<p>Overall, we like this product, but a poor rating with the Better Business Bureau and a lack of human trials prevents Apidexin from being our top pick. [Link to our review of Aspire here].</p>

<p class="highlight"><a id="anchor" name="anchor"></a>Apidexin is alright</p>
<h2>Safety and Quality</h2>
<p>Apidexin’s eight, fancily named, patent-pending ingredients are actually just common natural herbs. Most of these ingredients are considered safe and effective, though we’re worried about the lack of human trials, as well as the company’s failure to disclose the exact dosages.</p>
<p>Fucoxanthin is actually is made of wakame—a Japanese seaweed. A study Hokkaido University showed that wakame burns fatty tissues in mice.</p>
<p>Razberi-K is made from raspberry ketone. A peer-reviewed study published in Life Sciences shows that when given to mice in high enough doses, it prevents the weight gain caused by high-fat diets.</p>
<p>Guggul EZ 100 is made from guggulsterones. Studies show this Indian herb lowers cholesterol.</p>
<p>Thermodiamine is actually the chemical plant extract evodiamine. A 2001 study shows that it reduces fat intake in mice.</p>
<p>Forslean is made of Forskolin, which is derived from an Indian plant. A study published in Obesity Research showed it to significantly increase lean mass, bone mass, and testosterone, making it a good bodybuilding supplement.</p>
<p>Lipolide-SC comes from clary sage, which is widely considered safe, and reduces cramps and bloating.</p>
<p>Infinergy DiCaffeine Malate is a combination of caffeine and malic acid. While caffeine is known to boost energy and suppress appetite, there are no studies linking malic acid to weight loss.</p>
<p>Bioperine is a pure piperine extract obtained from black pepper, which increases the absorption of a number of vitamins and nutrients.</p>
<p>Side-effects of Apidexin may include sleepiness and headaches.</p>
<h2>Effectiveness</h2>
<p>Apidexin promises you’ll lose 4-7 pounds a week. Most consumers see results within the first week.</p>
<h2>Cost</h2>
<p>To buy Apidexin, it will cost you $49.99 for a one-month supply.</p>
<h2>Customer Service</h2>
<p>Apidexin doesn’t reveal any connections to nutraceutical companies, which our researchers find suspicious. The mailing address lists Health Science Nutrition, which has no record with the Better Business Bureau. Many of its patent-pending ingredients are manufactured by Integrity, another company with no BBB record. The BBB gives Apidexin.com an F rating.</p>
<p>Reviews of Apidexin, however, are generally positive:</p>
<p>“I started at 130lbs and at the end of my second day I had already lost 2 pounds.<br />
Overall I love it. No side effects, it&#8217;s working, and I&#8217;m not sitting all day on the &#8220;pot&#8221; like some other diet pills have been known to cause.” – Nancy</p>
<p>“I just started using Apidexin on Monday. I haven&#8217;t weighed myself yet but I feel my pants getting more loose on me.” &#8212; Janelle</p>
<h2>Money-back Guarantee</h2>
<p>Apidexin does not offer a money-back guarantee.</p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>Apidexin has proven ingredients—at least for mice—and consumer reviews regard it highly. While not the best option out there, Apidexin is one of our <a title="Top Ranked Products" href="http://www.dietresearch.com/top-ranked-products/">top-ranked products</a>. <a title="Top Ranked Products" href="http://www.dietresearch.com/top-ranked-products/">Click here</a> to see more.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1 style="text-align: center;">CortiSlim Reviewed</h1>
<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-166" title="cortislim" src="http://www.dietresearch.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/cortislim.jpg" alt="cortislim" />CortiSlim is a diet supplement available in four variations designed to suppress the stress hormone Cortisol and thereby prevent users from overeating due to stress. The pill also makes bold claims that their unique weight loss system can help anyone prone to stress-related eating lose weight. This claim is also completely unproven.</p>
