Get Fit with Wii Fit, EA Sports Active Personal Trainer and EA Sports More Workouts

April 30, 2020 by Martha Knight

Couch Jockey to Fitness Fiend

If you’ve been a couch jockey, you will probably be fairly happy using the simple Wii Fit system and the Wii Fit games. They present a fun way to get active and begin a fitness regimen that is more game than workout.

If you’re the type that is motivated by cool stamps that you can put on your Wii calendar each time that you do your weigh in and/or balance tests this system will be sure to satisfy and help you get off the couch and doing something for a change.

However, doing only the Wii Fit board will not generate a lot of weight loss, unless you are doing a lot more, such as changing your eating habits and doing other regular fitness.

Fitness Buddy

If you’ve already been a bit active, or perhaps you have stopped going to the gym for some reason or another, consider the EA Sports Active Personal Trainer program and equipment. The package includes a thigh harness for the nunchuk, a resistance band and webbing straps in addition to the program disc.

This package is an excellent one for going from couch jockey to a fitness friend. The workouts are simple and easy to do at all levels, and offer different ways to work out during sports such as tennis and volleyball or a bit of cardio boxing or even dancing.

volleyball

You can follow along with the pre-designed workouts, or you can design your own depending on the focus you want for the day.

The reason we purchased the EA Sports More Workouts was twofold. 1) the Personal Trainer program did not offer a warm-up/cool down component to the training, and 2) Personal Trainer did not offer any abdominal/core muscle exercises which we consider crucial to our training.

But I want MORE!

The EA Sports More Workouts program offers both warm up and cool down components as well as intensive abdominal and core muscle exercises at three levels, and includes low-impact options for those who cannot jump or hop.

We liked the book by Bob Greene, which teaches the principles of healthy eating and healthy living. We were also pleased that the More Workouts program offered more opportunities to do different sports in a “new environment” – an island resort where we can water ski, paddle boat, do step aerobics or just outrun the trainer.

Both EA Sports programs offer an opportunity to track other activities that you may have done, whether it’s housework, gardening, hiking, golf or just going for a walk. They also both offer you a way to track your eating and living habits to encourage healthy eating and living.

What it’ll cost you:

The EA Sports Personal Trainer program costs about $65 CDN and comes with the thigh strap and resistance band, whereas the More Workouts program costs about $45 CDN and includes the program and a book by Bob Greene which teaches the principles of healthy eating.

Boxing

The dirt:

I would like to see more training gear offered for the programs, such as heavier-duty resistance bands and a way to indicate which ones you’re using for the program to accurately track calorie count. The workouts themselves tend to be approximately a half hour in length; they begin at about 20 minutes and go up to 30 minutes each. These do not seem to be long enough to do a true cardio workout which both programs tout to provide in the short programs.

I would love to see more long workouts, some for a cardio blast (40 – 60 mins) and some for a more intense focus on interval training, and more ways for those who have physical conditions that prevent them from certain movements that can replace rather than remove an action/activity. (ie instead of jump lunges, something low impact that has a similar benefit).

It all adds up

It all comes down to personal integrity and the ability to keep your commitment to yourself. These programs give you the tools to help you, but you still have to do the work. Personally, I’m pretty pleased with my results in the mirror and on the scale.

Fresh Food Versus Supplements: Which Are Better for You?

April 9, 2020 by Martha Knight

Fresh Food Versus Supplements: Which Are Better for You?

To maintain good health we need certain nutrients that we get from the food we eat – or do we? Research has shown that fruit and vegetables contain a fraction of the vitamins, minerals and trace elements that they did one hundred years ago.

Our food is now produced using chemical fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides, genetically modified crops are being produced and used for food and even our air and water contains levels of toxins unheard of at the beginning of the 20th century.

Plant foods contain more antioxidants

Organically grown food has significantly higher levels of nutrients than commercially grown food but organic is usually more expensive and harder to access in regular supplies. People have gradually become accustomed to being able to buy all types of fruit and vegetables all year round, whether they are in season or not, and now expect this as normal.

Antioxidants are an important ingredient of food in this current situation. Antioxidants help to remove toxins or free radicals from our bodies and this is more important to our good health now than ever before. Plant foods contain more antioxidants than any other food group and of these, green leafy vegetables contain more than any other along with some berries, such as blueberries.

