Diet Pills
Our Diet Pill Reviews will help you find the diet pills that work and avoid the ones that don't.
Diet-Pills.cc is developed by people who have been in the weight loss industry for many years and have seen it all and tried most of it, as far as diet pills. We know better than anyone else which pills are the duds and which ones actually help you to lose weight, get ripped or both.
Our Purpose at Diet-Pills.cc is to provide unbiased diet pill reviews and information. Check out our Diet Pill Reviews, or click on the links above for other diet pills online information.
How Diet Pills are Reviewed
When reviewing diet pills we look at a few different criteria that we have found to be critical in determining whether a diet pill is good, bad or just plain ugly. Our criteria for reviewing diet pills is as follows:
Is there scientific evidence that the ingredients used in the diet pill are effective for weight loss? To answer this question we look deep into the history of the diet pill ingredients, seeking sound scientific and statistical clinical trials and clinically-based research that support or disprove their abilities to whip the fat away. As a note, many diet pill companies publish bogus clinical studies about their drugs and we love nothing more than to expose these false claims so that no one falls victim to their lies.
Are the diet pill ingredients present in amounts that will have weight loss effects? Most of the time we find that although a diet pill contains an ingredient that promotes weight loss, there is not enough of it to have an effect. Some diet pill ingredients have to be consumed in such large quantities to promote weight loss that the pill would be enormous, and so would the cost. We expose the diet pills that may have great ingredients, but not enough of them to help you lose the pounds.
What is the history and current customer relations reputation of the company selling the diet pills? We try to never promote a diet pill that has been sold by a company with a bad reputation, be it for spamming, lawsuits, false advertising, poor customer care and so on. We look into the practices of every company, helping you avoid the bad ones and sending you to ones that deserve your patronage.

Fenterdren Review
The marketers for Fenterden have called the product “the most potent and controversial weight loss compound still legal” according to the official website. For people looking for safe results, this can leave a bad taste in their mouths right off the bat. After all, if you’re going to pay money for a product, you’re not looking for potency and controversy; you’re looking for efficacy and safety. However, if you would like to know if Fenterden diet pills are right for you, this review is designed to help you to make this decision with the help of your doctor or another medical professional.
There are three active ingredients in Fenterden, which are Dicaffeine Malate, Synephrine, and Phenylethylamine.
Dicaffeine Malate is essentially a fancy word for a strong dose of caffeine. It is a substance that contains a significant amount of the caffeine stimulant, which means that it gives the same benefits as caffeine – such as a higher energy level so that you won’t be tired when you should be exercising, even if you are eating fewer calories – but it also means you will have the same side effects. Large doses of stimulants can cause many people to become jittery, nauseous, headachy, sleepless, or experience a host of other problems.
Synephrine, though it has never proven to be the slightest bit useful for weight loss in reputable human studies, has shown some potential for fat loss in rats.
Phenylethylamine (PEA) works in the brain as one of its neurotransmitters. It is a chemical found in chocolate and is responsible for the calm, happy feeling that many people experience after eating the treat. However, it is doubtful that there could be enough of this substance within Fenterdren to have any effect on weight loss as it would take tremendous amounts of it to have any impact and it simply could not contain that much. A great deal more study is required for PEA as a weight loss ingredient before it can be comfortably recommended by experts.
Since Fenterdren diet pills contain 375mg of dicaffeine malate in each serving, there is no doubt that users will experience a boost in energy and mental alertness that is common with fat burners. As well, caffeine does help to suppress appetite, so users will likely be less hungry, and increases metabolism, so your body burns more fat during the day. The only drawback is that some people are more sensitive to the effects of fat burners than others. If you take this diet pill and experience any negative reactions, such as racing heart beat, dizziness, severe jitters or insomnia you should stop taking it right away.
Though the advertising for Fenterdren fat burner on the official website claims that it retails for $147 USD per bottle, it is sold at $59 USD. This is likely just a marketing ploy to get people to order because they think they are getting a deal. Although $59 USD is not an unreasonable price to pay for a one month’s supply of diet pills, take your time to shop around because you may find these pills sold for cheaper at other online stores.

