		<description><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-543" title="proshaperx" src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/proshaperx.jpg" alt="proshaperx" width="93" height="150" />ProShape rx is a diet pill which &#8220;employs a unique approach to weight loss. Unlike other systems on the market, we have built our system to help you lose weight quickly and effectively&#8221; (website). This ProShape rx review will determine the validity of this claim (which is made by dozens of diet pill companies) to help you see how ProShape rx diet pills compare to other products.</p>
<h3>ProShape rx Ingredients</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2007/hoodia-gordonii/" >Hoodia Gordonii</a> is a worthless diet pill ingredient. No matter how diet pill companies try to spin it, there is NO clinical evidence to show that hoodia gordonii actually contributes to weight loss.<br />
White Kidney Bean has been proven to decrease the absorption of starch, leading to weight loss. The studies used 1500 mg of white kidney bean every day. ProShape rx fails to disclose how much white kidney bean it contains; however, it is extremely unlikely that ProShape rx contains 1500 mg.<br />
Beet root<br />
White willow is an anti-inflammatory. It is supposed to enhance the thermogenic effect. More research is needed to substantiate this claim.<br />
L-Methionine helps breakdown fats. You should not supplement with L-Methionine unless directed by a doctor.<br />
Fenugreek is often used as a digestive aid. There is no evidence that Fenugreek contributes to weight loss.<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/green-tea-review/" >Green Tea</a> has been proven to increase metabolic rate, leading to weight loss. Unfortunately, ProShape rx does not list how much green tea it contains, making it impossible for this ProShape rx review to determine if there is enough green tea in ProShape rx diet pills to be effective.<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chitosan-review/" >Chitosan</a> has been shown to contribute to weight loss, but only when included in high doses. It would be nearly impossible for ProShape rx to contain enough Chitosan to be effective.</p>
<h3>ProShape rx Cost</h3>
<p>A one-month supply of ProShape rx diet pills costs $68.95 (with a discount for bulk purchases). This is EXTREMELY expensive for a diet pill. Considering the fact that ProShape rx does not list how much of each ingredient is included, any amount of money is too much to pay for ProShape rx.</p>
<h3>ProShape rx Guarantee</h3>
<p>ProShape rx has a 6 month guarantee. In order to get a refund, you have to use the product for 90 days first. Only unopened bottles are refunded (so you can&#8217;t get a refund if you buy one bottle at a time; you can only get a refund after 90 days, so you have to buy at least 3 bottles to get a refund). This is ProShape rx&#8217;s way of getting the most money out of you without letting you knowing they are doing it.</p>
<h3>ProShape rx &#8220;Doctor&#8221; Endorsement</h3>
<p>The ProShape rx website claims that ProShape rx diet pills are endorsed by a doctor. If you look further, you will see that the &#8220;doctor&#8221; who endorses ProShape rx is actually a psychologist, not a medical doctor. This is quite a misleading statement.</p>
<h3>ProShape rx Conclusion</h3>
<p>This ProShape rx review finds that ProShape rx does not live up to its claims. They are really no different from countless other diet pills. The ProShape rx guarantee and marketing are sketchy. Look for a diet pill company that is honest about its product. An effective diet pill contains clinically proven ingredients in proven amounts.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-541" title="phentremine-x" src="http://www.criticalorie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/phentremine-x.jpg" alt="phentremine-x" width="79" height="151" />Phentremine-X is &#8220;simply the best appetite suppressant that is available on the market today (website)&#8221;. This Phentremine-X review will scrutinize the two formulas of Phentremine-X to determine the validity in the claims about Phentremine-X as well as help you learn what you can expect from Phentremine-X diet pills.</p>
<h3>Phentremine-X Ingredients</h3>
<p>Phentremine-X has two different formulas, a Capsule Formula and a Tablet Formula. The ingredients are as follows:</p>
<p>Capsule Formula<br />
