This QuickTrim Fast Cleanse review will give you the skinny on the truth about QuickTrim Fast Cleanse.</p>

<p>Don&#8217;t be too impressed by the lengthy list of ingredients contained in QuickTrim Fast Cleanse. The truth is that NONE of the ingredients has been proven to contribute to cause weight loss. The ingredients in QuickTrim Fast Cleanse are healthy ingredients, but they will not cause significant long term weight loss.<br />
<br />
Taking QuickTrim Fast Cleanse will most likely land you on the toilet for several days. Therefore, you could lose some weight right away, but it is just water weight and will come back right away.</p>
<p>If you are just looking to fit into a sensational dress for a night, maybe QuickTrim Fast Cleanse is for you, but you can be sure it won&#8217;t be a pleasant process and it won&#8217;t cause lasting weight loss.</p>
<h3>QuickTrim Fast Cleanse Cost</h3>
<p>QuickTrim Fast Cleanse costs $29.99 per bottle. One bottle lasts two days. This QuickTrim Fast Cleanse review finds this is too expensive for this product. There is no clinical evidence to prove QuickTrim Fast Cleanse will really cause weight loss.</p>
<h3>QuickTrim Fast Cleanse Guarantee</h3>
<p>QuickTrim does not actually sell QuickTrim Fast Cleanse. You have to purchase through a third party. Therefore, QuickTrim does not offer a guarantee. Check with the individual retailer to find out if they offer their own guarantee.</p>
<h3>QuickTrim Fast Cleanse Marketing</h3>
<p>The QuickTrim website is packed with pictures of the Kardashian sisters in skimpy clothing. In addition, they claim QuickTrim Fast Cleanse is used by many celebrities. Even if this is true, just because a celebrity endorses or uses a product doesn&#8217;t mean it is actually worth buying.  In fact, in most cases, they&#8217;re the ones making money off of it.</p>
<h3>QuickTrim Fast Cleanse Conclusion</h3>
<p>This QuickTrim Fast Cleanse review finds QuickTrim Fast Cleanse is probably not the product for you. Unless you are looking to spend the next few days on the toilet, you don&#8217;t want to take QuickTrim Fast Cleanse. True, it might cause you to lose a little water weight, but it will NOT be long lasting. If you are looking to fit into that perfect dress, maybe you&#8217;ll want to try QuickTrim Fast Cleanse. Otherwise, look for a diet pill that includes clinically proven ingredients in the necessary amounts.</p>

This 72 Hour Slimming Pill review will detail the ingredients in 72 Hour Slimming Pill and give you the straight truth on what this product will really do for you.</p>
<h3>72 Hour Slimming Pill Ingredients</h3>
<p>Dandelion root<br />
Uva Ursi is used to treat diarrhea, headaches, and bladder infections. There is concern of a possible drug interaction when Uva Ursi is combined with diuretics like Buchu and Juniper.<br />
Buchu has been proven to cause weight loss in mice, but there is no evidence that it does anything to cause weight loss in humans.<br />
Juniper Berry does cause weight loss in mice, but not in humans.<br />
Cornsilk<br />
Couch grass<br />
Parsley<br />
Stinging nettle<br />
Cranberry<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/cayenne-review/">Cayenne</a> may cause weight loss, but more research is needed.<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/ginger-review-is-ginger-effective-in-diet-pills/">Ginger</a> has been shown to contribute to weight loss in mice but not in humans.<br />
Milk thistle<br />
Vitamin B6 is important to good health, but it does not cause weight loss.<br />
Magnesium does not cause weight loss.<br />
Potassium Citrate does not cause weight loss.<br />
<br />
There is no real scientific evidence that 72 Hour Slimming Pill actually causes weight loss. In all reality, it might keep you  on the toilet for three days and cause short term weight loss. The website does state, &#8220;Some customers experience more frequent bowel movements.&#8221;  Don&#8217;t be fooled, though, 72 Hour Slimming Pill is not the answer to your long term weight loss goals.</p>
<h3>72 Hour Slimming Pill Cost</h3>
<p>72 Hour Slimming Pill costs $12.99 per bottle. There is a discount for bulk purchases. Each bottle contains a 30 day supply; you should wait 30 days between bottles of 72 Hour Slimming Pill.<br />
<br />
The price for 72 Hour Slimming Pill really isn&#8217;t too bad as diet pills go. However, there is no scientific evidence to prove that 72 Hour Slimming Pill actually works, so any amount of money is too much to pay for this product.<br />
<br />