Femme Slender Slinky Review
Slinky by Femme Slender is, according to the manufacturer, the diet pill of the stars. That being said, though, the reviews and the testimonials that can be viewed on the official Femme Slender website don’t show any stars or celebrities that are at all well known. It seems that they are using this line simply to grab the reader’s attention. Fine…so they have attention. The question is do they actually work?
Slinky diet pills are marketed as being a form of weight loss supplement with both the ability to burn and to block fat in the body. This means that it helps to burn the fat that has already been stored within the body, and it helps to block further fat from being stored from the food that has been consumed. Though it claims to be a world’s first in these areas, these are exceptionally common claims and nothing of what they have said appears to be unique.
To better understand whether the drug can live up to its claims, the ingredients have indeed been provided. The ingredients are: Chitosan, Chromium, L-Carnitine, Betaine, Inositol, Methionine, and Choline Bitartate.
The advertising for Slinky diet pills states that it is the Choline, Inositol, Betaine and Methionine ingredients that are the active fat burners. Further review of these ingredients, however, suggests that they may not be very beneficial. Choline, for example, is contained in many foods and supplementing with it can only be helpful if a person is choline-deficient, which is fairly rare. This is a similar situation for inositol and methionine as well. As for betaine, there are no human studies that suggest it aids in fat metabolism, so its use in Slinky diet pills is questionable.
Chitosan is one of the main ingredients within Slinky diet pills and is a common ingredient in many diet pills for its fat blocking reputation. However, this shellfish derivative has not had any conclusive proof in human testing to show that it is helpful in any way for blocking fat or for losing weight in general for that matter.
With the information provided by the website and other marketing materials, it appears doubtful that Femme Slender Slinky diet pills will actually work. Though this cannot be a conclusive statement, it is one made upon experience with similar products, similar ingredients, and knowledge of the industry’s marketing techniques. At a cost of between $58 – $116 USD per month to use this diet pill, depending on the dosage you take, Slinky diet pills are on the expensive side, particularly when you consider that none of the ingredients have any proven effects.
It should also be noted that although Femme Slender products are marketed as diet pills for women, they actually do not contain any gender-specific ingredients that would make them any more effective for women compared to men.
Product Information
Suggested Use: Take 1-2 tablets, 3 times a day, just before meals.

Thermo-Cuts Review
Optimum Nutrition is the manufacturer of a product marketed for weight loss called Thermo-Cuts. Optimum Nutrition produces many different nutritional supplements and has designed this one to help people to better burn fat using what their advertising claims is an “unique” blend of different herbs that will supposedly cause the metabolism to improve.
Optimum Nutrition recommends that Thermo-Cuts diet pills should be used in conjunction with a healthy diet and regular activity. That being said, before taking this or any other diet pill or program, it is very important to consult with your doctor as the ingredients in this medication can easily conflict with any of several different health conditions or drugs that are being taken such as prescription medications or even over-the-counter nutritional supplements.
The ingredients in Thermo-Cuts diet pills include a number of stimulants, such as Garcinia Cambogia Extract, Caffeine Anhydrous, Green Tea Extract, and White & Purple Willow Bark Extract. Although the actual quantities of these ingredients are not disclosed, it is a safe assumption from this list that one of the primary ingredients in Thermo-Cuts diet pills is caffeine and the main purpose of this diet pill is to act as a fat burner.
Thermo-Cuts also contains two popular diet pill ingredients: NeOpuntia Extract and White Kidney Bean Extract. NeOpuntia extract, the sole ingredient contained in Proactol Diet Pills, is a fiber that has a proven ability to absorb dietary fats and help to eliminate them from the body before they are digested. White kidney bean extract, on the other hand, has been found to help prevent the digestion of some dietary carbohydrates. Thus, Thermo-Cuts diet pills contain both a carb blocker and fat blocker in the proprietary formula, but again the amounts of these ingredients are unknown so their true effectiveness in these areas cannot be determined.
Despite containing some proven weight loss ingredients, there are some drawbacks to Thermo-Cuts diet pills. To begin with, there were no testimonials or actual customer reviews to be found about these diet pills on the official website, which makes you wonder if the feedback hasn’t been that good. Furthermore, there are some ingredients within this drug that can cause some dangerous conflicts with some very common medications. For example, white willow bark extract cannot be taken in conjunction with regular medications as simple as aspirin, though other drugs such as blood thinners will also cause conflicts with this ingredient. There are also a number of stimulants in this drug, meaning that it should be avoided by people sensitive to stimulants, such as caffeine.
Product Information
Suggested Use: Take 4 capsules 30-60 minutes before morning and afternoon meals. Begin with 1-2 capsules two times per day for the first week to assess tolerance. Do not exceed 12 capsules daily. Do not take after 5:00 pm if you have difficulty sleeping.

