Dietrine Carb Blocker Reviewed

I was all ready to sit down and start my review of Dietrine like every other review, but I've decided that, since Dietrine is a different type of weight loss supplement, I'd do a different kind of review.

Instead of eating and behaving normally and recording the results I am going to alter my diet substantially to a very high carb diet. Dietrine is a carb blocker, so I figure that the best way to test its carb blocking effectiveness is to change my diet so that there are a lot of carbs to block. I don't normally eat many carbs (aside from the occasional beer), so in order to get the most from this review I had to really stock up.

My diet consists of:

  • Two beers a day (Miller Genuine Draft)
  • One sandwich a day on whole wheat bread.
  • A roll with dinner.
  • Cereal in the morning.
  • Lots and lots of mashed and roasted potatoes.
I'm not going to go on a high fat diet, but rather a high carb diet to test Dietrine.

My Results

My results were slow to appear. I actually gained 6 pounds the first two weeks, but that's probably because I just went crazy with the carbs- every meal I ate had at least two different sources of simple and complex carbohydrates.

However, I began to lose roughly 5 pounds in the third and fourth week, and I actually lost another 4 after I went off of Dietrine. So, in total, I wound up losing 8 pounds over the course of a month, and that's with an insanely intense carb-heavy diet.

I was actually surprised that I didn't gain more weight, and I was quite happy when I saw Dietrine really do its thing in the latter half of the month. For a few days I was actually getting quite discouraged as I thought that Dietrine wasn't actually going to do anything. Yet, almost as if it knew what I was thinking, it came along and helped me shed the weight I gained and more.

I didn't experience any side effects that I can attribute to Dietrine. If anything, I felt quite good for the entire time that I was on it.

Conclusion

I will admit that losing weight is tricky business, and any advantage that one might obtain is a definite help. However, many people have the wrong perception when it comes to weight loss supplements: in order to lose any weight in the long term you need to make life changes along with taking the supplement.

Dietrine appears to be no different to this rule, but that's a good thing. Dietrine did its job and it did it well, despite my efforts to sabotage them. This is an indication of a good, well-rounded product that meets its expectations and delivers on its promises. In this industry that's definitely a rare occurrence.

Good job Dietrine- you've got my respect.

How Does Hoodia Gordonii Plus Work?

The basic principle behind Hoodia Gordonii is that the less you eat the less weight you'll gain. This is a fitting attitude for an appetite suppressant to have. Hoodia Gordonii has sparked quite the cult following, and many people will even go so far to say that it has even revolutionized the weight loss supplement industry.

Hoodia Gordonii is an herb that is found in Africa, and it has been used for many years by hunters to ward off hunger while on hunting trips or long voyages. This effect can also be applied to individuals trying to lose weight: it simply curbs your hunger, causing you to eat less. Why is this beneficial? Less caloric intake, of course, and that means that there are fewer calories for you to store as fat.

It takes about 5 years for the flowers to appear on the Hoodia Gordonii cactus, and once they have bloomed they can be harvested. There are about 20 different types of Hoodia, though only Hoodia Gordonii is believed to have any appetite suppression qualities. Ironically, scientists suspected Hoodia Gordonii's weight loss qualities in the late 60s, though it wasn't officially "released" until the late 90s as a weight loss supplement.

Hoodia Gordonii Plus rides on the popular recognition of Hoodia Gordonii, though its effectiveness is definitely sufficient. Hoodia Gordonii Plus operates entirely as an appetite suppressant, containing no stimulants or other ingredients. You can bet that popping one of these bad boys will nearly eliminate your hunger pains.

A Word of Caution

Please keep in mind that because Hoodia Gordonii Plus works as well as it does that you may need to actually remind yourself to eat. This isn't a good or bad "sign", but rather an actuality that you may have to deal with. Though the supplement is fooling your brain into thinking that you're not hungry, you may actually be in need of nutrition at certain points during the day.

Your body still needs to receive nutrition, otherwise you may start to see a reduction in your fat stores, which is generally considered a good thing, but along with that comes the degradation of your muscle mass. Under "normal" circumstances, weight loss will not typically attack your muscle formation. However, if your body is starving, your body will actually attack your muscles first.

Do yourself a favor and make sure that you take in enough calories and proteins every day to maintain a healthy state within your body. This will keep you healthy, fit, and able. The other option is becoming sick, weak, and unable to perform simple tasks that you may have been able to do before.

Just play by the rules, per say, and you'll be fine.
