it will help you lose weight?  If you can stand the high amounts of caffeine, it&#8217;s quite possible. </p>
<h3>What if LipoCut Hardcore doesn&#8217;t work for me?</h3>
<p>The LipoCut Hardcore website states, &#8220;Lose 10 pounds in 30 days or your money back guaranteed.&#8221; There is no further information about the guarantee. This usually means they make you jump through a million hoops and you still don&#8217;t get your money back. There is no way to call the company; you can only email their customer service. We were not able to find any more information on the guarantee (or lack thereof).</p>
<h3>How much does LipoCut Hardcore cost?</h3>
<p>LipoCut Hardcore diet pills cost $29.95 for 120 capsules. If you take the recommended 6 capsules per day, you will spend $44.93 per month. There is a discount for purchasing in bulk.  </p>
<h3>LipoCut Hardcore Conclusion</h3>
<p>LipoCut Hardcore will likely help you lose weight. The lack of details about a guarantee, however, would lead me to believe that there are other diet pills that will give you better results. </p>

This Healthe´ Trim review details the ingredients contained in Healthe´ Trim and exposes the sketchy marketing tactics behind Healthe´ Trim.</p>
<h3>Healthe´ Trim Ingredients</h3>
<p><strong>Green Tea</strong> is an excellent diet pill ingredient. It has been proven to increase metabolism, leading to weight loss. Studies found green tea is effective when used in doses of 300 mg per day or more. Healthe´ Trim diet pills do not list how much green tea they contain.</p>
<p><strong>Hoodia Gordonii</strong> is supposed to be a miracle ingredient. Despite all the hype, there is absolutely NO scientific evidence to show that Hoodia Gordonii does anything for weight loss. Don&#8217;t be taken by the claim that Healthe´ Trim contains &#8220;real Hoodia.&#8221; Real Hoodia is no more effective than the fake stuff, not to mention they can&#8217;t prove that it is real.</p>
<p><strong>Caralluma Fimbriata</strong> is an ancient Indian cactus that is supposed to suppress the appetite. There is no scientific evidence to prove this.<br />
16 other important nutrients</p>
<p>
<p>10 Mg of <strong>Garcinia Cambogia</strong> has been shown to contribute to weight loss, but this amount is not nearly enough to be effective.</p>
<p>5 Mg of <strong>Hydroxycitric Acid</strong> has been proven to cause weight loss. However, in May 9, 2009, the FDA issued a warning about taking Hydroxycut products due to the possibility of liver damage. The FDA has not confirmed which ingredients could be to blame, but it is possible that  Hydroxycitric Acid (HCA) is to blame.</p>
<h3>Healthe´ Trim Marketing</h3>
<p>The Healthe´ Trim website is typical of many diet pill websites. It contains sensationalized testimonials and very little relevant information.</p>
<p>One of the main claims by Healthe´ Trim is that if you take Healthe´ Trim diet pills you don&#8217;t have to exercise or diet in order to lose weight. However, in another part of the website they state, &#8220;When used as part of a calorie controlled diet that includes moderate exercise, Healthe´ Trim will help promote fat oxidation and power your metabolism.&#8221;<br />
You cannot even find out how much Healthe´ Trim diet pills cost until you input your personal information on the website.</p>
<h3>Healthe´ Trim Guarantee</h3>
<p>Healthe´ Trim diet pills have a 30 day guarantee from the date of delivery. While we like that you can return open bottles, 30 days simply isn&#8217;t long enough to know whether or not a product will work. We would prefer a 90 day guarantee.</p>
<h3>Healthe´ Trim Cost</h3>
<p>Healthe´ Trim diet pills cost $54.95 for 60 capsules. If you take the maximum recommended of 4 capsules per day, one bottle will last 15 days. This is way too expensive for Healthe´ Trim considering it does not contain enough of the proven ingredients to be effective in causing weight loss.</p>
<h3>Healthe´ Trim Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Healthe´ Trim review finds Healthe´ Trim diet pills are simply a waste of your time and money. There is no evidence that Healthe´ Trim will actually cause weight loss. Their marketing strategies are sketchy and misleading. If you are really serious about losing weight, look for a diet pill that includes proven ingredients in the necessary amounts. Our recommended products are a great place to start looking.</p>

Don&#8217;t be taken by the claim that Healthe´ Trim contains &#8220;real Hoodia.&#8221; Real Hoodia is no more effective than the fake stuff, not to mention they can&#8217;t prove that it is real.</p>
<p><strong>Caralluma Fimbriata</strong> is an ancient Indian cactus that is supposed to suppress the appetite. There is no scientific evidence to prove this.<br />
16 other important nutrients</p>
<p>
<p>10 Mg of <strong>Garcinia Cambogia</strong> has been shown to contribute to weight loss, but this amount is not nearly enough to be effective.</p>
<p>5 Mg of <strong>Hydroxycitric Acid</strong> has been proven to cause weight loss. However, in May 9, 2009, the FDA issued a warning about taking Hydroxycut products due to the possibility of liver damage. The FDA has not confirmed which ingredients could be to blame, but it is possible that  Hydroxycitric Acid (HCA) is to blame.</p>