Caution: Do not use this product if you are pregnant, nursing a baby, or under 18 years of age. Check with a qualified healthcare professional before using this product if you have any known or suspected medical condition and/or are taking any prescription or OTC medication. One (1) serving of Thermo-Cuts contains 300 mg of caffeine or about the same as three (3) cups of coffee. Do not consume more than one (1) serving every four (4) hours. Too much caffeine can cause nervousness, irritability, sleeplessness, and occasionally rapid heart beat.

Orovo Advanced Review
Orovo Advanced Weight Loss is one of a series of different weight loss products all available by the same manufacturer. Each one is based on a list of ten “super foods” that they claim will help to make losing weight faster and easier. In Orovo Advanced diet pills there is actually an unbelievable 104 ingredients in the formula, making reviewers wonder if there is really enough of anything to have any impact on weight loss in any way.
The advertising for Orovo Advanced diet pills claims that this weight loss product helps to combat many of the factors that make losing weight so difficult, such as controlling calorie intake, depression, hormone imbalance, slow metabolism, water retention and so on. Fortunately, we in the dieting world know that when something sounds too good to be true, it usually is, and Orovo Advanced diet pills are no exception.
As mentioned above, many of the ingredients in Orovo Advanced Weight Loss are likely contained in amounts too small to really have any impact on your ability to lose weight. What Orovo Advanced does contain is 800mg of three ingredients in its formula (dandelion root, buchu leaves and uva ursi) that are known diuretics. This may explain why some people experience a loss of weight when they first start using these pills. Unfortunately, losing water is only a temporary form of weight loss and does not result in loss of body fat – in fact, dehydration caused by diuretics can even slow metabolism and fat loss.
To use this product, it is recommended that six capsules start on the first day – with three before the morning meal and three before the midday meal, with an increase of two capsules every day until the maximum of ten capsules per day has been reached. At that point, there will be five capsules taken ahead of breakfast as well as five more before lunchtime. Each time the capsules are taken, sixteen ounces of water should also be taken.
Compared to other diet pills, Orovo Advanced requires a lot of pill popping. Although some people may not mind this, others will find it rather inconvenient.
One benefit to Orovo products is that whether or not they have actually been tested for efficacy and no matter if they do work, they do disclose a full list of ingredients. The downside is that the proprietary blends in Orovo diet pills do not give quantities of individual ingredients, which makes it impossible to determine if the ingredients are contain in quantities to make them worthwhile.
Another drawback to Orovo diet products in general is their steep price tags. A one month supply of Orovo Advanced Weight Loss retails for either $80 or $150 USD. If you want to pay $80 you have to sign up to become a “preferred customer”. These memberships are very risky because many people find that it is not easy to cancel their monthly orders and often get billed for product that they do not want. With so many other more affordable weight loss products available, paying $80 or more a month for diet pills is not recommended unless you have money lying around to burn, which most don’t.
Product Information
Suggested Use: Start off with only 6 capsules on your first day (3 before breakfast and 3 before lunch) and increase daily dosage by 2 capsules every two days until maximum doasage of 10 capsules per day is reached. From here on take 5 capsules before breakfast and an additional 5 capsules before lunch. Take capsules with at least 16 oz. of water. DO NOT EXCEED 10 CAPSULES PER DAY. Do not take 6 hours before sleep.