Also, there is NO guarantee on 72 Hour Slimming Pill, so don&#8217;t expect to get your money back. If you do decide to buy 72 Hour Slimming Pill, we would suggest buying just 1 bottle so you aren&#8217;t out so much money if (when) it doesn&#8217;t work.</p>
<h3>72 Hour Slimming Pill Conclusion</h3>
<p>So, the question is: Will 72 Hour Slimming Pill actually cause weight loss? This 72 Hour Slimming Pill review finds 72 Hour Slimming Pill might cause temporary weight loss, but it will keep you on the toilet for at least three days.<br />
<br />
You will mostly be losing water weight, so you will see the scale go back up within a few days or weeks of taking 72 Hour Slimming Pill. For real weight loss, go with a diet pill that contains clinically proven ingredients in the appropriate amounts. 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/thyroslim-ampm.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-828" title="thyroslim-ampm" src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/thyroslim-ampm.jpg" alt="" width="151" height="151" /></a>Thyro-Slim supposedly, &#8220;Burns fat, boosts metabolism, controls appetite, eliminates excess water, boosts energy, supports thyroid function, regulates blood sugar levels and adrenal function, improves sleep and detoxifies your system&#8221; (website). This Thyro-Slim AM/PM review shows that there is no truth behind the claims made about Thyro-Slim. It simply will not cause weight loss.</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>Thyro-Slim AM Ingredients</h3>
<p>Selenium (100 mcg) does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Copper (2 mg) does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/" >Chromium </a>(100 mcg) has shown conflicting results in clinical trials.</p>
<p>Energizing Blend (455 mg)</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. Thyro-Slim AM does not contain either Yerba Mate or Damiana. Thus, this Thyro-Slim review finds the Guarana in Thyro-Slim will NOT cause weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green tea</a> has been proven to contribute to weight loss when used in doses of 300 mg per day or more. Thyro-Slim AM includes green tea in a proprietary blend, so there is no way of knowing if it contains enough green tea to be effective.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/garcinia-cambogia-review/" >Garcinia Cambogia</a> (500 mg) has been shown to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Green orange fruit extract Citrus Aurantium (200 mg) contains <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/" >synephrine</a>, which has been proven to contribute to weight loss. However, the most important thing to note with synephrine is the concentration&#8211;the higher the better. Thyro Slim AM fails to list the concentration of synephrine it contains.</p>
<p>Thyrogenic T-3 Complex (250 mg)</p>
<p>Gugglipid supposedly increases thyroid function, but studies have shown varying results.</p>
<p>Bladderwrack kelp</p>
<p>Atlantic kelp</p>
<p>Sargassi seaweed</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/l-tyrosine-review/" >L-Tyrosine</a> (175 mg) contributes to weight loss, but only when used in doses of 500 to 1500 mg per day. Thyro-Slim AM diet pills do not contain nearly enough L-Tyrosine to cause weight loss.</p>
<p>White Willow Bark (100 mg) is an anti-inflammatory. It has not been shown to cause weight loss.</p>
<p>The only proven ingredient included in the necessary amount is garcinia cambogia. Thus, this Thyro-Slim AM/PM review finds Thyro-Slim AM diet pills are not worth taking.</p>
<h3>Thyro-Slim PM Ingredients</h3>
<p>Vitamin B6 (10 mg)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/" >Chromium </a>(100 mcg) has shown varying results in clinical trials.</p>
<p>Soothing Herbal Blend (100 mg)</p>
<p>Wild Jujube Seed</p>
<p>Chamomile Flower</p>
<p>Passion Flower</p>
<p>Cleansing Blend (250 mg)</p>
<p>Senna Leaf</p>
<p>Rhubarb root</p>
<p>Cascara Sagrada Bark</p>
<p>Cassia</p>
<p>St. John&#8217;s Bread</p>
<p>Apple fruit</p>
<p>Tamarind fruit</p>
<p>Date fruit</p>
<p>Fig fruit</p>
<p>Water Balance Blend (250 mg)</p>
<p>Uva Ursi has actually been shown to have dangerous interactions with diuretics like Buchu and Juniper (which are both contained in Thyro-Slim PM diet pills.</p>
<p>Dandelion Root</p>
<p>Cranberry fruit</p>
<p>Buchu leaf</p>
<p>Cornsilk</p>
<p>Couchgrass herb</p>
<p>Hydrangea</p>
<p>Juniper</p>
<p>Artichoke</p>
<p>Restoration &amp; Adrenal Support Blend (200 mg)</p>

<p>Thyro-Slim PM diet pills contain NO proven ingredients. They are not worth your time or money.</p>
<h3>Thyro-Slim AM/PM Cost</h3>
