Welcome to The Diet Awareness InstituteDiet and weight loss are crucial elements to healthier and longer lives. There are many fundamentals involved in dieting and achieving weight loss which include exercise and instituting proper eating habits. While there is an abundance of information available online, so much of it is contradictory or in raw forms as to make due diligence difficult for the common person. DietAwarenessInstitute.org operates on corporate grants or within the corporate budget of one or more companies who are interested in progressing clear and concise information on dieting, diet and exercise, and /or supplements available for diet and weight loss and promote the buying process in its entirety. |

The DAI RankRated #1 by the Diet Awareness Institute The ProductMetaboSpeed The Price$39.99 |
The ClaimsA metabolism booster with extraordinary results! MetaboSpeed is a unique diet pill blending ingredients clinically designed to reduce weight by boosting the metabolism, while at the same time reducing hunger. The increased metabolic rate will burn energy more rapidly but without the cravings for food that usually accompany energy consumption. This boost to the metabolism promotes a more active healthier lifestyle while trimming down the weight. More and more celebrities have been turned on by the amazing results of MetaboSpeed. Celebrities are always watching their weight and if they’re not, then the cameras certainly are! They need to keep in the best shape and are always on the go. The high quality results of this metabolism booster have gotten the attention of those in the know, and celebrities have taken the hint. Guarana Extract is used in this product to stimulate the nervous system and increase metabolism. Bitter Orange Extract also found in this product, contains synephrine, a drug comparable to ephedrine without the negative side effects. The DirectionsAdults take one tablet daily, preferably in the morning before a meal, or as recommended by a physician. Dose may be increased to two (2) tablets per day after a two-week period.

The DAI Rank#2 The ProductAdipex-P® The PriceApproximately $150.00 if purchased online. |
|
The ClaimsAdipex P® is a powerful medication that must be prescribed by a physician. It is designed to be used in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise. It is an amphetamine based stimulant which unfortunately has become a popular recreational drug. Most legitimate prescription websites have stopped making this product available through online consultations due to the abuse factor. The DirectionsThe prescribing physician needs to include specific dosage information based on the patient’s medical history. DAI’s Bottom LineThis is an extremely popular and effective medication, but it is only available through a licensed physician. If you are considering an amphetamine based weight loss pill, DAI strongly urges you to speak with your physician first. There are too many horror stories from visitors to this site who thought they had purchased Adipex, but instead received a package from a foreign country 2 months later. It’s a risky proposal to begin taking Adipex without first consulting your primary care practitioner. |

The DAI Rank#3 The ProductCertiphene™ The Price1 Month Supply- $59 |
|
The ClaimsCertiphene claims to control appetite while boosting your metabolism by combining Hoodia Gordonii with Chromium Picolinate. They do not make any claims that their product contains real South African Hoodia, which may be an indication that they are using less effective. The DirectionsTake one (1) capsule each morning and one (1) capsule each evening (preferably with meals) as a dietary supplement. Do not exceed four (4) capsules daily. DAI’s Bottom LineAccording to their website, Certiphene combines two well known weight loss ingredients… but that’s pretty much all we know. There’s no disclosure of any other ingredients which is pretty dangerous for those of us with allergies. You have to search the website for any extra information on their product. The only place to find their phone number is if you locate the tiny text link that brings you to an image of their label. According to the supplement facts, Certiphene only contains about 120mg of Hoodia which is not enough to be effective as an appetite suppressant. As mentioned above, they do not claim to be using South African Hoodia, which probably explains why this website has no CITES certificate, which is another DAI red flag. |
|
The DAI Rank#4 The ProductLipo6® The Price$44.95 for a one month supply |
|
The ClaimsLIPO-6 by Nutrex® is a product that promotes fat-burning, healthy weight loss, appetite suppression, an increase in energy, and increases metabolism. This product uses liquid capsules to quickly deliver strong thermogenic ingredients throughout your entire body. Other positive effects of this product include muscle enhancement and a leaner midsection. The DirectionsTake 2 liqui-Caps 30 minutes before breakfast and 2 more liqui-caps in the afternoon. Start off with only 2 liqui-caps on your first two days ( 1 in the morning and 1 in the afternoon) and increase dosage by 1 liqui-cap every two days until maximum dosage of 4 liqui- caps per day is reached. DO NOT EXCEED 4 LIQUI-CAPS PER DAY. Do not take within 6 hours of sleep. DAI’s Bottom LineThis product claims to aid in weight loss, however when you look at the before and after success pictures, this is clearly a product that is designed for body-builders. To my knowledge, most body builders do not need to lose a whole lot of fat. The ingredients are not what we’re accustomed to seeing in a weight loss supplement and that seems to be confirmed when we read their testimonials. Most satisfied customers seem to be happy with the energy the supplement provides. We also must make mention of the fact that this supplement contains Yohimbe which is commonly found in male sexual enhancement supplements. People with blood pressure issues would be wise to steer clear of this product and to their credit, the makers of Lipo6 do make that disclaimer on their label. If you’re getting ready to begin a career in the competitive world of body-building, then we recommend that you check out this product, however, if you’re looking to lose weight, there are many more effective products that have been manufactured with your needs in mind. |