<h3>Healthe´ Trim Marketing</h3>
<p>The Healthe´ Trim website is typical of many diet pill websites. It contains sensationalized testimonials and very little relevant information.</p>
<p>One of the main claims by Healthe´ Trim is that if you take Healthe´ Trim diet pills you don&#8217;t have to exercise or diet in order to lose weight. However, in another part of the website they state, &#8220;When used as part of a calorie controlled diet that includes moderate exercise, Healthe´ Trim will help promote fat oxidation and power your metabolism.&#8221;<br />
You cannot even find out how much Healthe´ Trim diet pills cost until you input your personal information on the website.</p>
<h3>Healthe´ Trim Guarantee</h3>
<p>Healthe´ Trim diet pills have a 30 day guarantee from the date of delivery. While we like that you can return open bottles, 30 days simply isn&#8217;t long enough to know whether or not a product will work. We would prefer a 90 day guarantee.</p>
<h3>Healthe´ Trim Cost</h3>
<p>Healthe´ Trim diet pills cost $54.95 for 60 capsules. If you take the maximum recommended of 4 capsules per day, one bottle will last 15 days. This is way too expensive for Healthe´ Trim considering it does not contain enough of the proven ingredients to be effective in causing weight loss.</p>
<h3>Healthe´ Trim Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Healthe´ Trim review finds Healthe´ Trim diet pills are simply a waste of your time and money. There is no evidence that Healthe´ Trim will actually cause weight loss. Their marketing strategies are sketchy and misleading. If you are really serious about losing weight, look for a diet pill that includes proven ingredients in the necessary amounts. Our recommended products are a great place to start looking.</p>

<p>Trimball-EXP200 is a diet pill that will help you &#8220;eat 2, 3 or even up to 4 times less, as you will feel that your<br />
stomach is FULL. You will not experience any feelings of hunger. You will then automatically lose weight&#8221; (website).<br />
<br />This Trimball-EXP200 review will explain the details of Trimball-EXP200 diet pills as well as the companion product, Trimball-MET90.</p>
<h3>Trimball-EXP200 Ingredients</h3>
<p>Trimball-EXP200 contains only one ingredient, KMG-E425. This is also known as konjac glucomannan, or dietary fiber. Studies have shown that glucomannan can significantly contribute to weight loss, but only when used in doses of 2-4 grams per day. Trimball-EXP200 fails to mention how much glucomannan is contained in the capsules.</p>
<p> We asked a customer service representative about the amount of glucomannan, but she was unable to tell us. It is extremely unlikely that you will get enough glucomannan in Trimball-EXP200 to cause weight loss.</p>
<h3>Trimball-MET90 Ingredients</h3>
<p>According to their website and customer service, Trimball-MET90 contains one ingredient, which is a 100% natural metabolism booster. The customer service representative said the ingredient is green tea.<br />
<br />Green tea is an excellent diet pill ingredient; it makes me wonder why they don&#8217;t just say that the ingredient is green tea.<br />
<br />Again, the customer service representative could not tell me how much green tea Trimball-MET90 diet pills contain.  Therefore, there is no way of knowing if the green tea in Trimball-MET90 will cause weight loss or boost metabolism.</p>
<h3>Trimball-EXP200 Guarantee</h3>
<p>The Trimball website states, &#8220;If you do not lose 5 to 7 pounds per week during the first month and 3 to 5 pounds per week during the following months, or if for any other reasons you are not 100% satisfied with the Trimball-EXP200 weight-loss plan, just return the remaining capsules to immediately receive a full refund including shipping costs. No questions asked. No conditions.&#8221;<br />
<br />The customer service representative gave me this same information. It is unusual to see a guarantee this good. It makes me wonder if there is a catch, although the company does not admit to one.</p>
<h3>Trimball-EXP200 Cost</h3>
<p>The cost of Trimball-EXP200 depends on how many capsules you buy. The website says you should buy more (and take more) if you want to lose more weight. The price ranges from $39-$99 per month, depending on how many capsules you order. If you spend $69 or more you get Trimball-MET90 for free.<br />
<br />This Trimball-EXP200 review finds this price is way too expensive for this product. There is no reason to believe you will lose weight by using Trimball-EXP200; the company can&#8217;t even tell you how much of each ingredient is contained in their products. </p>
<h3>Trimball-EXP200 Customer Service</h3>
<p>Because the Trimball-EXP200 website is so vague, I called their customer service line. I got the exact same information as was given on the website. Not only that, the customer service representative I spoke with spoke very little English and couldn&#8217;t understand some of my questions. When she did understand she could not give me the information I wanted.</p>
