This LipoRid AM review will reveal the truth behind this claim and show you what you can really expect from LipoRid AM.</p>
<h3>LipoRid AM Ingredients</h3>
<p>The following are the ingredients in LipoRid AM diet pills. Most of them do not contribute to weight loss, but we have explained those that do.<br />
<strong>Niacin</strong> (20 mg)<br />
<strong>Vitamin B6</strong> (10 mg)<br />
<strong>Zinc</strong> (5 mg)<br />
<strong>Selenium</strong> (100 mcg)<br />
<strong>Copper</strong> (0.3 mg)<br />
<strong>Manganese</strong> (2 mg)<br />
<strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/">Chromium Picolinate</a></strong> (400 mcg) has shown varying results in clinical studies so we cannot endorse the inclusion of Chromium Picolinate.<br />
<strong>Calcium Pyruvate</strong> (1044 mg) does contribute to weight loss, but clinical studies have shown it is only effective when contained in doses of 36 grams per day. This LipoRid AM review finds there is nowhere near enough Calcium Pyruvate in LipoRid AM to cause weight loss.<br />
<strong>Bayberry Leaf</strong> (125 mg)<br />
<strong>Mullion Leaf</strong> (125 mg)<br />
<strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guggulesterones-review/">Gugglesterone</a> </strong>(150 mg) is supposed to increase thyroid function, leading to weight loss. However, studies have shown varying results.<br />
<strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/l-tyrosine-review/">L-Tyrosine</a></strong> (30 mg) is a great diet pill ingredient, but it has to be included in doses of 500 to 1500 mg per day. There is not enough L-Tyrosine in LipoRid AM to contribute to weight loss.<br />
<strong>Panax <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/ginseng-review/">Ginseng</a> root extract</strong> (150 mg)<br />
<strong>Kelp powder</strong> (220 mg)<br />
<strong>Citrus Pectin</strong> (200 mg)<br />
<strong>Grapefruit Seed extract </strong>(200 mg)<br />
<br />
LipoRid AM does contain a few proven diet pill ingredients, but they are not included in sufficient amounts.</p>
<h3>LipoRid AM Cost</h3>
<p>LipoRid AM diet pills cost $21.95 for 33 capsules. If you take the maximum recommended dosage of 9 capsules per day, one bottle will not even last 4 days.  In other words, LipoRid AM will cost you about $180 per month. This is an outrageous amount. There is no reason to believe LipoRid AM will actually cause weight loss, so any amount is too much to pay for it.</p>
<h3>LipoRid AM Guarantee</h3>
<p>Strictly Health Corporation, manufacturer of LipoRid AM, offers a 30 day guarantee on LipoRid AM. In order to return the product, you have to obtain an RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization) from the customer service department. No opened bottles can be returned.<br />
<br />
A 30 day guarantee is pointless. Thirty days is not enough time to determine whether or not a diet pill will work (although the ingredients show LipoRid AM will not cause weight loss). We prefer a 90 day guarantee.</p>
<h3>LipoRid AM Conclusion</h3>
<p>This LipoRid AM review finds LipoRid AM does contain a few good diet pill ingredients, but not in the necessary amounts. Furthermore, LipoRid AM is WAY too expensive. Do yourself a favor and go with a diet pill that contains proven ingredients in proven amounts. It will help you shed the pounds while keeping money in your wallet. Check out our recommended products to find a diet pill that will work for you.</p>

This Solidax ADX review will reveal the truth behind this claim as well as let you know what you can really expect from Solidax ADX diet pills.</p>
<h3>Solidax ADX Ingredients</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/">Synephrine</a> is an excellent diet pill ingredient. Like ephedra without the dangerous side effects, Synephrine is a great fat burner. When looking at Synephrine, it is important to note the concentration of Synephrine contained in the diet pill; the higher the concentration the more effective it is in causing weight loss. Unfortunately, Solidax ADX fails to reveal the concentration of Synephrine  it contains. Therefore, there is no way of knowing if there is a high enough concentration of Synephrine in Solidax ADX diet pills to contribute to weight loss.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/">Chromium Picolinate</a> has shown varying results in clinical studies; some have shown it to be effective in causing weight loss, while others have shown the opposite. With such varying conclusions, we cannot endorse Chromium Picolinate.<br />
<br />
Calcium Pyruvate does increase metabolic rate, contributing to weight loss. However, in order for Calcium Pyruvate to be effective, it has to be taken in doses of 36 grams per day. Solidax ADX fails to list how much Calcium Pyruvate it contains, but you can be sure it would take dozens of Solidax ADX pills to give you enough Calcium Pyruvate to contribute to weight loss. NOTE: DO NOT TAKE MORE THAN THE RECOMMENDED DOSAGE OF SOLIDAX ADX DIET PILLS.<br />
<br />
Magnesium Stearate does not contribute to weight loss.<br />
