Lipozene

As kids, I somehow got stuck as the one who stayed up late every weekend night with my sister watching infomercials. How it happened, you’ve got me. But as it turned out, it comes in handy now, because I know a little too much of the history behind most of today’s major diet pills and diet pill scams as it were.

I’ve bought some of the products over the years like the Magic Bullet and more recently the Snuggie. But I’ve never bought an infomercial diet pill including Lipozene. Why? Because infomercial diet pills are virtually guaranteed to be scams.

I mean let’s be real for a moment. “Clinically proven to reduce body fat!” Scientific studies measure cholesterol, blood pressure, weight lost, etc. But nothing specifically targets body fat and body fat alone, and nobody measures the amount of body fat lost. Lipozene on the other hand seems to think that it and it alone can ensure that “78% of each pound lost is PURE BODY FAT.” All of this is pretty bad. But the final straw for me was when Lipozene added “reduce pounds of body fat and weight without a change in lifestyle.” You have to diet and exercise to lose weight! But it’s fair enough to still take a look.

What Are The Ingredients?

Lipozene describes the one active ingredient as a “fiber sponge that makes you feel full, thus reducing calorie intake and adding fiber to your diet.” So who here thinks that fiber burns fat….or rather that fiber specifically targets fat. Not me. Fiber’s good for you, and there are fibers that suppress appetite. But fat burning is something else. What does this mean for Lipozene?

Judging by the description, there is one fiber that Lipozene could be describing. Glucomannan acts as a natural fiber, blowing up in the stomach as it absorbs more water. It fills most of it, making you feel full faster, and if you eat less (and eat healthier while exercising), you could lose weight. Studies show an average of 5.5 pounds in 8 weeks. Lipozene doesn’t specify this partly because it doesn’t sound quite as grand and partly because glucomannan requires at least 1000mg to do anything at all.

Our Final Conclusion

Lipozene is big on hype and weak on facts. But I don’t really have to tell you that. I’ve personally spent hours of my life making fun of products just like this that I see on infomericals, because the announcers are so ridiculous. But ridiculous or not, you’re more likely to buy without thinking late at night.

My suggestion: don’t watch late night infomercials. But if you can’t resist, take notes as you watch. If a product seems really appealing at night, write down the website or name and do a little research in the morning. I can guarantee that products like Lipozene don’t look nearly as good in the harsh light of day.
