"
The Simple Truths Behind the Lies of " LOSE 30 POUNDS IN 30
DAYS!!!!!!! "
PART ONE: This battle cry is being heard loudly and
often by a plethora of ' weight loss ' companies most of which are paid
by the ' click ' of your mouse or however you do it on an I-phone. You
will see other screaming ads crying “1 Weird trick to LOSE YOUR BELLY
FAT!!” or - “MELT AWAY YOUR BELLY FAT like the STARS!!!! " OH! Be still
my heart!!! Like the STARS???????????????
Oh yes, I am totally into
looking like them cause I have ALL kinds of money to do all the OTHER
things they do too!!! NOT! SO, let's get reasonable. Let's look at some
of these other
' products ' out there and see how they measure up. What
is in them ? What do they do? Are ALL of their ingredients listed? How
do they market it? Who do they get to endorse it that will kick up their
media exposure and volume? Where do their testimonials come from? You
know what? This is going to take more than one post - I'll have to break
it up because I WILL be comparing how a lifestyle change is IMPERATIVE
to losing weight and KEEPING it off, and how Skinny Fiber can help it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Let's take a look at
one of these ' miracle ' weight loss products: The Green Coffee Bean
Extract - This one won't take long. It took me 5 minutes to discover
this: June 12, 2013 — a major ingredient in those green coffee bean
dietary supplements -- often touted as "miracle" weight-loss products --
doesn't prevent weight gain in obese laboratory mice fed a high-fat
diet when given at higher doses. That's the conclusion of a
first-of-its-kind study published in ACS' Journal of Agricultural and
Food Chemistry. It also linked the ingredient to an unhealthy build-up
of fat in the liver. Vance Matthews, Kevin Croft and their team note
that coffee is rich in healthful, natural, plant-based polyphenol
substances. They cite evidence from past studies that coffee drinkers
have a lower risk of obesity, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes and
other disorders collectively termed the "metabolic syndrome."
Chlorogenic acid (CGA), one coffee polyphenol, is the main ingredient in
scores of dietary supplements promoted as weight-loss products. Much
research has been done on mixtures of coffee polyphenols. Until now,
however, scientists have not checked the effects of higher doses of CGA
alone on obesity and other symptoms of the metabolic syndrome. Matthews'
team decided to do that, using special laboratory mice that are
stand-ins for humans in such tests. They report that mice on a high-fat
diet and mice on a high-fat diet plus CGA gained the same amount of
weight. The CGA mice, however, were more likely to develop disorders
that often lead to type 2 diabetes. They also accumulated fat inside the
cells in their livers. "This study suggests that higher doses of CGA
supplementation in a high-fat diet does not protect against features of
the metabolic syndrome in diet-induced obese mice," they say. Courtesy

Well now -
fancy that - you are putting an ACID into your body, EXTRA acid I might
add if you are still a coffee drinker (and I am...sorta... one cup in
the am of decaf.) And on TOP of that, it builds up fat in your liver.
Beautiful.... You will note that Skinny Fiber DOES NOT contain this '
Chlorogenic acid ' , actually, it contains the enzymes Lipase , Protease
and Amylase that help SUPPORT the detoxification and cleanliness of
your liver. Next up: Garcinia Cambogia (this one is a hoot...)
PART 2 The Simple Truths Behind the Lies of
" LOSE 30 POUNDS IN 30 DAYS!!!!!!! "... This one was my favorite to
research as they are shoving this product in your face in a whole host
of ways!! Since I run this Group, the right side of my FB page is simply
bombarded with these flashing ads... “You Can Flatten Your Stomach
With This New Tip Famous Doctors Are Calling A Fat Miracle!!!!” (Pic of
weird looking fruit) " This diet will rapidly destroy your belly fat
with no exercise. “(Pic of Ellen DeGeneres) Note: Nowhere that I could
find does Ellen DeGeneres endorse this) " Checkout the craziest
Hollywood diet to lose weight the safe way. “(Pic of Rachel Ray ) Note :
She doesn't endorse it either...) The product they are ALL supposedly
endorsing and claiming to be a bona fide MIRACLE ? Garcinia Cambogia.