<h3>Trimball-EXP200 Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Trimball-EXP200 review finds Trimball-EXP200 and Trimball-MET90 could cause weight loss. However, the company fails to list how much of each ingredient is included, so there is no way of knowing if the products will be effective. Don&#8217;t gamble on your weight loss. Use a product that discloses the amounts of their ingredients. Look through our list of recommended products to find one that will work for you.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=boda extract 3"><img src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/boda1.jpg" alt="boda1" title="boda1" width="115" height="150" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1167" /></a>Today I&#8217;ll be looking at a brand new diet pill to hit the market called <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=boda extract 3">Boda Extract No. 3</a>.  </p>
<p>At first glance it actually looks quite promising.  According to <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=boda extract 3">their website</a>, Boda &#8220;will help you burn fat and increase lean muscle mass guaranteed!&#8221;  They also claim that you can &#8220;lose 20% body in 12 weeks.&#8221;  So how does Boda Extract No. 3 live up to these claims?  Read on to find out.</p>
<h2>Boda Extract No. 3 Ingredients</h2>
<p>The only ingredient that <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=boda extract 3">Boda</a> lists on the website is <strong>Conjugated Linoleic Acid</strong>, also known as CLA. You can see my <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/tonalin-review/">full review of CLA</a> if you&#8217;d like, but the here it is in a nutshell:  CLA has been the subject of many clinical studies and the results are quite promising.  It has been shown to reduce body fat and preserve lean muscle.  </p>
<p>CLA is a good diet pill ingredient and I like that Boda Extract No. 3 includes it.  Would Boda benefit from having a few other ingredients in the mix? Probably.</p>
<h2>The Boda Website</h2>
<p>The Boda website is very clean, professional, and well done.  It&#8217;s definitely a bit of a breath of fresh air when compared to so many other diet pills&#8217; sites that feel like a constant high-pressure sales pitch.  </p>
<p>They provide a pretty good amount of information.  I especially like that have a page dedicated to the research that supports CLA as a viable diet pill ingredient.  While they don&#8217;t site the specific study in a way that&#8217;s easy for you to verify, they do cite the institution who performed the study so it wouldn&#8217;t be too hard for someone to find it if they wished to do so.</p>
<h2>The Boda Autoship</h2>
<p>I&#8217;m usually one to harp on companies that use autoship programs to sell their product.  This isn&#8217;t case, however, with Boda.  Most companies hide the autoship in their fine print, taking the consumer by surprise.  Boda, on the other hand is very clear and forthcoming about the autoship options.  What&#8217;s more, they give you the option of buying with the autoship (for a small discount) or buying the product outright.  I like this.   </p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=boda extract 3">Boda</a> makes it very obvious what your options are when purchasing it.  For that reason, I see no red flags with their autoship as the consumer should be well aware of what they are getting into if they choose to go the autoship route. </p>
<h2>Boda&#8217;s Free Trial Website</h2>
<p>Boda is also apparently using a website that offers a free trial of the product.  I must admit, at first I was ready to pounce on this usually scam-like sales tactic.  But again, I was pleased to find that they disclose very well and clearly the fact that you are enrolling in an autoship if you choose to get the free trial.  They even go as far as to tell you the date (in bold) that you will be charged for the supply if you don&#8217;t call and cancel.  This kind of clarity and honesty is rarely seen on similar sites.</p>
<h2>Boda&#8217;s BBB Rating</h3>
<p>Since the Boda Extract No. 3 website mentioned that they were accredited by the Better Business Bureau, I decided to check it out.  Sure enough, Boda Botanicals Inc. is a BBB accredited business.  The BBB gives explanation of a BBB accreditation:</p>
<blockquote><p>If a business has been accredited by BBB, it means BBB has determined that the business meets BBB accreditation standards, which include a commitment to make a good faith effort to resolve any consumer complaints. BBB Accredited Businesses pay a fee for accreditation review/monitoring and for support of BBB services to the public.</p></blockquote>
<p>In addition, the BBB gave them an A- rating.  This is a <strong>very favorable</strong> rating, given the industry.  </p>
<h2>Boda&#8217;s Price</h2>
<p>A one month supply of <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=boda extract 3">Boda Extract No. 3</a> is $49 (or $39 if you choose to use the autoship option).  A 3 month supply is $132 ($102 w/ autoship) and a 6 month supply is $234 ($174 w/ autoship).  This is a very reasonable price for diet pill.  </p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>All things considered I&#8217;m fairly impressed with Boda Extract No. 3.  Their marketing isn&#8217;t deceitful, and the company appears to be an upstanding company.  The price is also quite reasonable.  The active ingredient in Boda is CLA, which has been shown to effective at lowering body fat and increasing lean muscle mass.  <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=boda extract 3">Boda Extract No. 3</a> gets a thumbs up!</p>