<p>And as a result of its unfounded claims, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) pursued a class action suit against the company for false advertising, imposing a crippling $12 million fine in 2007</p>
<p>Accompanying the diet pill is the “CortiSlim Lifestyle Diet Plan” that claims to be a practical guide to nutrition and exercise designed to accelerate the weight loss effects of CortiSlim’s proprietary blend of extracts.</p>
<p>The review staff at DietResearch.com does not recommend CortiSlim at all and advise customers to stay away from the product as it also includes the harmful ephedra-derivative, bitter orange peel.</p>
<p><strong><a href="#anchor">Click here</a></strong> to read our in-depth, five-point review of CortiSlim<br />
Or<br />
<strong><a title="Top Ranked Products" href="http://www.dietresearch.com/top-ranked-products/">Click here</a></strong> to see our top-ranked products</p>
<p class="highlight"><a id="anchor" name="anchor"></a>CortiSlim is Slim on Details</p>
<h2>Safety and Quality</h2>
<p>The staff experts at DietResearch.com note that a full ingredient list is not mentioned on the CortiSlim product page. And of particular concern is that one of the proprietary formulations of the pill contains bitter orange peel extract, the appetite-suppressing compound that is known to mimic the adverse health reactions of the FDA banned substance, ephedra.</p>
<p>The presence of bitter orange peel is enough for DietResearch.com’s team of reviewers to chuck the product in the trash. The compound is known to result in adverse health reactions such as stroke, angina, and ischemic colitis.</p>
<h2>Effectiveness</h2>
<p>There is no clinical proof that CortiSlim blocks the hormone cortisol, or even to a degree that would curb over-eating as originally claimed.</p>
<p>And customer reviews of the diet pill are just as confusing.</p>
<p>“I have not had any weight loss with this product…” says one customer online, “I will still take Cortislim for stress because that is what it works for. You will probably not lose weight with it though.”</p>
<p>The official CortiSlim Website features a vague FAQ section that advises users not to weigh themselves for the first 30 days of using the product—and even goes as far as to recommend that the scale be thrown out during use of the pill. Perhaps they don’t want you to realize that you won’t lose weight on their product!</p>
<p>And the presence of the “CortiSlim Lifestyle Diet Plan” calls to question the product’s inherent effectiveness. If the pill is so potent, one must ask why a detailed regimen of exercise and healthy eating is even required.</p>
<p>With no proven results, contradictory customer testimonials, and a questionable diet plan tacked onto the product, the reviewers at DietResearch.com do not recommend CortiSlim as an effective weight loss product.</p>
<h2>Cost</h2>
<p>A single bottle of CortiSlim contains 90 pills and costs $39.99. However, at Window Rock’s recommended dosage of two to three pills twice a day, you will roughly burn through a bottle in two weeks. A month of CortiSlim would then cost an upwards of $80.00.</p>
<h2>Customer Service</h2>
<p>Window Rock Enterprises, the makers of CortiSlim has an “F” rating with the Better Business Bureau. The rating alone is enough to avoid the product.</p>
<p>In early 2007, the FTC announced that it fined the manufacturers $12 million for making unsupported claims of “dramatic weight loss” in their marketing.</p>
<h2>Money-back Guarantee</h2>
<p>One thing the review staff did like about CortiSlim is that they offer a 60-day money-back guarantee on their product.</p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>Considering the controversy surrounding the product—from it’s unproven claims, FTC fines, and inclusion of an ingredient known to be potentially fatal—our review experts agree that it’s best to avoid CortiSlim altogether and stick to an all natural and safe diet supplement instead.