<br />
Gelatin does not contribute to weight loss.<br />
<br />
You will note that Solidax ADX diet pills do contain 2 proven diet pill ingredients, but it is unlikely the Synephrine in Solidax ADX will be effective, and it is impossible that there is enough Calcium Pyruvate to cause weight loss.</p>
<h3>Solidax ADX Cost</h3>
<p>Solidax ADX diet pills cost $69.97 for 60 capsules. They claim it has a retail value of $88 (which is just a marketing tactic to make you think you are getting a great deal so you will be more likely to buy their product).<br />
<br />
If you take the recommended dosage of 3 capsules per day, one bottle will last 20 days. This means a one month supply will cost over $100. This is WAY too much to pay for Solidax ADX, especially since there is no reason to believe it will actually contribute to weight loss.</p>
<h3>Solidax ADX Guarantee</h3>
<p>There is no guarantee from the Solidax ADX manufacturer. If you purchase the product from another source, check to see if they have a guarantee. Odds are you will need it, since there is no reason to believe Solidax ADX will actually work.</p>
<h3>Solidax ADX Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Solidax ADX review finds Solidax ADX diet pills are overpriced and not worth your time or money. Since Solidax ADX does not disclose how much of each ingredient it contains, there is no way of knowing it will actually work unless you spend over $100 a month for the product. Don&#8217;t waste your time on Solidax ADX. Instead, go with one of our recommended products; they contain proven ingredients in the necessary amounts.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/1slim1.jpg" alt="1slim1" title="1slim1" width="124" height="150" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1117" />1Slim1 is a diet pill supplement that claims, &#8220;Your body can become a virtual fat burning furnace, burning  body fat without losing muscle. 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>

		<description><![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>

		<description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/suvaril.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-757" title="suvaril" src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/suvaril.jpg" alt="" width="159" height="137" /></a>Suvaril is a typical diet pill that promises weight loss but fails to prove that it actually works. The Suvaril website claims, &#8220;Only Suvaril can deliver consistent moderate weight loss.&#8221; Obviously this is untrue. We have found several diet pills that cause moderate weight loss, and Suvaril cannot prove that it will really work. This Suvaril review will show that Suvaril diet pills are nothing to write home about.</p>
<h3>Suvaril Ingredients</h3>
<p>Vitamin A (2500 IU) is healthy but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Vitamin C (40 mg) is healthy but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Vitamin D (200 IU) is healthy but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Vitamin E (15 IU) is healthy but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Thiamin (0.75 mg) is healthy but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Riboflavin (0.85 mg) is healthy but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Niacin (10 mg) is healthy but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Vitamin B6 (1 mg) is healthy but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Folic Acid (200 mcg) is healthy but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Vitamin B12 (3 mcg) is healthy but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Biotin (150 mcg) is healthy but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Pantothenic Acid (5 mg) is healthy but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Calcium (50 mg) is healthy but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Magnesium (25 mg) is healthy but does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/" >Chromium Picolinate</a> (100 mcg) has shown varying results in clinical trials. Some studies have shown chromium contributes to weight loss while others have shown it does not.</p>
<p>Suvaril Proprietary Blend (472 mg)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green tea</a> has been proven to contribute to weight loss by increasing metabolic rate. Studies have shown that for green tea to be effective, it has to be taken in doses of at least 300 mg per day. Unfortunately, Suvaril fails to disclose how much green tea it contains, making it impossible for this Suvaril review to determine if there is enough green tea in Suvaril diet pills to be effective.</p>
<p>Grape seed</p>
<p>Vanadium does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Banaba Leaf lowers blood sugar levels, leading to weight loss. Again, Suvaril does not say how much banaba it contains.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/l-theanine-review/" >L-Theanine</a> reduces stress levels; it does not directly contribute to weight loss.</p>