<p>Weightloss 16 is a diet pill that claims to cause:<br />
 &#8220;-Unbelievable energy<br />
- Proven appetite suppression<br />
 -Noticeable, weight loss and size loss or your money back.<br />
- Improved mental clarity and concentration during that &#8216;after lunchtime&#8217; crash&#8221; (website).<br />
This Weightloss 16 review will explore the ingredients contained in Weightloss 16 diet pills and help you realize what you can (or cannot) expect from this product.</p>
<h3>Weightloss 16 Ingredients</h3>
<p>Chromium Polynicotinate has shown varying results in clinical trials.</p>
<p>Vitamin B12 is important to good health, but it does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Caffeine increases metabolic rate, leading to weight loss. However, Weightloss 16 fails to disclose how much caffeine it contains. Therefore, it is impossible to know if Weightloss 16 contains enough caffeine to cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Xanthinol Nicotinate has not been shown to cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Inositol Hexaniacinate helps transport fats from the liver; it has not been proven to directly contribute to weight loss. Inositol is used to treat Panic Disorder, ADD, and Depression.</p>
<p>Green tea causes weight loss when used in doses of 300 mg or more per day. Again, Weightloss 16 does not say how much green tea is contained in each serving.</p>
<p>Bitter orange (citrus aurantium) is an excellent diet pill ingredient. The important thing to note with citrus aurantium is the concentration it contains&#8211;the higher the concentration the better. There is no indication of the concentration of citrus aurantium in Weightloss 16.</p>
<p>Brown seaweed extract is an antioxidant, but it has not been proven to cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Enzyme blend containing:</p>
<p>Acid Protease</p>
<p>Amylase</p>
<p>Cellulose</p>
<p>Glucoamylase</p>
<p>Lactase</p>
<p>Lipase</p>
<p>Bromelain is an anti-inflammatory; it does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Lactobacillus Acidophilus</p>
<h3>Weightloss 16 Cost</h3>
<p>Weightloss 16 diet pills cost $15.95 per month. This is quite inexpensive as diet pills go. However, since Weightloss 16 contains only a few proven ingredients, and since the amounts of these ingredients is undisclosed, there is no way of knowing if Weightloss 16 will help you lose weight. Therefore, this Weightloss 16 review finds that any amount is too much to pay for Weightloss 16 diet pills.</p>
<h3>Weightloss 16 Guarantee</h3>
<p>Weightloss 16 claims to have a &#8220;100% NO QUESTIONS ASKED LIFETIME Money-Back Guarantee&#8221; (website). Unfortunately, there are no details given about the guarantee. This is quite common with diet pills. It usually means there is a lot of fine print they don&#8217;t want customers to know about.</p>
<h3>Weightloss 16 Website</h3>
<p>Weightloss 16 has a very unprofessional website. There was obviously very little time or money put into this site. In addition, the website is vague about the ingredients, dosage directions, and possible side effects associated with Weightloss 16. </p>
<p>There are several testimonials on the Weightloss 16 website. The before and after photos are low quality, and it is hard to tell if it is the same person in both photos.</p>
<h3>Weightloss 16 Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Weightloss 16 review finds that Weightloss 16 is not worth your time or money. There is no evidence to show Weightloss 16 actually contributes to weight loss. Do yourself a favor and use one of our recommended products; they contain proven ingredients in the necessary amounts.</p>

<p>Weightloss 16 is a diet pill that claims to cause:<br />
 &#8220;-Unbelievable energy<br />
- Proven appetite suppression<br />
 -Noticeable, weight loss and size loss or your money back.<br />
- Improved mental clarity and concentration during that &#8216;after lunchtime&#8217; crash&#8221; (website).<br />
This Weightloss 16 review will explore the ingredients contained in Weightloss 16 diet pills and help you realize what you can (or cannot) expect from this product.</p>
<h3>Weightloss 16 Ingredients</h3>
<p>Chromium Polynicotinate has shown varying results in clinical trials.</p>
<p>Vitamin B12 is important to good health, but it does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Caffeine increases metabolic rate, leading to weight loss. However, Weightloss 16 fails to disclose how much caffeine it contains. Therefore, it is impossible to know if Weightloss 16 contains enough caffeine to cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Xanthinol Nicotinate has not been shown to cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Inositol Hexaniacinate helps transport fats from the liver; it has not been proven to directly contribute to weight loss. Inositol is used to treat Panic Disorder, ADD, and Depression.</p>
