REVIEW OVERVIEW Cost Safety Effectiveness User reviews SUMMARY Lack of science behind their claims is the primary reason that we have reservations about recommending this as an effective diet supplement to our readers. We...

SlimFast meal replacements don’t offer the nutritional benefits of whole foods — they can be ‘incomplete’, which in the long term can lead to vitamin or mineral deficiencies if unmonitored. And they don’t teach you how to create and follow a healthy diet or manage your eating habits once you stop using them. Overall, its effectiveness varies drastically depending on the user and what he or she wants from this. It can be a hit or miss. We recommend IdealShake and IdealPlan over this.

All Ab doer products are meant to provide core workouts and help strengthen the abdominal muscles. Although they claim to be unique workouts (ABDOBICS), there is NOT much unique about them, for example stability ball workouts and side to side abs twist are much common and popular workouts that essentially do the same. The claim that Ab doer products like 360 burn a lot of abdominal fat is also quite questionable. 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 customer feedback for previous Ab Doer models, 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.

Herbalife weight loss kits are known as the quick and effortless weight loss system with the use of various protein shakes and the various supplements the company offers. Overall, we believe this weight loss system doesn't provide a good value for money and the cost is on the higher side for most people. Probably because it is marketed through MLM and your consultant/seller takes a good cut in between. There are several user reviews that claim they still felt hungry while using Herbalife shakes and many users didn't like the taste. We recommend IdealShape Diet plans over Herbalife 30 day Ultimate weight loss kit. IdealShake is the best tasting meal replacement shake out there, been in business since 6 years and has more powerful hunger-blocking ingredients. If you are looking for a more natural, sustainable dieting strategy, we also recommend Smoothie Diet.

Skinny Fiber is one of most popular weight loss and appetite suppressing pill, that makes use of glucomannan, a very effective hunger blocker also present in other products like Lipozene, Zero noodles etc. Skinny Body Max takes the fat burning properties of Skinny Fiber to another level by including thermogenic ingredients like Raspberry Ketones, Cayenne Extract, Garcinia Cambogia. Very few supplements do this , some others being "Phenocal" and Instant Knockout that combine thermogenic ingredients with Glucomannan. Though there are some other ingredients in Skinny Body Max and Skinny Fiber that are not completely proven effective for fat loss such as cha de bugre and caralluma, we believe that Skinny Body Max can nevertheless provide significant weight loss. However, Skinny Body Max doesn't provide great value for money and the quantity of ingredients is NOT known. We recommend Instant Knockout , which comes from a more reputed company, has Glucomannan as well as other ingredients that act as thermogenic metabolic boosters, lists its ingredients quantities in precise details, and provides a better value for money. If you are specifically looking for fiber for weight loss, we recommend Smoothie Diet.

Breaking the myths of traditional fasting, Michael Mosley came up with a diet plan, introducing intermittent fasting, to people whose obesity levels continue to soar, even after trying standard dietary advice. Fast Diet is a 5:2 plan that suggests the dieter eat for five days and reduce calories to 500 for two days. Scientific studies are a testimony to the benefits of fasting. This is a new approach to dieting, which naturally helps to relax your body, detoxify your system, and trigger fat burning. Lots of success stories and good opinions can be found being published about this diet, leaving some subtle realities unearthed! Make sure before you embark on the journey of 5:2 dieting, to be aware of calorie restriction that it chains you in. Trying this plan, and then embracing it as a lifestyle habit, has been difficult for many. We believe there are better and more flexible, dieter friendly plans out there, which focus on intermittent fasting as the key to weight loss. We recommend Eat Stop Eat program over Fast Diet.

Overall, Lipozene is a decent weight loss supplement. But the problem with this it has only one mechanism of losing weight. And the diet pills or supplements that work best for a majority of people, work by different mechanisms. So, while lipozene is good at using fiber for weight loss and blocking fat (using glucomannan), it lags behind in using ingredients that provide energy and act as thermogenic metabolic boosters. We recommend Instant Knockout , which has Glucomannan as well as other ingredients that act as thermogenic metabolic boosters, and provides a better value for money. If you are specifically looking for fiber for weight loss, we recommend Smoothie Diet.

Optavia is a meal replacement diet plan with lots of variety and good health mentors. The program includes some good recipes. But not all users find the meals pleasant and it depends on the taste of the users. Also, there are certain side effects possible. Users also report poor customer service and find this program generally more expansive than other meal replacement plans on the market. We recommend IdealPlan over this.

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.

Flat Tummy Tea is yet another product amongst the heap of products in the market, that claim to help you detoxify and lose weight. What could be an easier deal rather than a beverage, for people who want to lose weight in a jiffy ! It helps you to cleanse, re energize and lose weight. Especially girls who hate the sluggish feeling and lethargy that keeps on hovering all day may grab a cup of this tea and feel the difference! Though proper exercise and healthy diet also needs to be incorporated to actually manifest weight loss. All herbal ingredients in this tea have anecdotal proof rather than being medically proven for their effectiveness and safety. This has similar benefits like all other teas, but what makes it different are added ingredients which help to ease digestion, cleanse your system, debloat it and support your metabolism. While moving down the aisle in a shopping store, you may pick up one pack if you are lazy enough not to spend much time and energy on rejuvenating your health. However, to become fit and feel good, you need to incorporate a HEALTHY DIET and to do this without compromising on your energy levels and demands of your taste buds, there are other products in the market, which are developed by experts and proven medically! We recommend Smoothie Diet over Flat tummy tea.