Vanquish is a discontinued weight loss supplement originally manufactured by SAN Nutrition.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1 style="text-align: center;">Vanquish Reviewed</h1>
<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-166" title="vanquish" src="http://www.dietresearch.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/vanquish.jpg" alt="vanquish"  />Vanquish is a discontinued weight loss supplement originally manufactured by SAN Nutrition. </p>
<p>The diet pill is designed to aid in weight loss by suppressing appetite though the use of the popular all natural plant, Hoodia gordonii.</p>
<p>Vanquish also regulates levels of the neuron-building serotonin with the extract of Griffonia simplicifolia seed.</p>
<p>Troubling is the fact that SAN Nutrition no longer mentions Vanquish on their website. The product is only available through third-party vendors, which implies that the makers weren’t very confident in their product initially, and are trying hard to distance themselves from the brand.</p>
<p><strong><a href="#anchor">Click here</a></strong> to read our in-depth, five-point review of Vanquish<br />

<p class="highlight"><a id="anchor" name="anchor"></a>Vanquish Will Make Your Money Disappear </p>
<h2>Safety and Quality</h2>
<p>Of note is another active ingredient in Vanquish, Pyrodoxine HCl, more commonly known on health food store shelves as the vitamin B6. The vitamin, which assists in brain development, is generally considered safe in doses under 200mg/day. Studies however have shown a link between excessive B6 overdosing and an increased prevalence of neurological disorders in women. </p>
<p>Usually this would not be a problem, but as Vanquish is now only available as a third-party product, concerns by our review staff have been raised that the brand no longer has any sort of quality control to fall back on.  </p>
<h2>Effectiveness</h2>
<p>The appetite suppressing compound Hoodia is the only active weight loss ingredient found in Vanquish—while proven to shed weight, customers expecting more from the diet pill might be disappointed in the product’s barebones formulation.</p>
<p>Griffonia simplicifolia extract is a supplement that naturally contains the neurotransmitter-building compound 5-HTP. SAN originally claimed that this helped elevate user moods and activity levels, making the process of burning pounds a more active, fun experience.</p>
<h2>Cost</h2>
<p>On average, supplies of Vanquish diet pills cost $32.95 for 60 capsules. If you take the maximum recommended dose of 8 capsules per day, one bottle will last about a week. The reviewers at DietResearch.com agree that paying roughly $131.80 a month is too steep for an officially discontinued product.</p>
<h2>Customer Feedback</h2>
<p>The Better Business Bureau gives Vanquish’s original makers, SAN Nutrition a “B-” in overall consumer satisfaction, a higher grade than most diet pill manufacturers receive.</p>
<h2>Money-back Guarantee</h2>
<p>When Vanquish originally debuted it was offered along with a 30 day 100% money-back guarantee. Our team believes that 30 days is hardly enough time for any customer to make an informed opinion on the product’s effectiveness. However, this is a moot point, as any mention of the product has been completely scrubbed from SAN Nutrition’s official website. </p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>Considering the steep price for Vanquish, the experts at DietResearch.com agree that the only way to make pounds disappear is by exercise, healthy eating, and the use of an effective, all herbal diet supplement. Browse our list of <a href="http://www.dietresearch.com/top-ranked-products/">best diet pills</a> to make an informed decision.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1 style="text-align: center;">Xenical Reviewed</h1>
<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-166" title="Xencial" src="http://www.dietresearch.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/Xencial-300x300.jpg" alt="Xencial" width="210" height="210" />This prescription weight-loss drug will cause you to shed your pounds, your pants, and your dignity.</p>
<p>Xenical side effects—oily anal discharge and uncontrollable bowel movements—outweigh its weight-loss benefits in our opinion.</p>
<p>Xenical is a last-resort drug, prescribed only to extremely obese persons. But even if you have a BMI of over 30 and are desperate for an effective weight-loss medication, emerging health concerns about Orlistat—Xenical’s active ingredient—send up more red flags than a parade in China.</p>
<p>Xenical barely meets any of our five criteria.</p>
<p><strong><a href="#anchor">Click here</a></strong> to read our in-depth five-point review of Xenical.<br />
Or<br />
<strong><a title="Top Ranked Products" href="http://www.dietresearch.com/top-ranked-products/">Click here</a></strong> to browse our top-ranked products.</p>
<p class="highlight"><a id="anchor" name="anchor"></a>Xenical not worth the risks</p>
<h2>Safety and Quality</h2>
