Trimspa are the 'new' weight loss pills from Nutramerica. Now, I've never done pills before and the ONLY reason I gave them a try was because of the results before my eys. Anna Nicole Smith. The woman was a balloon last year and now she looks a baywatch chick again. That woman has NO self control so if SHE can lose it - I sure as heck can! Or so I told myself.
My total weight loss to this day is 19lbs (err, 8.6 kg) in 5 weeks. I have not given up carbs, sweets, or anything really - I do eat in moderation and stop when I'm full. Also, zero cravings, increased energy, and desire to exercise (or at the least, get moving!) Also, I LOOK more trim and lean. I really like when I can SEE results, no what I mean. :o)
No jitters, heart palpatations, or anything in Trimspa EF because there is NO ephedrine. Trimspa EF isn't the tastiest but then that problem is solved if you swallow it quickly.
Anywho, It's been a LONG Month and I wish I had someone to review these before I took them. If you are thinking about Trimspa (ANY of them) I would advise you read my review thoroughly.
TRIMSPA EF (Ephedrine Free): FAT BURNER
A month ago I didn't know what the heck the difference was between all these Trimspa Versions dedicated to shedding pounds. I'm still not sure I have any clue - I AM NOT A DOCTOR - but I know what MY body tells me, and it is this . . . . Trimspa EF is the **BEST** Formula for those who want to lose weight quickly. Why? For a multitude of reasons I"ll state now.
Trimspa EF contains ingredients that act as 'natural' appetite suppressants. I can vouch for this personally. I started off taking one a day and within 2-3 days I didn't have the slightest desire to binge. I didn't crave sweets or fats. I felt satisfied and full after eating 'normal' size meals.
The description at (www.trimspa.com) says it's due to key ingredients designed to have such an effect:
Hoodia Gordonii "puts an end to late afternoon hunger pangs, and give you a feeling of fullness long before you have the chance to overeat."
Citrus Naringinine - "Helps in curbing apetite."
Chromium Chelavite - "Controls Carb cravings"
Vanadium - "A naturally occurring appetite suppressant, vanadium can make you push the plate away, before overeating becomes an obstacle to weight loss."
Glucomannan - "Another “anti-hunger” ingredient, this breakthrough dietary fiber assists in weight-loss due to its ability to create a sense of fullness, even when taken in small amounts."
Sodium Carboxymethylcellulose - "Reduces the desire to overeat! Creates a sensation of fullness in the stomach before it passes through the digestive system."
2. Trimspa EF is a FAT BURNER. At least, that's part of it's charm and appeal being advertised. I lost 12 pounds the first 2 weeks on Trimspa EF.
Glucosamine - aside form being an appetite supressant - delays the effect of insulin in the body, sending glucose directly to your hard-working muscles for energy, instead of being transferred and deposited as fat.
Green Tea Extract - An important ingredient long known for its thermogenic properties, green tea contributes to some major fat burning! A tiny compound in green tea, called epigallocatechin gallate, has been shown to significantly reduce food intake and, subsequently, body weight in healthy adults.
Cocoa Extract - The diuretic component of TrimSpa® COMPLETELY EPHEDRA FREE, cocoa extract can help you shed the water weight that can contribute to a bloated feeling and unsightly appearance.
Chromium Chelavite - Also helps the body’s insulin metabolize fat, convert protein into sleek muscle, and turn sugar into energy. It’s 53% more absorbable than chromium picolinate!
Vanadium - It also assists the metabolism in converting carbohydrates into energy.
** This is what the website promises:
"New TrimSpa EF (ephedra free) is formulated to:
Stimulates the breakdown of fat Makes you feel fuller so you eat less, reduce your appetite Speeds up your metabolism to burn more fat Cut Down on Cravings Increase Lean Muscle Break Down Fat and Burn It Off"
I CONCUR!! 100% My body is actually more CURVY and I look LEANER! I've been told so by people I didn't tell I was on a diet and taking trimspa! Also my family (who is not into false-praise) told me I looked leaner and shaply! (Though they also pointed out I was still overweight) - sigh.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR TRIMSPA EF
As a minimum dosage, take one tablet 20 minutes before breakfast, lunch and dinner with an 8 oz glass of water. For maximum effect, and/or maximum weight loss results, take two tablets 20 minutes before breakfast, lunch and dinner with an 8 oz glass of water. Please do not exceed our maximum recommended dose of 6 tablets per day.
