		<description><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/greenteahp.jpg" alt="greenteahp" title="greenteahp" width="160" height="134" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1312" />Green Tea HP is a fairly new weight loss/wellness product to hit the market.  It appears to have originally been sold through shopping mall kiosks, but have since moved to a network marketing sales model (more on that later).  </p>
<p>Green tea has long been seen as an effective weight loss ingredient, so how does the product Green Tea HP stand up against the competition?  Read on to find out.</p>
<h2>Ingredients</h2>
<p><strong>Green Tea</strong> &#8211; <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/">Green tea</a> is a solid weight loss ingredient that is backed by loads of research and clinical studies.  Green tea contains caffeine, so those that are particularly sensitive to caffeine should take note.  </p>
<p><strong>Acai</strong> &#8211; Acai has become quite popular as of late, mostly due to the marketing hype of diet pill companies and not due to the actual weight loss potential of the ingredient.  It is a great antioxidant and a healthy supplement to take, but it will do little to actually cause you to lose weight.</p>
<p><strong>Noni Juice</strong> &#8211; Noni is a tropical fruit (technical name is morinda citrifolia) that some believe has various health benefits.  </p>
<p><strong>Pomegranate Juice</strong> &#8211; Also contains antioxidants that help overall health, but will cause no weight loss.</p>
<p><strong>Resveratrol</strong> &#8211; A phytoalexin found in the skin of red grapes, resveratrol has many health benefits.  Its effectiveness in weight loss has yet to be determined.</p>
<p><strong>L-Theanine</strong> &#8211; An amino acid, <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/l-theanine-review/">l-theanine</a> has been shown to help reduce stress.  Often diet pills will include l-theanine to counteract effects of stimulants such as caffeine.  Will it cause weight loss? No.</p>
<p><strong>Bioperine</strong> &#8211; A thermonutrient, <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/bioperine-review/">bioperine</a> helps to absorb nutrients.  While it won&#8217;t cause weight loss, it may help in the absorption of ingredients that will.  </p>
<p>Looking at the ingredient profile, the only real ingredient that will cause weight loss is green tea.  The other ingredients are basically support ingredients.  This isn&#8217;t necessarily a bad thing since green tea is such a highly effective weight loss ingredient.</p>
<h2>Green Tea HP&#8217;s Marketing</h2>
<p>What I do like about the Green Tea HP website is that they actually have a fair amount of information concerning the studies that back up their claims about the health benefits.  In most cases they provide a listing of citations allowing you to verify the results of the study for yourself.</p>
<p>What I don&#8217;t like about the marketing (and mostly the marketing of other websites pushing Green Tea HP) is that they claim to have about every health benefit under the sun.  Just be wise of the fact that while the product is likely to have numerous health benefits, it&#8217;s certainly not the miracle product that will solve all your health problems, (preventing cancer, kidney disease, osteoporosis, etc.) like it&#8217;s made out to be.  </p>
<h2>Gree Tea HP&#8217;s New Sales Tactic: Network Marketing</h2>
<p>From what I can tell, Green Tea HP was originally sold in kiosks in shopping malls.  They are now (and the switch seems to be rather recently) moving to a network marketing sales method (same method used by Tahitian Noni, Avon, etc.).  This means that you can become a distributor for Green Tea HP and sell the product.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m personally not a big fan of network marketing because there is often more of a focus on selling other people on the &#8216;business opportunity&#8217; than there is on the actual product.  In most cases it&#8217;s just a way for the company to grow fast and grow rich.  I can&#8217;t say if the same goes for Green Tea HP, but don&#8217;t be too surprised if your long lost friend calls you after 5 years of no contact trying to sell you a new and amazing wellness formula called Green Tea HP.</p>
<p>To each their own I guess.</p>
<h2>Green Tea HP&#8217;s Price</h2>
<p>Green Tea HP comes in many different varieties and sizes.  I appears that a standard order would the &#8220;variety sixty&#8221; which comes with 60 &#8220;pixies&#8221; (doses).  Per the instructions you take two doses per day so this sixty pack will last one month.</p>
<p>A sixty pack of Green Tea HP costs $79.95.  This is definitely on the more expensive side of the weight loss product spectrum.  </p>
<h2>Green Tea HP&#8217;s Guarantee</h2>
<p>It doesn&#8217;t appear that the company offers any kind of money back guarantee.</p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>Green Tea HP&#8217;s ingredients look to be ok.  Green tea is a good weight loss ingredient that is likely to help you with drop some weight.  Green Tea is also positioning itself as more of a wellness product, and not just a weight loss drink.  </p>