<p>Zenical’s active ingredient is Orlistat, a proven weight-loss drug that blocks the enzymes that break down fat.</p>
<p>However, when fat isn’t broken down in the body, it has to go somewhere. That’s why common Xenical side effects include “gas with oily discharge, an increased number of bowel movements, an urgent need to have them, and an inability to control them, particularly after meals containing higher amounts of fat than are recommended.”</p>
<p>Orlistat also blocks the absorption of essential fat-soluble nutrients like Vitamin A, D, and E.</p>
<p>The FDA is currently investigating a possible link between Orlistat and severe liver damage.</p>
<h2>Effectiveness</h2>
<p>Xenical users report weight loss, though at the high cost of losing bowel control. Also, Xenicol tells its users to follow the American Heart Association diet, which only allows 30 per cent of calorie intake to come from fat. A significant percentage of the weight-loss associated with Xenical can likely be attributed to this strict diet.</p>
<h2>Cost</h2>
<p>Because Xenical weight-loss pills are prescription only, price will vary with insurance, but on its own, a one-month supply costs $300 – about 10 times more than the average dietary herbal supplement found on our list of <a href="http://www.dietresearch.com/top-ranked-products/">best diet pills</a>.</p>
<h2>Customer Service</h2>
<p>The FDA discussed orlistat’s potential link to hepatoxicity—chemical driven liver damage—at an April 16, 2009 Drug Safety Oversight Board meeting. They are still reviewing the drug’s safety.</p>
<p>Check out the following Xenical reviews:</p>
<p>“You definitely get the fat out, but you end up on the toilet a lot and you can&#8217;t always be sure you&#8217;ve gotten there quickly enough. i don&#8217;t want to be too graphic, but read the warnings on the pack and be prepared for some difficult moments!” – Sheidi</p>
<p>“My doctor actually prescribed that to me about a year ago.. while it actually helped to loose weight it was a total b*tch to use! Basically it stops your body absorbing fat.. so if you ate a meal with too much fat content in it.. it resulted in basically very bad results! I was forever suffering from dioreha&#8230; was not nice at all. I don&#8217;t recomend this drug to anyone! I certainly wouldnt take it again.. made life hell for me.” – Pinky</p>
<h2>Money-back guarantee</h2>
<p>Xenical is a prescription drug and does not offer any refund opportunities.</p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>Xenical is expensive, possibly dangerous, and quite frankly, gross. DietResearch.com instead recommends a balanced lifestyle paired with a natural herbal weight-loss supplement. Check out our rankings of the <a href="http://www.dietresearch.com/top-ranked-products/">top diet pills</a> to evaluate your choices.</p>

<p>Is eating fewer calories and talking to friends a healthy and effective weight-loss strategy? Yes. Is it worth $39.99 a month? No.</p>
<p>Weight Watchers pairs a low-calorie diet with support meetings. Essentially, they charge people for something they can get for free. Maybe their spokesperson, the Duchess of York, can afford to throw money away, but the average consumer can not.</p>

<p class="highlight"><a id="anchor" name="anchor"></a>Watch out for the Weight Watchers scam</p>
<h2>Safety and Quality</h2>
<p>Weight Watchers works on a diet point system. Different foods have a certain amount of points associated with them, and dieters must remain within their assigned quota.</p>
<p>But these “points” are just calories. So as long as you eat fewer than your assigned calories, you can eat whatever kind of food you want.</p>
<p>On Weight Watchers, you can eat only cheesecakes and burgers—as long as you don’t eat too many­ cheesecakes and burgers. Our health experts cannot support diet that encourages unhealthy foods, even in reduced portions. A balanced diet is essential to healthy weight loss.</p>
<h2>Effectiveness</h2>
<p>Eating fewer calories will cause you to lose weight. But by encouraging people to eat whatever they want, they’re also inviting people to slip off the wagon. It doesn’t help people that the program contains no energy-boosting exercise or fat-burning supplements. That’s why so many people have trouble getting thin on Weigt Watchers.<br />
A 2005 study in the Journal of the American Medical Association showed that people in Weight Watchers lost just 3 kilograms a year.</p>
<h2>Cost</h2>
<p>A Weightwatchers membership is $39.95 a month. If you stay on the program for one year, you’ll be paying $479.40 to lose 3 kg—oh, and to talk about it.</p>
<h2>Customer Service</h2>
<p>Weight Watchers has a dismal F rating with the Better Business Bureau.</p>
<h2>Money-back guarantee</h2>
<p>Weight Watchers does not offer a money-back guarantee.</p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>DietResearch.com recommends you monitor your calorie intake and talk to your peers about your weight-loss journey. However, we do not recommend you pay $40 a month to do it. Instead, compliment your low-calorie diet (of healthy food!) with a natural supplement.

