			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3><strong>What is Irvingiapress?</strong></h3>
<p>You may not have heard of <a href="http://buytopdietpills.com/irvingia-gabonensis/">irvingia gabonensis</a>, the key ingredient in Irvingiapress.  It goes by the names of dika nut, African mango, bush mango, and others, but whatever you call it this west African plant has been shown to significantly aid weight loss.  This key ingredient, along with the highest quality green tea extract available, is the basis of Irvingiapress.</p>
<h3><strong>Irvingiapress Ingredients</strong></h3>
<ul>
<li>1,000 mg Irvingia Gabonensis</li>
<li>250 mg Green Tea (Standardized for 50% Caffeine)</li>
<li>250 mg Green Tea (Standardized for 50% EGCG)</li>
</ul>
<p>In one of the most recent <a href="http://buytopdietpills.com/irvingia-gabonensis/">irvingia weight loss</a> studies, researchers found that “irvingia administered 150 mg twice daily before meals to overweight and/or obese human volunteers favorably impacts body weight and a variety of parameters characteristic of the metabolic syndrome.”  (<a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19254366">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19254366</a>)</p>
<p>With a dosage of over three times this effective amount, you can be sure that you’re getting enough of the key ingredient to see results.  As well, this is a potent dose of antioxidants with green tea and caffeine that will boost energy levels and burn extra calories throughout the day.</p>
<h3><strong>Is Irvingiapress Safe?</strong></h3>
<p>Absolutely.  There are no reported adverse side effects.  The amount of caffeine in this dosage is about as much as in a cup of coffee, so if you’re sensitive to caffeine this might be a bit strong, but certainly nothing to worry about.</p>
<h3><strong>How much is Irvingiapress?</strong></h3>
<p>One bottle, including shipping costs, is priced at $64.  If you want a better discount, you can buy 5 for $180 (with free shipping).  This gets you</p>
<h3><strong>Does it have a Money-back Guarantee?</strong></h3>
<p>Yes it does. The Money-back guarantee is the trademark of a company that has faith in the effectiveness of its products.</p>
<h3><strong>Is Irvingiapress Worth Trying?</strong></h3>
<p>No question about it – absolutely.  There are few products out there that cut out all of the useless crap that doesn’t really add any value and include only effective doses of quality ingredients.  Here you are paying for quality and the clinical studies back up the claims and the price.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Exercise is a pain in the butt if you ask me. Some people like to exercise but I just don’t find it all that pleasant to do. I would rather be doing something else like watching T.V.. Here is a plan that can help people like me that hate to exercise lose some weight while doing a little exercise.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft" src="http://www.scientificamerican.com/media/inline/7B7C7041-F6A7-1A92-59D38EFC18C0F95E_1.jpg" alt="http://www.scientificamerican.com/media/inline/7B7C7041-F6A7-1A92-59D38EFC18C0F95E_1.jpg" width="244" height="273" /></p>
<h3>While Watching T.V.</h3>
<p>If you are like me and like to watch your favorite list of T.V. shows every night you can sneak some exercise in by doing some of those hard to do push ups during comercials. If you have a handy pair of dumbells at the house keep these next to the couch and use them every other time. This may sound like it won’t do any good but it is better than nothing and it’s more than I usually do.</p>
<h3>At Work</h3>
<p>At work try and park farther away from the building and speed walk to your office. Pack a lunch for work instead of going out to eat. This will make it so that you don’t eat fatty fast food and allow you to do a quick exercise at work. I like to walk up and down the stairs a couple of times. I run when no one is watching.</p>
<h3>Wake Up Early</h3>
<p>Try and wake up 15 minutes early each day and do a quick work out. Again push ups, pulls ups, crunches or anything that you can think of to build a little extra muscle and burn some extra calories.</p>
<h3>While Sitting</h3>
<p>While sitting at work or a movie or just while you are watching T.V. try and do some tummy pulls. That is where you pull your belly button in towards your spine. You can also try flexing your muscles while you sit. I like to focus on my trouble spots, like my butt, and my chest.</p>