Oh, and by the way - THIS is what Dr. Oz DOES endorse. As well as
endorsing the Green Coffee Bean Extract, as well as endorsing the one
I'll discuss later, as well as endorsing an excruciating “Slim Down "
drink that has SO MUCH Apple Cider Vinegar in it I swear you lose weight
because you just burned your stomach away !! Trying to find an
unbiased article on this was not so easy. An entire page is devoted to
sites that are ALL linked to DR. OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL, or they are
sites that use his endorsement which means, more clicks = more money for
ads. Sad. I DID find this - over and over: “Garcinia is POSSIBLY SAFE
for most people when used for 12 weeks or less. Long-term safety is
unknown. Garcinia can cause nausea, digestive tract discomfort, and
headache. " You are warned, on most sites, to NOT take this for more
than 12 weeks. No studies have been performed on long term use. No one
has used it longer it seems, actually no one has used it beyond a few
weeks... Behold! The testimonials..... Reason for taking: Weight loss

Comment: I too have experience stomach discomfort. Why is that? Is it
something that is part of it then slowly goes away? Or is it a danger?

empece a tomar garcenoa gambogia,terrible soy una persona sana y fuerte,
pero la experiencia fue terrible dolor de cabeza confuncion inflamacion
de mi estomago terrible un fraude no la recomiendo ( **note** I have
NO IDEA what language this is from this commentor, yet I do not have to
be fluent to recognize the words ' terrible ' " fraud ' and ' no
recommend !! ")
____________________________________________________________________
I've been using this now for 12 days, as instructed, and I've gained 6
pounds. I do 45 mins of cardio 5 days a week, I have a clean healthy
diet and I was hoping this stuff would help me drop about 5 lbs...but
no. I've felt horrible since I started taking CG...aches, stomach
problems, horrible insomnia, and shortness of breath. This stuff is a
total scam and I'm quitting immediately.
__________________________________________________________________
Product is taken BID. Contains chromium, calcium,potassium. I have been
taken for a week and have experienced stomach discomfort after dinner
and during hs. The product is named garcinia Cambodia GFC by clean
healthnutrition. Wondering if it is safe as it is not listed below in
the brand product section.

Comment:
Took recommended dose for four days. By the fifth day I had bad
indigestion and a tight throat. Have stopped taking for two days and
have a burning sensation in my throat. Would not recommend. An expensive
lesson!
___________________________________________________________________
Comment: I have never tried using supplements to lose weight. So I tried
a bottle of pure GC. I took it as recommended and it seemed at first
like it was cutting my craving for food down and I even lost a few
pounds. But after the second week I started to notice that I was getting
very fatigued at the end of the day and my blood sugar levels went up.
Bad for a type-two diabetic. I'm going to stop taking this supplement
because it is causing extreme fatigue, dizziness and stomach discomfort.
I agree, there hasn't been enough research on the effects or
side-effects of this product. Caveat Emptor, let the buyer beware!
___________________________________________________________________
Comment: I purchased mine from Walmart....has same ingredients as the
one advertised....I started having breathing problems shortly after
taking it....scary, so will not continue and now stuck with the
purchase....lost money!
_____________________________________________________________________
After about two weeks on Prima Lite Garcinia Extract and minimal weight
loss, I realized that it was causing the headaches, nausea, sweating and
mental "fuzziness". The side effects began to dissipate within a few
days of stopping the product. Whatever weight loss benefits the product
may have will remain unrealized as the side effects are too severe to be
tolerated any longer.
_________________________________________________________________
Enough ? I have more.... You sure ? Yeah, enough for me too.... Yet,
THIS is what they have posted on their official " Dr. Oz ( The Great and
Powerful ) site : " No negative side effects In the 7 clinical
studies that have been performed to date, no major side effects have
been reported. However, there have been some minor complaints of
headache, skin rash, common cold, and gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms. It
is unknown if these were related to consumption of HCA or not. HCA
works by increasing the serotonin in the brain, which signals you are
full and making the individual feel less interested in food. A nice, but
mild side effect is that it improves the mood of users and ensures that
they do not suffer total lost of appetite. Serotonin as a
neurotransmitter in the brain generally makes one feel good. It is the
target of most antidepressant medications. People with low levels of
serotonin are susceptible to depression, anxiety and may be driven into
reactive or emotional consumption of food.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
HOLY
S**T!!!!!!!!!!!!! They call the above MINOR? AND it messes with the
SEROTONIN LEVELS IN YOUR BRAIN???? THAT's their weight loss ' miracle ‘?
