Metformin is a relatively safe drug with no major side effects that would help with insulin resistance and weight loss. For those who are seriously overweight metformin can be a useful tool to get the process started, but experts recommend that it should be discontinued as soon as the BMI has come below 35. A study a couple of years ago found that regular exercise and a low GI/GL diet were more effective than metformin anyway and without the nasty side effects. There are natural supplements like Chromium that also acts as blood sugar regulator and works similarly to Metformin, and in a much safe manner. If you are looking for metformin, specifically for weight loss, we recommend chromium supplements instead, like Phen375 and Instant Knockout. If you are diabetic, we recommend The Big Diabetes lie program.

Loaded with antioxidants, retinol and anti-irritants, the serum can boost collagen production, help prevent and fight the signs of aging, reduce discolorations and treat acne breakouts. As a result, skin looks smoother, firmer and younger. However, Retinol can be irritating to some people's skin. Also this product is good for you if you’re looking for a really heavy duty eye cream, or live in a very dry or cold climate If your skin is extremely oily, or you have oily eyelids, we wouldn’t recommend this product. Besides, there are equally effective, if not better, anti aging creams out there which don't come with the side effects of Retinol. We recommend LifeCell and Instant Wrinkle Reducer over this.

Wonder Core Smart and Wonder Core 2 are meant to provide different body workouts especially the core and arms workouts and help strengthen the abdominal muscles. Although they claim to be unique workouts, there is NOT much unique about them. Besides, almost all of the movements are assisted by the machine's spring-loaded design, thereby decreasing the machine's efficiency because essentially it's doing the work for you. If you are a new exerciser with a smallish budget who doesn’t have room for bulky exercise equipment, the Wonder Core Smart as seen on TV can help you to get your fitness journey underway. If you are overweight, using the device alone won’t enable you to look like the people in the ad who are actually doing a broad range of exercises and eating carefully. The design of this equipment and its workouts can NEVER burn more calories than conventional fat burning workouts. That's part of the reason why all those crunches and as-seen-on-TV devices don't give you a six-pack. Besides, to lose belly fat you need to LOSE FAT throughout the body, because FAT is not something that will come off from specific spots. Based on consumer feedback, it seems like it’s more beneficial to those who are just getting back into fitness, older people or who may suffer from arthritis, back pain, or other types of chronic injury. If you’re already reasonably fit and looking to build abs and lose belly fat, there are better options out there.

Proactiv Plus is an advanced acne-treatment system with nanotechnology and added medicine, built-in hydration and a new, smart way to treat acne. It is an all-new 3-Step System — completely reformulated from the ground up. However, this new technology and acne system isn't garnering as much praise as the Proactive original product line. User reviews on the Proactiv Plus system are interestingly mixed. On sites such as Amazon.com, there were more negative reviews than positive, with the biggest issues citing redness, severe dryness, itching, and complete ineffectiveness, along with price. Proactiv Plus reviews on sites such as Acne.org are not as spilt, with negative comments far outnumbering positive reviews by as much as 3 to 1. Consumers feel overcharged. There were also many reported problems in dealing with the customer service of the Proactiv company itself. We recommend Exposed SkinCare Acne system over Proactiv Plus.

Shiseido beneficence wrinkle resist cream, is specially designed to moisturize and smoothen your skin and effectively reduce wrinkles. It is yet another promising product by Shiseido company which is trusted by many. But the product does not come with any evolutionary formulation. Despite that it has Hyaluronic acid in it, it smoothens the skin, but does not reduce wrinkles instantly! Customers have reported that you need to wait for several weeks to see results. Also, there have been reports of the product being too oily, and slippery on the skin. There are mixed views about the product, and nothing so unique which may set it apart from all other products of the same league, such that you may be compelled to pay a hefty price. You may easily find other more promising products in the market like Instant wrinkle reducer, which offer much better results!

Although, Phenocal makes use of several powerful weight loss ingredients, the exact quantities of those ingredients is NOT known, and chances are they are low enough to NOT provide the dramatic results that the product is offering. But, Phenocal is one of the few products in the market that combines glucomannan with thermogenic ingredients like green tea, and cayenne pepper. That raises the chances of this product being a success. However, we'd recommend another similar product Instant Knockout that has the same combination of ingredients - fat blocker like glucomannan, and thermogenic ingredients. Instant Knockout is from a more reputed company, lists out its ingredients in precise details, endorsed by several people from the fitness community and has lots of favorable user reviews. So, it beats Phenocal, in the area of credibility.

If it's a weight loss product, this would be one of the most ridiculous weight loss products out there. However, a closer look at the product reveals it is marketed as skin tightening/contouring product. There may be some temporary cosmetic changes at the skin surface, but these should not be confused with fat or weight loss. The wraps are generally safe, notwithstanding any underlying medical conditions which might be worsened by the wraps. Weight loss results are not clinically proven and if any, are only for the short term. The body wraps can cause a temporary loss of water from the area where you use it. However, it would not take long for the fluid to flow back to the area and restore the original position. The company is silent about this aspect. There is a no return policy unless the product is unused/unopened. Whether or not the product "works" depends on your own expectations. Online reviews are divided down the middle with slightly more negative reviews than positive ones.

Editor's note:- If you are looking for a Hyaluronic Acid anti aging cream, I highly recommend LifeCell. Check it out here. Skincare ingredients appear and disappear from the markets...

The 21 day fix is another fascinating diet plan/weight loss system from the various plans offered by BeachBody. Most people like the fact that the 21 Day Fix takes the guesswork out of serving sizes, with its cute colored portion-controlling containers, because most people grossly underestimate the portion size of particular foods, like grains, oils and nut butters, yet overestimate how many vegetables they are actually getting. OVerall, it's a decent system, but NOTHING ground breaking, because portion control is only one part of the puzzle. There are many user reviews complaining that they felt hungry, couldn't stick to it and/or this strategy of portion counting didn't bring miraculous results. We recommend IdealShape diet plan and Metabolic cooking over the 21 days fix.

A raw food diet is considered an "anti-diet" and more like a lifestyle that simply promotes eating more real foods in their natural state that's about eating mostly or all unprocessed and uncooked foods so you get all the nutrients without the dangerous additives. While weight loss isn't the primary goal of raw diet, you're also likely to feel full when eating lots of raw foods from consuming plenty of fiber and nutrients, so this can help you curb cravings and eat less overall if that's one of your goals. But if you want to make that transition to a healthier lifestyle, make sure you make small swaps, like doing without your dependence on processed foods, eliminating carbs, milk and so on. Don't just rush into this diet plan thinking it will help you lose weight and solve all your health problems. To kickstart your raw food diet journey, we recommend Rocking it with raw program.