<h3>Using A Supplement</h3>
<p>To help enhance weight loss I like to use weight loss pills. I only use them for about a month and then I go off of them for a couple months. <a title="weight loss supplements" href="http://getdietsolutions.com" target="_self">Weight loss supplements</a> seem to help give me just a little bit more of an edge to help me lose weight. I usually will lose about 5lbs during the month I use them. I try and switch what kind I use and I don’t use them continuously so that my body doesn’t get use to them.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Trying To Reduce Abdominal Fat</h3>
<p>Abdominal fat can be very difficult to get rid of. There is no scientific way to chose which part of your body to burn fat from. Doing sit ups may help burn calories and increase your abdominal muscles but it won’t necessarily burn fat from your abdomen. Your body may decide to burn fat from your face or your legs first. This is why it may be discouraging when you do sit ups every day and you don’t notice your stomach looking any thinner.</p>
<p>Another thing that discourages several people when they start to diet and exercise is that their weight doesn’t seem to decrease after working out and eating light. The reason for this is that you are increasing muscle and retaining a little extra water for this process. So in reality you are burning off more fat but muscle weighs more than fat so you need to be patient at first and continue working out. Once your muscles have adapted to your workout routine the pounds should start coming off if you are really burning more calories than you are taking in.</p>
<h3>Going At It The Hard Way</h3>
<p><img class="alignleft" title="Flat Abs" src="http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRBasoz5xr-u4uOGkYq1hiJxutri6nKxqnQVi_TbPg3rFWfOTw&amp;t=1&amp;usg=__qXaZbZrU8LAb7_74rfMciGIy9QE=" alt="http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRBasoz5xr-u4uOGkYq1hiJxutri6nKxqnQVi_TbPg3rFWfOTw&amp;t=1&amp;usg=__qXaZbZrU8LAb7_74rfMciGIy9QE=" />There really is no option in making sure that you burn fat just from your trouble places. You are going to have to go at it the hard way, and if you are anything like me you may have to start over a few times a month because you keep giving up. The most important thing is to not lose hope. You can do it, it just takes time. The best way to burn abdominal fat is to burn more calories than you take in. That means eating less and exercising more. One without the other usually doesn’t work. If you need some extra help burning calories then you could try some <a title="diet pills" onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/buytopdietpills.com');" href="http://buytopdietpills.com/" target="_self">diet pills</a>. Certain diet pills are designed to help you burn a few more calories a day and can also help you decrease your appetite. I know there is a lot of taboo about taking diet pills, but if you get the right kind, it can help you out. That doesn’t mean you don’t have to eat right or workout though. Dietary supplements work best when following a plan of working out and eating right.</p>
<h3>Why You Need To Reduce Abdominal Fat</h3>
<p>Reducing abdominal fat is not just a cosmetic thing these days. Research shows that the more fat we store around our middle, the greater the risk of serious disease. Abdominal obesity is now considered to be an independent risk factor for several diseases such as, high blood pressure, raised cholesterol, cardiovascular disease, and type 2 diabetes. Some experts now think that measurement of your waist is more important than body mass index in predicting future weight-related disease.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>One Week Diet</h3>
<p>Is it possible to burn a lot of fat in just a week? it is, and I have done it. You can burn up to 5 lbs of fat in a week if you take the right steps. If you are anything like me this might be difficult. I always procrastinate the day of my quick fat loss plan, once I get started I’m usually good at keeping to it for about a week. So here is a one week crash fat loss plan for people that have A.D.D. like me when it comes to keeping to a weight loss plan. If you are like me and always procrastinate try and set a date. Don’t put it too far ahead because then it is easier to keep putting off. A good plan is to set it at most two to three weeks ahead. Try and start when you are going to have a little extra time on your hands.</p>