Zenitrim Review
Zenitrim, by MicroNutra Health, is marketed as a natural, stimulant-free diet pill that traps fats, blocks carbs and suppresses appetite for enhanced weight loss.
MicroNutra Health is the manufacturer of Zenitrim and offers good information about this product on their website. Other websites advertise that Zenitrim diet pills can block fat so effectively that users don’t have to change their diets to lose weight. This, however, is not the claim made by MicroNutra Health, which clearly states that Zenitrim should be taken along with healthy eating habits, calorie restriction and moderate exercise for the best benefit.
Zenitrim contains two ingredients in its proprietary blend – glucomannan and konjac root extract. Both of these ingredients are made from the Konjac plant and are high in soluble fiber. When these soluble fibers are consumed with water they create a jelly-like substance in the stomach, giving the user feeling of fullness. Thus, when taken before meals, Zenitrim diet pills can help fill the stomach before food arrives, making the user have less of an appetite and eat fewer calories.
Along with appetite suppression, konjac root and glucomannan are common diet pill ingredients because they are believed to block the absorption of some dietary fats and carbohydrates. Although there are no human studies that support this, it is believed that small amounts of fats and carbohydrates may bind with these soluble fibers in the stomach and be removed from the body without being digested.
Other than appetite suppression and blocking carbs and fats, konjac root extract and glucomannan are also used to help lower cholesterol, stabilize blood sugar levels and improve bowel movements.
Will Zenitrim help someone lose weight? Perhaps if combined with a good exercise program and low-calorie diet users could expect to lose some weight when taking Zenitrim, however that weight loss will likely be due to the lifestyle changes they’ve made to diet and exercise rather than the pill itself. For people who have a hard time controlling appetite and portions at meals, taking Zenitrim may help them to eat less, which would benefit weight loss.
A month’s supply of Zenitrim costs about $57 USD (including shipping), which is a rather steep price tag for a product that only contains fiber. MicroNutra Health does offer a 90-day money back guarantee, but you would have to read the fine print closely to understand their terms. If you really want to try glucomannan or konjac root fibers you can order them on their own from many online sources. These products range in price from below $3 to about $20 USD. This would be a much cheaper option for those who want to save a few bucks – and who doesn’t want that?
Product Information
Suggested Use: As a dietary tool take two capsules twice daily, 30 minutes before your two main meals.
Ingredients: (Serving Size: 2 capsules)
| Zenitrene |
1500mg |
| Glucomannan (40% konjac root polysaccharide extract) |
|
Other Ingredients: Cellulose, magnesium, silicate, stearic acid.
Caution: Take this product with plenty of water. Do not take this product if you have difficulty swallowing.

Orovo Original Review
Orovo Original is produced by the manufacturer Orovo, which also creates a number of other health and beauty products and pills, especially ones that claim to help with treating acne, building muscle and skin care for anti-aging effects. The advertising for Orovo Original diet pills claims to help users to decrease their weight while detoxifying their body (a controversial process) and even reducing wrinkles and blemishes on the skin at the same time. It seems to offer a little bit of everything. It says that it accomplishes its goals by way of its special formula of ten “superfoods” that have been recommended by a Dr. Nicholas Perricone.
As with all of its supplement products, Orovo’s official website provides a full ingredients list of ingredients for Orovo original that includes quantities except for its proprietary blend of superfoods, which comprise 350 milligrams in each capsule. Each capsule contains: Green Tea 150mg, Alpha Lipoic Acid 75mg, DMAE 75mg, Idebenone 25mg, Barley, Acai, Cayenne Pepper, Buckwheat, Flaxseed, Alfalfa Sprout, Lactobacillus Acidophilus, Soy Isoflavones, Garlic, and Wheatgrass.
Considering the ingredients in Orovo Original diet pills, it is uncertain whether or not the product could possibly have any benefit for weight loss, since the quantities of each ingredient in the Superfoods Blend are not provided. Orovo Original diet pills does include green tea in adequate amounts for one to experience a boost in thermogenesis (fat burning). Other than that, though it may stand up to its promises for wrinkle reduction and acne healing (which is doubtful), it doesn’t look as though there is much to help with weight loss in a realistic and measurable sense.
These ten super foods, though not expensive themselves, are quite pricey in the form of Orovo Original, since it retails for $79.99 USD per bottle. The suggested serving is 1-2 capsules twice daily, which could mean that you will end up spending almost $160 USD per month to take Orovo Original. This is an unbelievably expensive price for a diet pill. The official Orovo website does offer discounted prices, but customers must sign up with the site’s shipping program to become a “preferred customer”. These types of memberships make it much more difficult to stop receiving the product than simply making the decision – a cancellation is required. When buying diet pills, you should always avoid signing up for memberships of this sort.
To add to the relative uncertainty about the effectiveness of Orovo Original diet pills, the company does not include a money-back guarantee to help to decrease the potential risk of using the product without any benefits. Since the product doesn’t prove its effectiveness and doesn’t have a money back guarantee, the staggeringly high price may not be worth the risk for many consumers.