The darker and brighter the color of fruit and vegetables indicates the highest concentration of antioxidants. This is because of Phytonutrients which are mainly found in the skin of fruit and vegetables and are responsible for their color and fragrance. This is where the highest concentration of antioxidants is found.

Lifestyles in the 21st century are very busy with unprecedented levels of stress and worry. Carefully prepared home cooked meals are almost a thing of the past in these hectic times as more families rely on pre-prepared meals and take-out food.

It is not easy to find organic produce to buy and even harder to know if it is genuine. Under these circumstances, it is unlikely that we get high enough levels of antioxidants from our food. Justifiably, many people are looking for supplements to ensure the correct amounts of vitamins, minerals and nutrients are included in their diet.

Supplements

Supplements that contain Phytonutrients do have some advantages over fresh fruit and vegetables. They are usually processed from the part of the plants where the nutrients are most concentrated and so have the best antioxidants available. Supplements do not contain the sugars that are in many fruits and only have the nutrients we may be lacking. They are simple and convenient to consume and don’t need any preparation.

Nothing beats fresh, organically grown produce for supplying us with everything we need to maintain good health, but in the absence of such, supplements are a very useful substitute to give us the antioxidants we need.

What Are The Male Extra Benefits?

March 10, 2020 by Martha Knight

male extra

Everyone desires a pleasurable and exciting sex life, but this may be affected by various factors that result in erectile dysfunction. That’s why Male Extra was designed.

It is a male enhancer that promises to improve sexual functions by increasing blood flow to support long-lasting erections.

Many supplements in the market do not work, but Male Extra helps deal with the primary causes of poor sexual performance.

While reviewing Male Extra, we see that it blends 7 clinically proven ingredients that work together to increase blood flow in the penis.

Here are the expected benefits.

Check also best alternative VigRx Plus: https://www.kryolifehealth.com/vigrx-plus-review/

Male Extra Benefits

Bigger, long-lasting and harder erections

Male Extra contains ingredients such as L-Arginine HCL and pomegranate 40% ellagic acid that increase the production of nitric oxide, a vasodilator that boosts blood flow throughout the body.

Thus, there is more blood flow in the penis tissues and oxygen in the cells supporting bigger and harder long lasting erections.

Additionally, zinc boosts the production of testosterone, a hormone that supports harder erections.

MSM supports the growth of new cells in the penis that can hold more blood, therefore supporting a bigger penis.

Intense orgasms

Male Extra has a rich combination of ingredients that boost libido, enhance sex drive and increase blood flow to the penis, supporting intense orgasms.

Increased sexual stamina

It contains L-methionine which lowers histamine, making a man last longer in bed. High levels of histamine are associated with faster ejaculation.

On the other hand, cordyceps boosts oxygen supply and increases sexual desire, making a man go for longer periods.

Additionally, Male Extra also delays fatigue during sex supporting longer and faster sex.

Increases bedroom confidence

Male Extra works to improve sexual performance and increase the volume of the penis while supporting better and long-lasting erections.

When a man has sexual stamina and can go for longer, it boosts their confidence and prowess in the bedroom.

Delays fatigue

Some ingredients present in Male Extra such as pomegranate extract and niacin work to delay fatigue in the body. They supply the body cells with nutrients and more oxygen, which reduces fatigue and allows longer sex.

Strengthens penis tissues

MSM stimulates the growth of new healthy cells in the penis and strengthens the existing ones, thus supporting a stronger penis, which performs overly well.

This also supports better and harder erections.

Increased sexual pressure

More blood flow in the penis increases genital sensitivity; thus, there is more sexual pressure when aroused.

Other benefits

  • Better sex life
  • Healthy testosterone levels
  • Better sperm count and quality

Conclusion

To enjoy the above benefits, you need to take Male Extra as recommended by the manufacturer and stick to the following lifestyle changes:

  • Engage in the penis and cardiovascular exercises
  • Take enough rest
  • Kick bad habits such as drinking too much alcohol and smoking
  • Eat Right (foods that boost blood flow-bananas, chilli pepper, onions, eggs, garlic, vitamin B1 and omega-3 fatty acids)
  • Hydrate the body
  • Avoid stress

Additionally, be patient and take Male Extra consistently for 3-6 months to realise tangible results.