The DAI Rank#5 The ProductAlli™ - Manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline ( USA) The Price$59.99/ 1month supply |
|
The ClaimsAlli™ is the only FDA approved over-the-counter weight loss product. It works by blocking the body’s absorption of fat eaten on a daily basis. This weight loss program provides their customers with detailed and specific online help to satisfy their customer’s needs. This product only targets your digestive system, so it will not have an effect on your heart or brain. With Alli™, you could lose 10-15 lbs, so why not give Alli™ a try? The DirectionsThe recommended dose of Alli™is 1 capsule 3 times a day with meals containing fat. Additionally, to ensure adequate vitamin absorption, those taking Alli™ should also take a multivitamin once a day, at bedtime, because Alli™ may reduce the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins (vitamins A, D, E, K, and beta-carotene). DAI’s Bottom LineTime for a quick personal story from one of DAI’s finest reviewer’s files: |
|
The DAI Rank#6 The ProductThermocerin™ The Price1 Month Supply- $59 |
|
The ClaimsThermocerin gets it’s name from Thermogenisis. This is the process of the body in which it produces heat or energy. This product claims to help burn fat quickly by altering the body’s metabolism rate with ingredients such as White & Green Tea, Capsaicin, Yohimbe and Caffeine. The DirectionsOne Capsule after meals. Do not exceed three daily. DAI’s Bottom LineI realize that we’re here to review these Weight Loss Supplement sites so you don’t have to… but sometimes you really need to see these things for yourself. Thermocerin and Phenocerin are using the same woman’s Before and After pictures for their product. Well, maybe not… maybe they’re really identical twin sisters who both lost incredible amounts of weight… Stuff like this makes you want to stop reviewing the product. The proprietary blend contains a grand total of 255mg. When you figure that 255mg is made up of 6 ingredients, you’re certainly not getting a whole lot of anything from them. Stock photos of doctors, magazine covers, and “customers” make this a site (and product) to avoid. |

The DAI Rank#7 The ProductProactol™ The Price1 Month Supply - $89.95 |
The ClaimsProactol claims to be a 100% natural daily supplement with no known side effects. It also boasts that you can eat what you want, and the supplement will take care of absorbing up to 28% of your fat intake. It also claims to act as an appetite suppressant. Proactol’s website also states that Proactol users have experienced greater joint flexibility, lower cholesterol, and higher energy levels. The DirectionsTake 2-3 Proactol tablets after each meal DAI’s Bottom LineThe manufacturers of Proactol recommend taking three or four pills after each meal, undertaking a full Proactol course could become tedious. It is also unrealistic that Proactol claims you can ignore a healthy diet and exercise while taking these pills considering Proactol does not seem to contain any unique proprietary ingredients that set it apart from other weight loss supplements. However Proactol does offer a 100% money back guarantee plus other bonuses such as a free toning belt worth $79.99, online community support, free membership to a health and fitness program, effective weight loss e-book, and must have low fat recipes. It is skeptical that this company would offer bonuses such as a toning belt, a free membership to a fitness program, and recipes low in fat considering the product claims healthy dieting and exercise is not necessary for weight loss while on this product. |

