This Hoodialyte review will explore the ingredients contained in Hoodialyte as well as discuss the cost in order to help you decide if this is the right product for you.</p>
<h3>Hoodialyte Ingredients</h3>
<p><strong>Vitamin C</strong> (1 mg) is important to good health, but it does not cause weight loss.<br />
<strong>Sodium</strong> (2mg) does not cause weight loss.<br />
<strong>Energy Blend 1750 mg</strong><em><br />
<em><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/carnitine-review/">L-Carnitine</a></em> has not proven to significantly contribute to weight loss.<br />
<em><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/l-tyrosine-review/">L-Tyrosine</a></em> has been proven to contribute to weight loss when included in doses of 500 to 1500 mg per day. Since Hoodialyte fails to list how much Tyrosine it contains, this Hoodialyte review is unable to determine if the amount of Tyrosine contained in Hoodialyte is enough to contribute to weight loss.<br />
<em>Malic Acid</em> has not been proven an effective diet pill ingredient.<br />
<strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2007/hoodia-gordonii/">Hoodia Pure Extract</a></strong> (400 mg) is merely hype. There is NO scientific evidence to prove that hoodia actually contributes to weight loss.<br />
<strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/">Green Tea </a></strong>(150 mg) is a proven diet pill ingredient. When taken in doses of 300 mg per day, green tea does cause weight loss.<br />
<strong>Pomegranate Frui</strong>t (80 mg) is an excellent antioxidant; it does not cause weight loss.<br />
<strong>Acai Fruit</strong> (75 mg) is another hyped-up diet pill ingredient. Although acai does contain antioxidants, it does not cause weight loss.<br />
<strong>Oolong Tea</strong> (75 mg) contains <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2007/caffeine/">caffeine</a>, which has been proven to contribute to weight loss.<br />
<strong>Yohimbine Bark</strong> (15 mg) .</p>
<h3>Hoodialyte Cost</h3>
<p>Hoodialyte costs $11.99 for 6 bottles (there is a discount for buying in bulk). If you follow the recommended dosage of 3 bottles per day (one before each meal), Hoodialyte will cost you nearly $200 per month. This Hoodialyte review finds this is far too expensive for this product. While Hoodialyte does contain some effective ingredients, you can get a diet pill with the same ingredients for much less money.</p>
<h3>Hoodialyte Website</h3>
<p>The Hoodialyte website contains some interesting (and amusing) statements. They claim, &#8220;Extreme weight loss may occur. Remember to eat every day&#8221; (website).<br />
<br />
If you are looking for some cash and prizes, enter the Hoodialyte Challenge. Just send your Before and After photos from using Hoodialyte. One male and one female will win a tropical vacation plus $1000 cash. It seems a little strange. How can they verify it is really you in the photos and that you haven&#8217;t just doctored the photos (or that you actually took Hoodialyte in the first place).</p>
<h3>Hoodialyte Conclusion</h3>
<p>The real question is whether or not Hoodialyte will cause weight loss. The answer: it probably will. However, this Hoodialyte review finds Hoodialyte is way too expensive. You can get the same weight loss results from several other diet pills that cost far less.</p>

This LipoRid AM review will reveal the truth behind this claim and show you what you can really expect from LipoRid AM.</p>
<h3>LipoRid AM Ingredients</h3>
<p>The following are the ingredients in LipoRid AM diet pills. Most of them do not contribute to weight loss, but we have explained those that do.<br />
<strong>Niacin</strong> (20 mg)<br />
<strong>Vitamin B6</strong> (10 mg)<br />
<strong>Zinc</strong> (5 mg)<br />
<strong>Selenium</strong> (100 mcg)<br />
<strong>Copper</strong> (0.3 mg)<br />
<strong>Manganese</strong> (2 mg)<br />
<strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/">Chromium Picolinate</a></strong> (400 mcg) has shown varying results in clinical studies so we cannot endorse the inclusion of Chromium Picolinate.<br />
<strong>Calcium Pyruvate</strong> (1044 mg) does contribute to weight loss, but clinical studies have shown it is only effective when contained in doses of 36 grams per day. This LipoRid AM review finds there is nowhere near enough Calcium Pyruvate in LipoRid AM to cause weight loss.<br />
<strong>Bayberry Leaf</strong> (125 mg)<br />
<strong>Mullion Leaf</strong> (125 mg)<br />
<strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guggulesterones-review/">Gugglesterone</a> </strong>(150 mg) is supposed to increase thyroid function, leading to weight loss. However, studies have shown varying results.<br />