<p>Alright, now that we have the date set lets see how we are going to lose that quick weight. If you really want to lose weight fast you are going to have to attack your fat at a few different angles. First you are going to have to diet and when I say diet I mean diet. Burning 5lbs of fat in one week means you will actually lose 10 lbs of weight because 5lbs of it is going to be water weight. The second thing that you are going to need to do is exercise. This is going to be mostly cardio to start off with because I don’t want you to be building much muscle which will make it seem like you aren’t losing weight and get you discouraged. When people start exercising again after a long break of doing nothing their muscles start to build up which increases weight and gives people a false idea that they are not losing fat because their weight stays the same. If this happens to you don’t get discouraged. Your weight will start to drop eventually. The last thing I want you to do is take a diet pill. Yes a diet pill, to help burn some extra calories and make it so that you are not so hungry.</p>
<h3>Eating Healthy</h3>
<p>First step is the diet. I want you to drink water and lots of it. This is the simplest but maybe the most effective thing you can do. Forget about soft drinks, and juice. Good old H2O is the way to go.</p>
<p>Next, switch from a diet plan focused around carbs (breads, pastas, fruits, etc.) to one focused around lean sources of protein (egg whites, skinless chicken, turkey breast, fish, whey based protein powders and MRPs, etc.)</p>
<p>Last, eat small frequent meals to keep your metabolism burning on high. You cannot go 5 or 6 hours without eating, get extremely hungry, and pig-out with one huge meal. This is without a doubt the worst way to eat possible, and you’ll never drop fat whith this method. Instead, eat small portions of food every 3 hours throughout the day. Remember no carbs, you can do it for a week.</p>
<h3>Extreme Exercise</h3>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-440 alignleft" title="exercise" src="http://dietsthatwork.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/exercise.bmp" alt="" width="342" height="279" />The next step is the exercise. This is one of the most difficult parts for me. I have a difficult time getting up off of my butt not just because it&#8217;s big, but because I’m lazy. You are going to have to do 1hr of cardio a day. I know that seems like a lot but you can do it. I don’t want you going on walks or spending half of the time warming up or getting to the gym. You need one full hour of cardio. If you are at the gym use the treadmill, do a 5 minute warm up then speed things up. Go as fast as you can. You should work out to the point that sweat is dripping off of you. The more sweat the better. If you need to switch go to the bicycle. Each day I want you to do a max sprint for as long as you can. If you can get up to 10 minutes doing your peak sprint level that would be great. By the end of the week I want you to do two peak sprint cycles.</p>
<h3>Choosing A Supplment</h3>
<p>Last thing I want you to do is take some diet pills. Don’t just pick any run of the mill diet pill, I want you to get the <a title="best diet pills" href="http://dietpill.net" target="_self">best diet pills</a>. This means they will probably cost you around $60 to $70 dollars a bottle. You should look for one with a number of patented ingredients. Look for a diet pill that will decrease appetite, and increase energy. It will be good to take one of these before you work out to give you a little extra energy. After the 5 days is up I want you to also take a diuretic. This will pull all the extra water off of you that you built up. A 72 hour diuretic pill will work best. I wouldn’t mix both the diet pill and diuretic together though. Take the diuretic at the end of your 7 day crash diet for three days. This will be when you will notice how much weight you have lost. After you have stopped taking the diuretic you can start back up on the diet pill. I have lost as much as 14 lbs doing this. Some people say a one week crash diet is not healthy, but I say it’s better than nothing, and at least my body looks a little better when I go to the beach.</p>