Lipo Assassin Review
Lipo Assassin by Legal Gear is a weight loss product that is marketed as being stimulant-free, but able to increase thermogenesis for burning fat as it reduces the appetite and helps in building lean body mass. It uses a series of herbal and non-herbal ingredients to try to achieve this goal.
The instructions state that two capsules are required per serving. They will need to be taken three times every day, never exceeding six pills every day (within the span of twenty four hours). Anything over this amount could result in unpleasant side effects or even health risks.
The formula is a blend based primarily on guggulsterones, which are derived from the Commiphora Mukul herb. This substance has shown in some studies to be helpful in assisting with proper thyroid function, which means that the hormones of the body will be better balanced. This is especially the case in the hormones that regulate the temperature of the body and run the metabolism. Though it hasn’t actually been proven yet in any studies that guggulsterones will cause weight loss, they do help with thermogenesis, which can assist in making it easier to lose weight.
Evodiamine is another primary active ingredient in Lipo Assassin diet pills, and is derived from the Evodia rutaecarpa herb. It helps to slow the progress of food through the digestive system. This allows food to remain in the stomach longer than usual, maintaining a full feeling longer. This being said, it should be taken very carefully as it can cause constipation and can result in a higher rate of allergic reactions to substances that would not otherwise cause such reactions.
Green tea is an ingredient in Lipo Assassin’s herbal blend. It has been found that when used in large enough daily quantities, Green tea can help with the regulation of sugars in the body, which allows carbohydrates to be better metabolized so that less energy results in stored fat. However, it requires a certain amount in order to be effective and the amount of green tea in each pill is not listed by Lipo Assassin’s marketing materials, therefore, it is impossible to tell whether this ingredient will be of any use at all. Also, green tea is a source of caffeine, which means that Lipo Assassin diet pills do contain at least one stimulant.
Momordica and Fo-ti, two other ingredients listed in the herbal blend, are both traditional Chinese herbs, neither of which has been shown in human studies to impact weight loss in any positive way. Similarly, while berberine is an effective liver protector, it doesn’t do anything to help burn fat, boost energy, or lose weight in any other direct way.
The ingredients listed in Lipo Assassin suggest this product will not be very beneficial for weight loss. Relying on the effects of guggulsterones and a small amount of caffeine from green tea will not boost your metabolism high enough to see results.

Phentramene Review
Phentramene is an over-the-counter diet pill that is only related to the very popular and effective prescription diet pill Phentermine in name alone. The marketing for phentramene says that it is a form of supplement that is absorbed very quickly by the body in order to provide suppression of the appetite along with an energy boost. All of this is accomplished, according to the distributors of the drug, using all-natural ingredients.
In order to properly evaluate this supplement, it is important to look into the ingredients. Among them are Hoodia Gordonii, which is very present at the head of all of its marketing materials, as well as Green Tea, Cha de Bugre and Guarana. Upon looking at this list of active ingredients, an individual who has educated him or herself about common ingredients in over-the-counter weight loss supplements would hesitate to make this purchase.
Naturally, it is always highly recommended that a doctor be consulted before starting any weight loss effort, especially when it comes to taking some form of pill. In this case, a doctor may point out that there are two ingredients in this drug that have caused a great deal of controversy and red flags in the medical community, and that since the third’s quantities have not been divulged, it is impossible to know if it will actually be beneficial.
Hoodia Gordonii, though it has received a great deal of media attention for weight loss drugs, has never been proven to be even slightly effective using medical studies on humans. In fact, the Mayo Clinic says that the weight suppression claims are not only unfounded, but so are claims that it is safe as there have not yet been enough reputable studies to deem it so.
Guarana is a stimulant similar to caffeine, only much more powerful. Though this can provide a significant energy boost, which helps when fewer calories are being consumed but a higher activity level is required, Guarana has been known to cause a rapid heartbeat, high blood pressure, and in some rare individuals or among people who already suffered from heart problems, heart failure has occurred. Furthermore, for people who are already sensitive to the affects of stimulants, Guarana will only cause the same problems, but potentially stronger, such as headaches, nausea, sleeplessness, and jitters.
The other two ingredients in Phentramene diet pills are Green Tea and Cha de Bugre. Green tea, which is a source of catechins and caffeine, does help to increase metabolism when taking in larger doses. Cha de Bugre, a common ingredient in Brazilian diet pills, is a known diuretic.
The positive side of Phentramene diet pills is that they likely will not cause dangerous side-effects like the prescription drug Phentermine is known for. However, this is the only positive that can be found regarding this diet pill. Since information about ingredient dosages are not provided, this suggests that the ingredients are contained in sub-standard amounts. Considering this, and the ingredients themselves, it can be concluded that there is no possible way that Phentramene diet pills will result in weight loss like what you could expect from prescription Phentermine. Phentramene will be a weak diet pill at best, despite what the advertising will have you believe.
Product Information
Suggested Use: You should take Phentramene every day for maximum benefit; do not become lax in taking dosage. It’s best to take 1 capsule with 8 oz. of water just prior to breakfast and 1 capsule with 8 oz. of water just prior to your evening meal. Taking 2 capsules at a time on your first 5 days is highly suggested.