<strong><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/l-tyrosine-review/">L-Tyrosine</a></strong> (30 mg) is a great diet pill ingredient, but it has to be included in doses of 500 to 1500 mg per day. There is not enough L-Tyrosine in LipoRid AM to contribute to weight loss.<br />
<strong>Panax <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/ginseng-review/">Ginseng</a> root extract</strong> (150 mg)<br />
<strong>Kelp powder</strong> (220 mg)<br />
<strong>Citrus Pectin</strong> (200 mg)<br />
<strong>Grapefruit Seed extract </strong>(200 mg)<br />
<br />
LipoRid AM does contain a few proven diet pill ingredients, but they are not included in sufficient amounts.</p>
<h3>LipoRid AM Cost</h3>
<p>LipoRid AM diet pills cost $21.95 for 33 capsules. If you take the maximum recommended dosage of 9 capsules per day, one bottle will not even last 4 days.  In other words, LipoRid AM will cost you about $180 per month. This is an outrageous amount. There is no reason to believe LipoRid AM will actually cause weight loss, so any amount is too much to pay for it.</p>
<h3>LipoRid AM Guarantee</h3>
<p>Strictly Health Corporation, manufacturer of LipoRid AM, offers a 30 day guarantee on LipoRid AM. In order to return the product, you have to obtain an RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization) from the customer service department. No opened bottles can be returned.<br />
<br />
A 30 day guarantee is pointless. Thirty days is not enough time to determine whether or not a diet pill will work (although the ingredients show LipoRid AM will not cause weight loss). We prefer a 90 day guarantee.</p>
<h3>LipoRid AM Conclusion</h3>
<p>This LipoRid AM review finds LipoRid AM does contain a few good diet pill ingredients, but not in the necessary amounts. Furthermore, LipoRid AM is WAY too expensive. Do yourself a favor and go with a diet pill that contains proven ingredients in proven amounts. It will help you shed the pounds while keeping money in your wallet. Check out our recommended products to find a diet pill that will work for you.</p>

<h3>MeltRX 24 Ultra Ingredients</h3>
<p>Thiamin<br />
Niacin<br />
Vitamin B6<br />
Folate<br />
Vitamin B12<br />
Biotin<br />
Pantothenic Acid<br />
Calcium<br />
Iodine<br />
Magnesium<br />
Zinc<br />
Copper<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/">Chromium</a> has shown varying results in clinical trials; some studies have shown it contributes to weight loss while others have shown the opposite.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/">Green tea</a> is an excellent diet pill. It has to be used in doses of 300 mg or more per day in order to be effective at causing weight loss. Unfortunately, MeltRX 24 Ultra fails to list how much Green tea it contains, making it impossible for this MeltRX 24 Ultra review to determine if there is enough Green tea in MeltRX 24 Ultra diet pills to contribute to weight loss.<br />
Cinnamon<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/ginger-review-is-ginger-effective-in-diet-pills/">Ginger</a> root<br />
Ginko Biloba supports memory function, but it does not contribute to weight loss.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/garcinia-cambogia-review/">Garcinia Cambogia</a> contains HCA, which has been shown to contribute to weight loss. However, recent reports from the FDA show HCA may be linked to serious health concerns for the liver. Therefore, we cannot endorse a product containing HCA.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/l-tyrosine-review/">L-Tyrosine</a> has been shown to help increase focus during stressful periods. It does cause weight loss, but only when taken in doses of 500 mg to 1500 mg per day. Again, MeltRX 24 Ultra does not say how much L-Tyrosine it contains, but it is extremely unlikely that there is enough of it to contribute to weight loss.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/glutamine-review/">L-Glutamine</a> is produced naturally by the body. It is unlikely that you would need to supplement with L-Glutamine because your body produces as much as it needs.<br />
Lecithin</p>
<p>You will note that MeltRX 24 Ultra diet pills do contain a few proven diet pill ingredients. However, it does not reveal how much of each ingredient it contains. Additionally, MeltRX 24 Ultra contains HCA, which can cause liver problems. Therefore, we cannot recommend MeltRX 24 Ultra.</p>
<h3>MeltRX 24 Ultra Price</h3>