Gaspari Nutrition is a combination of Cytolean V2 and Mitotropin. What we like about Gaspari Nutrition &#8220;The Fat Loss Cycle&#8221;: Contains a few quality ingredients such as caffeine, green tea, evodiamine, and synephrine. Will definitely give you an energy boost.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Gaspari Nutrition &#8220;The Fat Loss Cycle&#8221; Review</h3>
<p><img src="http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:hT7xgiwu7Gy1_M:l" alt="" width="67" height="67" />Gaspari Nutrition is a combination of Cytolean V2 and Mitotropin. What we like about Gaspari Nutrition &#8220;The Fat Loss Cycle&#8221;: Contains a few quality ingredients such as caffeine, green tea, evodiamine, and synephrine. Will definitely give you an energy boost.</p>
<p>What we don&#8217;t like about Gaspari Nutrition &#8220;The Fat Loss Cycle&#8221;: 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.</p>
<p>So unless you really like stimulants and think your body can handle it, it would be best to stay clear from Gaspari Nutrition &#8220;The Fat Loss Cycle&#8221;.</p>
<h3>Cytolean V2 and Mitotropin</h3>
<p>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&#8217;t be sure of the motives of Gaspari Nutrition, but it makes us wonder.</p>
<h3>Ingredients in Cytolean V2:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Green Tea</li>
<li>Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae</li>
<li>B Phenylethylamine HCl</li>
<li>Paulinia Cupana Extract</li>
<li>Caffeine</li>
<li>Lactium</li>
<li>7b OH</li>
<li>Chinese Boxthorn Extract</li>
<li>Bioperine</li>
<li>Huperzine A</li>
</ul>
<p>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.</p>
<h3>Ingredients in Mitotropin:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Turmeric (Curcuma Longa Root)</li>
<li>Artichoke Extract (Standardized For 15% 3-0-Caffeoylquinic Acid)</li>
<li>D-Alpha-Tocopherol</li>
<li>L-SE- Methylselenocysteine</li>
<li>L-Tyrosine</li>
<li>Beta-Phenylethylamine</li>
<li>Green Tea Extract (Standardized For 50% Polyphenols &amp; 30% Catechins)</li>
<li>Caffeine Anhydrous USP</li>
<li>Green Coffee Bean Extract</li>
<li>Hordenine</li>
<li>Evodia Rutaecarpa Extract (Standardized For 10% Evodiamine)</li>
<li>Synephrine</li>
<li>DL-Phenylalanine</li>
<li>Ginko Biloba Extract</li>
<li>Uncaria Rhynchophylla</li>
<li>Sinofranchetia Chinesis</li>
<li>Huperzine-A</li>
<li>N-Acetyl L-Carnitine</li>
<li>Flax Seed Powder</li>
<li>Undaria Pinnatifida Extract (Standardized For 10% Fucoxanthin)</li>
<li>Grape Seed Extract (Standardized For 50% Kaempherol)</li>
<li>Capsicum Annum Extract (Standardized For 40% Capsiate)</li>
<li>3,3&#8242; Diiodo-L-Thyronine</li>
<li>3,5-Diiodo-L-Thyronine</li>
</ul>
<p>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&#8217;t do much for you.</p>
<h3>Gaspari Nutrition &#8220;The Fat Loss Cycle&#8221; Side Effects</h3>
<p>Common side effects associated with Gaspari Nutrition &#8220;The Fat Loss Cycle&#8221; include:</p>
<ul>
<li>headaches</li>
<li>nausea</li>
<li>anxiety</li>
<li>insomnia</li>
<li>increased heart rate</li>
<li>the jitters</li>
<li>abdominal pain</li>
</ul>
<p>You definitely will feel Gaspari Nutrition &#8220;The Fat Loss Cycle&#8221;. A word to the wise, do not take close to bed time.</p>
<h3>How much is Gaspari Nutrition &#8220;The Fat Loss Cycle&#8221;?</h3>
<p>Gaspari Nutrition &#8220;The Fat Loss Cycle&#8221; can be purchased online for $70. There is no money back guarantee.</p>
<h3>Is Gaspari Nutrition &#8220;The Fat Loss Cycle&#8221; worth purchasing?</h3>
<p>Potential side effects+expensive+no money back guarantee+few quality ingredients=Not worth purchasing.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Cellucor WS1 Extreme Review</h3>
<p><img src="http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTFHkAKo03KvYbcsin1_FQeXNV3s8GaLKsZTkW51nme24q8clQ&amp;t=1&amp;usg=__5aGcFMlSoIvE9Ali3DegS7-0JN0=" alt="" width="86" height="61" />Take a look in the mirror. If you are like the average person, there probably is too much fat. Cellucor WS1 Extreme is a new diet pill that aims to minimize the fat storage in your body. Does it work? Let&#8217;s take a closer look.</p>
<h3>Ingredients in Cellucor WS1 Extreme</h3>