<p>A 21-day supply of Thyro-Slim AM/PM costs $24.99.This is not especially expensive for a diet pill, but considering there is only ONE proven ingredient in Thyro-Slim, any amount is too much to pay.</p>
<h3>Thyro-Slim AM/PM Marketing</h3>
<p>Thyro-Slim is manufactured by Maximum Human Performance (MHP). The MHP website is full of photos of bulging biceps and unbelievable testimonials. Don&#8217;t be fooled by their marketing. Thyro-Slim will do nothing for weight loss. Don&#8217;t waste your money on it.</p>
<h3>Thyro-Slim AM/PM Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Thyro-Slim AM/PM review finds Thyro-Slim is nothing special. Between the two formulas there is only ONE proven ingredient contained in a proven amount. Thyro-Slim will not give you the results you are looking for. Find a diet pill that contains proven ingredients in proven amounts; our recommended products are a great place to start.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/thyroslim-ampm.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-828" title="thyroslim-ampm" src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/thyroslim-ampm.jpg" alt="" width="151" height="151" /></a>Thyro-Slim supposedly, &#8220;Burns fat, boosts metabolism, controls appetite, eliminates excess water, boosts energy, supports thyroid function, regulates blood sugar levels and adrenal function, improves sleep and detoxifies your system&#8221; (website). This Thyro-Slim AM/PM review shows that there is no truth behind the claims made about Thyro-Slim. It simply will not cause weight loss.</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>Thyro-Slim AM Ingredients</h3>
<p>Selenium (100 mcg) does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Copper (2 mg) does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/" >Chromium </a>(100 mcg) has shown conflicting results in clinical trials.</p>
<p>Energizing Blend (455 mg)</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. Thyro-Slim AM does not contain either Yerba Mate or Damiana. Thus, this Thyro-Slim review finds the Guarana in Thyro-Slim will NOT cause weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green tea</a> has been proven to contribute to weight loss when used in doses of 300 mg per day or more. Thyro-Slim AM includes green tea in a proprietary blend, so there is no way of knowing if it contains enough green tea to be effective.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/garcinia-cambogia-review/" >Garcinia Cambogia</a> (500 mg) has been shown to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Green orange fruit extract Citrus Aurantium (200 mg) contains <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/" >synephrine</a>, which has been proven to contribute to weight loss. However, the most important thing to note with synephrine is the concentration&#8211;the higher the better. Thyro Slim AM fails to list the concentration of synephrine it contains.</p>
<p>Thyrogenic T-3 Complex (250 mg)</p>
<p>Gugglipid supposedly increases thyroid function, but studies have shown varying results.</p>
<p>Bladderwrack kelp</p>
<p>Atlantic kelp</p>
<p>Sargassi seaweed</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/l-tyrosine-review/" >L-Tyrosine</a> (175 mg) contributes to weight loss, but only when used in doses of 500 to 1500 mg per day. Thyro-Slim AM diet pills do not contain nearly enough L-Tyrosine to cause weight loss.</p>
<p>White Willow Bark (100 mg) is an anti-inflammatory. It has not been shown to cause weight loss.</p>
<p>The only proven ingredient included in the necessary amount is garcinia cambogia. Thus, this Thyro-Slim AM/PM review finds Thyro-Slim AM diet pills are not worth taking.</p>
<h3>Thyro-Slim PM Ingredients</h3>
<p>Vitamin B6 (10 mg)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/" >Chromium </a>(100 mcg) has shown varying results in clinical trials.</p>
<p>Soothing Herbal Blend (100 mg)</p>
<p>Wild Jujube Seed</p>
<p>Chamomile Flower</p>
<p>Passion Flower</p>
<p>Cleansing Blend (250 mg)</p>
<p>Senna Leaf</p>
<p>Rhubarb root</p>
<p>Cascara Sagrada Bark</p>
<p>Cassia</p>
<p>St. John&#8217;s Bread</p>
<p>Apple fruit</p>
<p>Tamarind fruit</p>
<p>Date fruit</p>
<p>Fig fruit</p>
<p>Water Balance Blend (250 mg)</p>
<p>Uva Ursi has actually been shown to have dangerous interactions with diuretics like Buchu and Juniper (which are both contained in Thyro-Slim PM diet pills.</p>
<p>Dandelion Root</p>
<p>Cranberry fruit</p>
<p>Buchu leaf</p>
<p>Cornsilk</p>
<p>Couchgrass herb</p>
<p>Hydrangea</p>
<p>Juniper</p>
<p>Artichoke</p>