<p>MeltRX 24 Ultra diet pills cost $54 for a 13 day supply, with a discount for buying in bulk. This is WAY too much to pay for this product. There is no reason to believe MeltRX 24 Ultra will actually cause weight loss, and considering the possible danger of HCA, you shouldn&#8217;t bother even trying MeltRX 24 Ultra.</p>
<h3>MeltRX 24 Ultra Guarantee</h3>
<p>MeltRX 24 Ultra has a 30 day, 110% money back guarantee. Although we do like to see a guarantee, 30 days is not enough time to know whether or not a diet pill will actually work. We prefer to see a 90 day guarantee.</p>
<h3>MeltRX 24 Ultra Conclusion</h3>
<p>This MeltRX 24 Ultra review finds this product is potentially dangerous, and there is no reason to believe it will really cause weight loss. It is also way too expensive. If you are really interested in losing weight, go with a product that includes ingredients that have been clinically proven, ingredients that will not be dangerous to your health.</p>

<p>MeltRX 24 Ultra diet pills cost $54 for a 13 day supply, with a discount for buying in bulk. This is WAY too much to pay for this product. There is no reason to believe MeltRX 24 Ultra will actually cause weight loss, and considering the possible danger of HCA, you shouldn&#8217;t bother even trying MeltRX 24 Ultra.</p>
<h3>MeltRX 24 Ultra Guarantee</h3>
<p>MeltRX 24 Ultra has a 30 day, 110% money back guarantee. Although we do like to see a guarantee, 30 days is not enough time to know whether or not a diet pill will actually work. We prefer to see a 90 day guarantee.</p>
<h3>MeltRX 24 Ultra Conclusion</h3>
<p>This MeltRX 24 Ultra review finds this product is potentially dangerous, and there is no reason to believe it will really cause weight loss. It is also way too expensive. If you are really interested in losing weight, go with a product that includes ingredients that have been clinically proven, ingredients that will not be dangerous to your health.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/zenaleanpro.jpg" alt="zenaleanpro" title="zenaleanpro" width="81" height="150" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1370" />
<p>Zenalean Pro is a diet pill that is supposed to melt the pounds away. It includes several powerful ingredients, but the possible dangers outweigh the benefits. This Zenalean Pro review will reveal the truth behind Zenalean diet pills to help you determine if this is the right diet pill option for you.</p>
<h3>Zenalean Pro Ingredients</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guarana-yeba-mate-and-damiana-gyd-review/">Guarana Extract</a> (standardized to 200 mg of caffeine) (400 mg) has been proven to contribute to weight loss, but only when combined with Yerba Mate and Damiana. Unfortunately, Zenalean Pro does not contain either of these other two ingredients. Therefore, this Zenalean Pro review finds the Guarana in Zenalean Pro will not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Sida Cordifolia Extract (350 mg) is often used to treat a variety of illnesses including cough and flu. However, Sida Cordifolia does contain ephedrine. Ephedrine (also known as ephedra) is a very effective diet pill ingredient. Unfortunately, it has very serious side effects (including death) and has been banned by the FDA. Before you consider taking Zenalean Pro diet pills, be sure you understand the possible side effects associated with using ephedrine.</p>
<p>Bitter Orange (standardized to 5 mg of <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/">synephrine</a>) (45 mg) is another proven diet pill ingredient. When looking at synephrine it is important to notice the concentration included. Zenalean Pro does not state the concentration of synephrine it includes; therefore, it is impossible for this Zenalean Pro review to determine if the synephrine in Zenalean Pro diet pills is sufficient to cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Proprietary Blend 100 mg</p>
<p>White Willow Bark Extract is an anti-inflammatory; there is no evidence to show it contributes to weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/l-tyrosine-review/">L-Tyrosine</a> contributes to weight loss when taken in doses of 500 to 1500 mg per day. Obviously, there is not enough L-Tyrosine in Zenalean Pro to cause weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/ginger-review-is-ginger-effective-in-diet-pills/">Ginger Root</a> does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Acetyl <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/carnitine-review/">L-Carnitine</a> does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/">Green Tea</a> Extract does contribute to weight loss when taken  in doses of 300 mg or more per day. Since the proprietary blend contains only 100 mg, it is impossible for you to get enough green tea from Zenalean Pro to cause weight loss.</p>