<p>This dietary supplement derived from dairy products will milk you for all you’re worth.<br />
Ultra 90 lures consumers with free trials and two-for-one deals, but they offer no product guarantee whatsoever. This fat burner only wants to burn a hole in your wallet.</p>

<p class="highlight"><a id="anchor" name="anchor"></a>Ultra 90 is ultra bad</p>
<h2>Safety and Quality</h2>
<p>Not for vegetarians, Ultra 90 diet pills contain random filler ingredients like bees wax, fish collagen, and gelatin, while its two active ingredients aim to mimic the nutritional value of meat and dairy products while avoiding the fat associated with them.<br />
Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) occurs naturally in meat and dairy, and peer-reviewed journals show that it significantly reduces body fat.<br />
But, while naturally occurring CLA boasts many health benefits, its supplement counterpart can reduce insulin production and hamper the body’s ability to fight off dangerous toxins and free radicals.<br />
Hydroxyproline is a protein supplement, but unlike naturally occurring protein, it doesn’t have a full supply of essential amino acids.</p>
<h2>Effectiveness</h2>
<p>CLA is proven to reduce body fat, but to get the best effect, you’ll have to take a lot of Ultra 90 diet pills, spend a lot of money, and endanger your health. For a better alternative, read about the <a href="http://www.dietresearch.com/top-ranked-products/">best diet pills</a>.</p>
<h2>Cost</h2>
<p>A one-month supply of Ultra 90 diet pills costs $39.99. However, the website will entice you to spend more money suggesting you need both the daytime and nighttime formulas to see results. That means Ultra 90 really costs almost $80 per month.<br />
The site says you need to take Ultra 90 for at least three months to see results, and tries to convince you to buy a six-month supply all at once.<br />
Since Ultra 90 is perpetually on sale, it’s actually never actually on sale. Instead of buying into this Ultra 90 scam, check out DietResearch.com’s top-ranked products.</p>

<p>Healthy Solutions of Illinois, Ultra 90’s makers, have a satisfactory rating on the Better Business Bureau, but users have vented their customer service frustrations on the Internet.<br />
“I just received my first bottle of Ultra 90 yesterday. I&#8217;m so confused. there are like 3 ingredients on the bottle and it says something to the effect that there may be more ingredients in it than that&#8230;.</p>
<p>But, it doesn&#8217;t have any of the ingredients on the bottle that the website says it does.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve called, but the person who answered said she didn&#8217;t know what was in it. She only took orders. I also emailed yesterday and still no response. I really want to get started&#8230;but I&#8217;m afraid that there is something in this stuff that will harm me. It seems awful shady that the bottle lists different ingredients from the website.”&#8211;Patty</p>
<h2>Money-back guarantee</h2>
<p>Sometimes you have to cut through the BS to cut through the fat. The Ultra 90 diet is not consumer friendly, and we recommend against it. Instead, take a look at our top ranked products.</p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>Given the evidence—or rather lack of evidence—surrounding Tonalin’s one ingredient, DietResearch.com cannot recommend this product. Instead, check out the complete dietary supplements in our guide of the <a href="http://www.dietresearch.com/top-ranked-products/">top diet pills</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1 style="text-align: center;">Tonalin Reviewed</h1>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-399" title="tonalin" src="http://www.dietresearch.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/tonalin.jpg" alt="tonalin" width="234" height="95" />Tonalin is simply a brand name for conjugated linoleic acid (CLA)—a weight-loss ingredient that has shown mixed results in clinical studies.</p>
<p>The health experts at DietResearch.com do not necessarily recommend against products containing CLA, but we do recommend products that contain more than just CLA.</p>
<p>With something as simple as Tonalin supplements, you won’t get a lot of bang for your buck.</p>

<p class="highlight"><a id="anchor" name="anchor"></a>There’s not much to Tonalin</p>
<h2>Safety and Quality</h2>
<p>Tonalin is a brand name version of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). When CLA occurs naturally in meat and dairy, it inhibits enzymes that breaks down fat in the body. Some clinical studies have shown CLA to promote weight-loss in obese and overweight animals and humans.</p>
