			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="30px;" align="left"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-657" title="7-dfbx" src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/7-dfbx.jpg" alt="" width="82" height="150" />7-DFBX is a diet pill that claims, &#8220;Buy 7-DFBX Today   and be 7, 10, 14, Even up to   21   POUNDS   Skinnier in 7 Days!!&#8221; (website) This 7-DFBX review will explain the ingredients in 7-DFBX as well as determine what validity (if any) there is in the claims about 7-DFBX.</p>
<h3>7-DFBX Ingredients</h3>
<p style="30px;" align="left"><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/caffeine-anhydrous-review/" >Caffeine Anyhdrous </a>is just regular caffeine. It has been shown to contribute to weight loss.<br />
<span class="style24">Potassium Gluconate has healthy benefits but has not been shown to contribute to weight loss.</span><br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/" >Chromium Polynicotinate</a> has been shown to contribute to weight loss by some studies, but not by others.<br />
<span class="style24">Psyllium Husk </span><br />
<span class="style42">Oat Bran Fiber </span><br />
<span class="style24">Barley Rice Fiber </span><br />
<span class="style42">Apple Pectin </span><br />
<span class="style24">Fennel Seed</span><br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/glucomannan-review/" >Glucomannan</a><span class="style42"> (267 mg) </span>is a dietary fiber which is supposed to make users feel full. 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="style42">Cranberry </span><br />
<span class="style24">Buchu Leaves 4:1is a diuretic.</span><br />
<span class="style42">Alfalfa </span><br />
<span class="style24">Juniper Berries is a diuretic.</span><br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/garlic-review/" >Garlic</a><span class="style24"> 100:1 </span><br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/ginger-review-is-ginger-effective-in-diet-pills/" >Ginger Root</a><br />
<span class="style24">Parsley is a diuretic.</span><br />
Goldenseal<br />
<span class="style24">Mint leaf is a diuretic.</span><br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/raspberry-ketone-review-effectiveness-of-raspberry-ketone-in-weight-loss/" >Red Raspberry</a> Leaf<br />
<span class="style24">Lemon Peel </span><br />
Hawthorn Berries<br />
<span class="style24">Red Clover Leaf </span><br />
Burdock Root<br />
<span class="style24">Irish Moss</span><br />
Aloe Vera<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/cayenne-review/" ><span class='style24'>Cayenne Pepper </span></a><br />
Sage<br />
<span class="style24">Noni </span><br />
Mangosteen<br />
<span class="style24">Pomegranate </span><br />
Apple Cider Vinegar<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>

			<content:encoded><![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.”<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>
