Zotrim – the new Weight loss Supplement

Posted on Tuesday, June 1, 2010 at 5:05 am


There’s a popular new weight loss supplement doing the rounds in the UK called Zotrim; claiming to allow the losing of weight as fast as 5% of body fat within 6 weeks. But does it live up to the hype? This article will look to examine the validity of these claims and more.

Zotrim is in the category of supplements that are natural, based on herbal and plant extracts, not requiring of any kind of prescription, and able to be taken without fear of harmful side effects. As we’ll find out shortly however, in the natural weight loss supplements category, it stands out for one big reason.

The ingredients of Zotrim are a combination of 3 natural extracts. They are Yerba Mate (an ancient plant with energy increasing properties), Damiana, and Guarana (a stiumlant, metabolism increaser, and more) and are combined in a orally digested supplement taken in daily doses.

Unknown to most, Zotrim has in fact been around since early 2000, so it’s not as “new” as it might seem. Different to many weight loss supplements (certainly ones with natural ingredients), Zotrim is backed by exactly 8 scientific studies attesting to it’s effectiveness in fast and easy weight loss in which participants were able to see results (amazingly) “without introducing changes to lifestyle”. Among these studies, there was one in which during a 45 day period, participants lost on average of 11lbs more than those on a placebo. Those are certainly impressive results for a non prescription supplement.

Zotrim also seems to stand out as being cheaper than some of it’s close alternatives; that same study in fact noting that taking this supplement, people were able to lose weight at a cost of about 4 pounds (cost) per pound (of weight) lost while similar supplements the cost was as high as 45 pounds cost per pound lost!

Zotrim seems to be a weight loss supplement definitely worthy of further investigation by anyone looking for quick results in a natural way. There are many places to buy Zotrim around the web.

Motivation TV Show for Developing Diet Reduction Awareness

Posted on Monday, January 11, 2010 at 5:12 am


In America the TV show The Biggest Loser has proved a ratings smash, with thousands tuning in to see the contestants get put through a gruelling weight loss program in an effort to win the $250,000 prize and of course get healthy.

However there has been increasing criticism of the methods used to get the contestants down to a healthy weight and medical experts have expressed serious concerns that the participant’s health is being put at risk in order to make the trials – and results – more extreme.

The winner from 2005, Ryan Benson, has admitted that while following the rapid weight loss plan at one point he was urinating blood and became dehydrated. During the current season, 2 of the contestants ended up being hospitalised during the first episode, with one having to be airlifted to hospital after collapsing during a one-mile race due to heat stroke.

Other contestants have said they were so eager to demonstrate rapid weight loss before weigh-ins that they would drink as little as possible in the 24 hours before getting on the scales.

Dr. Charles Burant, Professor of Internal Medicine at the University of Michigan and director of the Michigan Metabolomics and Obesity Centre, told the New York Times that he was ‘waiting for the first person to have a heart attack’. Doctors generally advise dieters to aim for weight loss of no more than 2 pounds a week, as rapid weight loss can cause the heart muscle to weaken, the heart to beat irregularly and potassium and electrolyte levels to become dangerously low.

Dr. Durant added, “I think the show is so exploitative. They are taking poor people who have severe weight problems whose real focus is trying to win the quarter-million dollars.”

Since the show began, contestants entering the program have become steadily heavier, with the last two seasons featuring people weighing 454 and 476 pounds. Contestants are put through a rigorous weight loss program, with daily hikes, runs and cardiovascular exercise and a low-calorie diet. While the exercise regime is extreme by any standards, the weight of the contestants means that the routines are especially gruelling.

One of the show’s trainers has acknowledged that some of their practices have been ill-judged. Dr. Huizenga, speaking of the mile-long race that resulted in hospitalisation, said, “If we had to do it over, we wouldn’t do it. It was an unexpected complication and we going to do better…(and) that challenge has changed a lot of the way we do things. “

JD Roth a producer on the show and the creator of its format, defended the challenging nature of the program, arguing, “It needs to be extreme in my opinion.”

Weight loss program cause of a woman’s death

Posted on Friday, October 16, 2009 at 7:35 am


A woman has died after her attempts to lose weight saw her lose 3 stone on an extreme diet in an attempt to get slim for her wedding.

Samantha Clowe, who was 34, was 17st 6lbs when she started the Lighter Life weight loss program. The company provides weight loss advice telling participants to stick to a 500 calories a day, which she stuck to until her death 11 weeks later.

At the inquest, it was revealed that after visiting her mother in Southport, Lancarshire, a few hours later her fiancée Andrew Smith found her collapsed on the landing of the Leeds home they shared. The Home Office pathologist Dr Alfredo Walker said that after a post-mortem the cause of death was not established but added that “It may be related to her low calorie diet and weight loss.”

A narrative verdict was recorded and the West Yorkshire coroner David Hinchcliff said that it was “highly likely” that Samantha, a graduate of Leeds University, died due to her heart stopping beating, known as cardiac arrhythmia.

At the inquest, those present heard that Samantha followed the advice of Lighter Life and visited her doctor for weight loss advice and to ensure she could safely start the program before she began. She also had two monthly check-ups with her GP while on the program.

To lose weight, she ate the low-calorie soups, shakes and snacks sold by the company and regularly attended meetings, where she received weight loss tips and weight loss advice, as well as being weighed.

Lighter Life is a program created for those who are severely overweight, with a Body Mass Index of over 25. At the meetings as well as receiving weight loss tips participants take part in cognitive behavioural therapy to change their relationship with food.

Those with lower BMIs receive weight loss advice telling them to eat three food packs a day plus a conventional meal, while those who have a BMI over 30 are meant to only eat 4 food packs a day and no normal meals.

The company promise that their diet is “fast, simple, safe and sustainable” and a spokesperson expressed regret for Miss Clowe’s death, though they refuted any suggestion that her death was related to the program.
