With summer round the corner and many of us feeling that we would enjoy it all the more if we were that bit slimmer; finding an easy way to lose weight fast would be, for many of us, a godsend - so could a new supplement on the block: Zotrim, really help us achieve just that?

The biggest obstacle to successful weight-loss is the powerful appetite and cravings that we normally experience when dieting. Although there are certain dietary strategies which can help a lot to make us feel fuller for fewer calories, I have personally found that my hunger still results in taking in too many calories for me to reach my weight-loss goals, i.e a flat tummy I’d be proud to show off at the beach. Exercise can help, but decent results require about an hour a day (from recent research- and experience). So, other than exercise and diet is there anything else that can help? Although there are a lot of dodgy weight-loss supplements about, there are a few which have been proven to be both safe and effective. One of the most interesting supplements around at the moment is a supplement called Zotrim.

Many weight-loss supplement manufacturers say that there are studies to support the efficacy of their products. However, the only studies which can be counted as reliable and trustworthy are double-blind placebo controlled studies. In the BBC2 TV programme, ‘Professor Regan’s Diet Clinic’ (17 April, 2009), Zotrim was the only natural diet pill that she managed to find with a study of this kind to support it’s effectiveness.

There are several such studies, which show that zotrim has an effect on reducing the appetite and daily food intake and results in weight-loss. Most recently, researchers at the University of Liverpool, found that women who took the supplement with their breakfast had a much lower appetite at lunch time - cutting their calorie intake by 17.6 per cent. If the effects were replicated throughout the day, the supplement would cut a dieter’s daily count by 400 or 500 calories, equivalent to two bars of chocolate or a kebab! It would take about an hour of running to burn this many calories through exercise.

So, if you are really determined to lose weight fast, in time for summer, so that you can enjoy it to the absolute fullest; your strategy should have three prongs of attack: 1.) find a diet which will keep you feeling fuller, whilst reducing calories (so that you are actually able to stick to it - as you won’t be feeling starving). 2.) do as much exercise as you can fit into your schedule. 3.) Use a scientifically, double-blind tested weight-loss supplement which has been proven to work, i.e Zotrim, to super-charge your weight-loss. With a three-pronged attack strategy, you will maximise your chances of, for once, getting the body you really want in time for summer!