<p>However, other studies—including one published in the Journal of Lipid Studies in 2003—have shown the weight-loss effects to be minimal compared to the risks. Chemical CLA has been linked to liver damage and an increased likelihood of diabetes.</p>
<p>“Although CLA appears to attenuate increases in body weight and body fat in several animal models, CLA isomers sold as dietary supplements are not effective as weight loss agents in humans and may actually have adverse effects on human health,” reads the study.</p>
<h2>Effectiveness</h2>
<p>The effectiveness of CLA is debated among medical professionals, and the experts at DietResearch.com believe that even if CLA works, one ingredient is not enough for a diet supplement. The supplements on our list of <a href="http://www.dietresearch.com/top-ranked-products/">best diet pills</a> have complete and effective weight-loss formulas.</p>
<h2>Cost</h2>
<p>A one-month supply will cost $15 to $20. This is a good price for a natural supplement, but too much for one ingredient—especially one as controversial as CLA.</p>
<h2>Customer Service</h2>
<p>Cognis Group makes Tonalin, but they have no rating with the Better Business Bureau.</p>
<h2>Money-back guarantee</h2>
<p>Tonalin is not backed with any guarantee.</p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>Given the evidence—or rather lack of evidence—surrounding Tonalin’s one ingredient, DietResearch.com cannot recommend this product. Instead, check out the <a href="http://www.dietresearch.com/top-ranked-products/">top diet pills</a> in our top-ranked product list.</p>

The South Beach Diet—which allows you to eat “good” carbs while avoiding “bad” carbs—is based on controversial and unproven weight-loss theories.
When your health and money are on the line, it’s not worth the risk to bet on an unsure thing.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1 style="text-align: center;">South Beach Diet Reviewed</h1>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-395" title="south-beach-diet" src="http://www.dietresearch.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/south-beach-diet.jpg" alt="south-beach-diet" width="207" height="280" />The South Beach Diet—which allows you to eat “good” carbs while avoiding “bad” carbs—is based on controversial and unproven weight-loss theories.</p>
<p>When your health and money are on the line, it’s not worth the risk to bet on an unsure thing.</p>

<p class="highlight"><a id="anchor" name="anchor"></a>No bikinis on the South Beach Diet</p>
<h2>Safety and Quality</h2>
<p>There’s nothing unhealthy about the foods recommended in the South Beach Diet. Most are high in nutrients and low in fat. But don’t be confused—this is not a low-carb diet.</p>
<h2>Effectiveness</h2>
<p>While the foods are reasonable, the science behind the diet is questionable.</p>
<p>South Beach dieting uses the Glycemic Index to distinguish between “good” carbs and “bad” carbs. This index ranks carbs on their ability to affect blood glucose. Food with good carbs (or a low Glycemic Index) is supposed to facilitate weight loss.</p>
<p>But the legitimacy of the Glycemic Index is debated. A study at the University of South Carolina&#8217;s Arnold School of Public Health found the Index did not relate to blood glucose levels at all.</p>
<p>&#8220;In general, the Glycemic Index does not seem to be useful in understanding how diet impacts health, and use of the Glycemic Index may not be an effective way to identify foods for optimal health,&#8221; said Dr. Elizabeth Mayer-Davis, a diabetes researcher.</p>
<h2>Cost</h2>
<p>Membership is $5 a week, but the makers of the South Beach Diet will try to push their other weight-loss products on you.</p>
<p>At $21 for a box of bars, $27 for drink mixes, $12 for a DVD guide, $10 for a book, and another $5 a week for nutritional counseling—the full South Beach Diet package could end up costing you well over $100 a month. That’s a lot of money to bet on a debunked theory.</p>
<h2>Customer Service</h2>
<p>The South Beach Diet has a lowly F rating with the Better Business Bureau for the “number of complaints filed against” them and their “failure to respond to complaints filed.”</p>
<h2>Money-back guarantee</h2>
<p>The South Beach Diet does not stand behind any of its products with a money-back guarantee.</p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>There is no evidence the South Beach Diet will get you any thinner than a beached whale. And for the price you’ll be paying, you could probably feed that whale for a year. DietResearch.com instead recommends you diet on your own terms and take a natural supplement curb your cravings. Look at our rankings of the <a href="http://www.dietresearch.com/top-ranked-products/">best diet pills</a> to learn about your options.</p>

