Does Size 0 Really Work?

Size 0 promotes itself as a “scientific breakthrough.” In reality is just another weight loss and “beauty pill” marketing towards the wishful woman who doesn’t feel like doing any real research. At one point the consumer is even promised “shapely curves” which seems counterintuitive for a product claiming to take you to the very smallest size a person can be without visiting the children’s section.

Ingredients Used

Caffeine Anhydrous-a powerful form of caffeine, anhydrous means without water. It has been shown to produce a powerful thermogenic effect in the body if used in the right amounts. However, it also comes with the classic side effects of caffeine.

Green Tea Extract-a thermogenic form of caffeine, it is also rich in antioxidants like EGCG. However, one should keep in mind that it requires at least 400mg of 50% caffeine considering the fact that caffeine is the actual fat burning component

Yerba Mate Root Extract-used as a natural Brazilian energy supplement, it is not effective in promoting weight loss without both guarana and damiana.

Green Coffee Bean Extract-a natural caffeine extract, this has been known to be high in antioxidants as well. It requires about 400mg to promote weight loss.
