About
Us
ConsumerDietRatings.org, a subsidiary of Applied Nutritional
Research, LLC, was created to research, rate, and review
the various weight-loss and diet products available
to consumers today. There are dozens if not hundreds of sites which pitch
different diet products, with each site seemingly contradicting the next. So, to help clear-up
the confusion, we created a simple summary of our top 5 recommendations.
We ranked our recommendations
based on consumer and expert ratings, which take into account overall weight
loss, product safety, speed of results and product value.
Based on measures, our final recommendations may
help you get better results faster from the time you invest in a smart, healthy eating
and exercise program.
The 5 Highest-Rated Weight Loss Products
|
Maqui-6
Amazon Rainforest Weight-Loss
Formula is one
of the strongest weight-loss products we've ever studied, with
test subjects safely losing
an average of 25 pounds in 30 days without additional diet or
exercise.
The
Maqui-6 Formula
contains the highest amount of Maqui Berry extract of any product on the
market today (over 1,000 mg per daily serving). New clinical research shows Maqui Berries, which are native to the remote Chilean
Rainforests, have an antioxidant ORAC rating
of 8,687 -- the highest of
any food, and 12.6 times the antioxidant levels of Acai
Berries.

|
Further, new research from
South America shows the Maqui Berry extract found in Maqui-6 has powerful
fat-fighting properties, speeding the metabolism, reducing appetite, and safely
reducing fat cell size and number.
As noted, test subjects not only lost an average
of 25 pounds in
just 30 days, subjects also dropped an average of one-half
their bodyfat percentage within 8 weeks of
use.
The Maqui-6 formula also
contains rich amounts of 5 additional "superfood" extracts: Acai Berry, Goji Berry,
Green Tea, Resveratrol, and Pomegranate.
After compiling ratings data from 30,487
customers, as well as the analyses of our panel of university research scientists,
Maqui-6 is 2010's #1 rated weight-loss product -- and also the #1 product for
antioxidant and health benefits.

Phosphacore Extra-Strength Abdominal-Fat
Oxidizer is also soaring up the charts for its
clinically proven belly fat-fighting benefits.
The active ingredient in
Phosphacore is an extract from the plant species Carthamus tinctorius, a unique plant native to
North-Central Africa. According to new 28-day study from scientists at the
Department of Public Health at Sweden's Uppsala University, subjects taking this
nutrient lost an average 600% more abdominal fat than people taking a placebo --
this
amounted to an average abdominal fat loss of nearly 1 inch every 28
days.
|
|
|
In another new study published in
The American Journal of Clinical
Nutrition, scientists from the University of Wisconsin found that
people taking this nutrient lost on average 900% more total bodyfat per week
relative to subjects who consumed a placebo. This included excess fat from the
abdominal region, legs, buttocks, and arms.
After compiling ratings data from 22,892
customers, as well as the analyses of our panel of university research scientists,
Phosphacore is 2010's second-rated weight-loss product -- and a
top recommendation for people wanting to lose belly fat
specifically.

Green tea is tea made solely with the leaves of
Camelia sinesis that have undergone minimal oxidation during
processing.
Green tea originates from China. Recently, numerous weight-loss formulas have
hit the market claiming to include the powerful weight-loss benefits of green
tea.
While there's no question green tea offers numerous health benefits, its
weight-loss benefits have been overblown. Research does show drinking over 6 cups
of green tea daily can give a slight boost to the metabolism. But don't expect the
pounds to start melting away.

Green tea can give a slight boost to your
metabolism, resulting in some weight loss when it's used with exercise and a
healthy, balanced diet. The key ingredients for weight loss in green tea are
nutrients called catechins and polyphenols, along with moderate amounts of
caffeine.
Make no mistake, research shows green tea is especially healthful and beneficial
to overall well-being, but it's not a weight-loss miracle cure.
If you want to enjoy the health benefits of green
tea, it's advised you consume natural, organic green tea in liquid form as opposed
to capsules containing green tea extract.
The beverage green tea provides all the healthy
nutrients provided by green tea, while capsules exclude many of these healthful
compounds.

Alli was
our #2 rated diet pill in 2008 and #3 in 2009, but drops to #4 in this year's
ratings, primarily because of its gastrointestinal side effects and overall
value per pound of bodyweight lost.
Research shows Alli may help
people lose weight by helping block the absorption of approximately 25
percent of the dietary fat ingested.
The fat that isn't absorbed is
passed through the bowels, which can result in gastrointestinal
upset.
|
|
|
While an effective weight-control
product, it's important to point out that not all dietary fats are bad; in fact,
the omega-3 fatty acids found in salmon and other cold-water fish have been shown
in scientific literature to increase the metabolism and speed fat oxidation
(burning). Therefore, blocking such fats from absorption is counter-productive to
long-term weight control.
Further, consuming meals with more than 15
grams of fat while using Alli may lead to gastrointestinal upset, gas, and oily
discharge, which is oftentimes too uncomfortable for many
users.
With that said, 86 percent
of consumers are satisfied with Alli, and the product is FDA approved and
clinically tested. You may see good results using Alli, depending on your threshold
for the above-noted side effects.

Moyojava Organic Ethiopian
Coffee is
a rare African coffee with proven fat-fighting benefits. It has just
recently been made available to the North American and European
markets.
Researchers say the secret to this coffee's
mysterious slimming properties is found in the coffee beans used to make this
delicious brew.
The bean is found only in the secluded
mineral-rich Red Mountains of Ethiopia. The rich red soils in which this rare bean
is grown is the same soils which give the Red Sea its mysterious "ruddy
complexion."

|
|
This
coffee has been consumed for centuries among the village people of Africa's ancient
Red Mountains and Great Rift Valley along the Biblical Red Sea. The coffee is
uniquely rich in phytonutrients, antioxidants and one curious compound called
cholorgenic acid.
According to a new study published in
the scientific journal Complementary and Alternative Medicine, this
nutrient caused a 35% reduction in bodyfat.
Organic Ethiopian Coffee is
a hundreds-year-old beverage just now being introduced to the mainstream, and it's
our #5 recommendation for 2010 -- a perfect choice for coffee and tea
drinkers.
