Talk:TrimSpa

I have added the advert tag to this article. In my opinion a lot of the article needs to be either deleted, supported by sources (WP:V), or edited to be more neutral (WP:NPOV). --CygnusPius 16:52, 2 May 2006 (UTC)


 * I made the article more neutral and added a table for Nutritional Facts. However, it still needs more work. The table I added needs either a border or a background to differentiate it from the article. Also, the article could still be more NPOV but I think i edited it enough so that I can remove the tag.

I read or heard that Trimspa contains a legal anphedamine. Does it cause loss of sleep?


 * I've never taken Trimspa so I don't know. If you read it and can provide sources, I'd add it to the article. If you've heard it, it's probably just a rumor. Brian Z (talk) 20:36, 2 October 2006 (UTC)


 * I actually do take it (though after reading this article it doesn't seem like it will be doing much for me). I can tell you from  my own experience that for me, after several weeks of taking it, it doesn't affect my getting to sleep.  However, I've always had restless sleep, and whether or not the supplement adds to that, I couldn't tell you.  I'm sure it doesn't help. ^^; But it may not be bad at all for others. --Chacharu 18:03, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Whether it killed her or not, that "well-expected death" language needs to change. 68.252.206.187 22:25, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Green Tea
Would however inserted the “thermogenic component” is green tea extract which contains caffeine, a diuretic that can contribute to weight loss through water loss (dehydration) - please provide a source for this information? Caffeine is a very mild diuretic and any weight lost via water loss by caffeine would be negligable. This whole sentences reads like original research and needs to be sourced with a reliable source. 74.13.130.2 19:16, 10 March 2007 (UTC)


 * This absolutely is original research, or ratehr a poor, subjective, uninformed interpretation of the ingredients. "Thermogenesis" is a 2-part dietary strategy that involved the use of A) an appetite suppresant and B) a compund that stimulates metabolism. The use of the 2 compounds in unicen is supposed to help burn fat, hence thermogenesis. The 2 compounds in the original formulation were ephedra and caffeine. the combination has since been shown to induce pathological cardiovascular effects in various studies, resulting in the broad outlawing of unregulated ephedra in dietary supplements. HOODIA GORDONII has since replaced ephedra as the appetite suppresant in the formula, and there is much that still needs to be learned about this new ingredient.


 * One other important reason why the quoted statement is wrong is that loss of water weight is not considered effective weight loss in any diet. This is the reason why all diets state that a healthy weight loss plan should aim for a loss of ~2-3 pounds per week, if that. Wrestlers perfected techniques of losing significant water weight in very short periods (jogging in sweats or wrapped in saran wrap, spitting for as long as possible, taking diuretics), but even they admit these practices are unhealthy and no one would call them "dieting." similarly, no one is going to claim a diuretic effect a significant part of a diet plan, otherwise the "red bull and coffee diet" would be huge. -Shaggorama 06:40, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