Easy Fat Burning Tips for Women

December 28, 2019 by Martha Knight

fat burning tips for women

As a woman that has battled with my weight for years, I am always looking for ways to lose weight. About a month ago, I started a weight loss program and started counting calories very strictly. One month later, I am down 19 pounds.

However, I want to continue my weight loss and incorporate more exercise, preferably a fat burning regimen. After many, many hours of research, I have found the following tips to help us ladies shed that excess fat!

Timing your pre-meal snack by eating a low carbohydrate protein type bar ninety minutes before your workout will allow you to exercise longer and harder. This result will be that your body will be burning more calories – according to the MyPill research.

Breathe through your nose instead of your mouth will allow you to stabilize your heart rate. Resulting in your body working harder and burning more calories. This process takes time to perfect.

Do cardio last, because it takes about 15 minutes for your body to warm up and start burning fat. Therefore, if you do weights first and then cardio, you will be burning fat for the entire workout period.

Try mixing up your workout with a variety of exercises and equipment. If you develop a routine on a regular basis, your body may adjust to the routine and stop burning fat.

Try not to slouch during your exercise. For instance while riding a stationary bike, if you slouch you are not taking in as much oxygen as you would if you are in good posture. Taking in oxygen will help your body burn fat!

Try to workout on the treadmill and elliptical machine in intervals. Try working out at different levels for certain amounts of time and change it up during the workout. Elliptical machines can have tension variations to change up the routine. Most treadmill and elliptical machines have programs built in for this reason.

Adding weights to normal exercise can help burn fat. If you walk or just stair climb, add a few weights and you are toning muscle and burning fat.

Keep a journal of all your foods that you intake. If you have not been doing this, you might be very amazed at the calories and you may not have discovered. Read labels carefully, make sure the portion size and the calories you are keeping record of, are correct.

Try to find out your basal metabolism, this is the amount of calories that you burn when you are inactive. Check online for charts that can help you determine your basal metabolism, then you will know how many calories you will need to burn to lose weight.

Make sure that you develop a routine three to five times a week. When you have established a routine, your body’s metabolism will increase, therefore allowing you to burn more calories even while inactive.

There is no magic pill that will allow us to drop excess weight overnight. With a little hard work and diet, you will see results. Be patient and do not overwork your muscles and risk injury, this will only set you back. Exercise at your own pace and increase gradually.

Shakeology Review: A Drink That Claims To Make You Healthier And Happier

September 9, 2019 by Martha Knight

The human body is complex and requires a wide range of different nutrients from food sources in order to function as it should. Advancements in scientific research have shown the world that the body does not only need a healthy dose of essential nutrients to stay healthy, but also a constant supply of compounds like antioxidants that can help to fight off cancer, heart disease, and many other health-related issues.

Protein shakes have been on the market for a very long time, offering bodybuilders the ability to increase their daily intake of quality proteins to help them grow muscle mass faster. For many years, protein shakes have remained somewhat the same.

Shakeology is a brand of protein shakes that has been developed to change the way we use protein shakes. The supplements manufactured by this company doesn’t only offer high-quality protein sources, but also a wide range of additional plant-based compounds that provides the body with vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients and many other compounds that can help them lose weight faster, support their metabolism, and reduce their risk of common diseases.

What Is Shakeology?

shakeology review

Shakeology is a protein shake that has been developed to offer the user more than what a traditional protein shake has to offer.

Apart from the proprietary protein blend found in this product, a number of additional formulas have been added for additional benefits – these formulas help to cleanse the body, improve digestion and metabolism, curb cravings, speed up weight loss, and also protect the body through the inclusion of powerful antioxidants.

The product is manufactured by Team BeachBody, a relatively popular brand that does not only focus on nutritional and sports supplements but also a wide range of training material designed to help their customers lose weight, get fit and build muscle.

Shakeology Ingredients

This protein shake makes use of five different proprietary blends that have been combined to form one powerful product. The blends, along with their specific ingredients, are listed below.

  • Protein Blend: Chia seed, Flax seed, Sacha Inchi, Quinoa, Pea extracts, and Whey protein powder.
  • Phytonutrient Blend: Chlorella, Kale, Moringa, Matcha, and Spinach.
  • Digestive Enzyme Blend: Chicory Root, Cellulase, Alpha-Galactosidase, Amylase, Invertase, Glucoamylase, Lactase. Bacillus coagulans has also been added to support a healthy gut microbiome.
  • Adaptogen Blend: Schisandra, Maitake, Maca Root, Astragalus, Cordyceps, Ashwagandha, Chaga, Reishi.
  • Antioxidant Blend: Acerola Berry, Goji Berry, Pomegranate extract, Luo Han Guo, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Camu-Camu, Bilberry, Green Tea extracts.

