Pyruvate 1000 ChromeMate CitriMax - 180 Capsules #6752


I exercise with weights and an elliptical and I would have liked to lose some weight but I wasn't taking any action to do that. I'm not into diets or pills other than vitamins. I bought this product for the chromium component and not for any weight loss benefit. I've unexpectedly dropped 20 lbs from 220 to 200 (5'11") after about six weeks.

STACKER 3 XPLC METABOLISM BOOSTER (3)20 CT. BOTTLES


I've probably tried every diet product out there over the past 10 years, but this one was the only one that caused side effects for me...my mouth wouldn't stop watering and i was shivery and had goosebumps for 3-4 hours. i tried it 3 times to make sure something else was not the cause, but this was definitely it, all 3 times had the same reaction

The texture and flavor of these bars don't go well together. The berry bliss and the chocolate charger are much much better.

Extend Bar Mixed Berry Delight, 15-Count, 21.16-Ounce Box


If you're looking to control digestible carbs -- not just sugar -- then it'd be nice to know that these bars have a ton of slow-release carbs, and may not suit you.

Which is why, Amazon, it is REALLY frustrating when you don't include nutritional information for food. That's like trying to buy a book without knowing the author, or a computer without knowing how much RAM, hard disk space, or video memory it has.

Yes, sometimes that nutritional information is wrong. WE GET IT. So put on your warning, and move on. Pulling the information because some twits out there are, apparently, outfitting their Himalayan mountain expeditions based solely on the nutritional data you list, and then, I suppose, eating some of their porters when your calorie counts are off, isn't fair to the everyday Joes who just want something to munch on.

For the rest of us, we'd just like to have some small inkling of what food is in the food we're about to buy. Pretty please. Because shopping from Amazon shouldn't mean I have to spend half my time Googling each product to find out what the heck it actually is.

Power Crunch High Protein Energy Snack, Cookies & Creme, 1.4-Ounce Bars (Pack of 12)


I love this protein snack bar. Tastes more like a candy bar than a protein bar and is easy to eat, easy to digest and a very quick & satisfying snack. I use it as a meal replacement or a fast way to stop my chocolate cravings. Love it.

Xenadrine RFA-1 Drink Packets - Rapid Weight Loss Drink Mix, 21 Packets


For those looking for a replacement of the recently recalled Hydroxycut "lose weight fast" pills and drink packets, look no further. Xenodrine is virtually the same. I bought a pack to help ween me off of the abrubt stop of Hydroxycut (i don't want to continue to take this product because i fear since its so similar to Hydroxycut that it might be just as dangerous to my health). But for those who aren't worried this works just as well as Hydroxycut. I doubt there is anything wrong with this product because its so similar to Hydroxycut that i'm sure once the recall happened the manufacturers for Xenodrine looked into what was causing the illnesses. The only con i can come up with for this product is that it doesn't mix as well as Hydoroxycut did... You will experience little chunks in the water no matter how well you shake it up.

Better Batter Gluten Free Flour 5lb


I ordered this because of the positive reviews here, and the description touting it as an almost 100% substitute for wheat flour. It is not. It is great for breading chicken breasts before sauteing, but has utterly failed in other applications. I tried making crepe batter, which with wheat flour is very liquidy. With this, I got a goopy mix resembling bread dough. Even after doubling the liquid in the recipe the batter remained thick and doughy. I also tried using this to make the dough for samosas, and again ended up with a thick goop, even after adding more water.

It's possible this is a good batter for baking, as I haven't used the oven with it, but it definitely not a 100% substitute.

Necta Sweet Saccharin Sugar Substitute 0.25 Grain Tablets - 1000 Each

Organic Cacao Cocoa Butter (White Chocolate) - 16 Ounces


It is so easy to make Raw chocolate candy with this raw cacao butter. It melts so easily. Just shave it with a cheese grater, then place it in a bowl and put it in your food dehydrator. Or, if you dont have one, turn on your oven (don't put the cacao butter inside the oven-defeats the purpose of it being raw), but place the shaved cacao on top of the stove. The heat from the stove will do the trick. The butter will remain raw as long as you don't let its temperature rise above 118 degrees. You could even put the cacao in a glass bowl then place the bowl in very hot (not boiling) water. It melts quickly, just stir often. An added bonus...it smells sooo good. I tasted it plain too...no flavor, just smooth as silk.