<p>Green tea causes weight loss when used in doses of 300 mg or more per day. Again, Weightloss 16 does not say how much green tea is contained in each serving.</p>
<p>Bitter orange (citrus aurantium) is an excellent diet pill ingredient. The important thing to note with citrus aurantium is the concentration it contains&#8211;the higher the concentration the better. There is no indication of the concentration of citrus aurantium in Weightloss 16.</p>
<p>Brown seaweed extract is an antioxidant, but it has not been proven to cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Enzyme blend containing:</p>
<p>Acid Protease</p>
<p>Amylase</p>
<p>Cellulose</p>
<p>Glucoamylase</p>
<p>Lactase</p>
<p>Lipase</p>
<p>Bromelain is an anti-inflammatory; it does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Lactobacillus Acidophilus</p>

This patented, proven formulation produces phenomenal results. You&#8217;ll love what it does for you&#8221; (website). However, there is NO proof that 1Slim1 actually does anything for weight loss. This 1Slim1 review shows 1Slim1 is nothing more than a waste of your time and money.</p>
<h3>1Slim1 Ingredients</h3>
<p>According to their website, 1Slim1 contains the following ingredients:<br />
Garcinia<br />
Pyruvate<br />
L-Carnitine<br />
Aspartic Acid<br />
Biotin<br />
Chromium Picolinate</p>
<p>Garcinia Cambogia contains Hydroxycitric Acid (HCA), which has been proven to contribute to weight loss. Unfortunately, 1Slim1 fails to list how much Garcinia Cambogia it contains.</p>
<p>Pyruvate has been proven to contribute to weight loss, but only when taken in EXTREMELY high amounts (studies have shown you have to take 36 grams per day to cause weight loss). Therefore, to get enough Pyruvate to cause weight loss you would have to take dozens of 1Slim1 pills each day. DO NOT take more than the recommended dosage of 1Slim1.</p>
<p>Although diet pill companies make bold claims about L-Carnitine, there is NO scientific evidence proving it actually contributes to weight loss.</p>
<p>Biotin is simply another name for Vitamin B7; there is no reason to believe Biotin will actually contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Studies have shown conflicting results on the effects of Chromium Picolinate on weight loss. In addition, chances are your body makes plenty of Chromium Picolinate, and supplementing with it will not have any effect.</p>
<p>Therefore, the only 1Slim1 ingredient that could realistically contribute to weight loss is Garcinia Cambogia, but 1Slim1 does not disclose how much it contains.</p>
<h3>1Slim1 Guarantee</h3>
<p>1Slim1 claims to have a guarantee, but the truth is it isn&#8217;t much of a guarantee. Returns are accepted only on unopened bottles. In addition, there is a $7.50 restocking fee.</p>
<h3>1Slim1 Cost</h3>
<p>1Slim1 costs $69.95 for one month; this includes a one month supply of pills as well as membership in the Slim Living program. This is fairly expensive for a diet pill, especially considering 1Slim1 hides how much of the one proven ingredient is included.</p>
<h3>1Slim1 and Slim Living Program</h3>
<p>The Slim Living Program is an online weight loss program. You have an online instructor as well as a course manual and quizzes. According to the 1Slim1 website, the Slim Living Program, &#8220;helps you in accomplishing goals such as quitting smoking, improving self esteem, developing muscle, improving cardiovascular stamina and of course losing weight become a reality.&#8221; </p>
<h3>Fake &#8220;Progress&#8221; Photos</h3>
<p>I just wanted to point out the painfully obvious fact that the images of the male and female at the top right of the page that are supposedly of them losing weight over a 6 month period are simply edited versions of the same photo.  They&#8217;re wearing the same exact clothes (with the same wrinkles) in the same same exact stance.  If you look, there isn&#8217;t one hair on the womans head that is in a different position.  And we&#8217;re supposed to believe that these were different photos taken 6 months apart? Please.</p>
<h3>1Slim1 Affiliate Program</h3>
<p>1Slim1 has an Affiliate Program. Basically, if you can get other people to join, you get commission on everything they buy. So, if you can con your friends and family into buying 1Slim1, you can make some money.</p>
<h3>1Slim1 Conclusion</h3>
<p>This 1Slim1 review finds 1Slim1 is a waste of money. There is no reason to believe 1Slim1 diet pills will do anything for weight loss. In addition, the Slim Living Program is a joke. You can get the same information for free online. Don&#8217;t bother with 1Slim1. If you are really serious about losing weight, check out our recommended products; they include proven ingredients in the necessary amounts.</p>

<p>Sensa is a weight loss approach that supposedly enhances your sense of smell to help you lose weight. Sensa makes big claims and supposedly has research to back up these claims, but when you look further, you realize how absurd most of their claims are. This Sensa review finds Sensa is nothing more than another weight loss gimmick out to get your money.</p>
