			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/slenderful.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-823" title="slenderful" src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/slenderful.jpg" alt="" width="97" height="150" /></a><span><span class="verdana12black">Slenderful supposedly &#8220;helps achieve permanent weight loss by promoting your natural ability to burn fat, maintain muscle, and control appetite, and by teaching you food choices that actually promote burning fat &#8211; without counterproductive, ineffective, controversial, or potentially harmful ingredients, such as diuretics, ephedra, or PPA. Better yet, SLENDERFUL does all this without requiring major changes in your lifestyle&#8221; (website). This Slenderful review finds Slenderful falls short on all of its claims. It has an exhausting ingredient list, with only one proven ingredient.<br />
</span></span></p>
<h3>Slenderful Ingredients</h3>
<p>Thiamin (4mg)</p>
<p>Riboflavin (5 mg)</p>
<p>Niacin (13 mg)</p>
<p>Vitamin B6 (4 mg)</p>
<p>Folate (175 mcg)</p>
<p>Vitamin B12 (9 mcg)</p>
<p>Iodine (75 mcg)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/" >Chromium </a>(120 mcg)</p>
<p><span><span>Guggulipid</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>Gotu kola</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>DL-phenylalanine</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>Taurine</span></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/l-tyrosine-review/" >L-tyrosine</a></p>
<p><span><span>Octopamine </span></span></p>
<p><span><span>Polyphenolic extract of green coffee bean</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>Willow bark</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>ipriflavone</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>grape fruit extract 10:1</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>L-methionine</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>Yerba matte</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>Rhodiola rosea</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>Myo inositol</span></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/dmae-dimethylethanolamine-review/" >DMAE </a><span><span>(dimethylaminoethanol bitartrate)</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>Choline bitartrate</span></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/carnitine-review/" >L-carnitine</a><span><span>-L-tartrate</span></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/5-hydroxytryptophan-5-htp-review/" >5-hydroxytryptophan</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/alpha-lipoic-acid-review/" >Alpha lipoic acid</a><span><span> (antioxidant)</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>Uva ursi</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>Vanadyl nicotinate</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>Capsicum powder</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>Ginger </span></span></p>
<p><span><span>DIM</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>Sea kelp </span></span></p>
<p>This ingredient list is overwhelming. The long and short of it is only tyrosine has been proven to contribute to weight loss. Not only that, Slenderful fails to list the amount of tyrosine it contains. To be effective at causing weight loss, tyrosine has to be taken in doses of 500 to 1500 mg per day. It is extremely unlikely that Slenderful contains enough tyrosine to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<h3>Slenderful Price</h3>
<p>Slenderful diet pills cost $20.67 for 90 capsules (a one month supply). This is actually inexpensive for a diet pill. However, although Slenderful contains a few proven ingredients, they are included in an undisclosed amount, so any amount is too much to pay for Slenderful.</p>
<h3>Slenderful Guarantee</h3>
<p>The Slenderful website states, &#8220;You may return your purchase within 30 days of purchase for a refund or replacement. Just fill out the return section on your order&#8217;s packing slip and send it back to us in new condition!&#8221; This is their stealthy way of saying you can only return Slenderful if the package is not open. In other words, if you purchase only one package and use the product you can&#8217;t get your money back.</p>
<h3>Slenderful Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Slenderful review finds Slenderful is nothing more than a typical diet pill; it contains only one proven  ingredient in an undisclosed amount. Don&#8217;t bother with this product. It does not live up to any of its lofty claims. Look for a diet pill that contains proven ingredients in clinically proven amounts.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/slimvia.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-838" title="slimvia" src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/slimvia.jpg" alt="" width="151" height="70" /></a>Slimvia is a diet pill that &#8220;uses a natural proprietary blend of select ingredients we researched over many years to help you reduce your food consumption, increase fullness, increase energy, and reduce desire to overly eat&#8221; (website). The truth is Slimvia contains a lot of ingredients, but they do nothing to contribute to weight loss. Slimvia may have a good guarantee policy, but it really doesn&#8217;t matter when you consider there is no proof that Slimvia actually causes weight loss (despite what their website may claim).</p>
<h3>Slimvia Ingredients</h3>
<p>Viaplex 636 mg</p>
<p>A proprietary herbal blend that suppresses appetite and reduces cravings.</p>
<p>L-Carnitine 7 mg</p>
<p>Vitamin C (1 mg) is healthy, but it does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Vitamin E (2 iu) does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Vitamin B1 (1 mg) does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Vitamin B2 (1 mg) does nothing for weight loss.</p>
<p>Choline 2 mg</p>
<p>Chromium Picolinate (100 mcg) has shown varying results in clinical trials.</p>
<p>Ginger root</p>
<p>Spirulina</p>
<p>Uncaria Surinamensis</p>
<p>Lepidium Peruvianum</p>
<p>Capim Doce</p>
<p>Gelatin</p>
<p>Magnesium Stearate</p>
<p>Silica</p>
<p>Ascorbic Acid</p>
<p>Thiamine Mononitrate</p>
<p>Choline Bitartrate</p>
<p>Vitamin E Succianate</p>
<p>Cyanocobolamine</p>
<p>This exhaustive ingredient list should not impress you. It is simply a bunch of ineffective ingredients. There is no reason to believe Slimvia will actually cause weight loss.</p>
<h3>Slimvia Guarantee</h3>
<p>Slimvia has a 90 day guarantee. You can return Slimvia even if you have used some of it (lots of diet pill companies accept only unopened packages). Slimvia does not charge any restocking fees for returns. This guarantee policy actually seems pretty good. Too bad the product does not work, so you will need to use the guarantee if you choose to try Slimvia diet pills.</p>
<h3>Slimvia Cost</h3>
<p>Slimvia offers a couple options. You can choose a 2 week supply of Slimvia for $24.99 or a one month supply for $59.99 (it would make more sense to buy two 2 week supplies because it would be cheaper). No matter which option you choose, you are enrolled in autoship (they automatically send you more product and charge your credit card for it). We never like autoship; you should be able to choose when you do (or don&#8217;t) want to receive more product.</p>
<h3>Slimvia Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Slimvia review finds that Slimvia diet pills will do nothing for weight loss. There are no proven ingredients in Slimvia. Although the Slimvia guarantee policy seems sound, it doesn&#8217;t matter since the product doesn&#8217;t actually work. Go with a product that actually includes proven ingredients in the necessary amounts. Our recommended products are some good options.</p>
