CarboCurb Review

CarboCurb Review

This is a supplement that claims to block carbohydrate absorption by inhibiting the digestive enzymes that process carbs into sugar and then into fat. There are a great deal of carb blockers on the market today that don’t work. The question is does CarboCurb really work? I would go into a deeper explanation of how the ingredients work in this product if I could find them! I would never take a product that I didn’t know the ingredients even if it was free. It makes me wonder why they wouldn’t list the ingredients.

If this product works as well as the makers say why don’t they have any testimonials on their web page?

Testimonials, and a list of ingredients and how they work is a must when buying any weight loss supplement.

Carbo Curb costs $57.00 per bottle plus $9.95 S&H. This is too expensive for a carb blocker with no scientific evidence to back its claims.

You are not likely going to see significant weight loss from this mystery product if any at all. They do offer a money back guarantee but I personally don’t think its even worth your time to try CarboCurb.

Ambislim PM Review

Ambislim PM Review

This is an interesting diet pill. The purpose of this diet pill is meant to help you sleep better and at the same time help you loose weight. Talk about killing two birds with one stone. But does Ambislim PM really work?

This product contains two different proprietary blends. One blend for weight loss and the other is a sleep aid blend. What I hate is that they do not tell you how many milligrams is in either of the blends. This makes me worried that the product may have a high filler content used to cut on costs.

Ambislim web-page states if you want to see results you need to use Ambislim continuously for three months. That’s along time to use any kind of weight loss aid without seeing the results.

These warnings are on Ambislim PMs web-page “Discontinue using if you begin hallucinating. Never mix with prescription medications. Individual results will vary.

Price: Retails for $59.99 per bottle but they do offer deals.

Pros

- Testimonials on their web-page

- Informative webpage

- Bulk rate deals

Cons

- Proprietary blend that doesn’t even have mg information

- Expensive

- May develop a dependency

Conclusion

I think the new idea of a sleeping aid and weight loss supplement combined is a good idea, but I think you need to get the formulation of ingredient amount right. Look into Liponesta it is a similar product that I found that looks impressive. For supplements that really work and have been recommended by experts keep reading.

Animal Cuts Review

Animal Cuts Review

This product is a supplement designed to help professional bodybuilders lose water weight to help them look more ripped or cut just before a competition. If you are trying to loose fat this is not the product for you. I would not recommend long term use of a diuretic like this product because it could lead to dehydration and numerous health problems.

Animal cuts contains ephedrine, caffeine, and an aspirin-derivative. The makers call it a “classic E/C/A stack”. This is definitely not the healthiest or best approach to weight loss. Each Animal Cuts pack contains 200 mg of caffeine. Recommended use is two packets per day. That comes to 400 mg of caffeine per day. That is the equivalent of almost 8 cups of coffee a day. A combination of so many stimulants can cause headaches, jitteriness, and dependency problems.

I would not recommend this product to anyone but hardcore, professional body builders and even then I do so with caution. This product needs to be used with caution.

Price: Around $24.00 for 42 1 serving packs.

Conclusion

Animal cuts contains some descent ingredients but these ingredients can be found in better fat burners that shed true pounds long term.

Look below for products that I have found to have proven ingredients that are also healthy for the body.

Appuloss Review

Appuloss Review

This product claims to oxidize fat and combat diet fatigue. Appuloss has a signature pink capsule which they combined with their IRG Immediate Release Granule-technology. They claim this technology allows “powerful herbal granules to release immediately in the stomach”. I have never heard of this before and I am not really sure why its suppose to be so great. Apparently they aren’t so sure either because they don’t elaborate about IRG on their web page. I don’t think Immediate release would make a difference in a supplement anyways.

This product contains Konjac Root a dietary fiber that helps you feel full. It also contains Rhodiola Rosea which may help improve exercise endurance. Both of these ingredients may improve your health and overall well being but they are not going to help all that much with weight loss.

If you are seriously considering buying this product I would go to their website and look over the very long list of warnings and contraindications before buying.

Price: Around $22.00 for 60 Capsules

This is an average diet pill if you want to lose a couple pounds. Look below for diet pills that are top rated by many professionals and contain great consumer reviews.

BioSlim Review

BioSlim Review

This product is a natural weightloss supplement that claims to make “positive changes to a user’s underlying metabolism.” However, they do not go into detail about how their product accomplishes this.

On the web page of BioSlim they offer a variety of things such as a food plan with recipes and activity planner to help you with exercising effectively. This is a good idea because a key part of losing weight has to do with food intake and exercise. However, no matter how hard we try to do these two things it just isn’t enough for most of us. So let’s take a look at the BioSlim formula they also sell on their webpage.

