When I was younger, I had a pretty decent figure. I was not too thin and was not in any way remotely considered fat. My five foot eight frame made from 125 to 132 pounds with ease. However, tended to look a little gaunt at 115 pounds or less. Like most women enjoy a high metabolism, I never thought in those days that would eventually have to deal with menopause weight issues.What difference it makes. By the time he turned 40 years old, my body decided it did not want to burn fat. I could see food and I would win 10 to 15 pounds. So I will admit that there was a time I've tried almost every diet plans - - and the diet pill - - known to man. The only thing that never worked for me, however, was the feeding program developed by Suzanne Somers Somersize. In his plan I lost 75 pounds without breaking a sweat, but that's another story. The theme of this article is diet pills, including the brand "Smart Burn." "Smart Burn" is heralded as one of the weight loss programs more powerful on the market and is called the total body quick weight loss solution made especially for women. Aims to help control appetite, manage daily stress, support and promote mental wellness relaxation. "Smart Burn" contains the ingredient hoodia controversy that many in the healthcare industry as less risky, if not dangerous. Other Ingredients: Garcinia cambogia extract, chromium polynicotinate, and Gymnema extract syvestre all of which are touted to be useful in advertising loss.The weight of this pill in particular women hits right where it hurts. Promises to help us get rid of fat in our problem areas like stomach, thighs, hips and back. It also focuses largely on how women often "feel" when they are overweight. We are promised help deal with stress that increased generate.To negative weight tends to pull the deal, "Smart Burn" that the results are up to 450 percent more successful than other leading brands which followed a proper nutrition and exercise. However, on the surface seems to offer almost anything that anyone could want in a diet pill. But how "Smart Burn" work and referred to someone thinking about taking this pill you have? First, the company does not exactly explain "how" the pill works directly. In contrast, only talks about the kind of results you would expect. There is talk of appetite control, stress management, relaxation and support, but does not directly address how the medication is on the implementation of things.It also not directly address whether or not "Smart Burn" can be taken together with other prescription drugs. It is recommended that anyone considering the pill, talk with your doctor first. Of course, they also know perfectly well that most people do not bother to do so. In making the statement, however, I am sure that they feel less liable.The one thing the company does is make clear that "Smart Burn" is not recommended for women who are pregnant. Nor is it recommended for new mothers are still breast feeding.The suggested dose of "Smart Burn" is two tablets, with an 8-ounce glass of water, three times a day. We recommend taking the medicine for at least 30 minutes and no later than 60 minutes before sitting down to eat. Not recommended for more than six tablets taken in the 24 hours period.Back my days in my right, the best friend and I decided to try this pill weight loss. Unfortunately, both are found to be totally unfounded. My first few weeks of "diet" simply cutting the amount of food they eat and switched to healthy food choices. I also did 30 to 45 minutes of low impact aerobics or walking every day. I lost a total of six pounds. The next two weeks, I repeated the same process and added "Smart Burn" to my regimen. I lost a total of five pounds, one pound less than the previous two weeks, a decrease in performance acceptable in any plan.My average diet best friend also tried to "Smart Burn." During his first month, followed the standard Weight Watchers plan without the benefit of exercise (due to physical disability). She covered a total of 7 pounds. During the second month, continued his diet plan and added "Smart Burn." She lost another 7 pounds, no more than your regular Weight Watchers plan.Unlike its promises, neither felt any benefit from the relief tension of "Smart Burn." And, contrary to his claims, the two really experienced great difficulty sleeping because they are "finished" instead of pure relaxing time in bed expensive pill weight loss, which sells for around $ 49.99 for 100 tablets, do not seem to be much more beneficial impact to the extent that none of us could see. Therefore, it is reset to five stars.