<p>Restoration &amp; Adrenal Support Blend (200 mg)</p>
<p>Licorice root</p>
<p>Astragalus</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/ginger-review-is-ginger-effective-in-diet-pills/" >Ginger</a></p>
<p>Thyrogenic T-3 Complex (250 mg)</p>
<p>Guggulipid</p>
<p>Atlantic kelp</p>
<p>Bladderwrack kelp</p>
<p>Sergassi Seaweed</p>
<p>Thyro-Slim PM diet pills contain NO proven ingredients. They are not worth your time or money.</p>
<h3>Thyro-Slim AM/PM Cost</h3>
<p>A 21-day supply of Thyro-Slim AM/PM costs $24.99.This is not especially expensive for a diet pill, but considering there is only ONE proven ingredient in Thyro-Slim, any amount is too much to pay.</p>

<p>Leptorexin&#8217;s ingredient profile contains both quality, proven ingredients as well as some that aren&#8217;t likely to do much.  Often when we see a long list of ingredients such as this our first reaction is to assume that they aren&#8217;t able to fit enough of each ingredient in the pill to be effective.  With Leptorexin, however, this may or may not be the case.  They use proprietary blends, which is a big turnoff.  But the amounts of those blends (or at least a couple of the blends) appears to possibly be sufficient to be effective.  With all proprietary blends, however, it&#8217;s extremely difficult to give a solid answer as to its probable effectiveness.</p>
<h3>Leptorexin Marketing</h3>
<p>The first that we noticed is that <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=leptorexin" rel="nofollow">Leptorexin</a> looked incredibly familiar.  Well if you look at PatenTrim, you may feel the same way.  It looks like Leptorexin has copied many of the design features of PatenTrim.  I&#8217;m not sure what exactly their strategy was for such a move, but it&#8217;s possible that they are trying to borrow from some of PatenTrim&#8217;s credibility.</p>
<p>Aside from that, the website is quite open about the ingredients (although they do use proprietary blends) and has some basic details about most of them.  We like that.  They do, however, use the overly abused TV logos, trying to make you think that they&#8217;ve been featured on them.  That&#8217;s highly unlikely.</p>
<h3>The Leptorexin Guarantee</h3>
<p>They have a 100% lifetime money back guarantee.  You can only return unopened bottles, but this is still much better than almost all of the other guarantees out there.</p>
<h3>Leptorexin Cost</h3>
<p>For one bottle it&#8217;s $59.99.</p>
<h3>Leptorexin Conclusion</h3>
<p>The ingredient profile in Leptorexin contains a myriad of ingredients.  Some are good, some are mediocre.  We like their great guarantee and if the pill is effective, the price isn&#8217;t too bad.  It&#8217;s always hard to fully recommend something that uses proprietary blends, so <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=leptorexin" rel="nofollow">Leptorexin </a>gets a pretty average review.  There may be better solutions out there, but it is likely to help you lose weight.</p>

Studies have shown glucomannan to be effective when used at a dose of 2-4 g per day. Thus, this 7-DFBX review finds there is not enough glucomannan in 7-DFBX diet pills to be effective.<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/flaxseed-review/" ><span class='style24'>Flax seed powder </span></a><br />
<span class="style42">Dandelion Root </span><br />
<span class="style24">Uva Ursi</span> is used to treat headaches and bladder infections. There is evidence that a drug interaction is possible when Uva Ursi is combined with diuretics (like Buchu, Juniper, parsley, and mint leaf).<br />

<span class="style24">Grapefruit Seed </span></p>
<p style="30px;" align="left">7-DFBX is a diuretic (it rids your body of water). So, you might see a little weight loss from using 7-DFBX diet pills, but you will probably be on the toilet a lot. Don&#8217;t count on keeping the weight off either.</p>
<h3>7-DFBX Cost</h3>
<p style="30px;" align="left">7-DFBX costs $19.99 per bottle (for a one week supply). This is very expensive, considering there is no evidence to show that 7-DFBX actually works.</p>
<h3>7-DFBX Guarantee</h3>
<p style="30px;" align="left"><span class="style44">The 7-DFBX website says, &#8220;If you are not satisfied with our product, please return the empty bottle to receive full refund less S&amp;H. If you purchased more than 1 bottle, all other bottles MUST be in unopend, unused, and resellable condition.&#8221; This seems like a pretty good guarantee, although they do not specify how much time you have to return the product for a refund.<br />
</span></p>