These are the main ingredients in BioSlim:

-Green Tea

-Pyruvate

-Chromium

-Fatty Acid Synthase (FAS) Inhibitors

They go in to detail on their web page about each of these ingredients so I won’t do that here. These are ok ingredients that you may see minimal weight loss from. There are newer and more innovative ingredients out there now that you will see more results from.

Price: There are 60 tablets per bottle.

Club Price: $29.95

Non-Club List Price: $39.50

Conclusion

While doing my research I have come to believe that BioSlim is an ok product. You may see minimal weight loss. Look below for weight loss supplements that produce more dramatic, fat scorching results.

Accelis Review

Accelis Review

This product claims to be “a revolutionary stimulant-free weight-loss supplement that can help you lose an average of 10.65 pounds fast.” It uses corosolic acid to help control blood sugar levels. I would not use the word Revolutionary to describe the diet pill Accelis. I didn’t find anything new or advanced in the ingredients.

This product contains a blend of three caffeine free tea extracts including goolong tea, white tea, and, green tea. Green tea has been known as an amazing fat burner for years. I don’t think that this caffeine free formula will have the same fat burning effects. Accelis online runs somewhere around $18 for 40 gel caps. Serving size is two capsules per day.

Look at the other ingredients in Accelis and see what you think. I’m not sure about you but I was shocked when I saw this list. This diet pill may not use stimulants but in my opinion some of these things look a lot worse. Ammonium hydroxide for example is found in many industrial products and cleaners such as flooring strippers, brick cleaners, and cements. Does that sound healthy to you?

Other Ingredients:Soybean oil, gelatin, glycerin, yellow beeswax, purified water, soy lecithin, titanium dioxide, FD&C Blue No. 1, maltodextrin, shellac glaze, n-butyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, propylene glycol, ammonium hydroxide

While reading customer reviews I found that some Accelis users are having side effects such as indigestion, nausea, and dizziness.

Conclusion

I personally wouldn’t take Accelis nor would I recommend it. This is not an effective fat burning product and frankly the inactive ingredients in Accelis alarm me. Below there are other fat burners that experts say are safe and highly effective.

8-FX by MRI Review

Monday, April 21st, 2008

8-FX by MRI Review

This product claims that 8-FX is the 8-point solution to optimal fat loss. These are the 8 points it’s suppose to target:

1.Increase metabolism

2. Promote fat oxidation

3. Support optimal thyroid activity

4. Increase focus and alertness

5. Increase energy

6. Enhance mood

7. Increase norepinephrine, the thermogenic “activator”

8. Stimulate cAMP- mediated fat breakdown

The MRI 8-FX website looks very impressive. Something I was not impressed by however was their scientific research backing their claims. They talk a lot about ” triggering your body’s Redaptive Response” so “your body can now let go of the fat”. On the bottle they claim their product is “enhanced with RRT” Redaptive Response Technology. I found this to sound interesting so I searched everywhere to learn more about RRT, but I couldn’t find one thing about it. It sounds like something that was made up.

Pros

- accessible online and in stores

- impressive website

- contains a patented form of Chromium called “Chromulin”

Cons

- very expensive with no money back guarantee

- minimal weight loss from consumers

- contains the inactive ingredient ” rice flour” a problem for people with wheat allergies

- high caffeine content that could lead to dependence or jitteriness

Price: $59.99 on MRI’s website and at GNC. I did find it other places online for $45.78.

Conclusion

In conclusion this product does contain a few good ingredients, but nothing that could provide the 8 results they claim. In my opinion 8-FX is trying to offer too much and as a result doesn’t effectively accomplish anything but minimal weight loss. Keep reading to learn more about the most effective and affordable diet pills on the market.

Accuslim Review

Accuslim Review

This product claims to be an advanced fat burner. It is said to ”contain some of the most well-known and most-effective-but hardly used-weight loss nutrients”. If they are so effective why are they hardly used in other diet pills? These are some of the ingredients Chromium, Green Tea Lefa, Advantra Z, Oriental Ginseng, Garcnina Cambogia and Artic Root.

Chromium and green tea are descent ingredients but are nothing new to the diet industry. There are thousands of diet pills with both of these ingredients and if your like me you have probably taken more than one of them. The other ingredients I find to lack professional research.

Price: Accuslim retails for $49.95 but can be found much cheaper online.

Pros

- comes with 90 tablets a months supply

- contains chromium and green tea

Cons

- comes in tablet form which is hard for your body to break down

- very expensive

- no money back guarantee

- no studies or scientific research to back their claims

Conclusion

The makers of Accuslim make the claim that it will “get even the most stubborn metabolisms moving”. It doesn’t contain the ingredients to make this claim a realistic. If you are serious about results this is not the diet pill for you. Want results? Keep reading for affordable diet pills that are proven fat burners.