<h3>Zenalean Pro Cost</h3>
<p>We found Zenalean Pro diet pills online for as little as $34.95 per month. Each bottle contains 120 capsules. This is relatively inexpensive as diet pills go, but considering the possible serious side effects, it is still too much to pay for Zenalean Pro.</p>
<h3>How to take Zenalean Pro</h3>
<p>You are supposed to take one capsule per day for 30 days and then take 60 days off. It is concerning that they give you 120 capsules in one bottle when you should go through that many capsules in a year if you are taking them correctly. If you decide to take Zenalean Pro, DO NOT TAKE MORE THAN ONE PILL PER DAY.</p>
<h3>Who makes Zenalean Pro?</h3>
<p>Zenalean Pro was made by Fast Action Pharma, which is now Nutra Costal. Zenalean Pro is not found on the Nutra Costal website. We emailed the company (they give no phone number) to ask if they still make or distribute Zenalean Pro, but we are yet to get a response. You can purchase Zenalean Pro from a number of online retailers. You might be able to get a refund if you purchase Zenalean Pro and don&#8217;t like it, but it is unlikely you will get a refund from the manufacturer.</p>
<h3>Zenalean Pro Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Zenalean Pro review finds that Zenalean Pro could very well be an effective diet pill. However, with the inclusion of ephedrine, the benefits are not worth the possible risks. If you are serious about losing weight, check out our recommended products.</p>

<p>LipoFlush diet pills supposedly &#8220;dramatically decrease body fat, increase energy levels, preserve skeletal muscle, and provide major health benefits&#8221; (website). This LipoFlush review will dissect the exhausting ingredient list and reveal the truth about the research done on LipoFlush to show you that LipoFlush is not the product you are looking for.</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>
<p>
<h3>LipoFlush Ingredients</h3>
</p>
<p>Vitamin D3 (100 IU) does nothing for weight loss.</p>
<p>Vitamin B5 (10 mg) does nothing for weight loss.</p>
<p>Vitamin B6 (25 mg) does nothing for weight loss.</p>
<p>Vitamin B12 (1000 mcg) does nothing for weight loss.</p>
<p>Folic Acid (1000 mcg) does nothing for weight loss.</p>
<p>Biotin (100 mcg) does nothing for weight loss.</p>
<p>Potassium (99 mg) does nothing for weight loss.</p>
<p>Calcium (415 mg) does nothing for weight loss.</p>
<p>Magnesium (200 mg) does nothing for weight loss.</p>
<p>Zinc (10 mg) does nothing for weight loss.</p>
<p>Chromium (50 mcg) has shown varying results in clinical studies.</p>
<p>Choline (650 mg) supposedly reduces body fat, but studies do not back up this claim.</p>
<p>L-Carnitine (450 mg) has not been proven to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Bioperine (4 mg) increases the body&#8217;s ability to absorb nutrients. It does not directly contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Citrus Aurantium (300 mg) contains Synephrine, which is a great, proven diet pill ingredient. The important aspect with Synephrine is the concentration&#8211;the higher the better. LipoFlush does not disclose the concentration of Synephrine it contains. Therefore, it is impossible for this LipoFlush review to determine if the Synephrine in LipoFlush diet pills is enough to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) (100 mg) does contribute to weight loss, but 100 mg isn&#8217;t going to do much.</p>
<p>Cordyceps Sinesis (100 mg)</p>
<p>Garcinia Cambogia (400 mg) does contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Hawthorne Berry (100 mg) does nothing for weight loss.</p>
<p>Caffeine (99 mg) is a good weight loss ingredient, but there is not enough caffeine in LipoFlush diet pills to be effective.</p>
<p>LipoFlush Proprietary Complex 4000 mg</p>
<p>Acanthopanax Senticosus</p>
<p>Alpha Lipoic Acid(ALA)  helps produce energy. However, the human body makes plenty of ALA, so there is no need to supplement.</p>
<p>Banaba Leaf</p>
<p>Beta Sitosterol</p>
<p>Betaine</p>
<p>Capsicum</p>
<p>Cellulose</p>
<p>Cinnamon</p>
<p>Damiana has been shown to contribute to weight loss when combined with yerba mate and guarana. LipoFlush does contain yerba mate and guarana, but it does not list how much of each is included.</p>
<p>Genistein</p>
<p>Ginger</p>
<p>Grape Seed</p>
<p>Guarana has been shown to contribute to weight loss when combined with yerba mate and damiana. LipoFlush does contain yerba mate and damiana, but it does not list how much of each is included.</p>