<p>The price is a little high and the lack of guarantee makes me a little cautious.  Also, take note that you may see quite a bit of biased testimonials based on the fact that virtually anyone can become a distributor for the company and has something to gain.  </p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/liporexall.jpg" alt="liporexall" title="liporexall" width="75" height="150" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1276" />Liporexall is a newcomer in the market but one that seems to have quite a bit of potential.  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> &#8211; 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> &#8211; 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> &#8211; Pinnothin is meant to cause appetite suppression.  </p>
<p><strong>NeOpuntia</strong> &#8211; 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> &#8211; 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> &#8211; 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> &#8211; Research shows that forskohlin, the main ingredient in ForsLean, helps to promote lean muscle mass.  </p>
<p><strong>Infinergy DiCaffeine Malate</strong> &#8211; 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> &#8211; 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> &#8211; 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>

<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/phenylethylamine-review/">Phenylethylamine</a> is a &#8220;feel good&#8221; ingredient; it does not contribute to weight loss.<br />
Ginger<br />
20 Hydroxyecdysone </p>
<p>So you are probably asking &#8220;What does all this mean?&#8221; Basically, Lipofuze diet pills contain some very effective diet pill ingredients.  The ingredients in Lipofuze certainly suggest that it will be an effective weight loss supplement.</p>
<h3>Lipofuze Price</h3>
<p>According to the Lipofuze website, you can get Lipofuze diet pills for &#8220;only&#8221; $49.95 for a one month supply.  This is an average price for a diet pill.  Given the high quality ingredients, I&#8217;d say that&#8217;s a pretty good value for your money.</p>
<h3>Lipofuze Guarantee</h3>
<p>The Lipofuze website says you can get a full refund if you return the empty bottle (they want you to use the entire bottle).  Themoney back guarantee is for life.  This refund policy actually looks legitimate and about the best that I&#8217;ve seen. </p>
<h3>Lipofuze Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Lipofuze review finds Lipofuze contains several great diet pill ingredients. They&#8217;ve used ingredients that are backed by a large amount scientific studies.  The price is reasonable and you don&#8217;t get a better guarantee than theirs (lifetime).  I&#8217;d say give Lipofuze a try and let us know how it goes.</p>

<p>LipoFlush diet pills supposedly &#8220;dramatically decrease body fat, increase energy levels, preserve skeletal muscle, and provide major health benefits&#8221; (website). This LipoFlush review will dissect the exhausting ingredient list and reveal the truth about the research done on LipoFlush to show you that LipoFlush is not the product you are looking for.</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>
<p>
<h3>LipoFlush Ingredients</h3>
</p>
<p>Vitamin D3 (100 IU) does nothing for weight loss.</p>
<p>Vitamin B5 (10 mg) does nothing for weight loss.</p>
<p>Vitamin B6 (25 mg) does nothing for weight loss.</p>
<p>Vitamin B12 (1000 mcg) does nothing for weight loss.</p>
<p>Folic Acid (1000 mcg) does nothing for weight loss.</p>
<p>Biotin (100 mcg) does nothing for weight loss.</p>
<p>Potassium (99 mg) does nothing for weight loss.</p>
<p>Calcium (415 mg) does nothing for weight loss.</p>
<p>Magnesium (200 mg) does nothing for weight loss.</p>
<p>Zinc (10 mg) does nothing for weight loss.</p>
<p>Chromium (50 mcg) has shown varying results in clinical studies.</p>
<p>Choline (650 mg) supposedly reduces body fat, but studies do not back up this claim.</p>
<p>L-Carnitine (450 mg) has not been proven to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Bioperine (4 mg) increases the body&#8217;s ability to absorb nutrients. It does not directly contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Citrus Aurantium (300 mg) contains Synephrine, which is a great, proven diet pill ingredient. The important aspect with Synephrine is the concentration&#8211;the higher the better. LipoFlush does not disclose the concentration of Synephrine it contains. Therefore, it is impossible for this LipoFlush review to determine if the Synephrine in LipoFlush diet pills is enough to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) (100 mg) does contribute to weight loss, but 100 mg isn&#8217;t going to do much.</p>
<p>Cordyceps Sinesis (100 mg)</p>
<p>Garcinia Cambogia (400 mg) does contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Hawthorne Berry (100 mg) does nothing for weight loss.</p>
