When most people think of safflower, they think of cooking oil. But Safflower is without question the next biggest breakthrough in the battle against body fat.

When I first heard of this, I was initially skeptical. But when I heard more, it all made sense. The key to safflower helping you drop down a couple of dress sizes in a short time is due to its linoleic acid content.

Apparently 25 years of research and 600 studies prove that linoleic acid holds the key to helping you shed 20% of your body fat in as little as 12 weeks! The remarkable body slimming power of linoleic acid has been featured on WebMD, CNN, CBS News and the Today Show. That’s an impressive record to be sure.

Here’s where it gets even more interesting. It’s very possible you could see a 20% drop in body fat without a change in your current lifestyle. This makes this weight loss solution perfect for people who just do not have the time, schedule or discipline to adhere to a strict diet and exercise routine.

I’ve been researching weight loss products for some time now and very few products have 25 years worth of research that validates any weight loss claims. On that basis, I started wondering why no one has taken advantage of this research.

Fortunately a company based in Boulder, Colorado, called BODA Botanicals took the inititive and developed a weight loss product with the active ingredient of linoleic acid.

They call their product “Extract No. 3” and it contains 100% natural conjugated linoleic acid derived from safflower seeds. Their product is even approved by the FDA to claim that it can help you increase lean muscle and reduce body fat. Few weight loss products can live up to this. This is why I see BODA Extract No. 3 becoming the next big weight loss product.

And get this, not only does it help you reach your weight loss goals in as little as 12 weeks, you’ll benefit from the healthy fatty acid in it! It’s like taking a vitamin that’s good for your body and your figure!

BODA Botanicals is a member of the Better Business Bureau. We checked in with the Denver BBB office and found that this company is in good standing and is safe to do business with. Their product is also FDA “GRAS” approved, which means it’s recognised as safe to take.

And to prove their product works, BODA Botanicals have a 30 day satisfaction guarantee on Extract No. 3. So if you’re not entirely thrilled with the results you get, let them know and they’ll issue a full refund, minus shipping and handling.

What is This South American Slimming Secret Everyone is Talking About? My Review of the Weight Loss Aid, Zotrim

Imagine a weight loss marvel that’s been used by 10 million people worldwide. That comes with a stunning 5% reduction of weight in just 6 weeks. And you could very well slim your waist by 4.3” in 4 weeks.

If that were possible, it would be a weight loss miracle wouldn’t it?

At first glance, this seems to good to be true. That’s what I felt till I read further. It appears that South America possesses a powerful way to win the battle of the bulge … in fact three different ways.

Allow me to introduce you to Yerba Mate, Guarana and Damiana. These are three plant extracts from South America that have been used for centuries by tribal peoples to naturally suppress appetite.

Unlike many products, which rely on folklore, these three plant extracts have been well researched and the findings are absolutely amazing. Studies by Cornell University, Middlesex Hospital and clinics in Denmark and France attest to the body slimming powers of Yerba Mate, Guarana, and Damiana.

It was found that by taking all three extracts together that you could lose weight without any changes in your daily lifestyle. For most people that’s an incredible statement because most people are too rushed to spend hours at the gym or time preparing complicated weight loss meals. And most people have trouble changing their habits. That’s why it makes sense to look at this seriously.

So where can you get the right dosages of Yerba Mate, Guarana and Damiana to start shedding weight?

There is a weight loss aid that contains all three of these plant extracts and it’s called Zotrim. This product was featured on BBC2’s Professor Regan’s Diet Clinic (17th of April 2009). On that show Professor Regan claimed Zotrim is the more superior dietary supplement when compared to other products on the market, many of which do not provide sound evidence of actual weight loss.

In a 45 day long study, participants lost an average of 11 lbs more than those on the placebo – without negative side effects. Zotrim was compared to two other leading products and outclassed them. One of the success stories that Zotrim claims is a woman who went from a size 24 to a size 12 in just 2 years.

Now will you see similar results? Honestly I don’t know. But the findings are compelling. The maker of Zotrim guarantees you will lose weight or your money back. So if you’re wondering, “Would I try it?” My answer to that would be: “Absolutely.”

The Weight Loss Miracle From South Africa That’s Set the Media World on Fire (Here’s My Review of UniqueHoodia)

It’s a weight loss miracle that’s drawn attention in such places as CBS, ABC, NBC and the BBC. And people internationally are claiming incredible weight loss results – when nothing else has worked. What is this weight loss wonder?

It’s a plant called Hoodia Gordonii. This special plant comes from South Africa and it has raised so much positive press that it was even featured on Oprah, and for good reason.

