Slim Forte Slimming Capsule Review

Slim Forte Slimming Capsules come in a box of one month's supply and you can find it online for around $5. They are said to suppress your appetite and help you lose weight. Many people have experienced weight loss of about 15-20 lbs per month.

Slim Forte claims to contain the following herbal ingredients: evening prim rose oil, garcinia cambognia, alfalfa, cassia seed, and lotus leaf. There is no doubt that these are all great herbs for weight loss that you can trust. The problem is, there is an ingredient they don't tell you about.

Do you remember Fruta Planta? Who doesn't right. The directions were to take it with lukewarm water and the number one side effect was dry mouth. Slim Forte is supposed to be taken with lukewarm water and it's number one side effect is also dry mouth. But I'll take it a step further.

Here is a statement made by the FDA that Slim Forte Slimming Capsules contains Sibutramine. Sibutramine is the same ingredient that was present in Fruta Planta Reduce Weight and many other Chinese diet pills that are floating around out there. The problem with Sibutramine is that it has been linked to many cardiac events.

It didn't take a genius to figure out that these pills have Sibutramine once you read about the side effects and directions to take it. I also suspect we will be hearing from the FDA about Lishou Slimming Capsules containing Sibutramine also.

This FDA statement was only issued 2 days ago, so get the word out to your friends who are taking Slim Forte Slimming Capsules or if you suspect that you know someone who wants to buy those slimming capsules.

I urge everyone to be careful about where you purchase your herbal supplements. Do not buy from Chinese companies. There is a trend lately that they have been shipping harmful weight loss products by the boat load. Buy from a company that you can trust. I buy from swansonvitamins.com. They don't slip illegal, harmful ingredients in their products.

Lishou Slimming Capsules Review

Lishou Slimming Capsules make claims that you can lose up to 30 lbs in 1 month. It is said to be an extreme appetite suppressant and fat burner. Tuckahoe is the active ingredient in Lishou Slimming.

About Tuckahoe:

Tuckahoe grows naturally in China and it's also cultivated there. It is a type of edible fungus that grows underground. Tuckahoe is produced in the provinces of Sichuan, Hubei, and Yunnan. Tuckahoe is known as a diuretic. In other words, it gets rid of bloating and makes you urinate.

Bitter orange and lotus are also said to be in Lishou slimming capsules. Bitter orange is a great fat burner, but should be used with caution. See my post Bitter Orange Side Effects.

Unfortunately, tuckahoe, bitter orange, and lotus are the only ingredients that they will disclose. They claim to use an "herbal blend" for the fat burner, but they do not say what herbs are used.

The price range of these pills are anywhere from $7 on Amazon to $30 at specific websites.

Side Effects of Lishou Slimming Capsules are:

• Sleeplessness
• Dry mouth
• Headaches
• Dehydration
• Jitters
• Irregular heartbeat

Lishou Slimming Capsules are said to reduce the appetite within the first day you begin taking them. They also speed up the metabolism so that you can burn fat. You are eating less and burning fat, so the result is weight loss. It seems as though many people have been losing weight on this product.

Those who are pregnant, have heart problems, or apoplexia are advised not to use these pills.

There are said to be counterfeit products, so be careful if you decide to buy these. As with any Asian weight loss pill, this is expected. The same thing happened with Fruta Planta.

Conclusion: The company is secretive, especially about the products. Some people will ignore this and buy anyway. Just remember that pills like this have been known to put people in the hospital before, so you are proceeding at your own risk. As of right now, there is no ban by the FDA on Lishou Slimming Capsules, but there probably will be soon. If you want real herbal weight loss, just use herbs that are known for weight loss like milk thistle, green tea, and acai berry.

For the record, I do not encourage the use of Lishou Slimming Capsules. You are old enough to read the information and make an informed decision on your own.

Coconut Oil Reviews

You have read the weight loss benefits of coconut oil. Now it's time to hear about people who have added coconut oil to their diets and had results to share. Here are some coconut oil reviews and testimonials:

In this review of coconut capsules, one woman says that among other things she has noticed a lot of extra energy. Another woman says it helps her workout longer. One man says he noticed his stomach has less fat. One woman says it helps to control her appetite.

In this forum, one person said their weight loss had leveled off but then they began to use coconut oil and they started to see weight loss again. One man does a fine job of explaining how those who are against coconut oil are wrong because they base their information on a false study that was done four decades ago.

