Theraslim Review

What You Should Know

Theraslim is a diet supplement that claims to neutralize starch so that the calories in starchy foods are passed through the digestive system instead of getting absorbed into the body as fat. The specific complex carbohydrates that this product supposedly works on include rice, paste, bread and potatoes. The theory is that most dieters have difficulty giving up these foods when they are trying to lose weight, and when they do, they are also giving up important nutrients like dietary fiber and B-vitamins. By taking two Theraslim capsules before every meal, dieters are able to enjoy these complex carbohydrate foods as part of a balanced diet without worrying about the extra calories that these foods contain.

The company that makes Theraslim is ProThera. ProThera is a nutraceutical operation that provides a variety of products for distribution through health care professionals only. If you are interested in using Theraslim as part of your diet program, you will have to contact your doctor or dietician for purchase. Because the product is not available to the general public, we were unable to find information about pricing on the company website.

List of Ingredients

According to the ProThera website, the two active ingredients in Theraslim include phase 2 white kidney bean dried extract and fennel seed powder. Other ingredients are Vcaps vegetarian capsule, water, silicon dioxide, and magnesium stearate.

Product Features

White kidney bean extract is used in other diet products as a carbohydrate blocker. Although fennel is touted as a healthy substance that can be used to treat digestive disorders like indigestion, we were unable to find any compelling evidence to suggest it is effective in a diet product. Known appetite suppressants like Hoodia Gordonii or fat burners like Advantra-Z are conspicuously absent from the ingredient list.

The website for Theraslim states that ample scientific research, including 14 clinical studies, have proven the effectiveness of white kidney bean extract in reducing caloric intake from complex carbohydrates. While this may be true, there is also sufficient evidence to show that a proven formula containing an appetite suppressant and fat burner, used in conjunction with a healthy diet and daily exercise, is that best combination for a successful weight loss plan.

Advantages

  • There are clinical studies to back up the use of white kidney bean extract to neutralize carbohydrates.
  • No stimulants are found in the formula for Theraslim.

Disadvantages

  • We were unable to find information about cost and return policies on the manufacturer’s website.
  • Does not contain an appetite suppressant or a fat burner in the formula.
  • Theraslim can only be obtained from a doctor or dietician’s office.

Conclusion

While some dieters may see some positive effects with the Theraslim product, the formula is far from complete when it comes to offering maximum weight loss benefits. We suggest dieters look for proven appetite suppressants and fat burners in their formulas to reap the greatest reward from their diet products. Also, Theraslim is a fairly serious product, and can only be obtained from a medical professional.

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).