<p>Caffeine (99 mg) is a good weight loss ingredient, but there is not enough caffeine in LipoFlush diet pills to be effective.</p>
<p>LipoFlush Proprietary Complex 4000 mg</p>
<p>Acanthopanax Senticosus</p>
<p>Alpha Lipoic Acid(ALA)  helps produce energy. However, the human body makes plenty of ALA, so there is no need to supplement.</p>
<p>Banaba Leaf</p>
<p>Beta Sitosterol</p>
<p>Betaine</p>
<p>Capsicum</p>
<p>Cellulose</p>
<p>Cinnamon</p>
<p>Damiana has been shown to contribute to weight loss when combined with yerba mate and guarana. LipoFlush does contain yerba mate and guarana, but it does not list how much of each is included.</p>
<p>Genistein</p>
<p>Ginger</p>
<p>Grape Seed</p>
<p>Guarana has been shown to contribute to weight loss when combined with yerba mate and damiana. LipoFlush does contain yerba mate and damiana, but it does not list how much of each is included.</p>
<p>Guggul extract is supposed to increase thyroid function, leading to weight loss. However, research does not support these claims.</p>
<p>Glycine</p>
<p>Hoodia does absolutely nothing for weight loss.</p>
<p>Inositol transports fat from the liver. Again, LipoFlush hides how much Inositol it contains.</p>
<p>Kelp</p>
<p>Kola Nut</p>
<p>Lecithin</p>
<p>L-Histidine</p>
<p>L-Tyrosine is effective when included in doses of 500 to 1500 mg per day. It is unlikely that LipoFlush contains enough L-Tyrosine to be effective.</p>
<p>Green Tea is a very effective ingredient, but LipoFlush does not list how much green tea it contains.</p>
<p>Magnesium</p>
<p>Mucuna Puriens</p>
<p>Panax Ginseng</p>
<p>Phosphatidylserine</p>
<p>Quercetine dihydrate</p>
<p>Siler extract</p>
<p>Theobroma Cocoa Complex</p>
<p>White Willow Bark is an anti-inflammatory. It does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Yerba Mate has been shown to contribute to weight loss when combined with guarana and damiana. LipoFlush does contain guarana and damiana, but it does not list how much of each is included.</p>
<p>
<h3>LipoFlush Cost</h3>
</p>
<p>LipoFlush costs $69.95 for 120 capsules. If you take the recommended 8 capsules per day, one bottle will last 15 days. This is an outrageous price for a diet pill! You can find a more effective diet pill at much less cost. Check out our recommended products.</p>
<p>
<h3>LipoFlush Research</h3>
</p>
<p>The LipoFlush website claims there has been research done specifically on LipoFlush. The supposed research was done in-house (which usually means they have altered the results to make them more favorable). Also, there is no formal write-up on the research results; they have not been published anywhere. This makes us very skeptical of the LipoFlush research.</p>
<p>
<h3>LipoFlush Conclusion</h3>
</p>
<p>This LipoFlush review finds LipoFlush is really no different from dozens of other diet pills. They do include a few proven ingredients, but in most cases they fail to list how much of each ingredient is included. They try to impress consumers with a very lengthy list of ingredients. The price of LipoFlush is ridiculous. Don&#8217;t bother with this product. Instead, go with one of our recommended products; they contain the necessary amount of proven ingredients and they won&#8217;t break your bank.</p>

<h3>Hydroxycitric Acid Update</h3>

<h3>Thermo Cuts Cost</h3>
<p>Thermo Cuts diet pills cost $25.99 for 200 capsules. If you take the maximum recommended dose of 12 capsules per day, one bottle will last about 16 days. This is quite expensive, especially considering the proven ingredients in Thermo Cuts are included in &#8220;proprietary&#8221; amounts (in other words, they put in very little of each ingredient just to say it is in there). Don&#8217;t bother with Thermo Cuts. Go with a diet pill that includes proven ingredients in proven amounts.</p>
<h3>Thermo Cuts Guarantee</h3>
<p>The Thermo Cuts website explains their 30 day guarantee. To get your money back, you have to have purchased Thermo Cuts through the website. Also, you have to call their customer service department and get a Return Authorization Number. At least 75% of the product has to be left for you to return the product. This return policy is a joke! If you only take 25% of the capsules, how will you possibly know if it works? Just one more reason to stay away from Thermo Cuts.</p>
<h3>Thermo Cuts Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Thermo Cuts review finds Thermo Cuts diet pills are really no different from countless others. They contain a few proven ingredients but hide them in a proprietary blend. They gouge you with the price and then make it next to impossible to return the product.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/thermocuts.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-829" title="thermocuts" src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/thermocuts.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a><span style="x-small;"><span style="x-small;">Thermo Cuts supposedly &#8220;aids in elevating your body&#8217;s metabolic activity by using fatty acids as a source of energy for muscle cells during intense exercise&#8221; (website). Don&#8217;t be taken in by the bold claims made about Thermo Cuts; this Thermo Cuts review finds Thermo Cuts is just an average, ineffective diet pill. </span></span></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>Thermo Cuts Ingredients</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/" >Chromium </a>(300 mcg) has shown conflicting results in clinical trials.</p>