<p>Guggul extract is supposed to increase thyroid function, leading to weight loss. However, research does not support these claims.</p>
<p>Glycine</p>
<p>Hoodia does absolutely nothing for weight loss.</p>
<p>Inositol transports fat from the liver. Again, LipoFlush hides how much Inositol it contains.</p>
<p>Kelp</p>
<p>Kola Nut</p>
<p>Lecithin</p>
<p>L-Histidine</p>
<p>L-Tyrosine is effective when included in doses of 500 to 1500 mg per day. It is unlikely that LipoFlush contains enough L-Tyrosine to be effective.</p>
<p>Green Tea is a very effective ingredient, but LipoFlush does not list how much green tea it contains.</p>
<p>Magnesium</p>
<p>Mucuna Puriens</p>
<p>Panax Ginseng</p>
<p>Phosphatidylserine</p>
<p>Quercetine dihydrate</p>
<p>Siler extract</p>
<p>Theobroma Cocoa Complex</p>
<p>White Willow Bark is an anti-inflammatory. It does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Yerba Mate has been shown to contribute to weight loss when combined with guarana and damiana. LipoFlush does contain guarana and damiana, but it does not list how much of each is included.</p>
<p>
<h3>LipoFlush Cost</h3>
</p>
<p>LipoFlush costs $69.95 for 120 capsules. If you take the recommended 8 capsules per day, one bottle will last 15 days. This is an outrageous price for a diet pill! You can find a more effective diet pill at much less cost. Check out our recommended products.</p>
<p>
<h3>LipoFlush Research</h3>
</p>
<p>The LipoFlush website claims there has been research done specifically on LipoFlush. The supposed research was done in-house (which usually means they have altered the results to make them more favorable). Also, there is no formal write-up on the research results; they have not been published anywhere. This makes us very skeptical of the LipoFlush research.</p>
<p>
<h3>LipoFlush Conclusion</h3>
</p>
<p>This LipoFlush review finds LipoFlush is really no different from dozens of other diet pills. They do include a few proven ingredients, but in most cases they fail to list how much of each ingredient is included. They try to impress consumers with a very lengthy list of ingredients. The price of LipoFlush is ridiculous. Don&#8217;t bother with this product. Instead, go with one of our recommended products; they contain the necessary amount of proven ingredients and they won&#8217;t break your bank.</p>

<p>Yerba Mate has been shown to contribute to weight loss when combined with guarana and damiana. LipoFlush does contain guarana and damiana, but it does not list how much of each is included.</p>
<p>
<h3>LipoFlush Cost</h3>
</p>
<p>LipoFlush costs $69.95 for 120 capsules. If you take the recommended 8 capsules per day, one bottle will last 15 days. This is an outrageous price for a diet pill! You can find a more effective diet pill at much less cost. Check out our recommended products.</p>
<p>
<h3>LipoFlush Research</h3>
</p>
<p>The LipoFlush website claims there has been research done specifically on LipoFlush. The supposed research was done in-house (which usually means they have altered the results to make them more favorable). Also, there is no formal write-up on the research results; they have not been published anywhere. This makes us very skeptical of the LipoFlush research.</p>
<p>
<h3>LipoFlush Conclusion</h3>
</p>
<p>This LipoFlush review finds LipoFlush is really no different from dozens of other diet pills. They do include a few proven ingredients, but in most cases they fail to list how much of each ingredient is included. They try to impress consumers with a very lengthy list of ingredients. The price of LipoFlush is ridiculous. Don&#8217;t bother with this product. Instead, go with one of our recommended products; they contain the necessary amount of proven ingredients and they won&#8217;t break your bank.</p>

</ul>
<p>Do not be impressed by this excessive list of ingredients. TFuel Hardcore diet pills do contain some effective ingredients, but they fail to mention how much of each ingredient is included. This is usually because there is just a trace amount of each ingredient included. There is no reason to believe TFuel Hardcore will actually cause weight loss.</p>
<p>The TFuel Hardcore package claims it contains &#8220;patented ingredients.&#8221; The truth is that these ingredients are included in dozens of diet pills; TFuel Hardcore is nothing special.</p>
<h3>TFuel Hardcore Price</h3>
<p>TFuel Hardcore diet pills cost $59 for 120 capsules. If you take the recommended dose of 6 capsules per day, one bottle will last 20 days. This is very expensive for a diet pill.</p>