Vitamin B-12 25 mcg<br />
Chromium 25 mcg<br />
Proprietary Blend 750 mg<br />
(South African Hoodia Gordonii, Citrus Aurantium Extract, Senna 3:1 Extract, Caffeine, Evodie Extract, Alpha Lipoic Acid, White Willow Extract, Yohimbe Extract)</p>
<p>Vitamin B-12 has great health benefits. However, it has not been shown to contribute to weight loss.<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/chromium-picolinate-review/" >Chromium</a> has been shown to contribute to weight loss in some clinical studies. However, other studies have shown an opposite result.<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2007/hoodia-gordonii/" >Hoodia Gordonii</a> is an overhyped, useless ingredient. There is NO scientific evidence that hoodia contributes to weight loss.<br />
Citrus Aurantium contains Synephrine, which has been shown to contribute to weight loss. Unfortunately, Phentremine-X fails to disclose how much Citrus Aurantium it contains, making it impossible for this Phentremine-X review to determine if there is enough Citrus Aurantium in Phentremine-X to be effective.<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2007/caffeine/" >Caffeine</a> increases metabolic rate, leading to weight loss. Again, Phentremine-X does not list how much caffeine it contains, so it is impossible to know if it will actually contribute to weight loss.<br />
Evodiamine has been shown to encourage weight loss in mice. More human research needs to be done before we can endorse this ingredient.<br />
Yohimbe contributes to fatty acid mobilization, causing weight loss. Phentremine-X does not list how much Yohimbe it contains.<br />
<a href="http://www.criticalorie.com/2008/alpha-lipoic-acid-review/" >Alpha Lipoic Acid</a> (ALA) is important in creating energy. However, the human body makes enough ALA; you do not need to supplement with more.<br />
White willow is a pain reliever/anti-inflammatory. More research is needed to determine the effect of white willow on weight loss.</p>
<p>Tablet Formula<br />
Proprietary Blend 477 mg<br />
L-Phenylalanine, Synephrine, Theobromine, Caffeine, Copper Sulfate</p>
<p>L-Phenylalanine is a proven appetite suppressant. Phentremine-X does not disclose how much L-Phenylalanine is included in their proprietary blend.</p>
<p>Synephrine is also a clinically proven ingredient. However, since Phentremine-X does not list how much Synephrine it contains, there is no way to know if there is enough to cause weight loss.</p>
<p>As noted above, caffeine does contribute to weight loss, but Phentremine-X does not list how much caffeine it contains.</p>
<h3>Phentremine-X Cost</h3>
<p>One bottle of Phentremine-X capsules costs $48.95 for a one-month supply (with a discount for bulk purchases). One bottle of tablets costs $58.95 for a one-month supply (again, with a discount for bulk purchases). There is no reason to believe either Phentermine-X capsules or tablets will cause weight loss. They do not disclose how much of each ingredient is included (probably because they don&#8217;t want you to know how little is really in there). Thus, any price is too much to pay for Phentremine-X diet pills.</p>
<h3>Phentremine-X Guarantee</h3>
<p>The Phentremine-X website explains that they only accept returns of unopened bottles (so you can only get a refund if you buy more than one bottle). There is a $12 &#8220;processing&#8221; fee for all returns. If you receive bottles that are damaged and want to return them, there is a $12 return fee and a $26 damage fee (even thought the damage was not your fault).</p>
<h3>Phentremine-X Marketing</h3>
<p>The Phentremine-X website claims that Phentermine-X diet pills are, &#8220;rated number 1 diet pill for successful weight loss.&#8221; They do not explain who gave this rating. Also, they try to compare their product to Phentermine, an FDA-approved, clinically proven prescription weight loss medication. Don&#8217;t be fooled; Phentremine-X is NOT Phentermine. You will not get the same results.</p>
<h3>Phentremine-X Conclusion</h3>
<p>This Phentremine-X review finds Phentremine-X diet pills are nothing unusual. In fact, they are very much like dozens of other diet pills. They include some effective ingredients, but they fail to reveal how much of these ingredients they include. Don&#8217;t waste your money on this product. Look for one that is honest about their ingredients, one that includes proven ingredients in proven amounts.</p>