<p>Proprietary Thermo Cuts Blend (2970 mg)</p>

<p><a name="Top"></a></p>
<ul><span style="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"><span style="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"><span style="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"></p>
<li>&#8220;Stimulate fat loss</li>
<li>Suppress appetite</li>
<li>Enhance lean body mass</li>
<li>Inhibit sugar cravings</li>
<li>Promote weight loss</li>
<li>Reduce blood sugar levels</li>
<li>Elevate metabolic rate</li>
<li>Increase energy level&#8221; (website).</li>
<p></span></p>
<p></span></span></ul>
<p>This Lipovar 8 review shows that Lipovar 8 cannot possibly live up to its claims (because of the minimal amount of each proven ingredient contained).</p>
<h3>Lipovar 8 Ingredients</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/forslean-review/" >ForsLean </a>Coleus Forskholii (62.5 mg) does contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guarana-yeba-mate-and-damiana-gyd-review/" >Guarana </a>(225 mg) has been shown to contribute to weight loss, but only when combined with Yerba Mate and Damiana. Lipovar 8 does not contain either Yerba Mate or Damiana. Thus, this Lipovar 8 review finds the Guarana in Lipovar 8 will not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Gymnema Sylvestre Extract (100 mg) leads to weight loss by controlling blood sugar levels.</p>
<p>Citrus Aurantium (94 mg) contains <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/" >Synephrine</a>, which has been proven to contribute to weight loss. The most important thing to note with Synephrine is the concentration. The higher the concentration of Synephrine the more effective it is at causing weight loss. Since Lipovar 8 does not list the concentration of the Synephrine it contains, there is no way of knowing if the Synephrine will cause weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green tea</a> (60 mg) has been proven to contribute to weight loss when taken in doses of 300 mg per day or more. If you take the recommended dose of Lipovar 8, you will only get 120 mg of green tea. Therefore, the green tea in Lipovar 8 is not enough to cause weight loss.</p>
<p>USP <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2007/caffeine/" >Caffeine </a>(50 mg) does cause weight loss, but 50 mg will not do much.</p>
<p>Calcium Phosphate (764 mg) does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/bioperine-review/" >Bioperine </a>(2.5 mg) helps the body absorb nutrients; it does not necessarily contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Lipovar 8 does contain a few proven ingredients. However, there are only small amounts of each ingredient included. This Lipovar 8 review finds you would be better off with another diet pill. Lipovar 8 will not give you the results you want.</p>
<h3>Lipovar 8 Price</h3>
<p><span style="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"><span style="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;"><span style="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica;">Lipovar 8 diet pills cost $21.99 for 120 capsules. If you take the recommended 4 capsules per day, one bottle will last 30 days. This is relatively inexpensive for a diet pill. However, considering the small amounts of the proven ingredients contained, any amount is too much for Lipovar 8.<br />
</span></span></span></p>
<h3>Lipovar 8 Guarantee</h3>
<p>The ISS Research (Lipovar 8 manufacturer) website states the following, &#8220;Merchandise must be returned at your expense in unopened and perfect condition in order to receive credit. A valid return authorization number must be on the shipping label or we will refuse the package. A 20% restocking fee will be applied to returns. No product returns will be accepted after 30 days.&#8221; This is a pathetic guarantee. You should be able to return an open product and they should give more than 30 days. Also, there is no reason for them to charge a restocking fee.</p>
<h3>Lipovar 8 Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Lipovar 8 review finds Lipovar 8 diet pills leave a lot to be desired. While they contain several proven ingredients, they do not contain enough of these ingredients to be effective. The Lipovar 8 guarantee is a guarantee in name only; it will do nothing for you. Find a diet pill that contains proven ingredients in proven amounts.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/avatrim.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-850" title="avatrim" src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/avatrim.jpg" alt="" width="75" height="150" /></a>Avatrim is a diet pill that, like so many others, claims it will change your life through diet pills, diet, and exercise. However, there is no proof that it actually works. In fact, the science proves Avatrim doesn&#8217;t work. This Avatrim review shows you what you can really expect from Avatrim.</p>
