			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/slimbodyxp.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-754" title="slimbodyxp" src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/slimbodyxp.jpg" alt="" width="130" height="122" /></a>SlimBody XP is a diet pill that is supposed to:</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>

			<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>