The excitement all started when a UK based firm researched the plant and isolated an ingredient they call P57. In various clinical studies it was found that pure dried Hoodia Gordonii powder produced the following results:

• Test subjects were able to reduce their food intake by half.
• Calorie intake was observed to drop by 2,000 calories per day.
• Body fat is significantly reduced as well.

In plain English the research shows that with Hoodia, it’s possible you can make cravings vanish, reduce your calorie intake substantially, and lose body fat – not water.

In recent years with the Hoodia craze going on, lots of knock-offs have entered the market. The problem is, to reduce costs; many companies are growing their Hoodia in places such as China, Mexico and the US. The problem with that is, Hoodia is at its best potency from the Kalahari region in South Africa where it is indigenous. So any Hoodia you get needs to come from that region.

Second, many companies are selling Hoodia extracts. The problem with that is the best way to get the most benefit from Hoodia is through powder form and that’s what the scientific studies are founded on – the powder and not extracts.

Another problem is, that many companies provide low dosage capsules to cut costs. If you’re going to buy something, you want the results promised, isn’t that right? The good news is there appears to be a product that delivers. It’s called UniqueHoodia.

This product comes direct from the Kalahari region in South Africa and is in powder form at 460mg per pill, which is the highest effective (safe) dosage available. What’s also interesting to note is each supply of Hoodia stocked is fresh considering that only a few weeks before it was being grown back in South Africa.

The company that markets UniqueHoodia presents some very inspiring success stories that grabbed my attention. They also offer a generous six-month money back guarantee.

Now as you might imagine, if you want cheap prices for something that’s high quality, you’ll want to look elsewhere. While UniqueHoodia won’t break the bank, it’s not cheap either. So in this case, you definitely get what you pay for.

The company that markets it claims they have a 92% re-order rate so if that’s true, then it’s probably worth checking out. Due to the high re-order rate and seasonal issues with harvesting Hoodia in South Africa, there is a potential for limited supply. As such, the company marketing it states that only 1 order at a time per person not exceeding a 6-month quantity will be accepted.

This isn’t the first Hoodia product I’ve come across and I’m sure it won’t be the last. Some are better than others, but this brand in particular, UniqueHoodia, is the real deal and should be taken seriously by anyone interested in Hoodia and weight loss.

Can a Cactus Plant Really Flatten Your Bulging Belly? Here’s My Review of the Hit Product, Proactol

One man claims to have dropped 106 pounds … a woman claims to have went from 95kg to 62kg in 8 months … while another woman claims to have gone from a size 16 to a size 10. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the stories being told about this weight loss sensation. What’s causing these people and many like them to go from thick to thin?

It’s a product called Proactol, and maybe you’ve heard of it. If you haven’t yet, you soon will. Here’s what’s unique about Proactol. The active ingredient is a patented fibre complex that is from a nutritious cactus called “Opuntia ficus-indica”.

The non-soluble fibres in Proactol come in contact with dietary fats and instantly bind with them to form a fluid gel around the fat. When this happens, the fat particle becomes too large to be absorbed by the body and is then safely passed through the body.

According to the makers of Proactol, this product is clinically proven to bind up to 28% of dietary fats. So Proactol is a fat blocker. I can see good things about this and bad.

First the bad. If someone is taking Proactol it may induce a false sense of security in making him or her feel comfortable with eating a diet rich in fattening, unhealthy foods. Remember, Proactol only binds up to 28% of dietary fats. So if you’re eating greasy foods or burgers several times a week, I don’t think it’s possible for you to see significant weight loss results. Besides that, you won’t be helping your health any.

Now on the other hand, if you use this product responsibly, then it’s clear you could see incredible benefits. If you’re eating a sensible diet, then knocking out up to 28% of your dietary fat intake will certainly enable you to see impressive weight loss results.

On another note, in our fast-paced, stressed out lives, we sometimes find ourselves in situations where we have no choice but to get takeaway or eat at a social gathering where the food there won’t be good for our weight loss program. In this instance, having a potent fat blocker will be a lifesaver.

Another facet of Proactol’s approach is that the soluble fibers in it are highly viscous when they bind with bile acid. What this means is, this slows down digestion and makes you have a sense of feeling full. This way, you won’t be liable to overeat or snack too often, which is a big bonus. So this product suppresses your appetite and cravings.

