The FTC recently fined four well-known, heavily advertised weight loss supplement manufacturers (including the makers of TrimSpa) $25 million, because they had no scientific support for their fat-burning claims. Since those fines were levied, millions of consumers have gone to the Internet, searching for alternatives to TrimSpa and other brands, previously considered effective and safe.
A common phrase used in Google searches to find effective weight loss product alternatives is “weight loss supplements that work.” And the most common responses popping up on their computer screens predominantly feature four words: “HCA”, “ChromeMate”, “diet” and “exercise”.
HCA (hydroxycitic acid) and ChromeMate (a niacin-bound, highly absorbable chromium) are the only two active ingredients that have been extensively tested by legitimate scientific institutions and found to work.
Harvard, Creighton, UC-Berkeley and others have found, using double blind placebo tests, that these HCA and ChromeMate actually have a measurable impact on weight loss. These research results have been highlighted in recently published books and articles from leading health experts, like Dr. Nicholas Perricone, Jean Carper and Dr. Harry Preuss. But even these two ingredients, as good as they are, require that the overweight or obese person put some effort into improving their health, beyond popping a pill three times a day.
That’s why the two other most commonly displayed words in your Google search for weight loss remedies will be “diet”, and “exercise”. Because even the best, most scientifically-proven and effective weight loss supplement can only go so far in helping you shed your pounds.
You still need to put down the Doritos Ranch-style chips, turn off the TV, and move around. Diet and exercise, as unappetizing as they sound, are necessary for weight loss. Supplements, such as the right combination of HCA and ChromeMate, in the purity and dosage levels used in clinical studies, will accelerate the impact of diet and exercise (up to 3 times the results of diet and exercise alone).
So if you’re looking for weight loss supplements that work, find a reputable supplier that uses HCA and ChromeMate. But remember, you still need to cut back on Doritos and start to move about.