If it affects your serotonin levels, that is scary. That too closely
resembles a DRUG. That sounds like a CHEMICAL. And that's how they make
you feel full? By altering your brain chemicals? Maybe it's just me, but
I DO NOT like the sound of this at all. So again - there are NO drugs
in Skinny Fiber. There are NO chemicals. And we do not use Hollywood
stars (with or without permission) to endorse or promote. And the only
headaches anyone experiences with Skinny Fiber are those who are
eliminating the caffeine and other chemicals that are in sodas and such
from their diet and undergo some withdrawals as they detox. And if you
REALLY READ my posts on detoxing or ALL of the information posted in the
albums and didn't just skim by it , or order your Skinny Fiber and run
off to a closet, uninformed, never to be heard from again - you'll know
detoxing is a GOOD thing. If you don't have to eliminate caffeine as you
don't drink it - you'll have no headaches. Coming up: Glucomannon -
The Do's and Don'ts
Part 3 and Final: (and most important) The
Simple Truths behind the Lies of " LOSE 30 POUNDS IN 30 DAYS!!!!!!!
"...... I'm going to wrap this series up talking about an ingredient
that * IS * in Skinny Fiber, but it is not the ONLY ingredient and
should not be and I'll tell you why...
 |
| This is me (Tracy Davis) |
In my research on these
other weight loss products that claim the infamous 30/30 battle cry, I
found one that is simply called “GLucomannan ". It is endorsed
by....yes, you know it - Dr. Oz. (He is making QUITE a bit of money on
ALL of these is he not?) IF you've read up on the ingredients in Skinny
Fiber you'll see that glucomannan is indeed the first one listed. It is
a natural fiber, a soluble fiber that expands with liquid. That is why
we always recommend taking SF with a full 16oz. bottle of water.
However, since SF is in capsule form, it will not usually get stuck in
your throat when swallowing, it kinda floats. BUT, since SF is 100% all
natural you can still choose to open the capsule and sprinkle the
contents in yogurt or applesauce or in a smoothie and the results will
be the same. (The others I researched come in a white pill form. Kinda
chalky.) The thing I find troubling with just taking ONLY glucomannan,
is that it only acts as a stomach filler. It will expand and make you
feel fuller, but that is about the extent of it. It is a ' helper ' only
in the way that it will help you with portion control and overeating.
It doesn't help break anything down, doesn't aid in digestion, doesn't
detox you and doesn't burn fat. It is but ONE PART of an OVERALL
lifestyle adjustment and change. Not the SOLE part! The advertisement
for it states this: " In one 2007 study published in the British
Journal of Nutrition, participants taking a glucomannan and psyllium
husk combination supplement lost approximately 10 pounds in 16 weeks
compared to 1.7 pounds lost in the placebo group. Another study using
only glucomannan showed an average of 5.5 pounds lost over eight weeks,
**** without making any other diet or lifestyle changes. ***** (Emphasis
mine on this with the stars because I find it so hysterical!!) " This '
psyllium husk combo ' is never explained. SO..... I looked it up! "
Psyllium is a soluble fiber used primarily as a gentle bulk forming
laxative in products such as Metamucil.Many well designed studies have
shown that psyllium relieves constipation. When combined with water, it
swells and produces more bulk, which stimulates the intestines to
contract and helps speed the passage of stool through the digestive
tract. " Source: Psyllium | University of Maryland Medical Center
http://umm. Basically - it's a gonna make you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SO, that's
why they state you needn't make any lifestyle changes or change your
diet - you're just gonna out anything you eat!!! How's THAT for a nice
healthy way to lose weight! You'll lose weight, and nutrients, and
muscle tone and protein and everything else that keeps you....you
know....alive. That is why glucomannan is but ONE ingredient, a small
part, of Skinny Fiber. It is there to make you feel fuller , to help you
eat less if overeating is your problem , but it is there along with 2
other forms of fiber (Psyllium NOT being one of them!), that block the
bad enzymes that form fat (Caralluma) and Cha de Bugre that suppresses
appetite, fights cellulite and stimulates blood circulation. Combine
those with the 7 digestive enzymes and antioxidants that go to work
cleaning out your organs helping you to become healthy from the INSIDE
first, so that the body can then eliminate the fat it has stored
protecting your organs from toxins. Learning the facts can help you
make wiser decisions on your choice of a weight loss product that is to
be intended as a HELPER only.
It is when you COMBINE this with healthy
food choices, increased water, DAILY EXERCISE, and proper rest and
nutrition can you achieve what you REALLY want. A healthy weight that is
there to STAY!! Not a quick fix. Stay
healthy folks, but above
all............STAY INFORMED! And the easiest way to do that is simply
checking in here daily. IT is why I do this....