<p>Cellucor WS1 is comprised of a proprietary blend of 1833 milligrams. Proprietary blends are frustrating. Why? Because there is no way of knowing the quantity of each ingredient in a product. This makes judging the effectiveness of a pill impossible. For example there could be .01 or 1832.5 milligrams of Vitamin A in Cellucor WS1 Extreme. Some weight loss companies use proprietary blends to shield their secret formulas from competitors. Other less reputable weight loss companies use proprietary blends as a way of hiding their weak ingredient profiles from consumers. Why does Cellucor WS1 Extreme use a proprietary blend? We can&#8217;t be for sure but it does make us wonder.</p>
<p>Ingredients in Cellucor WS1 Extreme:</p>
<ul>
<li>Vitamin A</li>
<li>Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA)</li>
<li>Docosahexaenoic Aci (DHA)</li>
<li>Acetyl-L-Carnitine</li>
<li>Bitter Gourd Extract</li>
<li>Tetradecylthioacetic Acid</li>
<li>Vitamin K1 (Phylloquinine)</li>
</ul>
<p>The two main ingredients in Cellucor WS1 Extreme are EPA and DHA. EPA and DHA are found in Fish Oils. Several clinical studies point to their abilities to help reduce the storage of fat as well as other health promoting benefits. Of course, that being said you don&#8217;t have to buy a diet pill to get more EPA and DHA in your diet, just eat more fish. Another quality ingredient in Cellucor WS1 Extreme is acetyl-l-carnitine. Acetyl-l-carnitine can help speed up the body&#8217;s natural fat oxidation process. The other ingredients in Cellucor WS1 Extreme provide several health benefits but don&#8217;t expect to lose much weight. Missing from Cellucor WS1 are proven fat burners and appetite suppressants.</p>
<h3>Is Cellucor WS1 Extreme safe?</h3>
<p>A big problem with the average diet pill is side effects. Side effects are usually caused by companies placing too many stimulants in their products. Stimulants can help boost the metabolism when taken at the right amount but too many stimulants leads to the jitters and other ailments. Cellucor WS1 Extreme  is stimulant-free, which is a good or bad thing depending on how your body&#8217;s sensitivity to caffeine and other stimulants.</p>
<p>Cellucor WS1 should only be taken in cycles. After 8 weeks of using Ws1, you should take a 2 week break.</p>
<h3>How much is Cellucor WS1 Extreme?</h3>
<p>Cellucor WS1 Extreme will set  you back $60 plus for a month&#8217;s supply. For a stimulant-free weight loss product based in Omega-3&#8217;s, Cellucor WS1 Extreme is very expensive.  Especially considering that Cellucor WS1 Extreme is more of a supplementary product to other diet pills. On the positive side, Cellucor WS1 Extreme does come with a money back guarantee.</p>
<h3>Is Cellucor WS1 Extreme?</h3>
<p>Far from extreme, Cellucor WS1 Extreme won&#8217;t lead to much fat loss. It can prevent some fat storage but so could eating more fish in your diet (which would be much cheaper). The ultimate decision on whether to buy Cellucor WS1 Extreme is yours but if it was ours, we would definitely pass.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>What is QNT Riptek?</h3>
<p><img src="http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT7KzJ5WcrI_nGx3NShUI5IQvpIEumhbCY3BQGnVOXCGzwvU9E&amp;t=1&amp;usg=__6GMr7WJuDFDJ8NTa_SEOP6sGDXk=" alt="" width="70" height="70" />According to the manufacturers, QNT Riptek can help you lose 12 times more calories. Wow, sounds convincing but we are not completely sold. The manufacturers of QNT Riptek point to a clinical study but few details are given about the study and considering it was not published in any credible scientific journal, the results might be far from credible. There are a few decent ingredients in QNT Riptek such as capsimax but there is nothing that separates it from the average diet pill. Let&#8217;s take a closer look at QNT Riptek.</p>
<h3>What&#8217;s in QNT Riptek?</h3>
<p>QNT Riptek contains 10 milligrams of Niacin and 2 proprietary blends. The 2 proprietary blends only comprise 460 milligrams. Ingredients comprising proprietary blends:</p>
<ul>
<li>Reservatol-not going to do much for you</li>
<li>Purple Corn-not going to do much for you</li>
<li>Acai Berries Extract-can boost the immune system. Rumored to help with weight loss but there is no scientific evidence backing this. Contained in a proprietary blend of only 50 milligrams so there is not nearly a high enough dosage to make a difference.</li>