<h3>7-DFBX Claims</h3>
<p style="30px;" align="left">7-DFBX claims you can lose up to 21 pounds in one week by taking 7-DFBX diet pills. Anything that promises more than about a pound a day should be questioned. If you do happen to lose some weight when taking 7-DFBX, you won&#8217;t keep the weight off. 7-DFBX does warn to take a week off in between bottles.</p>
<h3>7-DFBX Conclusion</h3>
<p style="30px;" align="left">This 7-DFBX review finds this product is not worth your money. You might experience some weight loss from 7-DFBX, but only because you will be stuck on the toilet. There are more comfortable and more lasting ways to lose weight. Check out our recommended products. They contain proven ingredients in correct amounts.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<h3>7-DFB (Seven day fat burner)</h3>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-656" title="7-dfb1" src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/7-dfb1.jpg" alt="" width="151" height="151" />According to their website, 7-DFB (seven day fat burner) is &#8220;the ONLY Fat Burner in the World that can help YOU Lose 7, 10, 14, Even Up To 21 POUNDS in Just 7-Days&#8221;. They claim the average loser loses 8.75 pounds in 7 days. This 7-DFB review will determine if there is any validity to these lofty claims.<br />
What are the ingredients in 7-DFB?</p>
<p>The following is the ingredient list found on the 7-DFB website</p>
<p>Serving Size: 6 Capsules<br />
Amount per 6 capsule serving</p>
<p>Total carbohydrate 2000 mg<br />
Dietary Fiber      2000 mg<br />
Potassium Gluconate  200 mg<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/" >Chromium Polynicotinat</a>e 2 mg<br />
Dandelion Root  1500 mg<br />
Psyllium Husk   500 mg<br />
Oat Bran Fiber   500 mg<br />
Rice Bran Fiber  500 mg<br />
Uva Ursi   500 mg<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/glucomannan-review/" >Glucomannan</a> 500 mg<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/flaxseed-review/" >Flax seed powder</a> 500 mg<br />
Cranberry   500 mg<br />
Buchu Leaves 4:1  200 mg<br />
Alfalfa   200 mg<br />
Juniper Berries  200 mg<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/garlic-review/" >Garlic</a> 100:1   200 mg<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/ginger-review-is-ginger-effective-in-diet-pills/" >Ginger Root </a> 120 mg<br />
Parsley   100 mg<br />
Mint leaf   100 mg<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/raspberry-ketone-review-effectiveness-of-raspberry-ketone-in-weight-loss/" >Red Raspberry</a> Leaf  70 mg<br />
Lemon Peel   70 mg<br />
Hawthorn Berries  70 mg<br />
Red Clover Leaf  70 mg<br />
Burdock Root   70 mg<br />
Irish Moss   70 mg<br />
Aloe Vera   70 mg<br />
Sage    70 mg<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/cayenne-review/" >Cayenne Pepper</a> 70 mg<br />
Noni    50 mg<br />
Mangosteen   50 mg<br />
Pomegranate   50 mg<br />
Apple Cider Vinegar  50 mg<br />
Grapefruit Seed  50 mg</p>
<p>What a long list of ingredients! The 7-DFB website has a description of each ingredient. In addition to those listed on the bottle, they also list <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/caffeine-anhydrous-review/" >Caffeine Anyhdrous</a>, apple pectin, fennel seed, and goldenseal.<br />
This seems strange since these ingredients are not listed on the bottle.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/" >Chromium Picolinate </a>(chromium + picolinic acid) is pushed by companies as an aid to losing weight. It is known that small quantities of chromium are “needed for glucose utilization by insulin in normal health, but deficiency is extremely rare in developed nations.” ((<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromium_picolinate">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromium_picolinate</a>))<br />
Some claim chromium picolinate reduces insulin resistance and leads to weight loss. However, studies show mixed results.</p>
<h3>Do you have a chromium deficiency? Probably not.</h3>
<p>Glucomannan is a dietary fiber which makes you feel full. Studies have shown it is effective in promoting weight loss, but only if you take 2-4 grams per day. The amount of glucomannan in 7-DFB diet pills is not enough to cause weight loss.</p>
<p>The remainder of the ingredients in 7-DFB might be healthy, but they have no effect on weight loss (unless you call a laxative effect a way to promote weight loss). This 7-DFB review finds there is no ingredient in 7-DFB which has been proven to contribute to weight loss (at least not in proven amounts).<br />
