Lipozene Is Still Around??

I couldn't believe my eyes but I just saw a late-night TV ad for Lipozene weight loss pills. WOW! This crap has been on the market since 2005/2006 and I remember very clearly all the marketing BS that surrounded it when it first came out. But I hadn't seen an ad for it in a couple of years. Given the fact that it's basically just an over-priced, over-hyped fiber supplement I assumed they'd stopped making it...

Guess I was wrong!!

How can a product with such bad reviews stick around for so long? Are people really that desperate to lose weight that they would buy something with such a bad reputation? I certainly understand the desire for truly easy weight loss results but there are so many products out there that are so much better than Lipozene!

If you want a truly effective (and cheap) fiber supplement that will fill you up, reduce hunger, control blood sugar levels, and help you lose weight faster/easier try WellBetX PGX. It has the same appetite-suppressing glucomannan/konjac fiber as Lipozene without the high price and marketing BS surrounding it. I can tell you from personal experience that PGX is a real hunger-killer.

OR... just eat a simple diet based around large amounts of unprocessed plants foods -- including veggies, fresh fruits, beans, legumes, nuts, and seeds -- and enjoy TONS of healthy, easy weight loss benefits... :D

Do you have a Lipozene review, complaint, or observation? Want to try to convince me it's really not a scam/rip-off like I think it is? Leave your comments below!

OxyElite Pro Results / Reviews?

Over the past couple of months we've gotten several requests for information about a new thermogenic fat-burner called OxyElite Pro which is made by USP Labs. People want to know if it provides real fat loss results or if it's just another rip-off/scam product. There are several reviews online and, for the most part (about 85%), they are favorable. There are however some very negative reviews out there, mostly related to unwanted side effects of taking a powerful stimulant. OxyElite Pro definitely appears to be a pretty unique product with some extremely powerful energy-boosting effects.

But the question is: does OxyElite Pro work for fast, safe fat loss?

The first thing that caught my eye regarding this diet supplement is its list of strange ingredients. It's rare to see a diet pill that's made with so many uncommon substances. 90% of legal fat loss supplements basically contain the same mix of caffeine, vitamins, amino acids, and herbal constituents. That's not the case here. OxyElite Pro contains things with weird-sounding names like: Bauhinia Purpea, Bacopa Monniera, Cirsium Oligoohylium, Rauwolscine, and 1,3-Dimethylamine.

1,3-Dimethylamine, or DMAA, I've heard of and is found in another popular USP Labs product called Jack3d. The other things appear to be plant extracts and herbal stimulants that may or me not provide real benefits.

OxyElite Pro is marketed as a "super thermogenic" that's been created by pharmacists to provide extremely fast fat loss results. The unique ingredient mix is designed to provide a "jolting" energy boost while ramping up the metabolism and eliminating appetite and food cravings. So you workout harder, burn more calories/fat, and eat less... definitely a formula for rapid weight loss.

As with all stimulant-based products, it's a good idea to drink lots of water when you're taking OxyElite Pro. You also should try to avoid it later in the day so it doesn't cause sleep problems. Start slow and slowly ramp up your intake as your body adjusts to the product's effects. For best results, you should probably avoid other caffeine products and stimulants while using OxyElite Pro.

Personally, I only like to take strong stimulants before my "heavy lifting" weight/resistance workouts. But I rarely take pills and mostly stick to strong energy drinks and "5 Hour Energy"-type supplements.

Liporidex: Any Reviews?

Does anyone have any reviews of Liporidex, the new weight loss supplement? We've gotten a few requests for info about it and so far we haven't been able to find much. We did see that the company behind the product (Nuretix) is doing a lot of marketing online right now... which would explain why so many people are looking for customer/user reviews.

A quick look shows that it's another "metabolism-booster" supplement that also promises to lower blood sugar levels (so, at least theoretically, the body is forced to burn fat for energy) and suppress appetite. Nothing on its list of ingredients really stands out. In fact they can all be found in dozens of other diet products: CLA, phenylethylamine (a cocoa extract), bitter orange extract (a stimulant), green tea, cayenne pepper, soy isoflavones, several antioxidants, and a few minerals like calcium, chromium, zinc, and magnesium.

The Liporidex web site promises to make it easier to lose weight without experiencing the negative side-effects of most stimulant-based fat-burners (e.g. feelings of jitteriness and problems sleeping). It also has a few "red flags"... including promises of anti-aging benefits and an immune system boost. It even states that taking Liporidex will make you light, lean, and energetic "like a little hummingbird". Um... ok.

Hypey promises like those usually point to a sub-par product. When a fat loss products promises to boost your immune system you should usually turn and run! Of course there are exceptions to that rule... but not many. If you've used Liporidex or know something about it please leave your own reviews, opinions, and comments in the section below. Thanks!

Cissus Quadrangularis for Weight Loss: Any Reviews?

We've been getting questions about a substance called cissus quadrangularis and its potential weight loss benefits. Only one of our writers had actually heard of the strangely-named plant before, and he only remembered reading about its apparent ability to speed healing of tendon and ligament problems in bodybuilders. Some quick research shows that it is indeed sold on several bodybuilding and health supplement sites and that it's been used to heal broken bones and snapped tendons for a very long time (possibly thousands of years!).

Information regarding weight loss and cissus quadrangularis is pretty limited though. There is one interesting study that shows some promise for using cissus as an obesity fighter. And some experts do believe that it can speed up healthy fat loss, although how the antioxidant-rich plant extract does that exactly is not understood well at all. No matter what, one thing is apparent when it comes to looking at information about cissus quadrangularis: most of it comes from people and companies who have a financial motivation to promote the plant as a "safe" and natural weight loss aid or as a tonic for any of a number of other health issues (including asthma, osteoporosis, H. pylori ulcers, and even hemorrhoids!).

There are many c. quadrangularis supplements on the market. Some of the more popular ones are Super Cissus RX, Primaforce, Aminoslim, and Cissolean. Oh, and of course Cylaris, aka "The World's Strongest Weight Loss Formula" (LOL!). If you have any experience with these or any other cissus product please leave your reviews, testimonials, and opinions in the comments area below. We're especially interested in benefits related to weight loss as well as any negative side effects you may have experienced while taking the product. Thank you!
