Overview

Many dieters know the frustration of “yo-yo” dieting: losing weight and gaining it back, over and over again. This sort of up-and-down has led many dieters to take further action in their pursuit of weight loss including utilizing diet supplements. Trim Slim is one of the many products available to dieters and its potential to offer them true assistance will be discussed in the following review.

Ingredients at a Glance

Trim Slim contains quite an extensive ingredient list. It includes substances such as caffeine, bitter orange, hoodia gordonii and glucomannan.

Ingredients in Focus

Caffeine is a stimulant which has been known to increase fat burning potential while posing some negative side effects for users’ central nervous systems. Similarly, bitter orange contains the fat-burning stimulant known as synephrine, though in moderate doses it has proven very effective for weight loss. The ingredient is best used alone however, and not mixed with caffeine as in this formula. Both of these substances should be avoided by pregnant and lactating women as well as by people who utilize certain medications. Combining both in one supplement seems unnecessary.

Hoodia is a promising new ingredient which may be able to offer potent appetite suppression. However, dieters must be sure to verify that the hoodia gordonii they are purchasing is pure and authentic. Trim Slim seems to come with no such certification. Glucomannan is a dietary fiber which may also provide some appetite suppression.

Positives

•    May increase fat burning potential

•    May offer appetite suppression

Negatives

•    Multiple stimulants combined, including caffeine

•    No hoodia certification posted

•    Free trial not offered

•    Satisfaction guarantee does not appear to be mentioned

Final Thoughts

There are a million ways to spend your money. If your desire is to lose weight, there are countless products and programs aiming to be the object of your spending. While Trim Slim seeks to provide the two most important weight loss benefits (fat burning and appetite control), it does so with multiple stimulants and seemingly uncertified hoodia. As such, you may want to consider finding a different product to compliment your routines of daily exercise and healthy eating. Lastly, do not forget to drink large amounts of water to keep your body hydrated and free from toxins.

Overview

Slim and Trim is a weight loss system that focuses solely on nutrition—while exercise may be expected of class members it is not required. Rather this plan is designed to teach dieters how to eat well without completely depriving themselves of nutrition. Through swapping recipes, learning about the potential pitfalls of fat and sugar, and creating meals with typical food, students of the Slim and Trim method are supposed to reach an ideal weight at a pace that is both steady and safe.

Program at a Glance

Classes offered by Slim and Trim focus on helping clients learn the basics of healthy nutrition and balanced eating.

Program in Focus

Since Slim and Trim tries to avoid restriction, students are allowed to eat certain foods in unlimited amounts—these foods are not listed upfront and are likely discussed in classes. And while fat and sugar are frowned on, this is not a fat or sugar free plan. Many of the recipes posted on the Slim and Trim site are made with chicken, fish, and low-fat ingredients. Each week the official site features a new recipe for members to try. The information on the Slim and Trim site is limited, providing only a brief overview of the program and contact information.

Positives

•    Instructs dieters about the importance of good nutrition

Negatives

•    Does not emphasize physical fitness

•    Very little information provided upfront

•    Similar to hundreds of other programs currently available

Final Thoughts

Programs like Slim and Trim seem to be a dime a dozen anymore, the guidance they provide being general and simple. If you are looking for more personalized weight loss program you may need to meet with a nutritionist or dietician—if you want the kind of advice given by Slim and Trim you can probably find it with a trip to your local library. Don’t think you need a formal program in order to start losing weight; you can begin improving your weight and health today by making better food choices and staying physically active.
