A very pregnant Kourtney Kardashian is having a hard time accepting her baby weight. Slim sis Kim says that "Kourtney is going crazy. She feels so big right now. She's just ready to have the baby." According to Us Weekly, sisters Kim and Khloe are both dieting with their QuickTrim diet products and expectant mom Kourtney is jealous because she sees how they're both losing weight.
I've got to admit that I'm sick of hearing about the Kardashians, and now they're promoting this diet product and proving that it works. Ever wonder what it is exactly, or if it's even healthy? My gut says it's not, so I decided to check out the website to see what I could dig up. Here's what I found: QuickTrim Fast Cleanse ($30) is a "lemonade flavored drink designed to help rid the body of excess water weight, belly bloating, and intestinal bulk." So are you supposed to drink these magic citrus beverages all day and that's it?
To hear more about QuickTrim and what the ingredients are, read more.
The Fast Cleanse drink I just described is one product made by QuickTrim. It contains many ingredients including pure lemon juice concentrate, chicory root (fiber), and aloe vera gel. Although it's made with natural ingredients, detoxing your body isn't necessary.
QuickTrim makes two other diet supplements, but these are in tablet form: Extreme Burn ($50) and Burn & Cleanse ($60). Extreme Burn claims to burn up to 8,000 extra calories per month. Burn & Cleanse is a 14-day diet system that promises to burn calories all day, and cleanse and detox you all night. They're made with ingredients such as cocoa extract, acai fruit extract, hyssop, false unicorn root, and green tea leaf extract. Sounds like a witch's potion to me. But at least you're instructed to take these tablets between meals, not in place of them.
These pills are supposed to stimulate your metabolism, maintain your blood sugar levels, burn fat and calories, and contain antioxidants to promote a happy mood. Safety-wise, QuickTrim products are not FDA-approved, so I'd skip them completely and save your moolah to buy things you know will help shed pounds, like a gym membership or fresh fruits and veggies. If you're trying to lose weight, don't fall for this quick-fix diet scam. As I've said before, the safest and most effective way to slim down is with a healthy diet and regular exercise.

i never trust ANYTHING that's endorsed by a celebrity, let alone Z-list celebrities.
1sounds too much like slimquick to me, which really was supposedly really good at 1) keeping you awake and jittery and 2) curbing PMS lol.
2If it sounds too good to be true IT IS!
3Ugh, if I had their money, I would shop at Whole Foods with reckless abandon and hire the best personal trainer in Hollywood!
The "fat cleanse" sounds like nothing more than a diuretic - if it's just ridding your body of water weight and bloating, then it's totally misleading to advertise it as reducing fat.
4And I wonder if they actually make them take this crap if they are endorsing it!
5Jennibean5, from what I've heard when celebs endorse something, such as a product or clothing line, they have to either speak of it so many times or be seen using/wearing it so many times. It's part of their contract. Lame. Kim Kardashian is just a very fortunate woman who is a) probably naturally fit and b) has the money to pay for trainers, equipment, healthy food etc.
6Now I know what to use before my next colonoscopy.
I'm sure it would taste better than what they usually give out..
7Sunday --- Z list? that's generous
is there a ZZ list??
What the eff is "false unicorn root" ?
And I'm with you, Chloe ... if I had that kind of money I would have a coach, a trainer, a cook, and the best ingredients money could buy !
8Not only is Kim Kardashian NOT healthy looking or "in shape", she's a somebody who got famous for a sex tape. Why the hell would I buy a diet pill from a porn star? LOL. Baffling.
9If I had infinite money, I'd also have a personal coach and a home gym with tons of LifeFitness equipment.
But, as for TrimSpa/QuickTrim/The garbage they're selling this week, it's crap. We all know it's crap. This stuff only appeals to those looking for a quick fix.
10It is not worth it. Take the money and buy some good fruit and vegetables.
11Kellie1982--my thoughts exactly. Her previous porn-star antics don't exactly leave her with any credibility for this or anything else.
12I had to Google this name to find out who Kim Kardashian is - I keep seeing her on fashion blogs but couldn't figure out what makes her famous. Right, a sex tape. Now I know!
Anyway, sounds like an ineffective expensive product. Big surprise...
13Running, I had the same reaction to "false unicorn root." Anything with "false unicorn root" doesn't belong in my body!
14OK...so I "googled" False Unicorn root and this is some of the info I found...not something I think that needs to be in a diet pill!