How To Use Shakeology?

how to use shakeology

Shakeology is a versatile protein shake. It comes in different flavors and can be prepared in a variety of different ways, based on the user’s preferences. Some users prefer to mix the powder only with water – since the shakes are all flavored, there isn’t always a need for adding extra items. The problem, however, seems like the powder does not mix well with water without the use of a blender.

Most people also find the taste on the negative side, so following one of the recipes found on the product’s website may be a good idea.

It is recommended to have one single serving of the protein shake on a daily basis – the brand recommends having the shake in the morning in order to experience its benefits through the day.

A basic option for preparing the shake is to add one serving size of the powder, together with some ice and a cup of water to a blender. Other recipes include adding unsweetened almond milk instead of water, as well as adding frozen fruit, almond butter, vanilla extracts, and other ingredients to the smoothie – essentially to make it taste better.

Shakeology Side Effects

shakeology side effects

The company behind this product states that the user will not experience any adverse reactions while using the protein shake. We were not able to find a lot of reports about side-effects experienced by previous customers on Amazon and other third-party websites.

There were, however, a lot of people who complained about feeling nauseous after drinking the shake, but the majority of these cases were blamed on the taste of the product.

Other than this, no other side-effects seem to have affected people – it should be noted, however, that since the product is no longer available on Amazon and only sold on the manufacturer’s online store, we cannot find more recent reviews to reflect a more effective overview of possible side-effects.

Is Shakeology A Scam?

We thoroughly investigated the brand’s official website, including the landing page that represents the Shakeology protein shake. Additionally, we looked at reviews and information found on third-party websites. We were able to determine that there are no specific data or reports that would classify this product or the manufacturer that makes the product a scam. Even though there are some negative comments shared regarding the product, they are not related to customers being scammed by the company.

Shakeology Reviews & Complaints

Shakeology Reviews

The manufacturer of this protein shake recently decided to remove their listings of the shake on third-party websites like Amazon, and only to sell it on their official web store. This makes it difficult to get a truthful overview of whether the product is effective and offers all the benefits the manufacturer claims it provides the user with.

We were able to identify a page on Amazon where the product was previously listed. The overall rating of the product on Amazon was 4.0 out of 5.0. A total of 224 customer reviews are found on this listing for the protein powdered shake.

Many people claim the product to be useful, but two particular concerns were raised – the price of the product is very high when compared to similar options that an interested person can opt for, and all the flavors that the product comes in seems to be bad-tasting.

Let’s share some of these reviews (both good and bad review).

User Danielle Griffin:

“I have used this to enhance my healthy eating habits, and I am amazed at how much my nutrition has improved over the past few years. I find myself feeling more energy and wanting to make healthier choices.”

User Laura J Soofi:

“I have been drinking Shakeology for over a year now. By far chocolate is my favorite flavor, but I like the vanilla and strawberry too. Not only has it given me such dense nutrition every single day, but my energy level is higher, I have fewer cravings, and it even improves my overall mood.”

User Karah Piscitelli:

“… Since starting Shakeology, I’m no longer irregular and feel SO much better…”

User Elliot Shemtov wasn’t too happy with this product:

“You can go to GNC or Vitamine Shoppe and get a great protein shakes for 20-40 dollars. The cheaper shakes taste great and have way more protein, less sugar and more necessary ingredients like glutamine and BCAA’s…”

Another user also didn’t like this product:

“Purchased a sample pack from Shakeology, only have tried the chocolate so far. DISGUSTING! Blah! So gross – don’t waste your money.”

Shakeology: Packages, Prices & Where To Buy It

where to buy shakeology

These protein shakes come in a variety of flavors and sizes to suit not only the budget of the interested individual but also their taste buds. A popular option provided by this brand is the bulk bag, which contains a supply of the protein shake that will last a total of 30 days (based on the dosage recommendations printed on the back of the pack). A relatively new option, known as the “sampler,” was also introduced to help people get a taste of what this product can offer them without having to invest in a bulk package.