<h3>What is Sensa?</h3>
<p>The Sensa website goes through a lengthy scientific explanation of what Sensa is. The long and short of it is Sensa is a powder (which they call a &#8220;Tastant&#8221;) you sprinkle on your food (similar to salt). It is supposed to enhance your sense of smell to suppress appetite. You are supposed to switch to a new Tastant every month to continue losing weight. Sounds a little far fetched doesn&#8217;t it? The website fails to say what is in Sensa, only that it is a patented formula.</p>
<h3>Sensa Price</h3>
<p>You have two options when buying Sensa:<br />
1. You can buy a &#8220;6-month Starter Kit&#8221; for $235.<br />
2. You can sign up for autoship for $33 per month with a 6 month commitment (they automatically send you more each month and charge your credit card).</p>
<p>Either way, they have you locked in for 6 months. This is just a sneaky way of getting a lot of money out of you. You can&#8217;t just buy a one month supply and try it out.</p>
<h3>Sensa Affiliate Program</h3>
<p>Sensa has an Affiliate Program you can sign up for. Basically, Sensa is a multi level (pyramid) scheme; they give you commission if you get other people to sign up. This is becoming common with shady diet products. Don&#8217;t fall prey to their scheme.</p>
<h3>How Is Sensa to be Used?</h3>
<p>The Sensa website states the following:<br />
&#8220;The amount of Tastants depends on how large your meal is, so just use your best judgment and don’t over think it.&#8221; I don&#8217;t know about you, but if I am paying $235 for a product, I want to know exactly how to use it so it will be most effective. Why can&#8217;t they tell you how much to put on? Probably because it doesn&#8217;t matter&#8211;it won&#8217;t work no matter how much you put on.<br />
Also, you are supposed to start using a new package of the Tastants each month because they supposedly are different and your body can build a tolerance to them. The Sensa website explains:<br />
&#8220;Depending on how much you eat, you may have extra Tastants at the end of the month. You would still move to the next month’s Tastants. This is because your body can become accustomed to the Tastants and will not be as effective if you use them for longer than 30 days.&#8221; Here is just one more way they can get more money out of you&#8211;they tell you to throw away some of the product so you have to use more.<br />
The website also says that after the first 6 months you should start over with month 1. This completely contradicts what they say about throwing away any leftover product after a month. If it is less effective after the first month, why would they tell you to start over with the same formulation in month 7? It just doesn&#8217;t make sense.</p>
<h3>Sensa Research</h3>
<p>The Sensa website claims research done on Sensa showed participants who used Sensa lost an average of over 30 pounds. However, there was no measurement of how much Sensa these participants used. And, since, according to the Sensa website, you can use as much as you see fit, there is no way to prove that the weight participants lost was actually due to Sensa and not to other possible factors (exercise, diet, metabolism, other diet products, etc).</p>
<h3>Sensa Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Sensa review finds there is no reason to believe Sensa will contribute to weight loss. The supposed research is just not scientific; they did not measure how much Sensa was used. This product is way too expensive. Don&#8217;t waste your time or money on Sensa.</p>

Although Phentramine does contain some proven ingredients, the amount of each ingredient included is not disclosed. Phentramine comes in both tablets and capsules; they contain different ingredients. This Phentramine review will focus on Phentramine capsules.</p>
<h3>Hydroxycitric Acid Update</h3>
<p>On May 1, 2009 the FDA issued a warning to consumers to stop taking Hydroxycut-branded products.  Over more than 7 years they have received 23 reports of health related issues with those taking Hydroxycut-branded products.  The main health concern appears to be serious liver-related problems.  Iovate Health Sciences Inc., the makers of Hydroxcut, have voluntarily recalled all of the products under question in the FDA&#8217;s report</p>
<p>Common symptoms of liver complications include:</p>
<ul>
<li>jaundice (yellowing of the skin)</li>
<li>brown urine</li>
<li>light colored stools</li>
<li>unusual tiredness</li>
<li>stomach pain</li>
<li>itching</li>
<li>loss of appetite</li>
<li>weakness</li>
<li>vomiting</li>
</ul>
<p>In light of the recent FDA warning concerning the possible dangers of Hydroxycut-branded diet pills, many believe that the associated health risks are likely due to the inclusion of the commonly used ingredient Hydroxycitric Acid, or HCA. And while according to the FDA, &#8220;The agency has not yet determined which ingredients, dosages, or other health-related factors may be associated with risks related to these Hydroxycut products. The products contain a variety of ingredients and herbal extracts.&#8221; you can never be too cautious.  </p>
