			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/colvera.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-526" title="colvera" src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/colvera.jpg" alt="colvera" width="84" height="128" /></a>Colvera is &#8220;an all natural weight loss system that is designed to help your body process proteins effectively and help you build lean muscle naturally&#8221; (website).<br />
This Colvera review will detail each Colvera ingredient and dissect Colvera&#8217;s claims to let you know what you can expect from Colvera diet pills.</p>
<h2>Colvera Ingredients</h2>
<p>Collagen Hydrolysate (Protein) is an ingredient used commonly by diet pill companies who claim collagen will reduce body fat. There is no research to back up these claims.<br />
Aloe Vera is sometimes used as a mild laxative. It helps in colon cleansing. However, it has not been<br />
proven to directly contribute to weight loss.<br />
Lecithin is supposed to break down fat and flush it out; there is no evidence to prove this.<br />
Safflower Oil helps to regulate body functions by building prostaglandins. It does not contribute to weight loss.<br />
Beeswax is used for the coating of the capsules. It does not contribute to weight loss.<br />
Water<br />
Gelatin, like Collagen, is supposed to reduce body fat and fine lines. Once again, there is no scientific evidence to prove these claims.<br />
Glycerin is added for flavor. However, it does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>You will notice that NONE of the ingredients in Colvera diet pills have been proven to be effective<br />
in contributing to weight loss. On a more positive note, the ingredients in Colvera are all-natural. Too bad they fail to list how much of each ingredient they include.</p>
<h2>Colvera Cost</h2>
<p>Colvera diet pills cost $49.95 for a one month supply (with a discount for buying in bulk). Each bottle contains 90 capsules.</p>
<h2>Colvera&#8211;No Guarantee</h2>
<p>The Colvera website states, &#8220;No legitimate company can guarantee that their product will work for everyone.  We do, however, guarantee that if you don&#8217;t take the product, you won&#8217;t lose the weight!&#8221;<br />
This statement is ridiculous! Beware of any company that is unwilling to back up their own product. It should make you suspect of the product.</p>
<h2>How to Take Colvera</h2>
<p>According to the Colvera website, &#8220;You simply take 3 capsules before you go to bed on an empty stomach.  This process allows Colvera™ to work more efficiently during the first 45 to 90 minutes of sleep while the body uses the available collagen and other vital nutrients during this time.&#8221;<br />
Anyone who has tried dieting knows the biggest secret is avoiding evening and night snacking. So, going to bed on an empty stomach will help whether you take anything<br />
or not. If you experience weight loss while taking Colvera diet pills, it is most likely because you are going to bed on an empty stomach and not because of Colvera.</p>
<h2>Colvera Claims</h2>
<p>Colvera wants you to believe they have a superior product because they do not include caffeine or stimulants. They claim, &#8220;Colvera™ is a natural Collagen Protein Formula, which works as a nutritional supplement that safely and naturally assists the body in shedding extra body fat, sugar, and toxins. What they don&#8217;t tell you is that none of the ingredients in Colvera have been proven o contribute to weight loss.</p>
<h2>Colvera Conclusion</h2>
<p>This Colvera review finds that Colvera will do nothing to help you lose weight. There is NO clinical<br />
evidence showing that any of the ingredients in Colvera contribute to weight loss. If you are really<br />
serious about losing weight, read through our recommended products to find one that includes<br />
proven ingredients in clinically proven amounts.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/calogel.gif"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-519" title="calogel" src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/calogel.gif" alt="calogel" width="58" height="117" /></a>Calogel is &#8220;a natural marine collagen protein formula, which works as a nutritional supplement that safely and naturally assists the body in shedding extra body fat, sugar, and toxins. Calogel™ AM simply supports your body&#8217;s lean muscle and fuels your body&#8217;s natural mechanism in burning off excess fats and sugars.&#8221; This Calogel review will explore the ingredients in Calogel diet pills and determine what you might realistically expect from this product.</p>
<h3>Calogel Ingredients</h3>
<p>Calogel diet pills contain the following ingredients:</p>
<p>Collagen<br />
Lecithin<br />
Aloe Vera<br />
Safflower Oil<br />
Beeswax</p>
<p>Many diet pill companies  claim collagen reduces body fat and erases fine lines and wrinkles. Unfortunately, clinical research has not been able to substantiate this claim; collagen has not been proven to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Lecithin is supposed to break down fat and flush it out of the body.  Once again, Lecithin has not been proven to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Aloe Vera is known for its healthy benefits. It is sometimes used as a mild laxative. The use of Aloe Vera for weight loss is mainly for colon cleansing.</p>
<p>Safflower Oil helps to regulate body functions by providing the material to build  prostaglandins.</p>
<p>Beeswax is used for the casing of the Calogel gelcaps. Beeswax does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<h3>Calogel AM &amp; PM Formulas&#8211;What is the difference?</h3>
<p>Calogel has two formulas, the AM Formula and the PM Formula. There is NO difference in the ingredients contained in the two formulas. Since Calogel does not disclose how much of each ingredient is included, there is no way to determine if there is any difference in these two formulas. The only differentiation made between the AM and PM formulas is how they are taken.</p>
<p>The directions for the AM Formula are as follows:<br />
&#8220;Take 3 gelcaps in the morning as soon as you get up and do not eat for one hour&#8221; (website).</p>
<p>The directions for the PM Formula are:<br />
&#8220;You simply take 3 capsules before you go to bed on an empty stomach. This process allows Calogel™ to work more efficiently during the first 45 to 90 minutes of sleep while the body uses the available collagen and other vital nutrients during this time&#8221; (website).</p>
<p>You will notice that the basic direction for both formulas is not to eat when taking the diet pill. So, if you are seeing results from taking Calogel it is most likely because you are not eating right after waking up and you are going to bed with an empty stomach. There is NO evidence to show Calogel will cause weight loss; NONE of the ingredients in Calogel have been proven to directly cause weight loss.</p>
<h3>Calogel&#8211;No Guarantee</h3>
<p>The Calogel website states, &#8220;We do not offer returns or guarantees simply because we can not be with each person to make sure it is taken properly and taken each day. We do, however, guarantee that if you don&#8217;t take the product, you won&#8217;t lose the weight!. Remember Calogel has nearly a 90% success rate when used correctly&#8221; (website).</p>
<p>It is really unusual for a diet pill company not to have some sort of a guarantee. Any company that fails to back up their product is not worth buying from.</p>
<h3>Calogel Cost</h3>
<p>Calogel diet pills cost $98 for a combo pack including both the AM and PM formulas. This combo pack lasts one month. This Calogel review finds that this is much too expensive for Calogel diet pills. There is no proof that Calogel contributes to weight loss; don&#8217;t waste your money on it.</p>
<h3>Calogel Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Calogel review finds that Calogel may improve your fine lines and wrinkles, but it will not cause weight loss. There are no proven ingredients contained in Calogel diet pills. Save yourself some grief and look for a product with proven ingredients in proven amounts.</p>