<h3>Who is behind TFuel Hardcore?</h3>
<p>After searching online, the only place we found to buy on TFuel Hardcore diet pills was on Ebay. There is no mention of who manufacturers TFuel Hardcore. It is not even listed on the packaging. This is a huge red flag. There is no guarantee with TFuel Hardcore. Don&#8217;t bother with this product; there are just too many unknowns, including manufacturer and ingredient amounts.</p>
<h3>TFuel Hardcore Conclusion</h3>
<p>This TFuel Hardcore review finds TFuel Hardcore is nothing more than another diet pill out to get your money. Not only does TFuel Hardcore hide how much of each ingredient is included, they do not even disclose the name of the manufacturer. If you really want to lose weight, go with a diet pill that includes proven ingredients in the necessary amounts.</p>

<p>The TFuel Hardcore package claims it contains &#8220;patented ingredients.&#8221; The truth is that these ingredients are included in dozens of diet pills; TFuel Hardcore is nothing special.</p>
<h3>TFuel Hardcore Price</h3>
<p>TFuel Hardcore diet pills cost $59 for 120 capsules. If you take the recommended dose of 6 capsules per day, one bottle will last 20 days. This is very expensive for a diet pill.</p>
<h3>Who is behind TFuel Hardcore?</h3>
<p>After searching online, the only place we found to buy on TFuel Hardcore diet pills was on Ebay. There is no mention of who manufacturers TFuel Hardcore. It is not even listed on the packaging. This is a huge red flag. There is no guarantee with TFuel Hardcore. Don&#8217;t bother with this product; there are just too many unknowns, including manufacturer and ingredient amounts.</p>
<h3>TFuel Hardcore Conclusion</h3>
<p>This TFuel Hardcore review finds TFuel Hardcore is nothing more than another diet pill out to get your money. Not only does TFuel Hardcore hide how much of each ingredient is included, they do not even disclose the name of the manufacturer. If you really want to lose weight, go with a diet pill that includes proven ingredients in the necessary amounts.</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>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>
<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>

		<description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/charge-asf.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-826" title="charge-asf" src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/charge-asf.jpg" alt="" width="133" height="151" /></a>Charge ASF is a diet pill &#8220;designed to give you the appetite suppression, energy boost, and fat-burning control you need, all without Ephedrine&#8221; (website). This Charge ASF review explains the ingredients contained in Charge ASF and reveals the truth behind the &#8220;Quality Guarantee&#8221; of Charge ASF diet pills.</p>
<h3>Charge ASF Ingredients</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green Tea</a><span> Extract (200mg) has been shown to contribute to weight loss when it is taken in doses of 300 mg or more per day. If you take the recommended dosage of Charge ASF, you will get 400 mg of green tea per day. Thus, this Charge ASF review finds the green tea in Charge ASF diet pills will cause weight loss.</span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guarana-yeba-mate-and-damiana-gyd-review/" >Guarana </a>Extract (550mg) has been proven to contribute to weight loss, but ONLY when combined with Yerba Mate and Damiana. Charge ASF diet pills do not contain either Yerba Mate or Damiana.</p>
<p>Bitter Orange (9mg synepherine) 150mg does contain the proven ingredient <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/" >Synephrine</a>. Unfortunately, Charge ASF fails to mention the concentration of Synephrine (which is the most important aspect). Therefore, it is impossible for this Charge ASF review to determine if the concentration of Synephrine is enough to cause weight loss.</p>
<p>White Willow Bark Extract (50mg) is an anti-inflammatory. It has not been shown to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/ginger-review-is-ginger-effective-in-diet-pills/" >Ginger </a>Root (10mg) does not cause weight loss.</p>
<p>Proprietary Charge Thermoblend: 375mg</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/l-tyrosine-review/" >L-Tyrosine</a> has been shown to contribute to weight loss when included in doses of 500 to 1500 mg or more per day. Since this proprietary blend contains only 375 mg; Charge ASF simply does not contain enough L-Tyrosine to cause weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/carnitine-review/" >L-Carnitine</a><span> has not been proven to contribute to weight loss.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span>Naringin<br />