<h3>Avatrim Ingredients</h3>
<p>Biotin (600 mcg) is just a fancy name for Vitamin B7; it does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/carnitine-review/" >L-Carnitine</a> (500 mg) is supposed to contribute to weight loss, but the research does not support this. Until research is able to substantiate these claims we cannot back L-Carnitine as an effective weight loss ingredient.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green tea</a> (240 mg) has been proven to contribute to weight loss. However, studies have shown green tea is only effective when used in doses of 300 mg or more per day. Thus, this Avatrim review finds there is not enough green tea in Avatrim to cause weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/alpha-lipoic-acid-review/" >Alpha Lipoic Acid</a> (198 mg) produces energy. Your body produces plenty of Alpha Lipoic Acid on its own; you don&#8217;t need to supplement with it.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/bioperine-review/" >Bioperine </a>(10 mg) helps the body absorb nutrients; it does not necessarily do anything for weight loss.</p>
<p>R-Alpha Lipoic Acid (2 mg)</p>
<p>The only proven ingredient contained in Avatrim diet pills is green tea, and it is not included in a high enough amount to do anything to cause weight loss.</p>
<h3>Avatrim cost</h3>
<p>Avatrim diet pills cost $29.95 per bottle (a one month supply). While this is a pretty average price for a diet pill, it is too expensive for Avatrim. There is no reason to believe Avatrim will actually cause weight loss; the science simply does not prove it. You will find much better success with one of our recommended products. They contain proven ingredients in the necessary amounts to help you lose weight.</p>
<h3>Avatrim Guarantee</h3>
<p>Avatrim claims to have a 90 day money back guarantee. However, they do not give specifics on their guarantee. Usually this means there are hidden charges (like restocking or administrative fees) or they have other restrictions they don&#8217;t want you to know about.</p>
<h3>Avatrim Marketing</h3>
<p>According to Avatrim, &#8220;<span class="Normal-C22">There are three main sections on the </span><span class="Normal-C21">Avatrim</span><span class="Normal-C22"> Diet Program. First is the Formula;     followed by the Food Plan; and lastly, the Activity Plan&#8221; (website). Basically you are supposed to take the Avatrim diet pill, eat what they tell you to, and exercise. It is a good idea in principle, but since Avatrim diet pills don&#8217;t work, you might as well stick with a regular diet and exercise. It would save you some money.<br />
</span></p>
<p>By ordering Avatrim, you are enrolled in the free weight management club. Again, it is just an exercise program, nothing special. Don&#8217;t be fooled by their bold claims; Avatrim will not do anything for you.</p>
<h3>Avatrim Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Avatrim review finds this is just another subpar diet pill. There is NO reason to believe Avatrim diet pills will actually cause weight loss. Don&#8217;t waste your time or money on Avatrim. Go with a diet pill that actually includes proven ingredients in proven amounts.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green tea</a> (240 mg) has been proven to contribute to weight loss. However, studies have shown green tea is only effective when used in doses of 300 mg or more per day. Thus, this Avatrim review finds there is not enough green tea in Avatrim to cause weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/alpha-lipoic-acid-review/" >Alpha Lipoic Acid</a> (198 mg) produces energy. Your body produces plenty of Alpha Lipoic Acid on its own; you don&#8217;t need to supplement with it.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/bioperine-review/" >Bioperine </a>(10 mg) helps the body absorb nutrients; it does not necessarily do anything for weight loss.</p>
<p>R-Alpha Lipoic Acid (2 mg)</p>
<p>The only proven ingredient contained in Avatrim diet pills is green tea, and it is not included in a high enough amount to do anything to cause weight loss.</p>
<h3>Avatrim cost</h3>
<p>Avatrim diet pills cost $29.95 per bottle (a one month supply). While this is a pretty average price for a diet pill, it is too expensive for Avatrim. There is no reason to believe Avatrim will actually cause weight loss; the science simply does not prove it. You will find much better success with one of our recommended products. They contain proven ingredients in the necessary amounts to help you lose weight.</p>
<h3>Avatrim Guarantee</h3>
<p>Avatrim claims to have a 90 day money back guarantee. However, they do not give specifics on their guarantee. Usually this means there are hidden charges (like restocking or administrative fees) or they have other restrictions they don&#8217;t want you to know about.</p>