In this forum post, there are a few skeptics, but towards the bottom you see one person who said it flattened their stomach and a girl said she lost 3-4 lbs in a week.

Last but not least, I use coconut oil every day. I use it as a supplement. I don't cook with it. I have lost weight, but then again I love herbs so it's not the only supplement I use. I know it really helps with weight loss though and that is why I use it. It does have saturated fat, but this is a medium chain fat which does NOT get stored. Have you ever heard about good fats and bad fats? Coconut oil contains good fat and good fat helps you get rid of your fat.

There are many more stories I could posts about studies done and people talking about their success, but I think you get the idea now.

Papaya Weight Loss Stories

Papaya has shown evidence of helping improve digestion, especially digestion of meats and aid in weight loss. Now it's time to hear about actual people who have used papaya and found good results with it. Here are some papaya reviews:

In this review of papaya tablets, one girl said her body is assimilating nutrients better.

In this review of chewable papaya enzyme, one girl said she noticed an improvement since her stomach is sensitive. I'm guessing she means the papaya helped her digest her food. Another person says they have been using papaya for 15 years and it helps them with digestion. One man said he gave up antacids and began using papaya enzyme instead and he has no more issues.

My conclusion is this: Papaya will aid in digestion, especially with meats which are hard to digest. If you eat a lot of meat and you tend to be constipated, you will mostly benefit from papaya. It will break down foods and move them through your body more quickly. When food moves through your body more quickly, you tend to lose weight.

Milk Thistle Reviews

Before you incorporate a milk thistle supplement into your daily routine, you may be wanting to know what others think about milk thistle. I've gathered some product reviews for you:

In this review of milk thistle, the majority of customers agree that it effectively cleans the liver of toxins. We know that when our liver is clean it can work more efficiently at removing fat from our bodies instead of storing it. This promotes weight loss. One woman says she has more energy now. Some customers even had tests done on their livers that prove the effectiveness of milk thistle.

I found a nice tid-bit of information on this forum. One lady says that she read a study on milk thistle that says when it cleans your liver, you get 23% more fat burning than before. This is true for reasons I stated above. Another person says she had trouble losing weight. Then she added milk thistle to her diet and she lost 22 lbs.

Herbs are not a gimmick. They actually do help if you allow them too. This is what most people fail to believe.

Another person says it helps with controlling their blood sugar. When you have spikes in blood sugar, it causes unnecessary cravings. Another person said they lost 6 lbs in 3 weeks from taking milk thistle because it really helped to clean the junk out and get the fat burning going. Yet another person lost 5 lbs.

There is actually a lot of people who are saying milk thistle helped them lose pounds. These are not people selling it. They are not getting any benefit from talking about it. They are just sharing their experience.

Conclusion: milk thistle is one of the best herbal remedies for losing weight. Try it. It's cheap anyway. You can get it for a few dollars at swanson vitamins online store.

Grapefruit Peel Reviews

I looked around briefly to see if I could find reviews from people who have added a grapefruit peel to their daily routine and had results to share. Well, I had a hard time finding them, but I did find this study done with 100 people.

These 100 people did not change their normal daily schedules. They didn't change diets or exercise. They went about their normal days. The only difference is they were given half a grapefruit (peel included) and grapefruit juice or a supplement before every meal.

These people lost on average 3 1/2 lbs after 12 weeks. The study can be found here. That's not an extreme amount of weight loss, but it's nice to lose weight without changing much! Just think if you could add another supplement and maybe walk 4 days a week what you could accomplish then.

So there is evidence that grapefruit peel does promote weight loss. It's sold as a weight loss supplement and it could help you in reaching your weight loss goals. You can find grapefruit capsules at most herbal supplement stores. If you want a recommendation, try swansonvitamins.com. I buy my supplements from them.

Cocoa Reviews

If you are thinking about taking a pure cocoa supplement, but you aren't sure yet, I've rounded up some stories and reviews from people who have added pure cocoa to their diet. Here are some cocoa weight loss reviews:

In this review of natural weight loss cocoa, one woman said it suppressed her appetite and she felt full for hours. Another woman says that it helps keep her from getting hungry often. Another woman said she takes it and doesn't get hungry again for many hours. This proves the appetite suppressant powers of cocoa.

In this review of Peruvian cocoa leaf capsules, someone states that they felt an increase in energy, suppressed appetite, and it definitely helped with weight loss because of these benefits.