<li>Beberine HCL-we are not sold on Beberine. Purported fat burner but clinical studies are lacking</li>
<li>Glucomannan-works by suppressing the appetite. Clinical studies on glucomannan show minimal but positive results</li>
<li>Capsimax-Capsimax is a combination of caffeine, capsicum, and piperine. It is by far the best ingredient in QNT Riptek although there is no way of knowing if there is enough Capsimax in Riptek to make a substantial impact.</li>
<li>GABA-can purportedly increase HGH production in the body</li>
</ul>
<h3>Is QNT Riptek safe?</h3>
<p>QNT Riptek contains all-natural ingredients among these are caffeine and capsicum. Some bodies can handle caffeine, others can&#8217;t. Common side effects associated with the overconsumption of caffeine include:</p>
<ul>
<li>increased heart rate</li>
<li>insomnia</li>
<li>anxiety</li>
<li>the jitters</li>
<li>nausea</li>
<li>headaches</li>
<li>abdominal pain</li>
<li>dizziness</li>
</ul>
<p>Capsicum is an extract of red peppers. Anyone that has eaten a red pepper knows that they don&#8217;t go down easy. Side effects associated with red peppers include upset stomach, uneasiness, and diarrhea.</p>
<h3>How much is QNT Riptek?</h3>
<p>For a product that contains less than 500 milligrams of ingredients, QNT Riptek is expensive. One bottle will set you back over 60 bucks. This is about double what we would pay.</p>
<h3>Is there a money back guarantee?</h3>
<p>QNT Riptek does not have a money back guarantee. When it is difficult to discern whether a product is effective or not (example: QNT Riptek contains a few quality ingredients but doesn&#8217;t disclose their quantities), we look to see if there is a money back guarantee. Why is a money back guarantee important? It shows that a company believes in its product. If a weight loss company had a mediocre product, they would never include a satisfaction guarantee because they would lose their shorts. There are exceptions to the rule but the fact that QNT Riptek doesn&#8217;t have a money back guarantee does little to instill confidence in their product.</p>
<h3>QNT Riptek Conclusion</h3>
<p>QNT Riptek is an average diet pill priced like a premium diet pill with no satisfaction guarantee. Ineffective plus expensive is not a good combination.</p>

According to the manufacturers, 180 Targeted Thermogenic is focused on solving 4 basic weight loss problems:

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>180 Body Clinic 180 Targeted Thermogenic Review</h3>
<p><img src="http://gnc.imageg.net/graphics/product_images/pGNC1-7922828t300x300.jpg" alt="180 Body Clinic™ 180 Targeted Thermogenic™ - BODY CLINIC - GNC" width="76" height="76" />According to the manufacturers, 180 Targeted Thermogenic is focused on solving 4 basic weight loss problems:</p>
<ol>
<li>Curbing the appetite especially after dinner</li>
<li>Focusing on problem areas</li>
<li>Speeding up the metabolism</li>
<li>Releasing built-up toxins from the body</li>
</ol>
<p>In reality the 180 Body Clinic 180 Targeted Thermogenic should provide energy and may help with the metabolism but expecting substantial results is probably unrealistic. Let&#8217;s take a closer look at 180 Targeted Thermogenic.</p>
<h3>What&#8217;s in 180 Body Clinic 180 Targeted Thermogenic?</h3>
<ul>
<li>caffeine-when taken at the right dosage, caffeine is great. It can help burn calories and provide energy.</li>
<li>caralluma fimbriata-average appetite suppressant from India</li>
<li>emblica officinalis-antioxidant that can provide health benefits but won&#8217;t help with weight loss</li>
<li>olive leaf-evidence on olive leaf&#8217;s ability to help with weight loss is mixed</li>
<li>coffee arabica l-can provide energy and increases concentration levels</li>
<li>rauwolscine-related to yohimbe. An above average fat burner but there are potential side effects</li>
</ul>
<p>All of these ingredients comprise a proprietary blend of 610 milligrams. For a diet product to be effective it needs to contain the right ingredients at the right dosages. 180 Body Clinic 180 Targeted Thermogenic has decent ingredients but whether or not it contains the right dosages of those ingredients is a guessing game.</p>
<h3>Is 180 Body Clinic 180 Targeted Thermogenic safe?</h3>
<p>Who knows? Proprietary blends make it impossible to discern how much of each ingredient is contained. Two ingredients, caffeine and rauwolscine, are both associated with side effects. Some people can handle stimulants better than others. Side effects include:</p>
