Herbal Relislim Ingredients

• Hoodia gordonii

This succulent plant ingredient comes from the Northern Cape, the Kalahari, Namibia and Botswana. It was used by the San Bushmen on hunting expeditions to combat hunger and exhaustion. It has an appetite suppressant effect on the brain. There are claims that it can cut your kilojoule intake by a third. Any decrease in food intake will help you to lose weight.

Please note that, clinical trials on Hoodia Gordonii are neither encouraging nor conclusive. If you are looking for a strong herbal appetite controller, then go for well known Garcinia Cambogia. Have you heard of GarciniaExtra?

• Green tea extract

It is popular as a powerful anti-oxidant, it lowers cholesterol and it has an appetite suppressing property. Green tea also prevents the formation of harmful blood clots in the circulatory system.

• Gymnema sylvestre

This herb from India assists in weight loss by suppressing the taste of sweet foods and consequently reducing the desire to eat them. Gymnema sylvestre controls and regulates weight by controlling the craving for sugar. By consuming less sugar, your weight should be controlled much more easily. (ref)

• Caffeine

It is one of the most popular thermogenic stimulants. Caffeine enhances the processes by which energy is made available to the body. It also increases kidney excretion to rid the body of impurities. It also has a mild diuretic effect, which causes increased urine excretion. Caffeine also increases the ability to concentrate and stay alert and awake.

What is Relislim 7 step program?

It is a comprehensive weight management system which consists of additional supplements, diet menu, and fitness program. You are advised to follow the program to reach desired weight loss goal and for lifelong weight management.

Step 1 with Kel-6

In step 1, the company encourages you to use another supplement called Kel-6. This supplement contains some essential minerals and nutrients. Since it contains Tribulus terrestris it has mild diuretic effect.

Step 2 with Moving

Moderate intensity workouts are essential for this system to work.  This course gives suggestions about warming-up, strength training, cardio workouts, and stretching for overall body flexibility.

Step 3,4 & 5: Food choice

This chapter tells us ‘how to maintain a food dairy’. They advise you to eat low GI foods. Fortunately, the list contains lots of food choices, hence not too hard to follow. They also advise to eat ‘low fat’ foods which is amusing for me.

They also promote the theory of ‘eat smaller meal regularly to keep metabolism firing’. Based on my own personal experience, I can confidently say that, this theory is a myth. Moreover, many medical experts vouch the same.

Step 6 & 7- Drink water and maintain weight

In this section you’ll get information on fluids. There is a separate section for cold, hot, and alcoholic beverages. You are advised to drink pure water without any flavors or artificial tasters. There is also another section for ‘weight management’. Overall, it’s a commonsense fitness approach.

Verdict

I think I have already highlighted all the pros & cons and better alternatives. This is not a ‘hocus-focus magic pill’ which makes exorbitant weight loss claims. Both RelislimS6 & Relislim Herbal, and supportive 7 step program can help you to lose weight if followed strictly. Before closing down, I suggest you read this review of PhenQ. <<< From all the angles, it looks better alternative.
