Today I noticed Bauer Nutrition have just released a new diet patch. They're calling it "The Slim Diet Patch". It not the most imaginative of names, but it's a diet patch and, if it works, it could help you lose weight and get slim, so the name is probably good for the purpose.
Weight loss supplements interest me. It's not something I've mentioned in this blog before, but one of my clients has been paying me to write diet reviews for over 11 years. During that time I have learned a lot about weight loss ingredients. When I first began writing supplement reviews I was surprised to discover how many products don't work and how many lies diet pill manufacturer’s tell to hype up their products. I was also shocked to learn there are manufacturers that are actively marketing products that can make people ill.
I am familiar with Bauer Nutrition and know they are a reputable company, so when I discovered they have produced a diet patch to help people lose weight I became curious. A few other manufacturers have produced similar products but, so far, I've never had to review one that works. Bauer has produced a lot leading weight loss products, though, so there is a chance they could pull it off. Could their Slim Diet Patch work? I thought I'd do some investigating.
The Slim Diet Patch: What You Need to Know
Applying the Patch to the Skin
The patch is simple to use. It's just a case of sticking it to the arm, the thigh, or the back of the shoulder. The skin needs to clean and dry and free from hair so, if you are little sweaty, it may be worth cleaning the skin before you apply the patch. It doesn't matter what time you stick the patch to the chosen area of skin, but it makes sense to choose a time that allows for some consistency because it needs to be replaced every 24 hours.
Who It's For?
If it works, Slim Diet Patch should also be a good option for anyone who finds it hard to remember to take their diet pills at the appointed time, or is unable to do so due to work restrictions. It will also be an excellent choice for people who find it hard to swallow tablets and pills, but it should be a good choice for anyone who is hoping to slim down and get back into shape.
The Claims Made For Slim Diet Patch and How They Hold Up
Bauer claims the patch speeds up weight loss by increasing the metabolism. They say dieters who use it will burn more body and see results within just a few weeks because the patch is more effective than pills and capsules. They also say it provides healthy weight loss because all the ingredients are natural.
The metabolism determines how fast the body burns calories. A faster metabolism burns more calories than a slow metabolism. The reason people gain weight in the first place is because their metabolism has become sluggish. A number of things can cause this, including dietary inadequacies and getting older.
When the metabolism is encouraged to become faster, and the body starts to burn more calories, the amount of calories provided by food can run out. When this happens the body burns its fat. So the patches are designed to work in a way that should help dieters to lose weight faster.
But are diet patches better than diet pills?
When people use diet pills, the active ingredients are subjected to the natural acids and digestive enzymes inside the stomach. It's a pretty harsh environment and a lot of the ingredients' potency can be lost. Diet patches deliver the ingredients through the skin, so this should not be a problem.
The idea of a patch helping people to get slimmer may seem a little strange, but you have to bear in mind people have been using nicotine patches as a smoking cessation aid for a great many years. In the UK, it is even possible to get nicotine patches via the NHS. Do you think doctors would prescribe a patch if they think it would not work? Not likely.
The Ingredients
Slim Diet Patch only contains three ingredients and I've had to research them for so many reviews I am aware they are very good.The first ingredient is green tea.
Green tea one of the most popular diet pill ingredients available. It has also been researched more than most other ingredients and it is proven to work. Green tea helps people to lose weight by speeding up their metabolism. It also causes the body to become slightly warmer and start losing calories as heat. If you want to know more about how green tea can help you lose weight, I provide more in-depth information in an article I wrote for the Calorie Bee website: LoseWeight a Cup at a Time With Green Tea. The article also has links to a number of scientific studies that prove green tea works.
The second ingredient is Fucus Vesiculosus.
It's a seaweed extract that contains iodine. Iodine affects the metabolism in a round about way. The metabolism is governed by hormones provided by the thyroid gland and the thyroid can become sluggish and stop producing enough of them if it does not get enough iodine every day. Some people put on weight because their thyroid gland is not functioning correctly, but here's something most diet reviews don't mention: Diet supplements that contain iodine only help people who don't get enough iodine from their food. If you want to learn more about the relationship between iodine, the thyroid gland, and the metabolism, I suggest you read the ThyroidGland Overview at endocrineweb.com.
The third ingredient is Acai Fruit Extract.
Acai fruit is very nutritious and good for the health, but although a lot of people appear to have lost weight by using diet pills that contain acai, there is no proof that it works. My client won't let me mention that when I write her diet reviews, but this is my own blog so I can tell the truth and the truth is I am not fully convinced that acai can help people to lose weight. But I'm can't say that it won't either. At the moment I'm trying to keep an open mind and trying to keep up with all the latest research. If you want to find out more about acai and weight loss, there is an unbiased article at WebMD - Acai:Weight Loss Wonder Fruit?
My Take on Slim Diet Patch
I'm not a doctor, a dietician or a medical expert. I am just a guy
who has been paid to research and review dieting products for a long
time. As I said earlier in this blog post, I have learned a lot and,
because I am writing this for my own blog, instead of my client's
diet pill review site, I can tell it like I see it.
Slim Diet Patch is designed to deliver three ingredients through
the skin. The first ingredient (green tea) is incredibly good and has
been scientifically proven to work. The second ingredient (Fucus
Vesiculosus) contains iodine, which is known to be important for a
healthy thyroid gland and can, therefore, have an effect on the
metabolism. The third ingredient (acai), is very nutritious but,
although it may help with weight loss, it is not proven to work.
Patches stuck to the skin can be very effective for delivering
ingredients directly into the blood and Bauer Nutrition is one of the
most experienced weight loss supplement manufacturers in the world.
Both these things are a point in the product's favour and, for my money
green tea is such a good ingredient it could probably go it alone.
Fucus vesiculosus is also good, but it will only help people whose
thyroid gland has become sluggish due to a lack of iodine and, unless
they have had medical tests done, most people won't know if they have
a sluggish thyroid gland or not.
In all honesty, Slim Diet Patch looks pretty good to me, and Bauer is offering customers a 60 day money back guarantee. So anyone who
needs to lose weight has nothing to lose by trying the patches and
there is a damn good chance they will work.
The price is also very
good. A month's supply only costs £36.99 and, at the time of this review, Bauer are offering a 20% discount. So I'm pretty impressed.
I don't update this blog often, but if you like this review and
