Gaspari Nutrition “The Fat Loss Cycle”
Gaspari Nutrition “The Fat Loss Cycle” Review
Gaspari Nutrition is a combination of Cytolean V2 and Mitotropin. What we like about Gaspari Nutrition “The Fat Loss Cycle”: Contains a few quality ingredients such as caffeine, green tea, evodiamine, and synephrine. Will definitely give you an energy boost.
What we don’t like about Gaspari Nutrition “The Fat Loss Cycle”: Contains way too many stimulants. Proprietary blends, no disclosure on the different quantities of ingredients. Expensive and without a money back guarantee. Potential side effects.
So unless you really like stimulants and think your body can handle it, it would be best to stay clear from Gaspari Nutrition “The Fat Loss Cycle”.
Cytolean V2 and Mitotropin
There is not much difference between the 2. Both contain stimulants and hide the quantities of their ingredients in proprietary blends. Proprietary blends are frustrating because there is no way of knowing how much of each of ingredient the pills contain. For example there could be 1773 or .01 milligrams of green tea in Mitotropin. There is no way of knowing. Some companies use proprietary blends as a way of shielding their secret formulas from competitors. Others, however, use blends as a way of hiding their weak formulas from consumers. We can’t be sure of the motives of Gaspari Nutrition, but it makes us wonder.
Ingredients in Cytolean V2:
- Green Tea
- Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae
- B Phenylethylamine HCl
- Paulinia Cupana Extract
- Caffeine
- Lactium
- 7b OH
- Chinese Boxthorn Extract
- Bioperine
- Huperzine A
These ingredients comprise roughly 1000 milligrams. The winners in this formula are green tea, caffeine, and bioperine. The losers are the rest of these ingredients. The combination of green tea and caffeine is a decent one but additional effective ingredients are needed.
Ingredients in Mitotropin:
- Turmeric (Curcuma Longa Root)
- Artichoke Extract (Standardized For 15% 3-0-Caffeoylquinic Acid)
- D-Alpha-Tocopherol
- L-SE- Methylselenocysteine
- L-Tyrosine
- Beta-Phenylethylamine
- Green Tea Extract (Standardized For 50% Polyphenols & 30% Catechins)
- Caffeine Anhydrous USP
- Green Coffee Bean Extract
- Hordenine
- Evodia Rutaecarpa Extract (Standardized For 10% Evodiamine)
- Synephrine
- DL-Phenylalanine
- Ginko Biloba Extract
- Uncaria Rhynchophylla
- Sinofranchetia Chinesis
- Huperzine-A
- N-Acetyl L-Carnitine
- Flax Seed Powder
- Undaria Pinnatifida Extract (Standardized For 10% Fucoxanthin)
- Grape Seed Extract (Standardized For 50% Kaempherol)
- Capsicum Annum Extract (Standardized For 40% Capsiate)
- 3,3′ Diiodo-L-Thyronine
- 3,5-Diiodo-L-Thyronine
These ingredients comprise a whopping 3000 milligrams. Like Cytolean V2, there is some good, some bad and many of the same ingredients. Synephrine and evodiamine are worth ingredients of any diet pill and are great fat burners. The majority of the other ingredients are ho-hum and won’t do much for you.

ChaLEAN Extreme
ChaLEAN Extreme
For those who have tried their hardest lifting weights, doing crunches, jogging and doing yoga and whatever else they can get their hands on and still find their weight loss goals frustrated, ChaLEAN Extreme claims to be the answer. Certainly there are different fitness and exercise philosophies out there, but how are you to know which one is right for your body type…or is there one “best” program? Sometimes Extreme is the only way to go, but here’s a closer look.
What is ChaLEAN Extreme?
Named for fitness celebrity Chalene Johnson, a fit 41-year-old with the body to back up her programs, ChaLEAN Extreme is a DVD workout with a lot of big claims. These include:
- Burn 60% of your body fat in 3 months
- Significantly increase lean-muscle mass
- See results in just 30 days
How does Chalene claim to make this happen? Well, the DVD workout system is supposedly based on what she refers to as “Lean Phasing” which begins with 30 days of moderately intensive lifting workouts followed by 30 days of “heavier lifting” and finishing up with 30 days of more cardio-based fat-burning workouts. The program includes 15 workouts on 6 DVDs along with the following workout tools:
- Body fat measurement tool
- Healthy eating DVD
- Workout guidebook
- Thigh toner band
- 5 pound resistance band
Though the workout program is dependent on weight lifting, it doesn’t include weights so you will need access to your own.
How much does ChaLEAN Extreme cost?
This DVD workout program is one of the most expensive ones we’ve seen at $120 plus $20 shipping costs. It does offer a 90-day money-back guarantee and you get to keep the “bonus” workout tools.
ChaLEAN Extreme Conclusion
Chalene Johnson does look good, but this package looks a little bit convoluted. According to Dr. Martica Heaner, a NYC-based exercise physiologist, the claim that “muscle burns fat” isn’t really true. It is certainly true that as you are building muscle, you may be burning fat in the process, but increased levels of muscle in and of themselves do not cause increased fat burn. It may depend on interpretation but this is more of a marketing trick, really. Given the cost of the program and the fact that you have to find your own free-weights to use, you might as well buy a few months membership at a gym and you’ll likely have more of what you need to get fitter.