Rice n Shine (Original)


I'm always in a rush in the mornings. Up at 5am and out the door by 5:30. Fix my hair, paint my face and have a glass of Rice n Shine Original Flavor. Hunger doesn't visit me for hours. My favorite is putting two scoops into a glass of cranberry juice or blended with pineapple juice. I taste the juice and not the Rice n Shine. It blends so smoothly with no lumps in no time at all.

3 Combo High Potency ACAI Juice Extreem - Natural Nutrition, Energy and also used for Weight Loss Detox Diet , ACAI Fat Burn #3 and Colon Cleanse Complete #7


I have been trying these products and find them to work well. I am taking these because colon cancer runs in the family and I want to try and prevent myself from getting colon cancer. I believe the antioxidents and colon cleansing are worth trying as preventative measures. The fat burn has helped trim a few pounds for me.

Dexatrim Max 2O, Mixed Berry Flavor, Effervescent Tablets, 20 Tablets (Pack of 2)


This product didnt work for me. I started eating healthy, (Fruits and Vegetables) and running every other day (As this product recommends while using it). I acctually started gaining weight. Didnt loose any, and I took this over a period of about 2 months. 2 tablets in the morning, 2 in the evening, as it says. I truly believe the only way to loose weight is the old fashion way of diet and exercise. Our bodies wern't meant to handle some "super pill" that sheds the pounds. Instead of buying this product, try waking up and running a mile each day. It will give you energy that you never knew you had and this product never could've given you!

Celsius - Celsius Cola, 4 cans


The prospect of losing weight while drinking an energy drink certainly is appealing. The surprise is this actually tastes good. My wife and I decided to give it a trial. A can for mid-morning, a can mid-afternoon and a can before an evening walk, for 13 days. Can't say for sure the cause, but I lost 1 pound and my wife 2. It may have been just cutting out the sugary alternatives. Because of the decent taste we're going to keep it up. Would love to hear from others. This almost sounds too good to be true.

Atkins Advantage Bars, Chocolate Chip Granola, 5/1.7-Ounce Bars (Pack of 2 )


These bars are filling as a meal replacement, in my opinion. They make a GREAT sweet snack as well. There's NOTHING diet or nutritious tasting about these, yet they are low carb and loaded with vitamins and minerals. I think this happens to be one of the best flavors ever.

Met-Rx Protein Plus Protein Bar, Chocolate Fudge Deluxe, 3-Ounce Bars (Pack of 12)


These bars are not delicious, but don't taste bad at all. They are however very chewy and you'll need to have a drink while eating them as recommended by the label. I wish they were a little cheaper though. So they lose a star based on price since it comes out to $2 a bar even when buying in bulk. But at over 30 grams of protein per bar, its still worth it. I've tried the roasted peanut flavor the other day and think that once tastes a little bit better.

Metabolic reset is a great product.
I am a carb junkie and it really helps the cravings.

The chocolate flavor is great.
If you whip it up in a blender it is just like a milkshake.

DEX-L10-Delmar Labs South African Hoodia Gordonii, 120 (2 Pack)


This product does what it says it will do. I suspect that poor reviews come from people with unreasonable expectations.

The pill won't take weight off- it will help you eat less so than you will lose weight. That's an important distinction. Take it as directed, and pay attention to how you feel when you're eating. (Don't eat the whole sandwich at lunch just because you always do.) Within a week (two days for me) you'll notice that you're satisfied with less. It doesn't mean you can skip meals, or starve yourself comfortably - it's not a food substitute. And if you take it before a bag of chips, that won't work either. So it's not a magic bullet!