<h3>Suvaril Free Sample</h3>
<p>Suvaril offers a free 30 day sample. The catch is that when you sign up for the free sample you are enrolled in autoship (they automatically send you the product and charge your credit card for it). You will be charged $69.90 for a 60 day supply.</p>
<h3>Suvaril Price</h3>
<p>If you choose to buy Suvaril diet pills and don&#8217;t want to enroll in autoship, you will pay $49.95 for a one month supply. This is way too expensive for this product. Suvaril contains only two proven ingredients (green tea and banaba), and it does not say how much of each ingredient is included.</p>
<h3>Suvaril Guarantee</h3>
<p>Suvaril offers a 60 day refund on unopened bottles only. This is good for Suvaril because you have to buy more than one bottle in order to get a refund (since you cannot return opened bottles).</p>
<h3>Suvaril Conclusion</h3>
<p>Suvaril diet pills might cause weight loss, but it might not. Since Suvaril hides how much of each proven ingredient it contains, there is no way of knowing if Suvaril will actually work. And, since you cannot return an unopened bottle, you will be spending nearly $100 to see if it will work. That seems like too much to gamble on this product. Instead, this Suvaril review recommends using a diet pill containing clinically proven ingredients in the necessary amounts.</p>

<ul>
<li>&#8220;Help accelerate calorie burning with diet &amp; exercise</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Increase metabolic rate</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Control appetite and boost energy&#8221; (website).</li>
</ul>
<p>While SlimBody XP makes bold claims, they fail to back them up. They include proven ingredients in a proprietary blend, hiding how much of each ingredient is included.</p>
<h3>SlimBody XP Ingredients</h3>
<p>Vitamin E (6IU) is good for overall health, but it does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Magnesium (75 mg) has healthy benefits, but it does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Zinc (6 mg) is important to health, but it does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/" >Chromium Picolinate </a>(50 mcg) has shown varying results in clinical trials. Some studies have found chromium contributes to weight loss while other studies have shown it does not.</p>
<p>SlimBody XP Proprietary Blend</p>
<p><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 <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guarana-yeba-mate-and-damiana-gyd-review/" >Damiana and Yerba Mate</a>. SlimBody XP does contain Damiana, but it does not contain Yerba Mate. Thus, this SlimBody XP review finds the Guarana in SlimBody XP will not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Bee Pollen does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Korean Ginseng has not been shown to cause weight loss in humans.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/ginger-review-is-ginger-effective-in-diet-pills/" >Ginger </a>Root is used to calm the stomach; it does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Lecithin supposedly breaks down fat. However, research does not back these claims.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2007/caffeine/" >Caffeine </a>has been proven to contribute to weight loss. Unfortunately, SlimBody XP fails to disclose how much caffeine it contains. This makes it impossible for this SlimBody XP review to determine if there is enough caffeine in SlimBody XP diet pills to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Bitter Orange contains <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/" >Synephrine</a>, a clinically proven ingredient. The most important thing to note with Synephrine is the concentration. The higher the concentration of Synephrine the more effective it is in contributing to weight loss. Again, SlimBody XP fails to disclose the concentration of Synephrine contained.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green Tea</a> is another proven ingredient. Since green tea is contained in a proprietary blend, there is no way of knowing if there is enough contained in SlimBody XP diet pills to cause weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/cayenne-review/" >Cayenne Pepper</a> improves digestion. More research is needed to determine the effect of Cayenne on weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guarana-yeba-mate-and-damiana-gyd-review/" >Damiana </a>causes weight loss when combined with <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guarana-yeba-mate-and-damiana-gyd-review/" >Guarana and Yerba Mate</a>. SlimBody XP contains Guarana but not Yerba Mate.</p>
<p>Sasparilla Leaf</p>
<p>Goldenseal Leaf</p>
<p>Nettles Leaf</p>
<p>Gotu Kols</p>
<p>Spirulina</p>
<p>Royal Jelly</p>
<h3>SlimBody XP Cost</h3>
<p>SlimBody XP diet pills cost $39.95 for 60 capsules. If you take the maximum recommended dosage of 3 capsules per day, one bottle will last 20 days. This is quite expensive for a diet pill. Since SlimBody XP fails to disclose how much of the proven ingredients are included, any amount is too much to pay for SlimBody XP.</p>
