Lipozene Fat Burner Review - Does Lipozene Work?

Does Lipozene Work?

The main ingredient in Lipozene is glucomannan. According to the Federal Trade Commission, there is no clinical evidence to substantiate the effectiveness of weight loss supplements containing glucomannan.

Fact: The marketers of Lipozene, Obesity Research Institute, also marketed FiberThin and Propolene and have settled with the Federal Trade Commission for $1.5 million in customer redress. This is a result from charges by the FTC for misleading weight loss claims which violated federal laws.

Ingredients in Lipozene

Lipozene contains glucomannan which is a water soluble polysaccharide, and considered to be a dietary fiber. The ingredient glucomannan can currently be found in many over the counter supplements for treating health ailments - from constipation to diabetes, but products containing glucomannan have not been approved by the FDA in their effectiveness for treating these health ailments, including Lipozene.

Lipozene Side Effects

Potential side effects from Lipozene as reported on the web include:

- bloating

- fluid retention

- weight gain

- dizziness & spinning sensation

- nausea, including severe stomach pain

- elevated liver tests

- numbness

- muscle aches

- racing heart

- chest pain

Who Should Take Lipozene?

No one, unless pre-approved by their doctor. Those that may be at a higher risk for developing health issues by taking Lipozene or products containing glucomannan include those with heart and circulatory conditions, diabetics, individuals with liver conditions, pregnant and nursing women, individuals with muscular-related diseases, individuals with auto-immune conditions and individuals with hidden health issues.

Although the marketers of Lipozene report that Lipozene is comprised of 100% natural ingredients, even natural ingredients can present significant health risks, including death. Keep in mind that even a poisonous mushroom is a 100% natural source.

Percentage of Body Fat Lost Per Pound

When losing weight, the dieter almost always wants the pounds to drop off as quickly as possible. However, the downside for quick weight loss is loss of lean body weight and muscle. The advantages of losing weight steadily at a slower pace equals more fat loss in the body - which translates to about a 1-3 pound rate of weight loss per week.

Taking this into consideration, the ads for Lipozene claim that for every pound lost, over 70% was body fat - which of course would equal a slow rate of weight loss.

Lipozene Money Back Guarantee

Plug in 'Lipozene scam' or 'Lipozene complaints' in your favorite search engine and you'll see an amazing amount of consumer complaints regarding Lipozene's money back guarantee. Many consumers complain from everything to being overcharged to not receiving their product. Stressful? And let's not forget that stress is one of the key generators for Weight Gain.

In Summary

Rather than putting your hopes and dreams for weight loss success in an over the counter diet supplement which has not been approved by the FDA for effectiveness, save that hard earned money and try the following instead. You sure won't lose a penny for your efforts, but you will lose weight. You won't lose your good health either, and there are so many wonderful things to be GAINED!

- Cut out snacks completely. That alone should generate healthy weight loss.

- For dessert, choose a serving of your favorite fresh, unsweetened canned or frozen fruit.

- Cut out sodas, beer, spirits, and juices and other high calorie beverages. Rather than juice, opt for fruit which is eons lower in calories and offers a healthy dose of fiber.

- For milk and dairy needs, go skim for slim!

- Don't reach for second helpings.

- Base your diet on the official food pyramid.

- Don't forget to exercise. Walking is something that most of us do every day and it's one of the best ways to lose weight.

- Get your ample daily dietary fiber which helps keep the gut moving naturally.

- Rev up your metabolism by starting the day with a healthy breakfast.

- Don't forget those oh-so-important healthy 40 winks.