Proactol carries with it a two-prong approach to weight loss. And it’s easy to take too. You ingest 2 to 3 tablets after a meal. What’s refreshing is the makers of Proactol make it clear that while their product is instrumental in helping many people lose substantial weight, it is not the sole reason for the results. They make it clear that you need to be pursuing a healthy lifestyle, which includes exercise and eating right.

Now the question you’re wondering. Is this product worth investing in?

The prices are reasonable for a product like this and it appears that it’s of good quality since you’re getting 100% natural, organic ingredients. The makers of Proactol also offer a full money back guarantee if you’re not delighted with your results. It might also interest you to know this product has appeared in The New York Times and The Telegraph.co.uk publications. So what is my conclusion about Proactol? I think it’s worth trying.

My Review of The Popular “Slim Girl’s Box of Secrets” (Can it really guarantee you will lose 14 pounds in 1 month?)

I’m not a big fan of diets and radical exercise programs and my guess is you aren’t either. So when I heard about a popular new weight loss product called “The Slim Girl’s Box of Secrets” and discovered that it didn’t involve diets or really much exercise it had my attention.

I wanted to find out if it really works weight loss miracles like many people are claiming. I contacted the man behind the product, Ali Campbell, to review his program.

Once the package arrived in the post, I then tore it open and here’s what I found. The Slim Girl’s Box of Secrets includes 2 DVD’s, 2 CD’s, a 200-page book and a specially designed style guide. Everything was of high quality so I was first impressed with that.

Now the next step was to dig into the program and see if it really delivers incredible weight loss results. I found out that the man behind it, Ali Campbell, has a pretty impressive background. He has actually trained Royalty, a few rockstars and some celebrities and notables such as Patrick Swan. Ali’s resume includes expertise in Hypnosis and he’s a trained NLP expert who was taught by the legendary Paul McKenna. Despite all this, Ali comes across as a warm, caring personality that people can relate to.

Ali felt that most weight loss programs were just too unrealistic for the average person to benefit from. So he wanted to do something different and he put his complete weight loss system he used for years to train clients into a step-by-step course in a multi-media format so the average person could truly take it on board.

As I started to read through the book, I was at first taken back by the fact that this wasn’t a program centered around exercises or diet tricks. Instead what I found was that most of this program tackles weight loss issues from a mental perspective.

At first I was starting to feel like this was just a motivational course in a pretty wrapper. But after listening to the CD’s, watching the DVD’s and reading through the book, now I understand the genius behind this system. This is radical material in my opinion that’s not like anything else on the market. In my opinion I don’t think a program quite like this has ever been released.

Some of the exciting things about the The Slim Girl’s Box of Secrets program is that you don’t need to go to the gym or really do much exercise and you can eat as much normal food as you want. This program is not a set of rigid rules that stiffle your life, instead it gives you a lot more freedom when it comes to shedding pounds and inches. And it also teaches you to beat your cravings and it offers you a variety of fascinating mental techniques that anyone can use to slim your waistline. One of the key components of Ali’s package is that you re-program your relationship with food.

Essentially the same expertise one would get from a professional psychotherapist or hypnotherapist who specialises in weight loss, you will get. Incidentally, these skilled professionals can work what almost seems like weight loss miracles even for hard luck cases. The twist is that this expertise is packaged in a streamlined, step-by-step system in plain English that you can use from home.

Another component of Ali’s program is his focus on speeding up your metabolism. One of the biggest secrets of beautiful people is that they have a fast metabolism that allows them to eat calorie rich foods but still maintain a sexy waistline. That’s why focusing on raising your metabolic rate is critical. Ali covers this in extensive detail too.

Now I’ve seen a great deal of books, courses and videos claiming to speed up your metabolism. Some of them are rubbish while others are good. What is my opinion of Ali’s take on speeding up your metabolism? I liked how he had created an efficient, easy and reliable method for doing it. And that’s the problem with many weight loss programs. They take too long to work or they’re too complicated to work.

As for Ali’s claim that his “Slim Girl’s Box of Secrets” will make you lose 14 pounds in 1 month, I can’t say for sure whether it’s 100% true for everyone who tries it. I personally don’t think everyone will lose 14 pounds in 1 month but from reviewing his course and seeing this new approach to weight loss that to my knowledge hasn’t been seen publicly before, I think this claim is realistic. I also think the price for this package is reasonable and it comes with a 45-day money back guarantee so you have plenty of time to decide if it’s right for you – there’s no pressure.

My conclusion is that I would definitely recommend “The Slim Girl’s Box of Secrets” – I was very impressed. My prediction is that there will be a lot of knock-offs of what Ali Campbell is presenting here.