I like it because it seems so natural. No fake water loss, no jitters, no measuring out special foods. You just eat less of what you like. I didn't change anything about my diet - I still ate pizza and a burger now and then - whatever. But two slices instead of four, and half a burger was PLENTY.

As much as I like this product, I actually prefer the "red box" from the same company - but it's very hard to find.

Probar LLC - Probar Superfood Slam, 12 bar


Probar seems to be expensive, but it is large and I don't usually eat the whole bar at once, so the price may not be so bad compared to other bars. I normally eat 1/3 of it or just nibble (not only because of its price but also its calories!). It gives you sustained energy and is great for on-the-go breakfast or snack during the day. I also nibble it before and after my workout. Surprisingly, it tastes good, too! Nutty, seedy and chocolaty. I also eat other protein bars, but when I need energy that won't lift me and dump me, I like this bar. All the organic ingredients also make you feel good that you are eating well.

Met-Rx - Protein Plus Chocolate Chocolate Chunk, 12 bar


I buy these primarily as protein snacks for use during all day matches. Since I have hypoglycemia, it's important to have very low sugar content. The taste is pretty good, but there is an after taste.

There is 32 grams of sugar alcohols, but sugar alcohols are supposed to be NOT seen as sugar by the body. I do feel quite good for some time after eating it. This is a good sign that the sugar alcohol is not being seen as sugar by my body.

Nutiva Organic Hempseed Original Bars, 1.4-Ounces (Pack of 24)


I recognize the value of these bars, and like them reasonably well, but not anywhere near enough to rate them 5 or even 4 stars. I never finished the box before they were out of date (didn't throw them out - just ate the remaining ones after the "best before" date. Still tasted the same - moderately good. Gluten free is a big plus for this bar, and one of the main reasons I bought a box.

Oh - worried about the THC content? I work for a major organization that does no-notice urinalysis on employees, using some of the most sophisticated testing equipment available. I did not come up positive for anything on the day of my no-notice drug test. These seem to be quite safe since there's only a tiny, tiny bit of THC in them per the company and per my experience with testing.

Reset - Weight Loss Shake Mix Vanilla 1.4 lbs


I am a chocolate addict. I HATE splenda, and any foods or drinks that are sweetened with artificial sweetener. I think you can always taste it-so Id say I have discriminating tastes. I dont notice any nasty aftertase with this shake. This is the BEST chocolate diet shake I have ever tried. The "numbers" can't be beat-very high fiber and protein, very low fat AND sugar. Low sugar is important if u r on a diet. I do reccomend that you make this with cold skim milk, or soy milk, which is WAY bettter than making it with water. I put 5-6 oz of my soymilk to cut back on fat and calories that milk cocntains, (instead of the reccomended 8 oz). Its thicker, fluffier and chocolatier:) that way. If your blender can chop ice, throw in 2 ice cubes to make it extra cold, and it tastes even better. If it cant chop ice-throw in 2 ice cubes after you are done blending. It you dont finish the shake you can stick it in the fridge and it will still be great later, just fish out any ice cubes that would melt and leave it watery. What a treat for discriminating chocolate lovers that are on a diet! Also check out Vitalicious Vitamuffins and vitatops -my only other chocolate treat I allow myself while on a strict diet-also great "numbers" and a great taste.

SlimStyles MR Chocolate 1lb12oz


Unlike the previous reviewer i found this to be very chocolaty. I use it in the morning when i don't have time for breakfast and it controls my appetite until i can have fruit at my desk at work. Also, i have started using it half-strength at night. It keeps me from foraging for food after hours. It has lots of fiber so you don't want to let it sit and you do want to drink at least 1 glass of water afterwards. I think it is useful to keep your eating and your bathroom habits on a regular schedule. I thought the vanilla did not taste like vanilla; bland. Am re-ordering 2 of the double chocolate today.

This isn't the best tasting whey protein I have had. Of course, the better tasting ones use synthetic sweeteners.

I am going to keep looking for a naturally sweetened whey protein that tastes great.