The product has a listing on Amazon but does not seem to be available on this platform anymore. The company profile page for the brand on the Amazon platform has also been wiped out as it contains no listed ingredients or details about the brand.

This means that, at the moment, the only way to buy products that are made by the Shakeology brand is to visit the Team BeachBody online store. This is the website that sells this protein shake, as well as a number of fitness and training courses produced by the Team BeachBody team.

The product is presented in different packages on the Team BeachBody online shopping portal, ensuring that the customer is able to choose the ideal option for them – taking into consideration whether they want to test the product or use it in the long-term, as well as how much they can spend and, of course, what flavor they prefer.

The pricing of the product is as follow:

  • 30-day Bulk Bag: $129.95
  • Individual Packages (24 packets): $129.95

These prices do not include shipping and handling fees, which will be added to an order’s total during the checkout process. These extra charges depending on where the product will be sent

Money Back Guarantee & Refund Policy

Shakeology comes with a guarantee that they like to call the “bottom of the bag” guarantee. The brand has decided to include a 30-day period for new customers during which they can use the shake on a daily basis for an entire month. After the month, the customer can decide whether they want to continue using the product or rather request a refund treat.

It should be noted that the refund processed and submitted to the customer will be less than the amount of money they spent on the product, as the company will deduct fees for shipping and handling. We could not find any reports or reviews related to the refund process of the product. Generally, the brand promises to make the process as streamlined and painless as possible.

Pros

  • This product takes protein shakes to a new level by not only providing the user with top-quality protein sources in a convenient drink but also by including a number of essential nutrients and certain plant-based compounds that can aid in offering the user a boost in their general health.
  • The primary ingredients used in these protein shakes, which mainly consists of fiber and protein, have been carefully selected based on the quality of the ingredients they are sourced from, as well as their ability to help speed up metabolism, while also aiding in the journey to successful, long-term weight maintenance.
  • Many shakes on the market only come in a single flavor. Many of these brands do tend to offer both strawberry and a chocolate flavor. With Shakeology, however, the user is presented with a very large variety of different flavors they can choose from. These flavors are not made with potentially harmful toxic substances, but rather with natural agents.
  • All of the fruits and other ingredients used to formulate this protein shake have a low glycemic index rating, which means the product will not cause the user’s blood sugar levels to be adversely affected.
  • The money-back guarantee offered by this product ensures the user can get the majority of the money they spend on the product back if they do not like it.

Cons

  • The biggest disadvantage of this protein shake would definitely be its price. The price is much higher than the majority of other protein shakes on the market. This is also the most common complaint we found on third-party websites where the product is listed, including Amazon.
  • Most people who have purchased this supplement and tried it before reports that it tastes very bad. Even the chocolate and other flavors that are supposed to be sweet and tasteful are reported to be difficult to swallow. A lot of users claim that the taste of the shake makes them nauseous.
  • The product is limited to only a selected number of countries due to restrictions that have been set in place regarding the shipping policies of the brand.
  • While the product was available on the Amazon global marketplace for some time, the brand has removed all of their listings and decided only to sell these shakes on the official Team BeachBody website. Many people prefer to buy from Amazon, a trusted online retailer, as compared to an online store they have not heard of or used in the past.

Shakeology Review: Final Verdict

Shakeology Review: Final Verdict

A lot of companies have launched protein shakes to help their customers gain the advantage of protein – for both weight loss and muscle growth. Unfortunately, a lot of these products fail to meet the standards required for a user to benefit from the contents of the shake.

Shakeology is a nutritional protein shake that does not only deliver a dose of high-quality whey protein but is also packed with additional ingredients that deliver important nutrients.

The product seems to have a lot of potentials, but, at the same time, some red flags have been lifted.

We offered a comprehensive overview of this protein shake so our reader can decide for themselves is this is a good option for them – or not.

Lipozene Review: Is It Really The Weight Loss Solution You Have Been Waiting For?

September 9, 2019 by Martha Knight

Weight loss products have become an essential part of many people, offering them the opportunity to reduce their body weight more effectively as compared to only eating healthier and exercising more. The problem is that not all supplements work and people often do not know how to utilize such a supplement fully.

Lipozene is a product that aims to provide users a simple and effective way to incorporate a supplement into their weight management plan. The supplement focuses on a single ingredient that has been proven to possess medicinal properties. All ingredients are extracted from natural sources, and no chemicals have been added.