<ul>
<li>headaches</li>
<li>anxiety</li>
<li>the jitters</li>
<li>insomnia</li>
<li>nausea</li>
<li>abdominal pain</li>
<li>increased heart rate</li>
<li>irritability</li>
</ul>
<h3>Price of 180 Body Clinic 180 Targeted Thermogenic Review</h3>
<p>180 Body Clinic 180 Targeted Thermogenic can be purchased from GNC for $69.99 It is rare that we see a diet pill that is worth more than $50 and 180 Body Clinic 180 Targeted Thermogenic is certainly not one of them. It doesn&#8217;t bring anything new to the table and hides the quantities of its ingredients in a proprietary blend.</p>
<h3>Is there a money back guarantee?</h3>
<p>We were unable to find any money back guarantees. On the 180 Body Clinic website it states that it is &#8220;guaranteed to satisfy&#8221;, but that is all that is mentioned. Just because 180 Body Clinic 180 Targeted Thermogenic does not have a money back guarantee doesn&#8217;t mean that it doesn&#8217;t work, but it doesn&#8217;t give us a boost of confidence in their product. We like money back guarantees. They helps separate quality products from the pretenders.</p>
<p>Pretenders/weak products rarely have a money back guarantee. Why? Because if 40 percent of their products get returned, they will be losing money really fast. Money back guarantees shows that a company has confidence in their product and we like to be able to return products that don&#8217;t work.</p>
<h3>180 Body Clinic 180 Targeted Thermogenic Conclusion</h3>
<p>180 Body Clinic 180 Targeted Thermogenic is good but not great. For a product that costs over $70, we expect more. 180 Targeted Thermogenic may be able to help you lose 3-4 pounds but don&#8217;t expect much more.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Almased Synergy Diet Review</h3>
<p><img src="http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:7hkuBWV4umMeBM:l" alt="" width="24" height="47" />Consumers sick of weight loss pills high in stimulants and side effects are looking for healthier ways to help them lose weight. The Almased Synergy Diet is an example of this. A mixture of soy protein, honey, and skim milk, the Almased Synergy Diet is very safe but is it effective? According to the manufacturers it is. They claim it is backed by clinical studies. Our take: Although the clinical studies are positive, they aren&#8217;t substantial. The Almased Synergy Diet might be able to help you lose 3-4 pounds but anything beyond that is wishful thinking.</p>
<h3>Almased Synergy Diet Ingredients</h3>
<ul>
<li>Soy Protein Isolate</li>
<li>Honey</li>
<li>Skim Milk Yogurt Powder</li>
<li>Vitamin C</li>
<li>Niacin</li>
<li>Vitamin E</li>
<li>Zink Oxide</li>
<li>Vitamin B2</li>
<li>Vitamin B6</li>
<li>Vitamin B1</li>
<li>Vitamin A</li>
<li>Copper Gluconate</li>
<li>Folic Acid</li>
<li>Manganese Sulfate</li>
<li>Sodium Selenite</li>
<li>Potassium Iodide</li>
<li>Biotin</li>
<li>Vitamin D3</li>
<li>Vitamin B12</li>
</ul>
<p>The core of the Almased Synergy Diet lies in the soy protein, skim milk, and honey. The vitamins and minerals are great for overall health but aren&#8217;t going to lose you much weight.</p>
<h3>Almased Synergy Diet Side Effects</h3>
<p>There are no side effects associated with the Almased Synergy Diet.</p>
<h3>How much is the Almased Synergy Diet?</h3>
<p>The Almased Synergy Diet can be purchased off of its website for $35 plus shipping and handling. This price seems reasonable until you notice that the one can of the Almased Synergy Diet only contains 10 servings. This means that if you were take the Almased Synergy Diet ever day for a month, the monthly cost would be about $120. The Almased Synergy Diet might be able to help your weight loss efforts to a certain extent, but $120 is way too much for what you get. Worse yet, there is no money back guarantee (read below).</p>
<h3>Is there a money back guarantee?</h3>
<p>There is no money back guarantee with the Almased Synergy Diet. An easy way to discern between quality products and rip-off products is looking for a money back guarantee (although there are outliers).  Money back guarantees show that a company has confidence in its own product. It also is an added bonus to be able to get your money back if the product doesn&#8217;t work.</p>