<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-392" title="Slimquick" src="http://www.dietresearch.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/Slimquick.jpg" alt="Slimquick" width="200" height="240" />While Slimquick brands itself as a dietary supplement made just for women, our experts found nothing in its so-called “revolutionary formula” that lends credibility to this audacious claim.</p>
<p>In fact, the women-specific ingredients are mostly just herbs that alleviate menstrual cramps—only a small percentage are geared towards weight loss.</p>
<p>We discovered that users are frequently dissatisfied with Slimquick, to the extent that many opted to vent their frustrations in court.</p>
<p><strong><a href="#anchor">Click here</a></strong> to read our in-depth five-point review of Slimquick.<br />
Or<br />
<strong><a title="Top Ranked Products" href="http://www.dietresearch.com/top-ranked-products/">Click here</a></strong> to browse our top-ranked products.</p>
<p class="highlight"><a id="anchor" name="anchor"></a>Slimquick neither quick, nor slimming</p>
<h2>Safety and Quality</h2>
<p>Slimquick is made up of “six exclusive complexes,” each sporting a pseudo-scientific name like Aquaplex, or Estrotrim.</p>
<p>Our researchers at DietResearch.com cut through the jargon and examined the actual ingredients in Slimquick. We found that many of them boast a variety of health benefits, but only a few will help you lose weight.</p>
<p>The Estrotrim Complex contains vitex agnus-castus, which relieves menstrual cramps; and soy isoflavones, which boost estrogen levels.</p>
<p>The Cortifem Complex contains cholesterol-reducing beta-sisosterol, recovery-speeding phophatidylserine, performance enhancing rhodiola rosea extract, and mood-enhancing and theanine.</p>
<p>The Aquaplex Complex has dandelion leaf, a vitamin-filled diuretic; and horse tail extract, a calcium-storing diuretic.</p>
<p>The Xtend Complex has food additives, vitamins, and black pepper.</p>
<p>Only the Nutritherm Complex seems to really focus on weight loss, with green tea leaf to boost metabolism and burn fat; cocoa bean to increase fat release, and yerba mate leaf to hike energy and quell hunger. Oh, and also—for some reason—clary sage to relieve PMS cramps.</p>
<p>All in all, only a small portion of Slimquick will help you lose weight. More than half of what you’re paying for is a combination of filler and PMS relief.</p>
<p>Slimquick’s formula also has some questionable ingredients, like uva ursi, which can be toxic in large doses; and hydroquinone, which has been linked to liver damage in animal tests.</p>
<h2>Effectiveness</h2>
<p>Since some of Slimquick’s ingredients are proven to facilitate weight loss, our researchers have concluded the product works—sometimes.</p>
<p>Slimquick reviews show mixed results, and Slim quick shies away from any promises, noting that results will vary.</p>
<p>When it comes to your money and health, DietResearch.com doesn’t think Slimquick is worth the gamble. Check out the <a href="http://www.dietresearch.com/top-ranked-products/">best diet pills</a> instead.</p>
<h2>Cost</h2>
<p>A bottle of 120 capsules—or a one-month’s supply—will run you $32.49. Compared to other supplements on the market, this is a decent price. But given the value of the product, it still may not be worth it to buy Slimquick.</p>
<h2>Customer Service</h2>
<p>The makers of Slimquick—NxCare, NxLabs, and Wellnx Life Sciences—have no rating whatsoever with the Better Business Bureau. But with a little digging, we discovered the companies have a history of deception.</p>
<p>In 2007, two women sued the makers of Slimquick for false advertising and deceptive trade practice, after discovering that two of the women who gave testimonials in the products&#8217; packing were in relationships with company officials. By 2008, consumers from 16 states joined in filing lawsuits against the company.</p>
<p>Consumers have also spoken out against Slimquick online:</p>
<p>“Slimquick doesn&#8217;t work, at all! I took a full month of the Slimquick Extreme, the next month I teamed it with the Slimquick Cleanse (followed directions) and nothing. I used the water flavor packets, and followed the diet and exercise plan&#8230;a big fat nothing, other than me standing there angry at the scale. Not even a pound for encouragement!” &#8212; Steph</p>
