| phunkymamas's Full Review: Nutramerica Trimspa |
I decided to write this review after painfully searching the net for information on this product. There just didn't seem to be much from believable people. Deciding to take a "diet pill" was a major decision for me, as I'm sure it is for a lot of people. I will be 41 in a couple of weeks, and have about 30 /- pounds to lose. I started the South Beach Diet last fall, and lost 9 pounds. I was on it about a month. Then the stress of the holidays, I stopped it. In January, I started going to Curves Workout Center for Women. I go three times a week. After going back on a modified version of the South Beach diet, and working out 3X a week, I wasn't seeing any major results. Being a woman, I would lose 5 pounds, only to gain it back during the week of my menstrual cycle. I also had a hard time with feeling hungry...I would never last on Survivor. But even after NOT giving in to the hunger pains with junk food, I still wasn't loosing weight. This was when I decided that I needed some extra help. I saw the Anna Nicole TV ad and was intrigued. She has a similar body to mine, and she looked great. So that's when I looked into Trimspa EF.
I bought it off the Internet for around $29 plus shipping. I decided to only get one bottle to try, because of a bad experience with Metabolife a few years ago. I have a very sensitive system and decided to modify the dosage until I get accustomed to it. So instead of 1-2 pills, two - three times a day, I'm starting out breaking them in half. The dosage on the bottle says 1-2 pills, 2-3 times as needed. The pills are the size of a larger vitamin, but are not difficult to swallow. The ingredients are (copied from www.weight-loss-diet-supplement.com):
Hoodia Gordonii™ This amazing ingredient is a natural appetite suppressant used for generations by tribal hunters of South Africa to stave off hunger during long hunting expeditions. Now available to the West, “hoodia” can put an end to late afternoon hunger pangs, and give you a feeling of fullness long before you have the chance to overeat.
GlucosamineThis ingredient is so unique and useful, it was even recognized by the U.S. Government on July 16, 2002, when TrimSpaŽ received an exclusive patent for its use! Glucosamine delays the effect of insulin in the body, sending glucose directly to your hard-working muscles for energy, instead of being transferred and deposited as ugly fat!
Green Tea Extract An important ingredient long known for its thermogenic properties, green tea contributes to some major fat burning! A tiny compound in green tea, called epigallocatechin gallate, has been shown to significantly reduce food intake and, subsequently, body weight in healthy adults. Bio flavanoids and polyphenols in green tea also fight harmful free radicals within your body!
Cocoa Extract The diuretic component of TRIMSPAŽ COMPLETELY EPHEDRA FREE, cocoa extract can help you shed the water weight that can contribute to a bloated feeling and unsightly appearance.
Citrus Naringinine This is a powerful citrus extract that aids in weight loss by curbing appetite. A source of soluble fiber, it is an antioxidant that prevents free radical damage.
Chromium Chelavite™ A patented form of chromium, this marvel mineral controls your blood sugar and nasty carbohydrate cravings. It also helps the body’s insulin metabolize fat, convert protein into sleek muscle, and turn sugar into energy. It’s 53% more absorbable than chromium picolinate!
Vanadium A naturally occurring appetite suppressant, vanadium can make you push the plate away, before overeating becomes an obstacle to weight loss. It also assists the metabolism in converting carbohydrates into energy.
GlucomannanAnother “anti-hunger” ingredient, this breakthrough dietary fiber assists in weight-loss due to its ability to create a sense of fullness, even when taken in small amounts.
Sodium Carboxymethylcellulose Reduces the desire to overeat! This hard to pronounce compound forms a nontoxic, water-based gel that creates a sensation of fullness in the stomach before it passes through the digestive system.
Trimspa should definitely be taken only by adults. There is no indication of how long one should take Trimspa. I would assume it would vary from person to person depending on your amount of weight to lose, and need to use a supplement to help with this. I think that it might be easy for your body to build up a resistance to Trimspa once you have been taking it a while. If this happens to me, I might discontinue for a few days, then start back again. I also don't take Trimspa after 6pm. By 11pm, I'm getting tired and sleepy. I've had no problems sleeping at night.
I'm keeping a day to day diary of my Trimspa experience on my website. Here's the link: http://www.wyanne.com/mainpages/trimspa.htm. It might turn out to be a boring read, but for those who were like me, I hope it helps in your decision to try or not try Trimspa.
My first few days have been very good. My appetite has definitely been curved. I've lost a couple of pounds. I am one who tends to snack all day, and this hasn't been a problem. It causes me to feel very thirsty. So I've been drinking water like crazy. This is a good thing, since I've never been able to drink much water on my own. I did notice that this tapered off some after a few days of being on Trimspa. Now, my water consumption is still very good, but maybe not as excessive as the first day. I've had no strange side effects. I feel really good. I'm in a much better mood, and have more energy. I have only felt strange once while on it, when I was working out. I don't know yet if I need to eat a bigger breakfast before my workout or not take the Trimspa before my workout. I will update in a few days about that.
Again, I've started out slow on Trimspa, take 1/2 pills usually 3 times a day. Now, I've increased it to 1 whole pill, three times a day with no problems. I've also eating right and working out 3 times a week. I don't think that you will see good results unless you put in the effort and watch what you eat and exercise. I'll keep you updated and for more details, check out my Trimspa diary at http://www.wyanne.com/mainpages/trimspa.htm
