Flex Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 BioSculpt NZ$89.95LOSE WEIGHT WHILE YOU SLEEP! BioSculpt is a revolutionary, new, stimulant free, weight loss product that works while you sleep. It is engineered to make you lose fat, weight, increase energy, and develop muscle. You don't have to count calories, restrict your diet, or exercise to see results. This product contains NO STIMULANTS and is recommended by doctors. It does NOT contain Ephedra, MaHuang, Caffeine, or other harsh stimulants.Warnings:If you are under the care of a physician or taking prescription drugs, consult your doctor before using this product. Do not use this product if you are pregnant or nursing unless directed by a physician. Keep out of reach of children. Keep container closed tightly. Store in a cool, dry place.Ingredients:Other Ingredients: Purified Water, Fructose, Natural Orange and Papaya Flavor, Coenzyme Q10, Beta Carotene, Soy Lecithin, Choline, Inositol, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Potassium Citrate, Annato Extract, Citric Acid, ChromeMate™ (Chromium, Xanthan Gum, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate. Does not contain yeast, lactose, refined sugar, poultry, egg, or fish products. No starch, artificial coloring or flavoring.Notes:Significant, healthy weight-loss can occur with this product. Please note, however, that BioSculpt is designed to help burn away fat while promoting lean muscle development. It does not breakdown or diminish muscle like many fad diets or stimulant based diet pills, so some people may experience only minimal weight loss because muscle weighs twice as much as fat. Instead, users may lose inches in the waist, hips, stomach and other areas, while noticing an enhanced definition of their muscles. A measuring tape and mirror rather than a bathroom scale is the best way to measure your results on BioSculpt. .Recommended Use:As a dietary supplement, take 1 ounce (one capful) just before bed at least 3 hours after dinner or a snack. When your body burns fat it requires extra hydration, so we recommend that you drink at least 8 glasses of water every day to maximize your results on BioSculpt and promote general health. If your weight loss goal is 25 pounds or more, you may double the dosage to 2 ounces (two capfuls) each night, or one capful before bed and one capful immediately upon rising. Once you have achieved your fat loss goal, you may reduce the dosage to 1/2 ounce each night.Nutritional FactsServing Size: 1 Fluid Ounce (30ml)Servings per Container: 32Amount Per Serving % Daily Value*Fiber 0g **Calories 14 **Total Fat 0g **Sodium 0g **Protein 4g 8%Carbohydrates 3.6g 1%Sugars 3.6gVitamin B5 60mg 600%Vitamin B6 4mg 200%Hydrolyzed Collagen 3000mg **BioSculpt Blend (Aloe Vera Gel, Potassium Pyruvate, CLA, C-Carnitine) 7650mg **Proprietary Blend (L-Alanine, L-Lysine, L-Proline, L-Glutamine, L-Leucine, Hydroxyproline, Dimethyl Glycine)---------------------------------------------Can you believe that some retailers actually sell this rubbish? $89 for 32 serves, and if this one isn't powerful enough they also do a Biosculpt EXTREME!!! at $99.95 for 21 serves - and contains a rather grand 10,000mg of Porcine Collagen...yummy.

Pseudonym Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 Ingredients: Other Ingredients: Purified Water.....Is there something missing? Or does it not have any "main" ingredients, and just skips straight to "other"?! It doesn't matter - I was sold at the natural orange and papaya flavour! Seriously, though, it sounds suspiciously like the Body Enhancer product that saw the makers fined nearly $800,000 for false claims. Anyone smell another court case coming up?