</span></p>
<h3>Charge ASF Price</h3>
<p>Charge ASF diet pills cost $22.99 for 120 capsules; if you take the recommended 4 capsules per day, one bottle will last a month. This is quite inexpensive for a diet pill, but the only proven ingredient included in the necessary amount is green tea. You would do just as well taking green tea (and it would be less expensive).</p>
<h3>Charge ASF &#8220;Quality Guarantee&#8221;</h3>
<p>I searched the Labrada (Charge ASF manufacturer) website for a guarantee policy. While I found no return policy, their &#8220;quality guarantee&#8221; says, &#8220;If it&#8217;s on the label, it&#8217;s in the product&#8221; (website). This is no guarantee. Labrada does not really guarantee their products. You will not get your money back if you buy Charge ASF.</p>
<h3>Charge ASF Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Charge ASF review finds this is a mediocre product. It contains only one proven ingredient in a proven amount. Charge ASF does not live up to its claims. Do yourself a favor and find a diet pill that includes several proven ingredients in proven amounts.</p>

<p>Proprietary Charge Thermoblend: 375mg</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/l-tyrosine-review/" >L-Tyrosine</a> has been shown to contribute to weight loss when included in doses of 500 to 1500 mg or more per day.

<p>This Charge ASF review finds this is a mediocre product. It contains only one proven ingredient in a proven amount. Charge ASF does not live up to its claims. Do yourself a favor and find a diet pill that includes several proven ingredients in proven amounts.</p>

Better yet, SLENDERFUL does all this without requiring major changes in your lifestyle&#8221; (website). This Slenderful review finds Slenderful falls short on all of its claims. It has an exhausting ingredient list, with only one proven ingredient.<br />
</span></span></p>
<h3>Slenderful Ingredients</h3>
<p>Thiamin (4mg)</p>
<p>Riboflavin (5 mg)</p>
<p>Niacin (13 mg)</p>
<p>Vitamin B6 (4 mg)</p>
<p>Folate (175 mcg)</p>
<p>Vitamin B12 (9 mcg)</p>
<p>Iodine (75 mcg)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/" >Chromium </a>(120 mcg)</p>
<p><span><span>Guggulipid</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>Gotu kola</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>DL-phenylalanine</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>Taurine</span></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/l-tyrosine-review/" >L-tyrosine</a></p>
<p><span><span>Octopamine </span></span></p>
<p><span><span>Polyphenolic extract of green coffee bean</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>Willow bark</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>ipriflavone</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>grape fruit extract 10:1</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>L-methionine</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>Yerba matte</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>Rhodiola rosea</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>Myo inositol</span></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/dmae-dimethylethanolamine-review/" >DMAE </a><span><span>(dimethylaminoethanol bitartrate)</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>Choline bitartrate</span></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/carnitine-review/" >L-carnitine</a><span><span>-L-tartrate</span></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/5-hydroxytryptophan-5-htp-review/" >5-hydroxytryptophan</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/alpha-lipoic-acid-review/" >Alpha lipoic acid</a><span><span> (antioxidant)</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>Uva ursi</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>Vanadyl nicotinate</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>Capsicum powder</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>Ginger </span></span></p>
<p><span><span>DIM</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>Sea kelp </span></span></p>
<p>This ingredient list is overwhelming. The long and short of it is only tyrosine has been proven to contribute to weight loss. Not only that, Slenderful fails to list the amount of tyrosine it contains. To be effective at causing weight loss, tyrosine has to be taken in doses of 500 to 1500 mg per day. It is extremely unlikely that Slenderful contains enough tyrosine to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<h3>Slenderful Price</h3>