<h3>SlimBody XP Guarantee</h3>
<p>SlimBody XP offers a 30 day guarantee. They give a full refund or 150% product credit for returns. Be sure you will need the guarantee if you buy SlimBody XP.</p>
<h3>SlimBody XP Conclusion</h3>
<p>This SlimBody XP review finds SlimBody XP is not worth your time or money. It is typical of so many diet pills; SlimBody XP hides the amount of proven ingredients included, most likely because they include very small amounts of each ingredient. Do yourself a favor and find a diet pill that includes proven ingredients in the necessary amounts.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green Tea</a> is another proven ingredient. Since green tea is contained in a proprietary blend, there is no way of knowing if there is enough contained in SlimBody XP diet pills to cause weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/cayenne-review/" >Cayenne Pepper</a> improves digestion. More research is needed to determine the effect of Cayenne on weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guarana-yeba-mate-and-damiana-gyd-review/" >Damiana </a>causes weight loss when combined with <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guarana-yeba-mate-and-damiana-gyd-review/" >Guarana and Yerba Mate</a>. SlimBody XP contains Guarana but not Yerba Mate.</p>
<p>Sasparilla Leaf</p>
<p>Goldenseal Leaf</p>
<p>Nettles Leaf</p>
<p>Gotu Kols</p>
<p>Spirulina</p>
<p>Royal Jelly</p>
<h3>SlimBody XP Cost</h3>
<p>SlimBody XP diet pills cost $39.95 for 60 capsules. If you take the maximum recommended dosage of 3 capsules per day, one bottle will last 20 days. This is quite expensive for a diet pill. Since SlimBody XP fails to disclose how much of the proven ingredients are included, any amount is too much to pay for SlimBody XP.</p>
<h3>SlimBody XP Guarantee</h3>
<p>SlimBody XP offers a 30 day guarantee. They give a full refund or 150% product credit for returns. Be sure you will need the guarantee if you buy SlimBody XP.</p>
<h3>SlimBody XP Conclusion</h3>
<p>This SlimBody XP review finds SlimBody XP is not worth your time or money. It is typical of so many diet pills; SlimBody XP hides the amount of proven ingredients included, most likely because they include very small amounts of each ingredient. Do yourself a favor and find a diet pill that includes proven ingredients in the necessary amounts.</p>

It is a diuretic diet pill (it will basically keep you on the toilet).  This Hydro Burn review finds Hydro Burn is a subpar diet pill that does not give real weight loss results.</p>
<h3>Hydro Burn Ingredients</h3>
<ul>
<li><span style="x-small;"><span style="x-small;">Hydroxynol (50% hydroxycitrate) 2050mg<br />
</span></span><span style="x-small;"><span style="x-small;"> </span></span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="x-small;"><span style="x-small;"> Bitter Orange Extract (334 mg) contains </span></span><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/" >synephrine</a><span style="x-small;"><span style="x-small;">, which has been shown to contribute to weight loss. The most important thing to note with synephrine is the concentration&#8211;the higher the concentration the more effective the synephrine. Hydro Burn does not disclose the concentration of synephrine it contains.</span></span></li>
<li><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guarana-yeba-mate-and-damiana-gyd-review/" >Guarana </a><span style="x-small;"><span style="x-small;">Extract (22% caffeine) (910mg) has been shown to contribute to weight loss, but ONLY when combined with Yerba Mate and Damiana. Hydro Burn does not contain Yerba Mate or Damiana. Thus, this Hydro Burn review finds the Guarana in Hydro Burn diet pills will not cause weight loss.</span></span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="x-small;"><span style="x-small;"> Salicin Complex 100mg</span></span></li>
<li><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/carnitine-review/" >L-Carnitine</a><span style="x-small;"><span style="x-small;"> (100mg) is supposed to help break down fats; however, research has not proven this.</span></span></li>
<li><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/" >Chromium Picolinate </a><span style="x-small;"><span style="x-small;">(300mcg) has shown varying results in clinical trials. Some studies have shown chromium contributes to weight loss, but other studies have shown the opposite.</span></span></li>
<li><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/cayenne-review/" >Cayenne</a><span style="x-small;"><span style="x-small;"> Extract (50mg) is often used to remedy digestive problems. More research needs to be done to determine the effects of cayenne on weight loss.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="x-small;"><span style="x-small;"> Urva Ursi (50mg) is used to treat various maladies including bladder infection. Research shows Uva Ursi can have unsafe interactions with diuretics (like dandelion). It does not contribute to weight loss.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="x-small;"><span style="x-small;"> Dandelion (50mg) is a diuretic. It does not cause weight loss.</span></span></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Hydro Burn Cost</h3>