musclearmor Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 I agree. I get sick to death of seeing cowboys putting rubbish supplements on the market to make a quick buck! The only people who fall for it, unfortunately could actually recieve results, indirectly, as they probably eat too many calories at night before bed which is the easiest time to store fat calories. By following "1 ounce (one capful) just before bed at least 3 hours after dinner or a snack" you are convincing the consumer to not eat any excess evening calories so possibly you can lose weight from not stuffing your face before bed!As for an athlete, this is a pure waste of time and a complete rip-off! CLA has had another bunch of research out I've seen that would be a far better alternative...And what the hell does "minimal weightloss" mean? You mean you could lose 0.5g of weight from not stuffing your face every night and drinking this product....yeah...good one! Nothing replaces nutritious eating, exercise before supplementation can be successfully implemented. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flex Posted September 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 The people who sell this product in NZ also happen to carry a couple of products with DHEA and several with Yohimbe in them - both of which are prescription only in NZ. I don't know whether they are aware of that though, as from what I can tell they appear to stock whatever is flash and sounds good, and promises to be the latest and greatest thing for fatloss.Unfortunately the guy that runs the website that sells all these fine products thinks he's a bit of an oracle of knowledge when it comes to diet, nutrition and weight trainingh and has written a few articles. Check out some of these chestnuts:From an article on Diet Myths9. Eating a bunch of carbs will give you a boost of energy.Not true. Actually you will find yourself feeling sluggish very quickly if you eat a high in carbs meal before you work out. Try eating oatmeal or an apple before you work out.8. No pain, no gain?That is right. When you exercise something that hasn't been used, it will cause pain. It should burn a little. If there is real pain, then you should see a doctor.7. If I eat 2000 calories per day... I should eat five, four hundred calorie meals per day?No way! You should try the yo-yo type of diet. Eat more calories when you are more active, eat less when you are less active.6. Are supplements a waste of money?There is no one sided answer with this one. Some are some aren't. Most vitamin pills can be a waste of money. If you are eating a good diet, then you don't need them. On the other hand, protein powders are a great way to help you bulk up.Take a look at the claims. If they promise you will grow more muscle than a horse and make your teeth bright white, it is a scam. I think you get the drift. (and he sells Biosculpt)Here's some more:How many calories do you need Too Many Calories A Day - How many calories do you need? Well, that depends on a lot of things. Your age, sex, type of work, physical activity, all come into play. There is no one answer for this type of thing. I have to warn you, I don't believe the general ideas on how many calories a person should have. If you have a 2,000 calorie diet, you are starving yourself. I know that some people live and die by this number, but I just throw it to the wind. Wny don't I pay attention to a number such as 2,000? Only because it is stupid. Yes, you heard me right, stupid.How is a person who is very active going to live off of 2,000 calories? I mean, you would end up looking like those dying skinny kids in the 3rd world countries.I think you get the drift though. I think those numbers are put in place by people who are so focused on health, that they are blinded by it. I mean, if you have 3,000 calories in one day, it won't kill you. Though, they might want to make you believe that it will.I'm not saying that you should throw all of this stuff to the wind. That would be foolish. What I am saying is, you should take it with a grain of salt. There is no reason why you should get bent out of shape if you go a few hundred or even a thousand over this limit. I mean, if you are going over by 5,000 then you should be worried. Some people do need to be concerned with such a thing. For example, people who are on a diet because of heart problems. You should be very focused on your diet. Also people with sugar problems would fall into this category as well.And a little bit from his article on Ephedrine - classic stuff this:What is Ephedrine? We have all either heard of or taken ephedrine. I can remember taking it when I was a kid to get high. You take a handful of them and it kind of feels like speed. Some people call it trucker's speed or poor man's speed.You can buy it in the health food store or gas stations. A lot of places have it. The most popular form is the small little tablets.Ephedrine is an herb. (Well sorry no it's not. MaHuang is a weed/herb - and one of it's active ingredients is ephedra. Ephedrine is a man made chemical synthesised in a lab and has absolutely nothing to do with the herb mahuang). That will raise the eye brows of some people. I know that years ago I was into the whole herbal thing. Now, I don't even think about them. Most herbs don't work very well. If you are like me and take medications from your doctor, you might not want to mix them with herbs. Yes, even herbs have side effects.
