			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="30px;" align="left"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-657" title="7-dfbx" src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/7-dfbx.jpg" alt="" width="82" height="150" />7-DFBX is a diet pill that claims, &#8220;Buy 7-DFBX Today   and be 7, 10, 14, Even up to   21   POUNDS   Skinnier in 7 Days!!&#8221; (website) This 7-DFBX review will explain the ingredients in 7-DFBX as well as determine what validity (if any) there is in the claims about 7-DFBX.</p>
<h3>7-DFBX Ingredients</h3>
<p style="30px;" align="left"><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/caffeine-anhydrous-review/" >Caffeine Anyhdrous </a>is just regular caffeine. It has been shown to contribute to weight loss.<br />
<span class="style24">Potassium Gluconate has healthy benefits but has not been shown to contribute to weight loss.</span><br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/" >Chromium Polynicotinate</a> has been shown to contribute to weight loss by some studies, but not by others.<br />
<span class="style24">Psyllium Husk </span><br />
<span class="style42">Oat Bran Fiber </span><br />
<span class="style24">Barley Rice Fiber </span><br />
<span class="style42">Apple Pectin </span><br />
<span class="style24">Fennel Seed</span><br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/glucomannan-review/" >Glucomannan</a><span class="style42"> (267 mg) </span>is a dietary fiber which is supposed to make users feel full. Studies have shown glucomannan to be effective when used at a dose of 2-4 g per day. Thus, this 7-DFBX review finds there is not enough glucomannan in 7-DFBX diet pills to be effective.<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/flaxseed-review/" ><span class='style24'>Flax seed powder </span></a><br />
<span class="style42">Dandelion Root </span><br />
<span class="style24">Uva Ursi</span> is used to treat headaches and bladder infections. There is evidence that a drug interaction is possible when Uva Ursi is combined with diuretics (like Buchu, Juniper, parsley, and mint leaf).<br />
<span class="style42">Cranberry </span><br />
<span class="style24">Buchu Leaves 4:1is a diuretic.</span><br />
<span class="style42">Alfalfa </span><br />
<span class="style24">Juniper Berries is a diuretic.</span><br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/garlic-review/" >Garlic</a><span class="style24"> 100:1 </span><br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/ginger-review-is-ginger-effective-in-diet-pills/" >Ginger Root</a><br />
<span class="style24">Parsley is a diuretic.</span><br />
Goldenseal<br />
<span class="style24">Mint leaf is a diuretic.</span><br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/raspberry-ketone-review-effectiveness-of-raspberry-ketone-in-weight-loss/" >Red Raspberry</a> Leaf<br />
<span class="style24">Lemon Peel </span><br />
Hawthorn Berries<br />
<span class="style24">Red Clover Leaf </span><br />
Burdock Root<br />
<span class="style24">Irish Moss</span><br />
Aloe Vera<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/cayenne-review/" ><span class='style24'>Cayenne Pepper </span></a><br />
Sage<br />
<span class="style24">Noni </span><br />
Mangosteen<br />
<span class="style24">Pomegranate </span><br />
Apple Cider Vinegar<br />
<span class="style24">Grapefruit Seed </span></p>
<p style="30px;" align="left">7-DFBX is a diuretic (it rids your body of water). So, you might see a little weight loss from using 7-DFBX diet pills, but you will probably be on the toilet a lot. Don&#8217;t count on keeping the weight off either.</p>
<h3>7-DFBX Cost</h3>
<p style="30px;" align="left">7-DFBX costs $19.99 per bottle (for a one week supply). This is very expensive, considering there is no evidence to show that 7-DFBX actually works.</p>
<h3>7-DFBX Guarantee</h3>
<p style="30px;" align="left"><span class="style44">The 7-DFBX website says, &#8220;If you are not satisfied with our product, please return the empty bottle to receive full refund less S&amp;H. If you purchased more than 1 bottle, all other bottles MUST be in unopend, unused, and resellable condition.&#8221; This seems like a pretty good guarantee, although they do not specify how much time you have to return the product for a refund.<br />
</span></p>
<h3>7-DFBX Claims</h3>
<p style="30px;" align="left">7-DFBX claims you can lose up to 21 pounds in one week by taking 7-DFBX diet pills. Anything that promises more than about a pound a day should be questioned. If you do happen to lose some weight when taking 7-DFBX, you won&#8217;t keep the weight off. 7-DFBX does warn to take a week off in between bottles.</p>
<h3>7-DFBX Conclusion</h3>