<p>Hydro Burn diet pills cost $24.23 for 160 capsules. If you take the maximum dosage of 12 capsules per day, one bottle will last 13 days. This is quite expensive, especially considering Hydro Burn does not contain proven ingredients in proven amounts. Don&#8217;t bother with Hydro Burn; look for a diet pill with proven ingredients in proven amounts.</p>
<h3>Hydro Burn Guarantee</h3>
<p>Universal Nutrition (maker of Hydro Burn diet pills) does not have a guarantee for Hydro Burn. Some websites that sell Hydro Burn have their own guarantee and return policies. If you do decide to try Hydro Burn, be sure you know the return policy of the company you purchase from; you will probably need it.</p>
<h3>Hydro Burn Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Hydro Burn review finds Hydro Burn is another run-of-the mill diet pill. It does not include proven ingredients in proven amounts; look for a diet pill that does. Stay away from Hydro Burn. It won&#8217;t give you the results you are looking for. Hydro Burn will probably keep you on the toilet, but it won&#8217;t give you lasting weight loss results.</p>

They claim, &#8220;With JavaFit Diet Plus, you can increase metabolic rate, burn more fat, suppress your appetite and exercise longer&#8221; (website). This JavaFit Diet Plus review will examine the ingredients in JavaFit Diet Plus and help you see what you can really expect from this product.</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>JavaFit Diet Plus Ingredients</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/" >Chromium Picolinate</a> has shown varying results in clinical trials. Some studies have shown chromium picolinate contributes to weight loss, while other studies have shown the opposite.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/garcinia-cambogia-review/" >Garcinia Cambogia</a> has been proven to contribute to weight loss. However, since JavaFit Diet Plus fails to list how much garcinia cambogia it includes, it is impossible for this JavaFit Diet Plus review to determine if there is enough garcinia cambogia to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/advantra-z-review/" >Advantra-Z</a> contains <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/" >synephrine</a>, which has been proven to contribute to weight loss. When it comes to synephrine, the important thing is the concentration&#8211;the higher the better. JavaFit Diet Plus fails to list the concentration of synephrine it contains.</p>
<p>Extra Caffeine (1 mg) <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2007/caffeine/" >Caffeine </a>has been shown to contribute to weight loss. However, 1 mg isn&#8217;t going to do much.</p>
<h3>JavaFit Diet Plus Cost</h3>
<p>JavaFit Diet Plus costs $24.99 for a 24 pack. If you drink the recommended 2 cups per day, one pack will last you 12 days. This is quite expensive for a diet product. This JavaFit Diet Plus review finds JavaFit Diet Plus does contain several proven ingredients, but they fail to disclose how much of each ingredient is included. For real weight loss results, look for a diet pill that includes proven ingredients in sufficient amounts.</p>
<h3>JavaFit Diet Plus Guarantee</h3>
<p>JavaFit Diet Plus offers a 30 day money back guarantee. If you want to return JavaFit Diet Plus, you must first contact customer service for a return authorization number. JavaFit Diet Plus must be returned in its original packaging for a refund, otherwise you will only be able exchange it for another product.</p>
<h3>JavaFit Diet Plus Marketing</h3>
<p>The JavaFit Diet Plus website does have some good information about the pros and cons of caffeine and coffee as well as research results about the effects of coffee. However, they fail to give enough detailed information about the product itself.</p>
<p>The JavaFit Diet Plus website contains the typical testimonials you see on every diet product website. Who&#8217;s to say whether the testimonials are genuine or fabricated in order to sell more of the product.</p>
<h3>JavaFit Diet Plus Conclusion</h3>
<p>This JavaFit Diet Plus review finds JavaFit Diet Plus is not worth your money. While it does contain some proven ingredients, Java Fit Diet Plus fails to disclose how much of each ingredient is included. Do yourself a favor and look for a diet pill that includes proven ingredients in proven amounts.</p>

<ul>
<li>&#8220;Increases your energy</li>
<li>Controls your appetite</li>
<li>Burns fat safely and effectively&#8221; (website).</li>
</ul>
<p>This Dynaslim Diet Patch Review will discuss the lack of customer service and the unprofessional website to reveal the bad and ugly (since there is no good) about Dynaslim Diet Patch.</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.