<p>Considering all the purported success of the clinical studies regarding the Almased Synergy Diet, we were surprised to see no money back guarantee. A product without a money back guarantee shows that company has a lack of confidence in its product. Why? If a company feels that 20 percent or more of consumers will return their product they will be losing money in a heartbeat.</p>
<p>Almased does return &#8220;unopened products.&#8221; Whoopee! Even worse, they charge a 15 percent restocking fee and don&#8217;t reimburse shipping and handling and you have to go through the hassle of getting an Return Goods Authorization Number.</p>
<h3>Is the Almased Synergy Diet worth purchasing?</h3>
<p>We aren&#8217;t completely sold on the ability of the Almased Synergy Diet to help you lose weight but considering how expensive it is and how simple the formula is, you might as well save some cash and buy some soy fiber, skim milk, and honey at your local grocery market.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>What is the New Nordic Mulberry?</h3>
<p><img src="http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSZyr-wCRf0L87Q_huAnBRRF0pG6gZzgQPrvjFuA299Fupd_gc&amp;t=1&amp;usg=__nHW80MXR0p83qP9arQ05xFVnU7s=" alt="" width="70" height="62" />Are you a sweet tooth? Do you spend over $100 on candy a month? Do you have problems turning down that extra piece of cake? If you answered yes to these questions, the New Nordic Mulberry might be for you. Among the many claims of the New Nordic Mulberry include:</p>
<ul>
<li>help you maintain healthy blood sugar levels</li>
<li>mood and possible concentration improvement</li>
<li>you will be less tempted to eat sugars and other food</li>
<li>lose weight and retained water in the body</li>
</ul>
<p>All of these claims sound great but it is important to remember that with almost all diet pills there is a huge discrepancy between product claims and actual results. Does the New Nordic Mulberry back up its claims? It may be able to help curb your sugar intake but don&#8217;t expect substantial weight loss. Let&#8217;s take a closer look at the New Nordic Mulberry.</p>
<h3>Ingredients in the New Nordic Mulberry</h3>
<p>According to rumors circling the internet a Norwegian store owner gave people in a small town Mulberries to help them lose weight. After a few weeks there was drastic weight loss. There might be some truth to this rumor or it might be pure fabrication. Either way it wouldn&#8217;t surprise us.</p>
<p>This is the first product that we&#8217;ve seen that contains Mulberries. There are a few clinical studies that support Mulberries being able to help blood-sugar levels but it doesn&#8217;t appear that the Mulberries can make a significant impact.</p>
<p>The New Nordic Mulberry is a one-trick pony. Besides the inclusion of Nordic Mulberries, there is nothing else of note in the product. With products that only feature one ingredient, two things usually come to mind. First, you could probably find an extract of the ingredient at a grocery store for much cheaper. Secondly, don&#8217;t count on it being effective.</p>
<h3>New Nordic Mulberry Price</h3>
<p>60 tablets can be purchased for $29.99 plus shipping and handling. According to the directions you take 2 tablets before each meal. If you eat 3 meals a day, one bottle will only last you 10 days. That means a month&#8217;s supply of the New Nordic Mulberry will set you back at least $100.  $100 is a ton of money to be paying for a product with questionable effectiveness.</p>
<h3>Is there a money back guarantee?</h3>
<p>We were unable to find a  money back guarantee. Just because a weight loss product does not have a money back guarantee doesn&#8217;t mean that a product doesn&#8217;t work, but it doesn&#8217;t give us a boost of confidence in their product. We like money back guarantees. They helps separate quality products from the pretenders.</p>
<p>Pretenders/weak products rarely have a money back guarantee. Why? Because if 40 percent of their products get returned, they will be losing money really fast. Money back guarantees shows that a company has confidence in their product and we like returning products that don&#8217;t work.</p>
<h3>New Nordic Mulberry Conclusion</h3>
<p>Nordic Mulberries are better as a supplemental ingredient and not a main ingredient. They can help with weight loss but not significantly. Because of this and the high price, we don&#8217;t recommend the New Nordic Mulberry.</p>