<h3>Avatrim Marketing</h3>
<p>According to Avatrim, &#8220;<span class="Normal-C22">There are three main sections on the </span><span class="Normal-C21">Avatrim</span><span class="Normal-C22"> Diet Program. First is the Formula;     followed by the Food Plan; and lastly, the Activity Plan&#8221; (website). Basically you are supposed to take the Avatrim diet pill, eat what they tell you to, and exercise. It is a good idea in principle, but since Avatrim diet pills don&#8217;t work, you might as well stick with a regular diet and exercise. It would save you some money.<br />
</span></p>
<p>By ordering Avatrim, you are enrolled in the free weight management club. Again, it is just an exercise program, nothing special. Don&#8217;t be fooled by their bold claims; Avatrim will not do anything for you.</p>
<h3>Avatrim Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Avatrim review finds this is just another subpar diet pill. There is NO reason to believe Avatrim diet pills will actually cause weight loss. Don&#8217;t waste your time or money on Avatrim. Go with a diet pill that actually includes proven ingredients in proven amounts.</p>

The MX-LS7 website claims it is &#8220;Scientifically proven core, shown to stimulate metabolic rate by up to 1,391%.&#8221; They give no information on the supposed research they used to come up with this information. This MX-LS7 review will show MX-LS7 diet pills are not worth your consideration.<br />
</span></p>
<h3>MX-LS7 Ingredients</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green tea</a> does cause weight loss when used in doses of 300 mg or more per day. Again, MX-LS7 hides how much green tea it contains.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guarana-yeba-mate-and-damiana-gyd-review/" >Yerba Mate</a> has been proven to cause weight loss but only when combined with <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guarana-yeba-mate-and-damiana-gyd-review/" >Damiana and Guarana</a>. MX-LS7 does not contain Damiana or Guarana. Thus, this MX-LS7 review finds the Yerba Mate in MX-LS7 will not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2007/caffeine/" >Natural </a>and <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/caffeine-anhydrous-review/" >anhydrous caffeine </a>contribute to weight loss, but MX-LS7 does not list how much caffeine it contains.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/bioperine-review/" >Bioperine </a>increases the body&#8217;s ability to absorb nutrients; it does not necessarily cause weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/" >Synephrine </a>is a clinically proven diet pill ingredient. The important aspect of synephrine is the concentration&#8211;the higher the concentration the more effective the synephrine. Once again, MX-LS7 does not disclose the concentration of synephrine it contains.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guggulesterones-review/" >Gugglesterone </a>supposedly increase thyroid function, but research has shown varying results.</p>
<p>Clary sage</p>
<p>Coleus forskholii does cause weight loss, but there is no proof of how much coleus forskholii MX-LS7 contains.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/l-tyrosine-review/" >Tyrosine </a>causes weight loss when used in doses of 500 to 1500 mg per day; it is unlikely that MX-LS7 contains enough Tyrosine to be effective.</p>
<p>Evodiamine has been shown to cause weight loss in rodents, but more human research is needed.</p>
<p>Xanthinol Nicotinate has been shown to increase blood flow to the brain, but it has not been shown to cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Bacopa</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/vinpocetine-review/" >Vinpocetine </a>is used to treat age related memory problems; it does not cause weight loss.</p>
<h3>MX-LS7 Price</h3>
<p>MX-LS7 diet pills cost $34.99 for 120 capsules. If you take the maximum recommended dose of 8 capsules per day, one bottle will last 15 days. This is very expensive for a diet pill. Although MX-LS7 contains several clinically proven ingredients, it fails to disclose how much of each ingredient is included. Thus, any amount is too much to pay for MX-LS7 diet pills.</p>
<h3>MX-LS7 Guarantee</h3>
<p>MX-LS7 has an unconditional 60-day money-back guarantee. Unlike many other diet pill companies, MX-LS7 will even give refunds on open bottles. We like this guarantee, but be assured you will need it if you buy MX-LS7.</p>
<h3>MX-LS7 Conclusion</h3>
<p>MX-LS7 contains several of our favorite diet pill ingredients. Unfortunately they do not list how much of each ingredient is included (probably because there are only trace amounts of these ingredients). Look for a diet pill with similar ingredients but one that includes them in the necessary amounts.</p>

This HydroxyRip Extreme review will unravel the truth behind these claims to show HydroxyRip Extreme is just another diet pill.</p>