I briefly took some cocoa for weight loss and I never felt hungry. I had to make myself eat. If you are one of those people who tend to binge (and especially on sweet foods), cocoa capsules may be a great idea for you. You will not feel the urge to binge and you can go forward with your weight loss goals.

Green Tea Reviews

If you want to hear about people who have used green tea and what they have to say about it, here it is:

Here are some reviews from customers of swanson products.

When taking this product, one man reports feeling "lifted" with energy during the day. Another person said it increased her energy and metabolism without feeling the jitters you would expect.

With this product, one woman says she feels the energy and internal heat produced by green tea. Another woman says her and her husband definitely have more energy now that they take green tea. One man says he lost 5 lbs in 3 days from taking 3 capsules a day (1500 mg). He wouldn't lie. He has no reason to because he gets no benefit. It was most likely water weight, but still.

On this product, there are a couple of reviews that say they have increased energy and feel more active during the day.

Reviews of this product say that it definitely gives more energy and assists in weight loss. They also say there are no jitters and it successfully suppresses the appetite. One person says they have lost 5 lbs in 3 weeks.

In this forum, they speak about how green tea really helps suppress the appetite. You know there is always at least one troll in the bunch and there was. He/she stated it was most likely the water they were drinking and not the tea. That's definitely a lie. Water does help with hunger to a certain degree. It's not as effective as green tea though.

And last but not least, my own green tea testimonial. I bought swanson's green tea 500 mg capsules. It's not the standardized extract. It's basically just chopped up green tea leaves inside of a capsule.

It gives me noticeable energy in the day. I don't get sleepy and I don't feel like taking a nap. I actually feel like working out and being productive. Also, I have lost weight. Now, I can't say it was the green tea alone that did it because I do a few things to lose weight. I take green tea, coconut oil, fiber supplement, and chromium picolinate for lean muscle. I work out every day for 30 minutes. Some of the weight loss is definitely due to the green tea though.

So my conclusion is this: You won't lose 20 lbs in a month. You will lose some weight, feel more energy, feel less cravings, and feel good in general. Green tea is a great herb with so many health benefits.

Noni Fruit Reviews

For those interested in hearing stories about how people have used noni fruit to help achieve weight loss, here are some stories I've been able to round up for you:

In a review of noni fruit juice, one woman says it definitely helps curb her appetite. Another person says they feel a boost of energy for the day when they drink noni juice. Many people are also impressed with the price because it's 1/4 of what you would expect to pay.

In this review of noni fruit supplement capsules, someone states that she has used the product for more than a year and always feels like it gives her more energy during the day.

In this review of noni juice, a lady says that it helps her have more energy and increases vitality and mood.

I visited one forum and they were all crying about it being an expensive hyped up drink. None of them had tried it. They said it was $40. Well, not if you look in the right place. Swanson has it for as cheap as $8.33 for 16 fl. oz. (one day's serving is 2 tbsp. so it lasts a while). So it doesn't have to be expensive if you know where to look.

Also swanson has capsules for as cheap as $6.39. These are not just noni fruit either. These are a noni fruit/mangosteen/pomegranate complex, so you're getting all 3 for that price.

It looks like a lot of people are not into taking it because of either the price or they believe someone is lying about the product in order to make a sale. Well, I can tell you I don't sell noni juice or any products. I only write about them. Sometimes I post links to swanson's website but it's because that's where I buy my supplements and they are a trusted company. I don't get commission or anything like that and they don't even have a compensation program.

So my conclusions are that noni fruit will at least curb appetite and give you increased energy. Those customers at swanson do not lie. You can read their good and bad comments for yourself. I would say try it if you feel led to. The price is reasonable and the reviews speak for themselves.

Grape Seed Reviews

Grape seed is a great herb for helping you lose weight. It's packed with antioxidants and gives you a great boost of energy. It blocks fat storage from the foods you eat. Here are some great grape seed testimonials:

On the swanson vitamins website, buyers are able to leave reviews on products and all of them are real. You get to read the good, bad, and ugly. I snooped around to see what people noticed about grape seed when it comes to losing weight.

On this product, someone says they have been taking grape seed for a while and it helps him/her stay fit athletically. This is probably due to the energy that grape seed gives you.

On this product, someone stated that when they exercise, they can feel how much extra energy grape seed provides. Another person stated that it's actually helping him reach his personal fitness goals and he started to see effects soon after taking grape seed.

This is a combination of grape seed, green tea, and pine bark. People are reporting increased energy. One reports appetite suppression.
