		<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>

		<description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/hooderma.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-536" title="hooderma" src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/hooderma.jpg" alt="hooderma" width="42" height="134" /></a>Hooderma is a diet gel which claims to help people &#8220;lose 12 pounds in 9 days&#8221; (Hooderma website). They claim that the ingredients in the gel will get into your bloodstream faster than ingredients in a diet pill. Hooderma is also supposed to help make skin look younger by reducing lines and wrinkles. This Hooderma review will explain just how valid these claims are and what Hooderma might do for you.</p>
<h3>What are the ingredients contained in Hooderma?</h3>
<p>The following are the ingredients in Hooderma, according to their website.</p>
<p>Hoodia Gordonii 20:1 extract<br />
Green Tea<br />
7 Keto DHEA<br />
Aloe Vera Gel<br />
MSM<br />
Hyaluronic Acid</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2007/hoodia-gordonii/" >Hoodia Gordonii </a>is an overhyped ingredient that is extremely popular right now. Unfortunately, regardless of what some might claim, there is NO scientific evidence to show that Hoodia actually contributes to weight loss. Hoodia 20:1 extract is supposedly the purest form of Hoodia, but it doesn&#8217;t really matter considering it hasn&#8217;t been proven to work.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green tea</a> is a clinically proven ingredient which increases the metabolic rate. Green tea is one of our favorite ingredients, as long as it is included in proven amounts.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/7-keto-review/" >7-KETO</a> is a naturally occurring metabolite (metabolites break things down for use in the body) of the hormone dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA).  DHEA serves as a precursor for the sex hormones, such as estrogen and testosterone. Studies have shown that 7-KETO can contribute to weight loss, when used in the proper amount. There are no long-term studies available to show 7-KETO’s affect on humans.  Some have concerns that it may cause heart palpitations.  Others have even suggested maximum dosages of 5mg.  As always, it is up for you to decide if you are comfortable supplementing with 7-KETO.</p>
<p>Aloe vera is known for its use in treating cuts and burns. While it is used in my skin care products, there is no evidence of its effectiveness in these products. It has not been shown to contribute to weight loss either.</p>
<p>MSM is often used to treat osteoarthritis and snoring. There is no evidence that it contributes to weight loss.</p>
<p>Hyaluronic acid cushions and lubricates connective tissue in the body. Research has shown that hyaluronic acid can help to reduce wrinkles.</p>
<h3>What does the research say about Hooderma?</h3>
<p>Here are the problems with Hooderma: 1) They do not disclose how much of each ingredient is included in the formula. 2) There has been no research done specifically on diet gels. All the research has been done on diet pills. This makes it impossible for this Hooderma review to determine how effective Hooderma is.</p>
<h3>Does Hooderma really help the skin?</h3>
<p>Hooderma does contain hyaluronic acid, which can help to reduce lines and wrinkles. However, they do not disclose how much hyaluronic acid is included, so, once again, this Hooderma review cannot determine if the hyaluronic acid in Hooderma is effective in reducing wrinkles.</p>
<p>Neither Aloe vera nor MSM has been proven to contribute to moisturizing the skin or reducing wrinkles.</p>
<h3>What is the cost of Hooderma?</h3>
<p>Hooderma costs $31.99 for a two month supply. While this is relatively inexpensive compared to other diet products, there is no evidence that it actually works.</p>
<h3>Does Hooderma have a guarantee?</h3>
<p>Hooderma includes a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. According to the website, if you return one used and any unused bottle you will be given a full refund minus shipping.</p>
<h3>What are the side effects of Hooderma?</h3>
<p>Side effects include restlessness, allergic reactions to the gel, and blood sugar imbalances.</p>
<h3>Hooderma conclusion</h3>
<p>This Hooderma review finds that while a diet gel may be a new idea, it is not an effective one (at least not for this gel). Hooderma does contain some ingredients that have proven effective in promoting weight loss, they do not include ingredient amounts. Also, there has been no research done on diet gels so there is no way to know how much of each ingredient would be effective. If you are serious about losing weight, read through our recommended products.</p>
