Review
Summary |
The Maya and their ancestors roasted and ground the seeds of the cacao tree into a paste that was mixed with water, chile peppers and cornmeal to make a frothy spicy chocolate beverage that was far from the sweet hot cocoa that many people enjoy today. Once the cacao concoction crossed the Atlantic it was referred to as “so noble a confection, more than nectar and ambrosia, the true food of the gods”. You can be sure that declaration was made after the addition of the sugar and fat that makes up the chocolate confections that many feel they are addicted to today. Well, leave it to a chocolate loving entrepreneur to find a way to make chocolate healthy again.
SlimDelices™ produce a natural formulation of plant extracts and antioxidant-rich cacao that they advertise can bring sweet success to your diet and exercise program. They claim their “fine French dark chocolate will help curb cravings and contain curves”. Contain curves, how does that work?

| Ingredients At A Glance |
|
Chocolate and “slimming formula” composed of Guarana, Chicory Inulin, Artichoke and Green tea
Chocolate is regularly eaten for pleasure, but it is believed that cocoa or dark chocolate benefits the circulatory system. Other beneficial effects are suggested, such as anticancer, brain stimulator, cough prevention. On the other hand, eating large quantities of any chocolate increases risk of obesity.
Guarana is a climbing plant native to the Amazon basin. Guarana is best known for its fruit, which is about the size of a coffee berry. Each fruit contains about one seed, which contains approximately three times as much caffeine as coffee beans. Caffeine is a stimulant of the central nervous system, cardiac muscle, as well as the respiratory system. No FDA guidelines support this herbal supplement.
Chicory Inulin. Inulin is a "non-digestible oligosaccharide," which simply means that it's a carbohydrate that cannot be digested. It can be fermented in the lower parts of the intestinal tract. As a result, the friendly intestinal microflora grows better. Inulin occurs naturally in large quantities in some of the most famous herbs, such as burdock root, dandelion root, elecampane root and Chicory Root.
Artichoke--In traditional European medicine, the leaves of the artichoke were used as a diuretic to stimulate the kidneys and as a "choleretic" to stimulate the flow of bile from the liver and gall bladder. No FDA guidelines support the claims for this herbal supplement.
Green tea leaf extract is bioflavonoid and antioxidant rich. It is believed to be effective in fighting free radicals in the body. The Chinese have used green tea as medicine to treat headaches, body aches, and poor digestion.

| Conclusion |
|
The fact that this product is only available through websites that specialize in close out specials provides the verdict on it effectiveness for weight loss. Stick to a nibble of a chocolate bar every day and you’ll probably experience a similar outcome.
When it comes to reliable weight loss supplements on the market today, you may consider the modern appetite suppressants and thermogenics that show promising results in some studies. Albeit you probably won’t find chocolate versions of the supplement, you can always pop a few M & M’s in the mouth and chew it altogether if you’d like. You’ll probably be delaying the benefits of the supplements though by adding those extra calories each day.
Weight loss requires three very important lifestyle habits before considering weight loss supplements. The word supplement means to add to something already in place. Here’s what you need in place: heart-raising activity everyday for at least 30-60 minutes, 6-8 glasses of water a day, and a diet of mostly fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. If you are seeking a weight loss supplement, be sure and choose a product with ingredients that address both aspects of successful dieting. A proven fat-burner is needed to address excess fat on the arms, belly, hips, thighs and buttocks, and a modern appetite suppressant is needed to control caloric intake and help curb cravings. Effective weight loss happens when both dieting needs are addressed.