<p>So, while further study and research is needed to confirm the link between HCA and the liver problems, until proven otherwise <strong>any products that contain HCA are no longer recommended on this website.</strong> </p>
<h3>Phentramine Ingredients</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2007/hoodia-gordonii/">Hoodia Gordonii</a> (800 mg), despite being endorsed by various celebrities, has not been proven to contribute to weight loss; it is just another fad diet pill ingredient with nothing to back it.<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/carnitine-review/">L-Carnitine</a> (25 mg) has not been proven to contribute to weight loss.<br />
L-Taurine (25 mcg) is supposed to increase energy, but research has yet to prove it.<br />
Folic acid (600 mcg) is important to health, but it does nothing for weight loss.<br />
Phentarmine proprietary blend (828 mg)<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guarana-yeba-mate-and-damiana-gyd-review/">Guarana</a> has been shown to contribute to weight loss but only when combined with Yerba Mate and Damiana. Phentramine capsules contain Yerba Mate but not Damiana. Thus, this Phentramine review finds the Guarana in Phentramine capsules will not cause weight loss.<br />
Yerba Mate has been shown to contribute to weight loss but only when combined with Guarana and Damiana. Phentramine capsules contain Guarana but not Damiana.<br />
Citrus Aurantium contains Synephrine, a power player when it comes to diet pill ingredients. Synephrine is a proven ingredient, but only when it is included in a high concentration. Unfortunately, Phentramine does not say the concentration of <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/">Synephrine</a> it contains, so there is no way of knowing if it will be effective.<br />
 <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/">Green Tea</a> has been proven to contribute to weight loss when used in doses of 300 mg or more per day. Again, Phentramine hides how much green tea is contained in the capsules.<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/garcinia-cambogia-review/">Garcinia Cambogia</a> contains HCA, which has been shown to contribute to weight loss.<br />
Cayenne does nothing for weight loss.<br />
Korean Ginseng<br />
Gynemma Sylvestre helps control blood sugar levels, which can lead to weight loss.<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/7-keto-review/">7-Keto</a> (DHEA) causes weight loss when used in doses of 100 mg or more per day. </p>
<p>Phentramine capsules contain some of the best diet pill ingredients. However, since Phentramine fails to list how much of each ingredient is included, there is no way of knowing if there is enough to cause weight loss. Usually this means the manufacturer has included only trace amounts of the proven ingredients (because they are expensive) but does not want the customer to know this. Thus, this Phentramine review finds Phentramine capsules might cause weight loss, but it is not worth the gamble.</p>
<h3>Phentramine Cost</h3>
<p>Phentramine capsules cost $69 on the Phentramine website  for a one month supply. They want you to think you are getting a great discount off the regular price of $109. Even the $69 price is too much to pay for Phentramine capsules. There is a possibility that Phentramine capsules will work, but $69 is a lot to pay for a possibility.</p>
<h3>Phentramine Guarantee</h3>
<p>The Phentramine website says Phentramine is &#8220;100% Quality Satisfaction Guaranteed&#8221;. This is very misleading because the fine print says:<br />
&#8220;There are NO Refunds after an order has been shipped. This is non-negotiable and indisputable within the terms and agreement accepted before final purchase&#8221; (website).<br />
Thus, they are misleading people into thinking they can get a refund when the truth is hidden in the fine print.</p>
<h3>Phentramine Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Phentramine review finds that Phentramine capsules contain some proven ingredients. However, the amounts of these ingredients remain hidden, making it impossible to know if Phentramine capsules will actually cause weight loss. This, combined with the misleading guarantee, keeps us from recommending Phentramine capsules.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/phentarmine1.jpg" alt="phentarmine1" title="phentarmine1" width="100" height="100" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-989" />Phentarmine is a diet pill trying to compete with prescription Phentermine, which has been shown to cause weight loss. Although Phentramine does contain some proven ingredients, the amount of each ingredient included is not disclosed. Phentramine comes in both tablets and capsules; they contain different ingredients. This Phentramine review will focus on Phentramine capsules.</p>
<h3>Hydroxycitric Acid Update</h3>
<p>On May 1, 2009 the FDA issued a warning to consumers to stop taking Hydroxycut-branded products.  Over more than 7 years they have received 23 reports of health related issues with those taking Hydroxycut-branded products.  The main health concern appears to be serious liver-related problems.  Iovate Health Sciences Inc., the makers of Hydroxcut, have voluntarily recalled all of the products under question in the FDA&#8217;s report</p>
