The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention state that for those who are overweight, a 5 to 10 percent reduction in body weight can positively affect your blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar. A desire for quick weight loss might lead some individuals to try supplements. Quick Trim is a group of weight loss products promoted by Kim and Chloe Kardashian which is claimed to be able to activate fat loss and give you a "bikini body" quickly.
Quick Trim Fast Cleanse
The Quick Trim Fast Cleanse product is a lemon flavored blend that the manufacturers claim will "jump-start" your weight loss endeavor by detoxifying your body. A variety of plant sources such as lemon, blueberry, elderberry, raspberry, bilberry, pomegranate, aloe vera, chlorella, cranberry, barley grass, bean sprouts, coconut, Japanese sea weed, licorice root, acerola berry, astragalus root, eleuthero root and jasmine tea are represented in this blend. The 120ml container provides eight servings, each containing 20 percent of your recommended dietary fiber intake. The fiber content comes from soybean and oat fiber as well as Fibersol-2, a soluble fiber derived from corn that cannot be digested. This high-fiber supplement may be effective in supporting weight loss, as per "Nutrition Review," which states that one of the benefits of dietary fiber supplementation is enhanced weight loss.
Quick Trim Burn and Cleanse
Two tablets between breakfast and lunch with 8 oz. of water, and again between lunch and dinner is the directive for using this product, which the makers attest will mobilize your metabolism. You will burn calories during the day and detox and cleanse in the night, they claim. A Thermogenic Complex, a Fat-loss Activator and a Detox Cleansing Complex are combined to form the Burn and Cleanse tablets. The Thermogenic Complex contains 200mg of caffeine, the Fat-loss Activator has green tea leaf extract and raspberry ketones, and the Detox Cleansing Complex has black walnut hull, grapefruit seed extract, pumpkin seeds, yellow dock and false unicorn roots and hyssop. In addition, the product contains 200mcg of chromium, which the National Institute of Health's Office of Dietary Supplements indicates plays an integral role in fat metabolism. An article in "American Journal of Clinical Nutrition" reported in 1989 that caffeine promotes thermogenesis, a heat producing process that involves fat burning. Green tea extract has been scientifically shown to have fat burning properties according to another study published in the "American Journal of Clinical Nutrition."
Quick Trim Extreme Burn
The Extreme Burn product contains some of the proven ingredients found in the Burn and Cleanse such as caffeine, chromium and green tea extract. Other ingredients include raspberry ketones, vitamin C and gymnema sylvestre extract.
Consideration
Some of the Quick Trim ingredients have scientific support for their use in weight loss. The Extreme Burn and Fast Cleanse labels found on the company website do not provide any direction for use, so it is unclear how much of the product you will need to take to get the weight loss effect the company claims. There are eight servings in the Fast Cleanse bottle, so no more than an eight-day supply if you use one serving per day. Extreme Burn has 120 tablets, with two tablets per serving, but how long this will last is unclear, without knowing how may servings per day is required. Available online, the Quick Trim Fast Start kit combines Fast Cleanse and Extreme Burn for $39.90 as of January 2011, and the Starter kit gives you Burn and Cleanse and Extreme Burn together for $55.90, all backed by a 30-day full money back guarantee. The site does not provide any dietary guidelines or exercise recommendations. Talk to your doctor before you embark on a weight loss plan and be guided by medical advice in your decisions.
