Now that it's January New Year's resolutions are on the rise. The biggest resolution is always weight loss. No matter who we are or what we weigh, January always comes with the idea that we need to resolve to lose weight. There are literally hundreds of supplements, diets and lifestyle changes out there that are said to help people lose weight. Most of those fads quickly die out because they simply don't produce results. Is Lipozene and different? Let's find out. Here is the skinny on Lipozene.

Lipozene is a dietary supplement sold by The Obesity Research Institute. Glucomannan is the active ingredient in Lipozene. Other names for Glucomannan include: Glucomanna, Konjac, Konjac Fiber and Manna. Glucomannan is a natural soluble fiber. It boasts the highest molecular weight and strongest viscosity among any dietary fiber known in science. It is often used as a dietary supplement for those with conditions such as: diabetes, hypoglycemia, hypertension, high cholesterol and constipation. It is supposed to give you a feeling of "being full" therefore making you not want to eat. Side effects are limited but can occur. Side effects include: trouble breathing, tightness in chest or throat, chest pain, rash, hives, itchy or swollen skin, upset stomach, vomiting, diarrhea, flatulence.

In a recent clinical study participants taking Lipozene only lost 3 pounds over an 8 week period. You can lose more weight than that dieting and exercising. With their study proving such an insignificant amount of weight loss the FDA slapped them with some pretty heavy fines. There are currently several lawsuits pending against the company. TV commercials for Lipozene can be seen after 8pm on Comedy Central. How's that for irony? I don't know about you but I'll stick with what's proven to work: good old-fashioned diet and exercise. Plus it'll save you $29.95 plus S&H, which you can use to buy a pair of sneakers, fruits and vegetables.