Let’s look closer at this supplement and see if it is indeed a good option for boosting your weight loss results.

What Is Lipozene?

lipozene review

Lipozene is a fiber-based weight loss supplement that, according to the official manufacturer of the product, is currently rated the best option for losing weight in the United States. This is a dietary supplement that is provided in a capsule form and taken by mouth. The pill has been designed primarily to aid in appetite suppression, which results in lower daily caloric intake – an essential element in successful weight loss when combined with caloric exertion that exceeds the number of calories a person takes in.

This weight loss supplement is manufactured by a company known as the Obesity Research Institute. While there is not enough data available regarding the manufacturer to offer a complete overview of who they are, we were able to determine that they only specialize in the production of weight-related supplements and they base their products on scientific studies.

The official landing page where this product is promoted claims that more than 30 million bottles of the Lipozene supplement have been sold in the United States alone.

Lipozene Ingredients

One of the things that makes this supplement so unique is the fact that it only relies on one single active ingredient. Modern-day weight loss supplements often include a massive list of different ingredients. The products use this large ingredient list to promote the effectiveness of their solution – the more ingredients they list, the more studies they can offer the user to convince them to buy the product.

Unfortunately, what they often fail to mention is that more ingredients mean a higher risk of the ingredients not only interacting with each other but also with existing medication that the user may be taking.

Lipozene takes advantage of an ingredient known as Amorphophallus Konjac, a natural extract that has a number of research studies behind it to provide evidence of its beneficial effects on the human body. Amorphophallus Konjac is essentially a special type of fiber that, according to the product’s own website, is able to expand by up to 200 times the size of the fiber when combined with water – water activates the fiber, which then causes the compound to absorb the water and expand. This causes the stomach to fill up with the expanded Amorphophallus Konjac fiber and, in turn, the user will feel fuller, and they will eat less.

One study, published on Science Direct, explains that many scientific studies hold positive results in regards to the use of this substance. In particular, these studies have found that, in addition to its effects on satiety, a number of additional health benefits have also been noted. The health benefits mentioned in this study include:

  • A lowering of plasma cholesterol levels
  • Improvements in bowel movements
  • A boost in the metabolism of carbohydrate
  • Better overall colon health

How Lipozene Work?

How Lipozene Work

Lipozene aims to provide the user with a supplement that they can use to safely reduce the number of calories they consume during the day. This means that the supplement focuses on the single most important aspect related to effective weight loss – reducing the number of calories that the user consumes in a single day to an amount that is lower than the number of calories they burn through physical exercise during the same day. While there are more to obesity and weight gain, these are the essential parts of effective weight reduction.

The formula has been developed in such a way to stay inactive until ingested by the user. Once the capsule reaches the stomach, it will dissolve, and the water contents of the stomach (hence the reason that the capsule should be taken by a large, full glass of water) will activate the formula. This will then cause the active ingredient in the formula to start expanding and make the user better control their cravings, as well as avoid overeating during breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

How To Use Lipozene?

How To Use Lipozene

It is very easy to take advantage of this supplement on a daily basis. The user is instructed that they can take up to six tablets daily for maximum efficiency and to help them reduce their food intake during meals, as well as help them get through the day without constantly reaching for snacks that will cause them to gain more weight.

The six tablets that can be taken daily should be broken down into three different doses. The first dose, consisting of two tablets, should be taken in the morning for around 30 minutes before the user has breakfast. Another two tablets can be taken half an hour before lunch, and then a final dose can be taken half an hour before dinner.

It is vital that the user take each supplement with a minimum of 8oz water since the fiber compound in these supplements needs a healthy supply of water to work effectively.

Lipozene Side Effects

Lipozene Side Effects

Even though the manufacturer of the Lipozene supplement claims that the product is safe and will not cause side-effects, the main ingredient found in this supplement, being Konjac (or glucomannan) has been associated with some side-effects. Not every user will experience these side-effects, but before buying, an interested person should become acknowledged with these possible side-effects.

Common side-effects that may develop include bloating, diarrhea, loose stools, abdominal pain, nausea, and gas. In the majority of cases, these digestive side-effects caused by the active ingredient in this supplement will be mild and may go away. Should the side-effects become more severe, it is advised that the user stops using the product and consult with a doctor.