<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>Dynaslim Diet Patch Ingredients</h3>
<p>Fucus vesiculosis is brown algae and is supposed to improve thyroid performance. However, no human studies have been done on Fucus vesiculosis.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/garcinia-cambogia-review/" >Garcinia cambogia</a> has been shown to contribute to weight loss. However, Dynaslim Diet Patch does not state how much garcinia cambogia it contains. Further, there have not been sufficient studies done on the effect of patches on weight loss.</p>
<p><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. Dynaslim Diet Patch does not contain Yerba Mate or Damiana. Thus, this Dynaslim Diet Patch review finds the Guarana contained in Dynaslim Diet Patch will not be effective in contributing to weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/" >Chromium Picolinate </a>has had varying results in clinical trials. Some studies have shown chromium picolinate contributes to weight loss while other studies have shown the opposite.</p>
<h3>Dynaslim Diet Patch Cost</h3>
<p>Dynaslim Diet Patch costs $18.95 for a one month supply. This is inexpensive for a diet product, but since there is NO reason to believe Dynaslim Diet Patch will do anything for weight loss, any amount is too much. Although there is a link on the Dynaslim Diet Patch website, you cannot purchase the product from the website.</p>
<h3>Dynaslim Diet Patch Marketing and Website</h3>
<p>The Dynaslim Diet Patch website says you will get a free yoga or pilates workout program when you purchase Dynaslim Diet Patch&#8211;at least you will get something for your $18.95.</p>
<p>The Dynaslim Diet Patch website is pathetic. It is hard to read and very unprofessional. In addition, much of the information it contains is incorrect. For example, the customer service number listed actually goes to a satellite dish company. There is a link to another Dynaslim Diet Patch website, but the site does not exist. There is no guarantee listed on the website, and considering there is no way to contact customer service, it is unlikely that there is any guarantee.</p>
<h3>Dynaslim Diet Patch Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Dynaslim Diet Patch review finds that Dynaslim Diet Patch is a waste of time and money. There is no evidence to show Dynaslim Diet Patch will actually work. The unprofessional nature of the Dynaslim Diet Patch website as well as the non-working links and phone numbers don&#8217;t help the Dynaslim Diet Patch cause. Stay away from patches in general&#8211;they do not work. Instead, go with a diet pill that includes proven ingredients in proven amounts, one that can be backed by science.</p>

<ul>
<li>&#8220;Increases your energy</li>
<li>Controls your appetite</li>
<li>Burns fat safely and effectively&#8221; (website).</li>
</ul>
<p>This Dynaslim Diet Patch Review will discuss the lack of customer service and the unprofessional website to reveal the bad and ugly (since there is no good) about Dynaslim Diet Patch.</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>Dynaslim Diet Patch Ingredients</h3>
<p>Fucus vesiculosis is brown algae and is supposed to improve thyroid performance. However, no human studies have been done on Fucus vesiculosis.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/garcinia-cambogia-review/" >Garcinia cambogia</a> has been shown to contribute to weight loss. However, Dynaslim Diet Patch does not state how much garcinia cambogia it contains. Further, there have not been sufficient studies done on the effect of patches on weight loss.</p>
<p><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. Dynaslim Diet Patch does not contain Yerba Mate or Damiana. Thus, this Dynaslim Diet Patch review finds the Guarana contained in Dynaslim Diet Patch will not be effective in contributing to weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/" >Chromium Picolinate </a>has had varying results in clinical trials. Some studies have shown chromium picolinate contributes to weight loss while other studies have shown the opposite.</p>
<h3>Dynaslim Diet Patch Cost</h3>
<p>Dynaslim Diet Patch costs $18.95 for a one month supply. This is inexpensive for a diet product, but since there is NO reason to believe Dynaslim Diet Patch will do anything for weight loss, any amount is too much. Although there is a link on the Dynaslim Diet Patch website, you cannot purchase the product from the website.</p>
<h3>Dynaslim Diet Patch Marketing and Website</h3>
<p>The Dynaslim Diet Patch website says you will get a free yoga or pilates workout program when you purchase Dynaslim Diet Patch&#8211;at least you will get something for your $18.95.</p>
