Metamucil Review

What You Should Know

Would be dieters are always looking for the elusive magic pill that will allow them to eat everything they want and still lose weight. Unfortunately to date, no such pill exists. There is no shortage on commercials and print ads that promote adding fiber to your diet. One doesn’t have to be a rocket scientist to see that a healthy digestive system will be more efficient at eliminating excess waste. According to the manufacturers, diet products that contain high amounts of fiber can help increase satiety making you feel fuller. The best way to increase your fiber is to eat foods that have a high fiber content. Sounds simple enough right? Unfortunately research suggests that most people’s diets are deficient in fiber. This is where a supplemental form of fiber such as Metamucil may be useful. Metamucil is sold as a dietary supplement and as a laxative not a weight loss product, however many consumers have begun to use Metamucil as an aid to weight loss.

Ingredients

Metamucil comes in tablets, wafers and in powder form. The main ingredient is fiber.

Product Features

The whole concept of taking Metamucil as a weight loss aid is that when taken, it gels in the stomach and helps dieters to take in less food which results in weight loss.

Advantages

  • Metamucil is comes in many forms to fit various lifestyles.
  • Metamucil may be act as an aid to digestion and assist with constipation problems.

Disadvantages

  • Taking excessive amounts of Metamucil can result in a vitamin deficiency.
  • People have been known to develop a dependency on laxatives and stool softeners.
  • There is no evidence that Metamucil has an effect on reducing body fat or that taking Metamucil will increase the rate at which the body metabolizes fat.

Conclusion

Would be dieters looking for a “quick fix” and who do not want the commitment of eating a healthy diet rich in fiber will likely turn to such products as Metamucil for weight loss. However it should be noted that there is insufficient evidence to prove that Metamucil when used as a dietary supplement will work as an effective weight loss aid. Nor does the evidence suggest that Metamucil will increase the rate at which the body metabolizes body fat. Metamucil may act as an aid to better digestion and assist with constipation. Taking excessive amounts of Metamucil can result in a vitamin deficiency in the body and many consumers have developed a dependency on laxatives and stool softeners. The product is available for sale at many online retail sites which carry vitamins and supplements. Many local grocery and drugstores may carry Metamucil as well. Metamucil comes in many forms, is reasonably priced and affordable for the most consumers.

Top Choice for 2009: Avesil

Avesil is clearly the most promising weight control formula we know of on the market. After looking at hundreds of different purported weight loss supplements, Avesil was the most rigorously researched one that we could find. The foundation behind the Avesil formula was an original scientific research study that incorporated an incredible 284 previously published peer-reviewed clinical studies, many conducted in university research labs. All of the product claims made about Avesil are substantiated by this large volume of research.

Unlike many fad weight loss ingredients (hoodia, acai berry, etc.) which are at best supported by folklore and at worst by pop culture, Avesil is totally rooted in disciplined scientific study. In fact, two research trials conducted on human subjects, later published in highly respected scientific journals, concluded that the primary ingredients in Avesil resulted in an average weight loss of more than 3 times that of a healthy diet and exercise alone.

Customers will notice that the claims made about Avesil are quite reasonable and not the least far-fetched. Simply put, Avesil is a safe, healthy way to promote a significant increase in weight loss when taken in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise. In today's market there is a shamefully high number of consumers who have been deceived by outrageous "no work" promises, manufactured customer testimonials and bogus before/after pictures used by so many marketers of weight loss supplements. Avesil promises to deliver healthy, reasonable, and significant weight loss benefits - all offered through the process of a risk-free trial, leaving customers with very little to lose (other than weight).