<p>“I started taking it to try and help me drop like 10 pnds and I acutally gained weight.  I kept the same lifestyle as before I started taking the pill, I didn&#8217;t eat alot, I worked out a couple times a week&#8230;.at first I thought it was imagining it but I really was gaining weight!!  Based on my experiance i would definitly NOT recommend this product!!” – Megan C</p>
<h2>Money-back guarantee</h2>
<p>Slimquick does not stand behind its product with a money-back guarantee.</p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>Slim quick is a glorified PMS pill that may or may not help you lose weight. Factor in the company’s dishonest reputation, and we’d say there’s a slim chance you’ll be getting your money’s worth. Check out our rankings of the <a href="http://www.dietresearch.com/top-ranked-products/">top diet pills</a> instead.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1 style="text-align: center;">Slim Shot reviewed</h1>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-164" title="Slimshot" src="http://www.dietresearch.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/Slimshot.jpg" alt="Slimshot" width="210" height="210" />Slim Shot—not to be confused with the similarly named Slim Shots liquid appetite controller—is a weight-loss supplement in the form of a powder drink mix. It comes in three formulas for the morning, noon, and evening.<br />
We like that Slim Shot’s three-part system works with the body’s natural rhythm, and we were happy to find that most of its ingredients are widely considered safe and effective. However, Slim Shot is overpriced and has an extremely poor history of customer service.<br />
Our experts say Slim Shot is more effective than a lot of other slimming products, but it leaves much to be desired. The Slim Shot diet only meets two of our five criteria.</p>
<p><strong><a href="#anchor">Click here</a></strong> to read our in-depth five-point review of Slim Shot.<br />
Or<br />
<strong><a title="Top Ranked Products" href="http://www.dietresearch.com/top-ranked-products/">Click here</a></strong> to browse our top-ranked products.</p>
<p class="highlight"><a id="anchor" name="anchor"></a>Don’t take a shot on Slim Shot</p>
<h2>Safety and Quality</h2>
<p>While most of the ingredients in Slim Shot are widely considered safe and effective, there are some exceptions.<br />
The morning formula aims to boost your energy and your immune system. Green coffee, olive wood, and green tea hike your energy and quell hunger. Ash wood cola, cynorhodon, wild pansy, and cherry stalk cleanse your body of harmful toxins.<br />
The noon formula prevents the absorption of fat. Apple and citrus pectins create a feeling of fullness, thereby suppressing hunger, and cider vinegar acts as a natural food additive.<br />
The night formula facilitates digestion and burns fat. Pineapple, cacao, orange skin, papaya, grape marc, and chromium are natural digestive aids that remove dangerous free radicals from the body.<br />
However, the noon formula also contains guar gum, which blocks the absorption of fat and lowers cholesterol, but has been linked to a number of deaths from poor fluid intake. The added water consumption you’ll get from these beverages might be enough to counter this effect, but it’s impossible to be sure.</p>
<h2>Effectiveness</h2>
<p>Slim Shot says users lose between 15-40 pounds in three months. Our experts say the ingredients do promote weight loss.</p>
<h2>Cost</h2>
<p>Slim Shot costs $159.99 for a 12-week supply, or about $53.33 a month. There are equally effective, but less expensive options. Check out the rankings of the <a href="http://www.dietresearch.com/top-ranked-products/">best diet pills</a> for more info.</p>
<h2>Customer Service</h2>
<p>When it comes to this category, Slim Shot fails miserably. The company that makes Slim Shot, Central Coast Nutraceuticals, has an F rating with the Better Business Bureau, and more registered complaints than any other product we’ve seen. It’s also been sued for fraud and deceptive trade practices. This reason alone is enough to avoid Slim Shot.</p>
<h2>Money-back guarantee</h2>
<p>At first, we were excited to see that Slim Shot offers a full refund within 60 days Then we did some digging, and found hundreds of dissatisfied customers complained to the Better Business Bureau about Central Coast Nutraceutical’s failure to honor its refund promises.</p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>While the ingredients in the Slim Shot diet promote weight loss, Slim Shot reviews show the company cannot be trusted with your money. We recommend a natural diet supplement with a more credible reputation. Check out our rankings of the <a href="http://www.dietresearch.com/top-ranked-products/">top diet pills</a>.</p>