The DAI Rank#8 The ProductMiracle Burn® The Price$44.99 for a one month supply |
|
The ClaimsMiracle Burn® is a highly recognized diet supplement on the market and is the only weight loss product which contains the popular ingredients Advantra Z and Hoodia. Miracle burn® claims to jump start your metabolism, suppress your appetite, stimulate your body’s natural fat-burning ability, and increase energy levels. The DirectionsMost customers will take 2 capsules when they wake up on an empty stomach and have breakfast an hour or two afterwards. Later in the afternoon, they will take the last capsule and then have lunch an hour or two afterwards. DAI’s Bottom LineThe product contains Advantra Z and Hoodia, but the supplement facts panel is not disclosed on the products website, so there’s no way to know how much is included. Their website refers to the “proven” effectiveness of certain ingredients, but no clinical results are included. Some of the ingredient facts contain statements that are not exactly well-established. The website contains many customer testimonials and before and after pictures, but a quick check online shows many people have serious complaints with poor customer service. |
|
The DAI Rank#9 The ProductLipozene® by the Obesity Research Institute The Price$29.95 for a bottle that when taken as directed for “optimum results”, will only last 10 days. |
|
The Claims12 Clinical Studies have lead the Obesity Research Institute to claim that using Lipozene® will “reduce body fat” where “78% of each pound lost is pure body fat.” According to the pictures on the website, the product contains 1500 mg. The only problem is that we have no way of knowing what those 1500 mg are, there are no supplement facts to be found. The DirectionsEach bottle of Lipozene® contains 60 capsules, however, they recommend that for “optimum results” you should take the “daily maximum dosage of 6 capsules per day.” Lipozene Customer TestimonialDear Diet Awareness Institute, DAI’s Bottom LineLipozene® is manufactured by the Obesity Research Institute, LLC and is advertised online as well on the television. The supplement facts have not been provided online, so all you know is that it contains an unknown amount of Glucomannan. When ingested, glucomannan expands and takes on a jelly form to make your stomach feel full. One warning that has been seen elsewhere is that since it expands, glucommannan might prevent medications or other essential nutrients from being absorbed by the body. We find it alarming that the cleverly named Obesity Research Institute has provided almost no information regarding their product. None of the information from their 12 clinical studies has been referenced, and there are no supplement facts to be found on the site. $30.00 for a 10 day supply is a steep price for a product so mired in uncertainty. |
|
The DAI Rank#10 The ProductOrovo The Price$80.00 for a one month supply. |
|
The ClaimsOrovo is a multi-vitamin supplement that contains 10 highly concentrated "SuperFoods" as defined by Dr. Nicholas Perricone. According to Orovo, LLC, this product was created as a result of an experiment. A dermatologist appearing on a popular daytime talk show recommended 10 different foods that if taken on a daily basis would allow you to look 10 years younger in 10 days! The wife of Orovo’s CEO happened to be watching the show, and decided to take on the 10 day challenge. As a result, instead of looking 10 years younger, she actually lost 10 lbs. The DirectionsOrovo.com does not seem to have a section on the website that lays out the suggested dosage. Our reviewer was unable to call Orovo for the information because the website does not have a phone number. DAI’s Bottom LineWhile this supplement has some of the ingredients you would expect to see in a weight-loss product, it simply is hard to take at face value that it can live up to its outrageous claims. It promises to help you lose weight, clear up acne, reduce wrinkles, detoxify your system and improve overall health. Did they forget anything? The days of the cure-all tonics sold by handcart peddlers are apparently alive and well in Orem, Utah. We have seen much more effective formulas sold for much less than Orovo’s $80.00 price tag. As always, be very careful when you order from companies that do not put their phone numbers on the website. If they’re hiding from you, it probably has something to do with the product they just sold. |

• Eat frequently and eat slowly. A safe and healthy way to lose weight is to eat smaller meals and to eat frequently throughout the day. This keeps your body’s metabolism working. Eating slowly gives our bodies time to tell us that they are full before we’ve eaten more than we need. • Eat more raw fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Eating unprocessed foods, fruits, vegetables and whole grains is best for your metabolism and will help aid in weight loss. Processed food contains toxins that are dangerous for our bodies and compromise the productivity of our digestive systems. • Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and nicotine. A detox will be wasted flushing these toxins from the body, instead of the harmful ones that have been built-up in your body over the years. • A consistent exercise program. Cardiovascular exercises 3 times a week for 30-60 minutes help increase the metabolism and your digestive system.