False unicorn root or chamaelirium luteum is a relative of lilies that is native to the US. It was used in a variety of ways in traditional Native American medication, particularly among tribes located in the Eastern United States. It also has long been part of herbal medicine to treat a variety of conditions, most of them having to do with disorders affecting the uterus and ovaries, and a woman’s menstrual cycle. Called by names like fairy-wand and devil’s bit, modern usage of false unicorn root is normally in tincture form. It has been suggested that taking a tincture of this root may help regulate menstrual cycles, assist in the symptoms associated with menopause, reduce uterine cramping, end ovarian cysts, stimulate ovulation, help with fertility issues, reduce miscarriage, and address morning sickness. The herb also has diuretic properties and might be used to treat kidney disorders, and in high doses it can be used to induce vomiting.
There are few studies of the benefits of false unicorn root in humans, and most information on this herb comes from anecdotal evidence. It is presently thought that chemicals in the herb may help release human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), often known as the pregnancy hormone. This has not been proven.
15Ok, that just sounds gross and scary!
16of course it's quackery. this makes me so mad. I think it should be illegal to sell any non-Rx "weight loss supplements." It gives people the impression that there is any easy way to lose weight and then when they fall off the wagon or fail they feel like they failed, since it's allegedly so easy. People like the Kardashians who make money off this junk are jerks. I really wish Jillian Michaels didn't also endorse weight loss supplements
17I'm not interested in anything associated with Kardashians. I'm not really sure why folks are so fascinated with them, what exactly do they do, besides that sex tape? Definitely don't know why people would buy anything they endorse, especially fake diet products.
18I don't hate the Kardashians. I admittedly watch their shows, when its time to turn my brain off, and I am entertained. But lets be real; the Kardashian sisters are just a bunch of silly little girls. They are immature, outrageously spoiled, superficial, constantly jealous of each others "accomplishments" and will clearly do ANYTHING to be famous. Why would anyone listen to their advice?? About anything?! Let alone health! I wish celebrities like them would stop using their influence to push whack weight loss products and stick to what they are good at: wearing copious amounts of eye make-up and acting ridiculous on realty TV.
19I would never take anything endorsed by a celebrity tart.
20Yeah, I'm not about to take anything endorsed by a Kardashian. It sounds like a combo of some herbal diuretics and laxatives, so the whole "detox" thing will just make you poop your brains out and you'll be a few pounds lighter. Once you eat again, the weight will come back. Still, people will probably buy it because they want a quick fix. I'd definitely go with the personal trainer over this crap.
21I was really sad to see that they used diet pills to lose the weight. And if they did, I wish they would have kept it to themselves. FitSugar is right- healthy eating & exercise is the way to go. Anything sustainable for the long term takes real work.
22Yes, this product is a scam and it is unfortunate that she is a spokesperson for it. BUT: we are grown women. Why critique the life of another woman? Calling her immature doesn't make you more mature, calling her silly doesn't make you anymore credible, and calling her a tart is well... just sad. She is famous because people like you- yes, you all- are talking about her. She's laughing all the way to the bank.
P.S. many couples tape themselves having sex-- that doesn't make her part of the porn industry.
23P.P.S. to the woman who said that she does not look healthy or in shape: why not? because she has a rear end?
i am so sick of these quick fix diets. I wish people would realize these do NOT work. Yes, you lose a few pounds in a few days...but the second you begin to eat normally again, you gain it back and you have not learned how to eat healthy nutritious meals.
If people just had lessons on nutrition and moderation and realized you do not have to work out 7 days a week vigorously, you don't have to deprive yourself of carbs and you can still enjoy many things...we would be so much healthier!
24To the anonymous commenter a couple posts up:
Many couples tape themselves having sex, and guess where your ex-bf/ex husband winds up distributing those tapes... I'm sorry but that's trashy and I'd be embarrassed to wind up on an amateur porn site. Also those naked pics you take of yourself can wind up being on an infamous blog (I will not name the blog on here because it's indecent) and the entire world can guess what your hoo-ha looks like.
Think about it. Do women not have standards anymore? We demand not to be treated like meat, and yet look at what we do to gain the attention of men. Pathetic if you ask me.
25I work at a GNC and get way too many customers who want products like this. No matter how many times I tell them to go with a low cal high exercise diet regimen, they want the pills.
26buy diet pill
27Jajajajaja! Ur all lameos:D
28Talking crap its not Going to affect the kardasians their still going to be rich and famous at the end of the day. If u dnt like it dnt buy it simple as that. Go to a gym stop looking for a quick way to lose weight its unhealthy.