How much does 7-DFB cost?</p>
<p>One bottle of 7-DFB diet pills costs $19.99 for a seven day supply. However, if you join the Orovo club (a multi-level marketing company) you can get a bottle of 7-DFB for about $5 (after you pay full price for one product).</p>
<h3>How should 7-DFB be taken?</h3>
<p>The recommended dosage is 6 capsules twice a day for seven days. Allow 7-days without using the product in between cycles.<br />
What are the side effects of 7-DFB?</p>
<p>Side effects of 7-DFB diet pills include frequent bowel movements, increased heart rate, and nausea.<br />
Is there a guarantee for 7-DFB?</p>
<p>The 7-DFB website says they will give a full refund if you return your empty bottle (plus any unopened bottles). You will receive a &#8220;prompt refund&#8221; minus shipping and handling.</p>
<h3>7-DFB conclusion</h3>
<p>This 7-DFB review finds this is not a typical fat burner. It does not contain ingredients typically contained in fat burners. There are no proven ingredients in 7-DFB diet pills. Any claim that you can lose 21 pounds in seven days should be a huge red flag. Maybe you could lose weight on 7-DFB but it would most likely be because you would be stuck on the toilet for a week. If you really want to lose weight, look for a diet pill that includes proven ingredients in proven amounts.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=leptitrex" rel="nofollow"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-299" title="Leptitrex Bottle" src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/leptitrex-bottle.jpg" alt="" width="126" height="214" /></a><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=leptitrex" rel="nofollow">Leptitrex</a> is a weight loss supplement that claims by taking it you will “Lose 7 Pounds Every 7 Days Effortlessly”. The first thing you will notice about Leptitrex is lengthy list of ingredients; <strong>there are about 50 ingredients in this supplement</strong>.  Leptitrex claims it will not only help you lose weight but it will also detox your body, eliminate acne, feel euphoric, suppress appetite, and build muscle. That is great if you are looking for all of those things, but what if you just want to lose weight?</p>
<h3>Just what is in Leptitrex?</h3>
<p>The list is long and we could probably write a book with information on each ingredient. <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=leptitrex" rel="nofollow">Leptitrex</a> contains 6 &#8220;Keys&#8221; which, according to their website, are:</p>
<p>1. Vitamins &amp; Mineral blend &#8211; Vitamin C, Vitamin B12, Vitamin B6, Chromium Polynicontinate, Selenium</p>
<p>2. Motivation &amp; Hunger &#8211; <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chocamine-review/" >Chocamine</a>, <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/dicaffeine-malate-review/" >Di-Caffeine Malate</a>, Rhodiola Rosea, St. John&#8217;s Wort, <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/l-tyrosine-review/" >L-Tyrosine</a>, Picamilon, <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/l-phenylalanine-review/" >Phenylalanine</a>, hops, <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/phenylethylamine-review/" >Phenylethylamine (PEA)</a>, <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/" >Synephrine</a>, Ginkgo, Siberian Ginseng, Ginger, <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/5-hydroxytryptophan-5-htp-review/" >5-HTP</a>, and Vinpocetine</p>
<p>3. Superfoods &#8211; Barley, <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/garlic-review/" >Garlic</a>, Cayenne, Buckwheat, Soybeans, Flaxseed, Lactobacillus Acidophilus, <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/wheatgrass-review/" >Wheatgrass</a>, Acai, and alfalfa. These ingredients supposedly help in eliminating acne.</p>
<p>4. Lean Muscle Matrix &#8211; <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/forslean-review/" >Forslean</a>, L-Glutamine, Creatine Monohydrate, L-Arginine, Avena Sativa, Mucuna Pruniens, Ipriflavone, Ecdysterone</p>
<p>5. Body &amp; liver detox &#8211; dandelion root, milk thistle, licorice, cranberry, uva ursi, and sage</p>
<p>6. Anti Aging matrix &#8211; <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >green tea</a>, <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/dmae-dimethylethanolamine-review/" >DMAE</a>, acetyl-L-Carnitine, and <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/alpha-lipoic-acid-review/" >alpha lipoic acid</a></p>
