Metabolife Extreme Energy

September 8, 2008

Metabolife Extreme Energy
Designed to provide you with an “additional boost of energy to help maintain your lifestyle” and to “keep you fueled to continue with your weight management plan”, Metabolife Extreme Energy is a fairly soft-spoken in its advertising given that it has “extreme” in its name.  This isn’t bad though as too many products [...]

Metabolife Caffeine Free

September 8, 2008

Metabolife Caffeine Free
Metabolife Caffeine Free is the “stimulant-free” version of Metabolife.  It claims to provide effective fat burning power but without anything to accelerate you metabolism or boost your energy levels.  That sounds like making bricks without straw, but lets see what miracle this product might offer us…
Metabolife Caffeine Free Ingredients

Thiamin 1.5 mg
Riboflavin 1.7 mg
Niacin [...]

Metabolife Break Through

September 8, 2008

Metabolife Break Through
Metabolife Break Through is one of those products that comes along every once in a while and claims to be the absolutely amazing and little-known solution to weight problems.  Of course, by “once in a while”, I mean every day.  What it means by break through is that it will supposedly help you [...]

Metabolife AquaSlim

Metabolife AquaSlim
Metabolife AquaSlim – Power Juice or Weak Sauce?
Metabolife’s AquaSlim isn’t the first appetite suppressant drink mix, but it comes from a company worth knowing about (and not in a good way).  This company has been taken on numerous counts of false advertising and ignoring health risks by the FTC and FDA, respectively.  There [...]

Metabolean

Metabolean
Will Metabolean get you Leaner?
BeFit Health & Fitness of Canada has brought Metabolean , a diet pill like…many others.  I use “brought” instead of “brings” because this product has been officially discontinued but remains available for purchase in some places online.  What made this product so special, if anything?  Why was it discontinued?
Metabolean Ingredients

Meridia

Meridia
Is Meridia Safe?
There are a number of prescription weight-loss aids out there, each one of them trying to overcome the negative stigma brought by the disastrous Fen Phen.  Meridia is one such prescription pill that was developed by Abbot Laboratories to be an appetite suppressant.  Is it safe and will it work?
Meridia Ingredients

Meltdown

September 8, 2008

Meltdown by VPX
Meltdown your Fat?
Others have pointed this out, but it still gets me every time.  Meltdown , a diet pill by VPX Sports, claims on its website that it “kicks ephedrine’s ass.”  I don’t know about you, but that’s pretty silly for a diet pill to have to prove that it’s better than an [...]

Man Scorch

Man Scorch
Should you take Man Scorch seriously?
As far as product names go, Man Scorch is probably one of the funniest products I’ve reviewed.  What about ingredients?  When it comes to value, if you get stuck with a product that doesn’t work, its no laughing matter.
Man Scorch Ingredients
The most significant ingredients included in Man Scorch [...]

Lipoxinol

Lipoxinol
Is Lipoxinol “Unequaled”?
When it comes to diet pill advertising, I have certainly heard my share of BS.  Sterling Grant Laboratories probably stands above most with claims for Lipoxinol as silly as “most effective approach to losing weight ever developed!” This little pill is said by the company to be absolutely “unequaled in its ability to [...]

Lipovarin

September 4, 2008

Lipovarin
Lipovarin is a diet pill claiming  the “highest grade of patented, clinically proven ingredients” that will supposedly “energize your body and put you on the path to a new leaner, healthier you.”   That sounds fantastic.  I’ve always wanted a new leander, healthier me…but how do they back up the claims and using terms like [...]