<p>Slenderful diet pills cost $20.67 for 90 capsules (a one month supply). This is actually inexpensive for a diet pill. However, although Slenderful contains a few proven ingredients, they are included in an undisclosed amount, so any amount is too much to pay for Slenderful.</p>
<h3>Slenderful Guarantee</h3>
<p>The Slenderful website states, &#8220;You may return your purchase within 30 days of purchase for a refund or replacement. Just fill out the return section on your order&#8217;s packing slip and send it back to us in new condition!&#8221; This is their stealthy way of saying you can only return Slenderful if the package is not open. In other words, if you purchase only one package and use the product you can&#8217;t get your money back.</p>
<h3>Slenderful Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Slenderful review finds Slenderful is nothing more than a typical diet pill; it contains only one proven  ingredient in an undisclosed amount. Don&#8217;t bother with this product. It does not live up to any of its lofty claims. Look for a diet pill that contains proven ingredients in clinically proven amounts.</p>

The supposed advantages of Burn Tropin include:</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">&#8220;Enhancement                                  of Natural Thermogenesis without Ephedra</span></li>

</span></li>
</ul>
<p>This Burn Tropin review shows that Burn Tropin fails to live up to its claims.</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>Burn Tropin Ingredients</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/l-tyrosine-review/" >L-Tyrosine</a> (1000 mg) does contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Ephedra Free Thermogenic Blend 420 mg</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green tea </a>contributes to weight loss by increasing metabolic rate. It has been proven to be effective when taken in doses of at least 300 mg per day. Burn Tropin diet pills do not say how much green tea they contain, but it is unlikely that there is enough green tea to be effective.</p>
<p>Zhi Shi (Citrus Aurantium) contains <a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/synephrine-review/" >synephrine</a>, which has been shown to cause weight loss. The important aspect of synephrine is the concentration (the higher the concentration of synephrine the more effective it is). The concentration of the synephrine contained in Burn Tropin is undisclosed.</p>
<p>Coleus Forskohlii has been shown to contribute to weight loss. Again, Burn Tropin fails to list how much Coleus Forskohlii it contains, making it impossible for this Burn Tropin review to determine if there is enough Coleus Forskohlii to be effective.</p>
<p>Appetite Suppression 450 mg</p>
<p>Hydroxycitric acid (<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/garcinia-cambogia-review/" >Garcinia Cambogia</a>) contributes to weight loss. However, it is contained in a proprietary blend so there is no way of knowing for sure how much Garcinia Cambogia is contained in Burn Tropin diet pills.</p>
<p>Tropin Blend 105 mg</p>
<p>Mucuna Puriens do not cause weight loss.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/guggulesterones-review/" >Guggulsterones </a>supposedly lower cholesterol, but they have not been proven to contribute to weight loss.</p>
<p>Burn Tropin does contain some of our favorite diet pill ingredients. Unfortunately, Burn Tropin hides how much of each proven ingredient is included.</p>
<h3>Burn Tropin Cost</h3>
<p>Burn Tropin diet pills cost $19.95 for a one month supply. This is quite inexpensive for a diet pill. Unfortunately, since Burn Tropin does not disclose the amount of each ingredient included, any amount is too much to pay for Burn Tropin.</p>
<h3>Burn Tropin Marketing</h3>
<p>Burn Tropin is manufactured by Baywood International. The Baywood International website is very informative. They do not use the typical gimmicks of doctored before and after pictures or fabricated testimonials. Baywood International does NOT have a guarantee for Burn Tropin because they do not sell Burn Tropin directly; you have to buy it from a retailer. If you are considering buying Burn Tropin, be sure to check into the retailer&#8217;s individual guarantee policy.</p>
<h3>Burn Tropin Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Burn Tropin review finds Burn Tropin is just an average diet pill. Burn Tropin contains a few proven ingredients, but they are included in undisclosed amounts. For real weight loss results, try one of our recommended products; they contain proven ingredients in the appropriate amounts.</p>