Thermo Burst Review
The claims for Thermo Burst by GNC are that it helps the body to burn calories as well as boosting energy levels of the users so that they can work out more effectively. This product is marketed toward people who are already working out and who are seeking more energy to get more out of their exercises.
GNC claims to have research that shows that Thermo Burst can indeed help with heightened energy for a workout and this review has little doubt that at least that is true, as it contains ingredients that are stimulants (Ginger Root Extract, Black Tea Leaves Extract and Guarana Seed) and will heighten energy levels. This being said, people with high blood pressure or who have adverse reactions to stimulants should avoid this product, and other stimulants (such as coffee) should be avoided when this product is in use.
GNC Thermo Burst is a product designed not necessarily for people seeking to reduce their overall body fat, but is instead for those who want to lower the fat on their body to help to define their lean muscles for a more “cut” look to their physique. Body builders and fitness experts are the main target audience, instead of simply dieters.
The ingredients within GNC Thermo Burst include: Vitamin C, Niacin, Vitamin B6, Pantothenic Acid, Yerba Mate, Guarana Seed Extract, Black Tea Leaves Extract, Ginger Root Expert, Schisandra Chinensis Fruit Extract, Dill Weed Extract, and Grape Seed Extract.
Though there isn’t anything contained within the ingredients that stands out when compared to other similar products in the market, what does stand out is its price. For ninety capsules, GNC Thermo Burst costs a whopping $49.95 at the time of this review.
Though this product has been studied, it has only been examined in terms of its usefulness as an energy booster during exercise, and has not been studied for its weight loss or fat burning benefits. For this reason – and the fact that it is not marketed for weight loss, but is instead for body building – this product is not recommended as a general weight loss tool to help dieters to achieve their goals.

WaterShed Review
Though often mistaken for a weight loss product, Absolute Nutrition Watershed is actually a diuretic diet pill that has been designed specifically for bodybuilders who want to flush extra water weight from their bodies before a competition. This being said, the manufacturer does say that the product is safe for both men and women at all levels of fitness. Therefore, if the customer is looking to lose water weight and not extra fat from the body, this is the purpose the marketing suggests for use of this product. It claims to be able to remove all excess water from the body within the span of three days. It is recommended that this product be used in conjunction with a healthy diet and a regular exercise routine.
In order to achieve these results, the following ingredients are included in the Absolute Nutrition Watershed formula: Potassium (from Potassium Gluconate), Cornsilk Stylus, Couchgrass Rhizome, Rose Hips Extract, Elecampane Root, Goldenrod Herb (Aerial Parts), Celery Seed, Dandelion Root Standardized Extract (20% Taraxasterol), Uva Ursi Extract and Parsley Extract.
Dandelion root is the ingredient that stands out the most as being a well-known diuretic that is often also included in weight loss products to give the appearance of rapid weight loss when it is only excess water that is being flushed away. It is important that potassium is indeed included within this product because diuretics can be dangerous when they flush the potassium from the body, leaving it deficient. Therefore, the fact that it is the first ingredient within the list is a promising indication as to the balance achieved within this formula. Couchgrass and cornsilk are also diuretics believed to help the kidneys gently flush water out of the body.
Though Absolute Nutrition does offer a money back guarantee, the details of that promise are not clearly defined by the website. This being said, if you are looking to actually lose weight, Absolute Nutrition Watershed is not the solution you are seeking. Even if you lose water weight, it is only a temporary effect and removes only water and not actual fat from the body. A healthier way to lose water weight when dieting is to simply remain well-hydrated by drinking adequate amounts of water every day.
Product Information
Suggested Use: Take two tablets in A.M. and two tablets in P.M. Drink a full 8 oz. glass of water with each dosage. Use for only 3 days consecutively. Take one day off, begin again. It’s helpful to drink water throughout the day.