Personal Pros and Cons for Trimspa EF
Pros:
A - I took 1 pill in the morning for 2 weeks and lost 12lbs B - My water intake increased from 1 cup/day to 4 quarts/day (Skin cleared up a whopping 75-82% C - Energy Aplenty! D - Completely curbs appetite & all cravings E - Absolutely no jitters, quickened pulse, erratic heartbeats
Cons:
Major issue with me was when I went 'off' Trimspa the first time. That seemed to be when the 'side-effects' reared. While "on" I was great. My first day off I experienced the following:
a - Mood Swings: Ranging from minor to severe at times b - I had really slight cotton mouth while ON TS but when I went of for the recommended 2 days It increased to 'moderate' cotton mouth. c - Sluggish mornings and afternoons. Didn't perk up till mid afternoon. d - If taken after 5pm you WILL have insomnia e - Must take vitamins for nutritional substitute for decreased food intake. f - Not a miracle pill.
To me, Trimspa EF is the best. Just exercise a bit of common sense (i.e. icecream every day won't get you weight loss) and FOLLOW the directions. WAIT the full 20 minutes before eating because it takes that time for the figer in the caps to expand and circulate (or so I imagine). It's cool, you can actually feel yourself getting fuller. It even seemed to inspire me to buy fruits and veggies. Sometimes I swear I could FEEL my muscles getting lean and the fat melting away.

***** This is what Trimspa Fat/Carb Blocker Promises ******
"The fat molecules from your food bond with TrimSpa® Fat Blocker...then get eliminated through your digestive tract as waste material. Fat leaves so fast, your body will give it a standing ovation!"
"TrimSpa Carb Blocker has a synergistic proprietary formula that tunes your metabolic motor while also stabilizing your blood sugar levels. This helps curb cravings and avoids the vicious cycle of wolfing down carbs leading to an even more ravenous appetite and increased cravings!"
Trimspa Fat Blocker require/suggest you take then 1-2 MINUTES Before eating a high fat/carb meal. By 'Fat' they mean ANYTHING with Butter. I took 1 Trimspa Fat Blocker in the morning and 1 Trimspa Carb Blocker in the evening.
My PERSONAL Experience with Trimspa Carb/Fat Blocker Pros: * Sucked Fat right out of the foods I ate. I didn't gain one pound as I munched on ice-cream and pie, oily home cooking, etc.
* I didn't 'crave' but I didn't have that 'full' feeling I had on Trimspa EF so I randomly ate when I was bored or extra fidgety. The plus is that I only seemed drawn to FAT - I ignored carbs. That was due, I'm sure, to the Carb-Blocker.
Cons: * Where to begin . . .
* A, They have no effect on curbing the desire to mindlessly binge as Trimspa EF does.
* No cotton mouth - however, I didn't drink any water. I mean, I had to FORCE down 1-2 cups a day.
* No help in the energy department. Despite the ephedrine and caffeine I lazed around a LOT. I felt kind of antsy and jittery due to the Ephedrine but no irregular heart beating or faintness or anything. I just felt lazy and slightly irritable a lot. Like I wanted to do something but felt to lazy to do it.
* I missed that "fat burning" feeling Trimspa EF gave me. I felt like a lump.
**** THE WORST THING ABOUT TS-FAT/CARB Blocker!!!!
CONSTIPATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you wonder what happens to all the fat/carbs getting soaked up - now you know. It gets soaked up and comes out in your waste, however, there is no fiber or anything to encourage you to move your bowels and for some reason the interference with the digestion results in constipation. I didn't go for 3 days and by the time I broke down and drank 2 quarts of apple juice (which act as a natural diueretic for me) it was TOO LATE.
Think about it - 3 days of fat clumped into your stomach. Let's just say it wasn't a fun or pretty experience for me and I do NOT recommend Trimspa Carb/Fat Blocker for anyone trying to LOSE weight because it doesn't burn fat, increase energy, and unless you simply trying to maintain your weight it is pointless to use them.
The ONLY thing I liked about them really was that, Unlike Trimspa EF which are HORSEPILLS - CARB/FAT blockers are slim, easy to swallow, capsules.

Other Relevant Info:
The first weekend I "Went Off" Trimspa EF my emotions were ALL OVER THE PLACE. I was walking around town in a mindless frenzy of unexpressed emotions and finally I just started sobbing aloud for no real reason. Then I laughed because it was so ludicrous and like something out of a B-movie, then cried again.
The following Monday morning I leaped out of bed at 9:25am and gobbled down 1/2 a tablet. I felt my emotions begin stablilizing almost a.s.a.p. and drank about 6 cups over the span of 2 hours. Hmm. No more slightly buzzed feeling, never experienced any physical reactons, but emotinally . . I have noticed I've been a bit moodier. Maybe it's the caffine? I don't take caffeine so could be just <b>my</b> bodies way of getting introduced to it, and the withrawal from it . . .
I know some people who feel high strung and emotional when they don't get their cup of joe, so I'm hoping this is what that means.