<p>While the ingredients are all listed, there are no specific amounts listed for any of the ingredients.  This is your standard &#8220;proprietary blend&#8221; that we see a lot in the diet pill industry.  It&#8217;s completely out of the ordinary for companies <em>not</em> to use a proprietary blend these days, so we have a hard time making it count against anyone. (That being said, there are a few companies that disclose everything, so we do give special consideration to those).</p>
<p>Because <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=leptitrex" rel="nofollow">Leptitrex</a> contains a whole slew of ingredients, you&#8217;re going to be dealing with multiple pills.  Don&#8217;t let this be a huge deterrent to you unless you have a hard time swallowing pills.  What would worry me more is if Leptitrex were to list all of these ingredients and then only require one or two pills as the dosage&#8230;that would smell like a scam.</p>
<h3>What does the Research say about Leptitrex?</h3>
<p>Well, there has been no research done on <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=leptitrex" rel="nofollow">Leptitrex</a> itself, only on some of the individual ingredients. Several of the ingredients have been proven effective in weight loss, specifically <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/forslean-review/" >Forslean</a> and <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >green tea</a>. However, many of the ingredients are a bit disputed in their effectiveness, including <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/5-hydroxytryptophan-5-htp-review/" >5-HTP</a> and <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/dmae-dimethylethanolamine-review/" >DMAE</a>. Many of the other ingredients have not been researched enough to determine their effectiveness. Although some ingredients do have clinical backing, it is impossible to say whether or not these ingredients are effective in Leptitrex because the amounts of the ingredients are not disclosed.</p>
<p>Several ingredients are included as mood enhancers (including PEA and DMAE). PEA has been clinically proven to promote energy and elevate mood. ((http://neuro.psychiatryonline.org/cgi/content/abstract/7/1/6))</p>
<h3>The Leptitrex Website Claims:</h3>
<p>&#8220;Recent Clinical studies prove the Effectiveness of 2 ingredients in the Leptitrex Lean Muscle Matrix:</p>
<p>1)  Seventy-eight highly trained athletes were given either placebo, protein, or a key ingredient in Leptitrex + protein. The combination of Leptitrex’s ingredient and protein resulted in up to a 13% reduction in body fat and a 6% to 7% increase in muscle tissue. This was within a period of only 10 days.</p>
<p>2)  University study on another PATENTED ingredient in Leptitrex shows test subjects lost 9.9 lbs of body FAT on average in the course of 12 weeks. They were also able to GAIN Lean Muscle Tissue thus greatly increasing their metabolic rate and likelihood of long term success.&#8221;</p>
<p>It is interesting that not only does <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=leptitrex" rel="nofollow">Leptitrex</a> fail to say which ingredients were tested, but they also fail to give any concrete evidence on when the studies were done or who conducted the studies.</p>
<h3>Leptitrex Marketing</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=leptitrex" rel="nofollow">Leptitrex</a> does most of the marketing by word of mouth.  This is actually a very positive sign, since you can be assured that consumers won&#8217;t refer their friends to an ineffective product.  They do not have a customer service phone number, only an email address. On the up side, they do have a &#8220;Lifetime Money Back Guarantee&#8221;. All you have to do is return your empty bottle (because they want you to try an entire bottle before returning it) and any unopened bottles for a &#8220;quick refund&#8221; minus shipping and handling.</p>
<h3>How Much Does Leptitrex Cost?</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=leptitrex" rel="nofollow">Leptitrex</a> normally costs $99.95 per bottle (a one month supply), but if you <strong>&#8220;BUY NOW before it’s Too Late!&#8221;</strong> you can get a discount.</p>
<h3>Leptitrex Review Conclusion</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/goto.php?a=leptitrex" rel="nofollow">Leptitrex</a> is trying too hard to cover all the bases. By focusing on fewer ingredients they could do more research and be sure to include proper amounts of effective ingredients. They may have spread themselves a bit thin.  With a lifetime moneyback guarantee, it may be worth a shot but, of course, that&#8217;s ultimately up for you to decide.</p>