<h3>HydroxyRip Extreme Ingredients</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/caffeine-anhydrous-review/" >Caffeine anhydrous</a> (300 mg) is the same as regular caffeine. It does contribute to weight loss. However, this HydroxyRip Extreme review finds HydroxyRip Extreme diet pills contain a very high amount of caffeine (since there is caffeine in green tea as well). You should consider your own reaction to caffeine before deciding to take HydroxyRip Extreme or any other diet pill.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green tea</a> (270 mg) has been proven to contribute to weight loss when taken in doses of 300 mg or more per day. Thus, you will only get enough green tea to cause weight loss if you take the maximum recommended dose of HydroxyRip Extreme.</p>
<p>White willow (60 mg) is an anti-inflammatory. It does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Deanol acetamidobenzoate hydrogentartrate (45 mg)</p>
<p>Inositol Hexaphosphate (45 mg) transports fat from the liver. It is used to treat ADD and depression.</p>
<p>Xanthinol Nicotinate (45 mg) is supposed to increase blood flow. Studies have shown Xanthinol Nicotinate DOES NOT contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Codonopsis pilosula extract 5:1 (30 mg)</p>
<p>Evodia Rutaecarpine Extract (30 mg) has been shown to cause weight loss in mice, but more human studies need to be done.</p>
<p>Inula racemosa extract (30 mg)</p>
<p>Yohimbe bark extract (30 mg) increases fatty acid mobilization, leading to weight loss.</p>
<p>Aspidosperma quebrachoblanco extract (15 mg)</p>
<p>Troxerutin sophora japonica extract (15 mg)</p>
<p>Cinidium monnieri extract (12 mg) has anti-anxiety effects; it does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/bioperine-review/" >Bioperine </a>(3 mg) increases the body&#8217;s ability to absorb nutrients. More research is needed to determine if Bioperine actually contributes to weight loss.</p>
<p>HydroxyRip Extreme contains only three proven ingredients (caffeine, green tea, and yohimbine). You can find a much more effective diet pill.</p>
<h3>HydroxyRip Extreme Cost</h3>
<p>HydroxyRip Extreme diet pills cost $19.99 for 120 capsules. The NSI (HydroxyRip Extreme manufacturer) website claims the retail price of HydroxyRip Extreme is $74.99. This is common among diet pill companies; they want you to think you are getting a great deal so you will buy their product. If you take the maximum recommended dose of 6 capsules per day, one bottle will last 20 days. This is not especially expensive for a diet pill, but you could get a much more effective diet pill for the same price.</p>
<h3>HydroxyRip Extreme Guarantee</h3>
<p>The NSI website says nothing about a guarantee for HydroxyRip Extreme. This usually means there is no guarantee. If you purchase HydroxyRip Extreme from another website or retailer, they might have their own guarantee or return policy. Be sure you know what the return policy is before purchasing any product.</p>
<h3>HydroxyRip Extreme Conclusion</h3>
<p>HydroxyRip Extreme does contain some good proven diet pill ingredients. However, you can find these same ingredients in more effective diet pills for about the same price. Look through our recommended products to find a diet pill that will work for you.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/gnc-x-12.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-782" title="gnc-x-12" src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/gnc-x-12.jpg" alt="" width="103" height="150" /></a>GNC X-12 is a diet pill that claims the following:</p>
<p>&#8220;The clinically proven, proprietary thermogenic blend in GNC X12™ has been shown to help you burn 12 times more calories. It also helps increase your metabolism before, during and after exercise; helping burn up to 278 more calories cumulatively&#8221; (website).</p>
<p>This GNC X-12 review will reveal the truth behind the claims made about GNC X-12, specifically detailing the ingredients and supposed research done on GNC X-12.</p>
<h3>GNC X-12 Ingredients</h3>
<p>Niacin (20 mg) does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Proprietary Thermogenic Blend (238.34 mg)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/caffeine-anhydrous-review/" >Caffeine Anhydrous</a> is dehydrated caffeine; it has the same effects. Caffeine has been proven to contribute to weight loss. However, GNC X-12 does not disclose how much caffeine it contains, making it impossible for this GNC X-12 review to determine if there is enough caffeine in GNC X-12 to cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Capsimax Capsicum Fruit Extract is cayenne pepper. More research is needed to determine the effectiveness of capsicum on weight loss.</p>
<p>Bioperine Black Pepper Extract helps the body to absorb nutrients. There is no research indicating a direct link between bioperine to weight loss.</p>
<p>There is only ONE proven ingredient in GNC X-12 diet pills (caffeine), and GNC X-12 fails to disclose how much caffeine it contains. You would be much better off going with a different diet pill, one that includes proven ingredients in the necessary amounts.</p>