<p style="30px;" align="left">This 7-DFBX review finds this product is not worth your money. You might experience some weight loss from 7-DFBX, but only because you will be stuck on the toilet. There are more comfortable and more lasting ways to lose weight. Check out our recommended products. They contain proven ingredients in correct amounts.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-439" title="slimshot" src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/slimshot.jpg" alt="slimshot review" width="198" height="173" />Slimshot, a product of the United Kingdom, is &#8220;The new unique effervescent slimming drink that is clinically proven to help you lose weight.&#8221; (website) Slimshot combines three combinations of diet supplements in drink form. Slimshot is supposed to block fat absorption, eliminate fat, and burn fat. This Slimshot review will expose the truth behind these claims to show what you can really<br />
expect from Slimshot.</p>
<h3>Slimshot Ingredients</h3>
<p>Slimshot Morning</p>
<p>Acidfier: citric acid;<br />
Sweetener: sorbitol;<br />
Acidity corrector: sodium acid carbonate;<br />
Citrus fruit flavouring: maltodextrin; Medium: polyethylene glycol; vitamins C, E, B3;<br />
Extracts: green coffee, olive wood, ash wood cola, mate, cynorhodon, wild pansy, cherry stalk, meadow-sweet, <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >green tea</a>;<br />
Sweetener: saccharine; vitamins B5, B6, B1, B2, B12, B9, B8.</p>
<p>Slimshot Noon</p>
<p>Acidfier: citric acid;<br />
Acidity corrector: sodium acid carbonate;<br />
Sweetener: sorbitol; apple and citrus pectins; guar gum; cider vinegar; maltodextrin; apple flavouring; Medium: polyethylene glycol; Sweetener: saccharine; colouring agent; caramel; anticaking agent: silicon dioxide;<br />
Colouring agent: riboflavin.</p>
<p>Slimshot Night</p>
<p>Acidifier: citric acid;<br />
Sweetener: sorbitol;<br />
Acidity corrector: sodium acid carbonate; soft fruit flavouring; maltodextrin;<br />
Medium: polyethylene glycol; extracts of: pineapple, cocoa, orange skin, papaya, grape marc;<br />
Sweetener: aspartame; lactose; mineral: chromium chloride; Emulsifier: soya lecithin.</p>
<p>A clinical study found that green coffee extract was successful in inhibiting weight gain. However, this study was done on mice. Until studies are done on humans, it is impossible to know exactly how effective green coffee extract is in weight loss.</p>
<p>Green tea is a scientifically proven ingredient that increases metabolic function, leading to weight loss. However, Slimshot fails to disclose how much green tea it contains; therefore, it is impossible for this Slimshot review to determine the effectiveness of green tea in Slimshot (as usual).</p>
<p>The remaining lengthy list of ingredients is comprised of ingredients that have not been proven to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<h3>Side effects of Slimshot</h3>
<p>Side effects of Slimshot include increased bowel movements.</p>
<h3>Slimshot Guarantee</h3>
<p>The Slimshot website states the following,</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;If you are unhappy with your purchase for any reason, you may return it to us within 14 days for a full refund exclusive shipping cost. No returns will be accepted if post marked later than 14 days following the receipt of your shipment. The customer is responsible for all return shipping costs. We will not accept packages with postage due. Requests for replacements or refunds will be processed promptly upon receipt of your returned package.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>We really believe companies should give at least 60 days for customers to return unwanted products; this guarantee simply is not good enough.  By the time you know the product isn&#8217;t working, it&#8217;s too late to return the dumb thing.</p>
<h3>Slimshot Cost</h3>
<p>Because Slimshot is made by a British company, their website lists prices in British Punds. A two week supply of Slimshot costs 16.99 in British Pounds ($33.28 US at the time this article was written). This is very expensive for a diet supplement, especially since they only include one ingredient (green tea)<br />
that has been proven to contribute to weight loss (and they don&#8217;t disclose how much of it is included).</p>
<h3>Slimshot Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Slimshot review finds that Slimshot is really no different from countless other diet supplements. They do not disclose how much of each ingredient is included, and they only include one proven ingredient. Go with a product that is honest about <strong>what</strong> it contains and <strong>how much</strong> it contains.</p>