<p>The Dynaslim Diet Patch website is pathetic. It is hard to read and very unprofessional. In addition, much of the information it contains is incorrect. For example, the customer service number listed actually goes to a satellite dish company. There is a link to another Dynaslim Diet Patch website, but the site does not exist. There is no guarantee listed on the website, and considering there is no way to contact customer service, it is unlikely that there is any guarantee.</p>

This Ephedra Hoodia Fusion review will reveal the hidden ingredients in Ephedra Hoodia Fusion diet pills as well as discuss the pros and cons of ephedra.</p>
<h3>Ephedra Hoodia Fusion Ingredients</h3>
<p>The following are the ingredients found in Ephedra Hoodia Fusion diet pills. This list is NOT on the Ephedra Hoodia Fusion website. We obtained this ingredient list by calling Customer Service.</p>
<p>Vitamin B6 4 mg<br />
Vitamin B12 12 mg<br />
Chromium Picolinate 120 mcg<br />
Ephedra 10 mg<br />
Hoodia Gordonii 5 mg<br />
Caffeine 250 mg<br />
Salicylate 150 mg (willow bark)<br />
Bitter orange 100 mg<br />
Proprietary Blend 400 mg<br />
Green tea<br />
Ginger root<br />
Bladderwrak<br />
Citrus</p>
<p>Vitamins B6 and B12 contribute to a healthy diet, but they have not been shown to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/" >Chromium</a> is an ingredient with controversial results from clinical studies. Some studies have found chromium to contribute to weight loss while other studies have found it does not.</p>
<p>Ephedra is a very effective weight loss ingredient. However, ephedra has been banned by the FDA because of its serious and sometimes even deadly side effects. We cannot recommend any diet pill containing ephedra. Make certain you understand all the possible risks and side effects of ephedra before choosing a product containing ephedra.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2007/hoodia-gordonii/" >Hoodia gordonii</a> is a very overrated diet pill ingredient. There is NO scientific proof that hoodia actually contributes to weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2007/caffeine/" >Caffeine </a>has been proven to contribute to weight loss, but only when used in a dose of 300 mg or more per day. Thus, this Ephedra Hoodia Fusion review finds the amount of caffeine in Ephedra Hoodia Fusion diet pills is not enough to cause weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green tea</a> is a proven diet pill ingredient. Unfortunately, Ephedra Hoodia Fusion includes green tea in a proprietary blend, making it impossible to know if there is enough green tea to be effective.</p>
<h3>Ephedra Hoodia Fusion Free Sample</h3>
<p>Ephedra Hoodia Fusion offers a free sample if you pay $4.97 for the shipping. By signing up for the free sample, you also become enrolled in autoship (they automatically ship the product every month and charge your credit card $69.45).  You can cancel within 14 days to avoid being charged.</p>
<p>The details of the free sample are hidden in the small print. Customers could easily be mislead by the wording on the main page and be surprised when they are charged for Ephedra Hoodia Fusion diet pills.</p>
<h3>Ephedra Hoodia Fusion Customer Service</h3>
<p>The Ephedra Hoodia Fusion website lists a Delaware mailing address to contact the company. Interestingly, their customer service number has Pacific Standard Time hours. When you call the customer service number, the recording that picks up is a woman with an English accent.</p>
<p>The customer service agent I spoke with had little or no knowledge about Ephedra Hoodia Fusion. When I asked him what the ingredients were, he put me on hold for several minutes. When he came back on the line, he tried to read the list of ingredients but could not pronounce them. Although I have written nearly 200 diet pill reviews, I could not figure out what the ingredients were he was trying to say. I had to have him spell nearly every ingredient.</p>
<p>I asked if there was a non autoship option. He told me there is a non autoship option (although it is not listed on the website), and he even offered it to me for half price. I guess this means if you are considering Ephedra Hoodia Fusion diet pills, call customer service to get it for half price.</p>
<h3>Ephedra Hoodia Fusion Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Ephedra Hoodia Fusion review finds this is a product that definitely should not be taken without serious consideration. The side effects of ephedra can be extremely serious and possibly deadly. The amounts of the other proven ingredients are not enough to cause weight loss. The deceptive and uninformed nature of the Ephedra Hoodia Fusion website and customer service are enough to keep us from recommending this product. Look for an alternative diet pill, perhaps one containing synephrine.</p>