<h3>GNC X-12 Research</h3>
<p>The GNC website claims research done on GNC X-12 has shown great weight loss results. However, they do not say when or where the study was conducted or who conducted the study. This usually means one of two things: 1. No study was done or 2. It was an &#8220;in-house&#8221; study (conducted by GNC itself) so they could tweak the results to make them seem better.</p>
<p>We give little or no weight to companies who do not give enough information about their research.</p>
<h3>GNC X-12 Guarantee</h3>
<p>GNC does offer a guarantee for GNC X-12 diet pills. You must take GNC X-12 for at least 10 days. If you still are not satisfied, you can return the unused portion to the store (with the proof of purchase) for full refund. There is no mention of how long you have to return the product. We do like that you can get a full refund and that you can return it to the store for an immediate, in person refund.</p>
<h3>GNC X-12 Cost</h3>
<p>GNC X-12 diet pills cost $24.99 for 45 capsules. If you take the recommended dose of one capsule per day, one bottle will last about a month and a half. This is quite inexpensive for a diet pill. However, since there is only one proven ingredient in GNC X-12 and it the amount of it is hidden, there is no reason to believe GNC X-12 will actually cause weight loss. Thus, any amount is too much to pay for GNC X-12.</p>
<h3>GNC X-12 Conclusion</h3>
<p>This GNC X-12 review finds GNC X-12 is nothing special. They hide how much of the ONE proven ingredient is included. Their research is suspect. Don&#8217;t waste your money on this product. Instead, look through our recommended products; they include proven ingredients in the necessary amounts to cause weight loss.</p>

<p>&#8220;The clinically proven, proprietary thermogenic blend in GNC X12™ has been shown to help you burn 12 times more calories. It also helps increase your metabolism before, during and after exercise; helping burn up to 278 more calories cumulatively&#8221; (website).</p>
<p>This GNC X-12 review will reveal the truth behind the claims made about GNC X-12, specifically detailing the ingredients and supposed research done on GNC X-12.</p>
<h3>GNC X-12 Ingredients</h3>
<p>Niacin (20 mg) does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Proprietary Thermogenic Blend (238.34 mg)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/caffeine-anhydrous-review/" >Caffeine Anhydrous</a> is dehydrated caffeine; it has the same effects. Caffeine has been proven to contribute to weight loss. However, GNC X-12 does not disclose how much caffeine it contains, making it impossible for this GNC X-12 review to determine if there is enough caffeine in GNC X-12 to cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Capsimax Capsicum Fruit Extract is cayenne pepper. More research is needed to determine the effectiveness of capsicum on weight loss.</p>
<p>Bioperine Black Pepper Extract helps the body to absorb nutrients. There is no research indicating a direct link between bioperine to weight loss.</p>
<p>There is only ONE proven ingredient in GNC X-12 diet pills (caffeine), and GNC X-12 fails to disclose how much caffeine it contains. You would be much better off going with a different diet pill, one that includes proven ingredients in the necessary amounts.</p>
<h3>GNC X-12 Research</h3>
<p>The GNC website claims research done on GNC X-12 has shown great weight loss results. However, they do not say when or where the study was conducted or who conducted the study. This usually means one of two things: 1. No study was done or 2. It was an &#8220;in-house&#8221; study (conducted by GNC itself) so they could tweak the results to make them seem better.</p>
<p>We give little or no weight to companies who do not give enough information about their research.</p>
<h3>GNC X-12 Guarantee</h3>
<p>GNC does offer a guarantee for GNC X-12 diet pills. You must take GNC X-12 for at least 10 days. If you still are not satisfied, you can return the unused portion to the store (with the proof of purchase) for full refund. There is no mention of how long you have to return the product. We do like that you can get a full refund and that you can return it to the store for an immediate, in person refund.</p>
<h3>GNC X-12 Cost</h3>
<p>GNC X-12 diet pills cost $24.99 for 45 capsules. If you take the recommended dose of one capsule per day, one bottle will last about a month and a half. This is quite inexpensive for a diet pill. However, since there is only one proven ingredient in GNC X-12 and it the amount of it is hidden, there is no reason to believe GNC X-12 will actually cause weight loss. Thus, any amount is too much to pay for GNC X-12.</p>
<h3>GNC X-12 Conclusion</h3>
<p>This GNC X-12 review finds GNC X-12 is nothing special. They hide how much of the ONE proven ingredient is included. Their research is suspect. Don&#8217;t waste your money on this product. Instead, look through our recommended products; they include proven ingredients in the necessary amounts to cause weight loss.</p>