<p>Common symptoms of liver complications include:</p>
<ul>
<li>jaundice (yellowing of the skin)</li>
<li>brown urine</li>
<li>light colored stools</li>
<li>unusual tiredness</li>
<li>stomach pain</li>
<li>itching</li>
<li>loss of appetite</li>
<li>weakness</li>
<li>vomiting</li>
</ul>
<p>In light of the recent FDA warning concerning the possible dangers of Hydroxycut-branded diet pills, many believe that the associated health risks are likely due to the inclusion of the commonly used ingredient Hydroxycitric Acid, or HCA. And while according to the FDA, &#8220;The agency has not yet determined which ingredients, dosages, or other health-related factors may be associated with risks related to these Hydroxycut products. The products contain a variety of ingredients and herbal extracts.&#8221; you can never be too cautious.  </p>
<p>So, while further study and research is needed to confirm the link between HCA and the liver problems, until proven otherwise <strong>any products that contain HCA are no longer recommended on this website.</strong> </p>
<h3>Phentramine Ingredients</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2007/hoodia-gordonii/">Hoodia Gordonii</a> (800 mg), despite being endorsed by various celebrities, has not been proven to contribute to weight loss; it is just another fad diet pill ingredient with nothing to back it.<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/carnitine-review/">L-Carnitine</a> (25 mg) has not been proven to contribute to weight loss.<br />
L-Taurine (25 mcg) is supposed to increase energy, but research has yet to prove it.<br />
Folic acid (600 mcg) is important to health, but it does nothing for weight loss.<br />
Phentarmine proprietary blend (828 mg)<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guarana-yeba-mate-and-damiana-gyd-review/">Guarana</a> has been shown to contribute to weight loss but only when combined with Yerba Mate and Damiana.

<p>Phentarmine is a diet pill trying to pose as an equal to Phentermine (a prescription weight loss medication with excellent results). Don&#8217;t be fooled; Phentarmine is NOT the same as Phentermine and has not been proven to cause weight loss. This Phentarmine review will explain the ingredients contained in Phentarmine diet pills and will help you see if this is the right product for you. Phentramine comes in tablets and capsules, each with different ingredients. Thus, this Phentramine review will detail only the Phentramine tablet.</p>
<h3>Phentarmine Ingredients</h3>
<p>Phentarmine proprietary blend (532 mg)<br />
L-Phenylalanine is a feel good ingredient. There is no research to show Phenylalanine actually causes weight loss.<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/">Synephrine HCL</a> has been shown to contribute to weight loss. The important thing to note with Synephrine is the concentration&#8211;the higher the concentration the more effective it is. Since Phentarmine fails to list the concentration of Synephrine it contains, there is no way of knowing if the Synephrine in Phentarmine is enough to cause weight loss.<br />
Theobromine is another mood enhancer; it does not contribute to weight loss.<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/caffeine-anhydrous-review/">Caffeine Anhydrous </a>is simply dehydrated caffeine. Caffeine increases metabolic rate, leading to weight loss. However, Phentarmine dies not list how much caffeine anhydrous it contains.<br />
Copper Sulfate<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/7-keto-review/">7-Keto</a> (DHEA) contributes to weight loss when used in doses of 100 mg or more per day. Phentarmine does not say how much 7-Keto it contains, but it is extremely unlikely that Phentarmine contains enough 7-Keto to be effective in causing weight loss.<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/carnitine-review/">L-Carnitine</a> has not been proven to contribute to weight loss.<br />
L-Taurine is supposed to increase energy, but research does not prove it.</p>
<p>You will notice Phentarmine does include several great, proven diet pill ingredients. Unfortunately, Phentarmine fails to list how much of each ingredient is included so it is impossible to determine how effective it will be.</p>
<h3>Phentarmine Cost</h3>
<p>Phentarmine tablets cost $89.95 for a one month supply (which is supposedly a great deal from the regular price of $159). This is way too much for a diet pill, not to mention a diet pill that does not list how much of each ingredient it includes.</p>
<h3>Phentarmine Marketing</h3>
<p>The Phentarmine website tries to make it seem that Phentarmine is equal to Phentermine. Don&#8217;t be fooled by their lofty claims; there is NO scientific research to show Phentarmine contributes to weight loss.</p>
<h3>Phentarmine Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Phentarmine review finds Phentarmine tablets contain some great ingredients, but since the amounts are not listed, there is no way of knowing if they will work. Phentarmine tablets are way too expensive. Save yourself some time and money by taking a diet pill that includes proven ingredients in proven amounts.</p>
