		<description><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-652" title="size-0" src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/size-0.jpg" alt="" width="149" height="149" />Size 0 is &#8220;the only supplement you need to achieve that sexy, youthful figure and regain your energy for life, fast!&#8221; (website). This Size 0 review will break down the claims made by Size 0 as well as give an in-depth look at the Size 0 ingredients to show you what you can honestly expect from Size 0 diet pills.</p>
<h3>Size 0 Ingredients</h3>
<p>Weight Loss Support Blend 785 mg (Thermogenic/Metabolic Accelerator)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/caffeine-anhydrous-review/" >Caffeine Anhydrous</a> is merely dried caffeine. It has been proven to contribute to weight loss. However, since Size 0 includes caffeine anhydrous in a proprietary blend, there is no way to know if there is enough to be effective.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green Tea </a>Extract has also been proven to contribute to weight loss. For green tea to be effective, it has to be taken in doses of at least 300 mg per day. It is very unlikely that there is enough green tea in Size 0 diet pills to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guarana-yeba-mate-and-damiana-gyd-review/" >Yerba Mate</a> has been shown to contribute to weight loss, but ONLY when combined with Damiana and Guarana. Size 0 does not contain Damiana or Guarana.</p>
<p>Green Coffee Bean Extract inhibits weight loss in mice, but human studies have not been done.</p>
<p>Cordia Salisifolia Extract (Cha de Bugre) Although cordia salisifolia is included in many diet pills, there is no scientific evidence that it actually contributes to weight loss.</p>
<p>Cocoa Extract is a feel-good ingredient; it does not directly contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Taurine is often added to energy drinks, but studies have shown it has no effect on energy levels.</p>
<p>Citrus Naringin</p>
<p>Appetite Support Complex 17 mg (Food Craving Support Nutrients)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2007/hoodia-gordonii/" >Hoodia Gordonii</a> DOES NOT contribute to weight loss, although many diet pill companies claim it does.</p>
<p>Smithin Jojoba Seed Extract</p>
<p>Griffoniosimplicifolia Seed Extract</p>
<p>Beauty Support Blend 11 mg (Hair, Skin and Nails Nutrients)</p>
<p>Horsetail Leaf Extract</p>
<p>Hyaluronic Acid</p>
<p>Collagen, according to many diet pill companies, is supposed to reduce body fat. However, studies have not been able to prove this theory.</p>
<p>Choline is supposed to reduce body fat (according to diet pill companies), but science has not proven it.</p>
<p>Silica</p>
<p>Inositol helps transport fat from the liver. Size 0 does not list how much Inositol it contains.</p>
<p>Biotin is Vitamin B-7; it does not contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>L-Cyctione</p>
<p>L-Methionine helps break down fats. You should not supplement with Methionine unless your doctor directs you to do so.</p>
<p>Coenzyme Q10</p>
<p>Chamomile Flower Leaf Extract</p>
<p>Estrogen Support Complex 4 mg (Hormonal Balancing Nutrients)</p>
<p>Choste Tree Berry</p>
<p>Daidzen</p>
<p>Dong Quai Root</p>
<p>Vitex Agnus Costus</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t be impressed or overwhelmed by the long list of ingredients included in Size 0. It merely means they have put in a VERY small amount of each ingredient. Size 0 does include a few proven ingredients, but odds are there is not enough of any ingredient to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<h3>Size 0 Cost</h3>
<p>A one month supply of Size 0 diet pills costs $49.95. This is extremely expensive, especially since Size 0 fails to list how much of each ingredient is included, making it impossible to predict how effective Size 0 will be.</p>
<h3>Size 0 Guarantee</h3>
<p>Size 0 has a 6 month guarantee policy. You can even return open bottles (although if you have used more than half the bottle they will only refund the amount of the unused portion). This seems like a pretty good guarantee.</p>
<h3>Size 0 Marketing</h3>
<p>The Size 0 website is incomplete. They claim they have made a &#8220;scientific breakthrough.&#8221; However, under the section titled &#8220;Size 0 Science&#8221;, there is no information. I would be interested to see what research they cite, since all the research we have seen (which is a considerable amount) says there is no possible way the proven ingredients in Size 0 could have been included in adequate amounts to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>It is interesting that Size 0 is enticing people to get back their &#8220;sexy, youthful figure&#8221; when they use what looks like a teenage model. Do they really expect people to believe they will look like the model if they use Size 0 (because the only way to get your body looking like the model&#8217;s is to go back in time)?</p>
<h3>Size 0 Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Size 0 review finds Size 0 diet pills are nothing out of the ordinary; they include a few proven ingredients, but not in large enough amounts to actually cause weight loss. Don&#8217;t waste your time on pills like these. Find a diet pill that includes proven ingredients in appropriate amounts.</p>

This NV review will focus on the weight loss capabilities of NV diet pills to help you see just what you can expect in weight loss from NV. </span></p>
<h3>NV Ingredients</h3>
<p>Weight Loss Complex</p>
<p>Proprietary Blend 267 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 found that for green to be effective, it has to be taken in doses of at least 300 mg per day. Since there are only 267 mg total, this NV review finds it is impossible for NV diet pills to have enough green tea to be effective.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2007/hoodia-gordonii/" >Hoodia gordonii</a>, despite the claims made by countless diet pill companies as well as celebrities, has NOT been proven to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Theobromine is sometimes used as a diuretic. There is no proof that it contributes to weight loss.</p>
<p>Beauty Complex</p>
<p>Collagen is supposed to make skin look younger. Some diet pill companies claim it reduces body fat; there is no scientific evidence to back up this claim.</p>
<p>Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA) is needed by the body to produce energy. However, the body produces plenty of ALA, so you don&#8217;t need to supplement with it.</p>
<p>Silica may actually cause drying of the skin.</p>
<p>Biotin is Vitamin B-7.</p>
<p>Coenzyme Q10</p>
<p>Energy Complex</p>
<p>Taurine is often added to energy drinks. However, studies have shown it does NOT affect energy.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/ginseng-review/" >Ginseng </a>has been shown to contribute to weight loss in mice and rats, but more human studies need to be done to determine the effects on human weight loss.</p>
<p>Rhodiola Rosea may help improve mood.</p>
<p>The only clinically proven ingredient in NV diet pills is green tea. However, there is not enough green tea contained in NV to be effective in contributing to weight loss.</p>
<p>Thus, this NV review finds NV will not cause weight loss. You might experience skin improvements, but do not expect to lose weight by taking NV; you will only be disappointed.</p>
<h3>NV Marketing</h3>
<p>NV has employed Carmen Electra to be their spokesperson. Don&#8217;t be fooled; just because a celebrity endorses a product doesn&#8217;t mean it will actually work (look at hoodia, for example). The NV claims about weight loss are untrue; the science has proved them false.</p>
<h3>NV Cost</h3>
<p>NV diet pills cost $26.99 per month. While this is relatively inexpensive for a diet pill, considering NV contains only ONE proven ingredient (green tea), and it is not included in a necessary amount, there is no reason to pay anything for NV diet pills. You will only be disappointed.</p>
<h3>NV Guarantee</h3>
<p>The NV website says nothing about a guarantee, which means there most likely isn&#8217;t one. This is just one more reason to stay away from NV.</p>
<h3>NV Conclusion</h3>
<p>This NV review finds this is a subpar product. It contains only ONE proven ingredient and it is not included in a necessary amount. NV cannot substantiate their claims; the science proves them wrong. Save yourself some time, money, and grief. Go with a diet pill that includes proven ingredients in proven amounts.</p>