Since the active ingredient of this supplement may alter blood sugar levels and cholesterol levels, users are advised to consult with their physician before using this supplement if they are currently taking medication that has the same effect in their body.

Is Lipozene A Scam?

Even though some concerns have been lifted regarding possible side-effects of this product, the company behind this supplement seems legit, and they have the appropriate registrations required for the manufacturing of supplements

Lipozene Reviews & Complaints

Lipozene Reviews

One particular problem with looking at customer reviews when it comes to shopping for weight loss products is that very few of these products are sold in locations other than the brand’s official stores. Here, the brand often tends only to showcase positive reviews, which does not provide an interested person with an accurate overview of user experience while using the product.

Luckily Lipozene is sold at online retailers other than the product’s official landing page. This gave us an opportunity to obtain real reviews from customers. There are both positive and negative reviews. The overall rating for the product on its Amazon listing is 2.4 out of 5.0 – this is considered a poor rating when compared to some other options.

Let’s take a look at some of the reviews that have been left on the product’s listing.

User carminenyc says:

“I was initially skeptical after reading the reviews here three months ago, but thought it’s not a huge investment, it’s worth a shot. I’m glad I took the chance. Three months later, I’ve lost the 20 lbs I needed to lose.”

User Tamarian S. says:

“Great for reducing food intake.”

User karrington kenedy says:

“After the second bottle I started seeing results.”

User Morgan says:

“Started seeing results within a week!”

User Karen Finn says:

“If you love standing by the bathroom this stuff is great. I could not leave my house or even do housework because anything strenuous would cause my bowels to become loose. It was a horrible two days! I threw them away on the third day.”

Lipozene: Packages, Prices & Where To Buy It

where to buy lipozene

This supplement only comes in one specific container size, which includes a total of 60 capsules. When the user prefers the recommended maximum dosage of the product, they will require more than a single bottle of the product each month.

The brand offers a two-for-one deal. Customers can buy a single bottle of the Lipozene supplement for $29.95, and they will receive a second bottle of the product for free. At the time of writing, the company is also providing an additional bottle of MetaboUP PLUS along with this particular promotion.

Money Back Guarantee & Refund Policy

A 30-day money-back guarantee is offered with the purchase of this supplement. This allows the customer to use the product for a one-month period in order to see if the product has the potential for them and may help them lose weight faster. If the customer is not completely satisfied with the results they achieve during this one-month period, they can make use of the 30-day trial offer and request a refund from the manufacturer of the supplement.

It should be noted that a full refund will not be provided to the customer if they do decide to request a refund on their purchase. The manufacturer will deduct a fee for shipping and administration of the refund from the total amount that the customer should be refunded.

Lipozene Pros & Cons

Pros

  • The product claims to help the user lose weight without the need to implement any significant changes in their current lifestyle.
  • Lipozene focuses their entire formula on the potential weight loss and health benefits that a single active ingredient may deliver to the user. This helps to minimize the risk that the user may experience side-effects or interactions, and also makes it easier for the user to determine the safety of the product for them.
  • Several scientific studies have been previously conducted on the use of the main ingredient found in this supplement. Most of these studies had positive findings to report – not only related to weight in particular, but also to metabolism and other potential health advantages.
  • The product has been formulated to help reduce body fat percentage specifically – many competing products have been proven only to help reduce body weight through a loss of water weight.

Cons

  • Some of the claims made by the product are unrealistic. The product claims that no change in lifestyle or exercise is needed to lose weight with the supplement, but when a user is not currently participating in an adequate amount of exercise, the supplement will not work for them. This makes these claims misleading.
  • Lipozene claims to be the number one rated weight loss supplement in all of the United States, but have no proof to back up this claim. In fact, we found that the reviews on their product listings at third-party marketplaces (Amazon.com) were much lower rated than a lot of the competing weight loss supplements.

Lipozene Review: Final Verdict

Lipozene Review: Final Verdict

Lipozene is a dietary supplement that is promoted as the perfect option for losing weight among individuals who find that their current weight loss plan is not offering the results they desire. The supplement is available at various locations, including the world’s largest online marketplace.

The opinions from previous customers are mixed, but in some locations are geared more toward the negative side. This makes it essential for a potential user first to take a good look at the product, including research that supports its usefulness and safety, before deciding to buy – all of which we discussed in this review.
