QuickTrim for Weight Loss: Kim Kardashian Takes It, Should You?

Would you like to have a body like Kim Kardashian? Well, apparently she gets her body by using QuickTrim.

Last year Kim Kardashian, who is featured on the reality show "Keeping up with the Kardashians," came out and revealed a "whole new body" and said that she lost weight using QuickTrim products along with exercise. Her sister Khloe Kardashian also spoke up and stated that she lost 20 pounds by taking the same weight loss supplement as her sister. The two have been featured in commercials for the weight loss product, as well as endorsing it on Twitter and their websites.

So, does QuickTrim really work? Read on to see if QuickTrim can help you with weight loss.

A Look at the Quick Trim Products

QuickTrim is a line of weight loss products that are designed to help aid in weight loss in a few different ways. There are four different products that are designed to do different things for a person.

The Quick Trim Burn and Cleanse is a 14-day diet that helps to "jump start your metabolism" and detoxify your body. There are three different weight loss products that are included in this rapid weight loss system.

Celluslim is a "body sculpting gel" that is designed to lessen the appearance of cellulite on the body as well as tones and smoothes areas of the body. It is marketed as being able to notice visible results in as little as seven days.

The Quick Trim Super Cleanse product is a very fast weight loss product that is supposed to take pounds off in 48 hours. It also helps to detoxify and cleanse the body as well as eliminates stomach bloating. It's a lemonade flavored drink that is supposed to be taken in between meals.

Lastly, the Extreme Burn allegedly helps a person burn up to 8,000 calories more a month. According to the QuickTrim website it is "the most powerful, most advanced weight loss formula available."

What QuickTrim Did for Kim and Khloe Kardashian

There is much speculation about the whole QuickTrim weight loss for Kim Kardashian and her sister Khloe. For one there are many rumors that the sisters get paid to endorse the weight loss product, which can lessen the endorsement to many people. Secondly, Kim Kardashian was not exactly overweight to begin with when she started using Quick Trim which also can lessen the product in people's eyes as well.

According to Kim, she lost 6 pounds while on the Quick Trim diet as well as losing several inches and toning up. Kim did combine the weight loss supplements with exercise during that time.

While Kim only lost 6 pounds, Khloe Kardashian lost quite a bit more. According to Khloe she lost 20 pounds in 4 weeks. She first told Life and Style magazine that she lost the weight by working out "45 minutes a day, five days a week and maintaining a balanced, practical diet," but then revealed a few weeks later on her website that she lost it with the help of QuickTrim as well.

Can Quick Trim Work for You?

There are literally hundreds of different weight loss supplements just like Quick Trim available. The thing that you must remember when it comes to most of these supplements like QuickTrim is that they are not approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) which means you have to take the company's word that the product works and is safe. Just because a reality star like Kim Kardashian endorses the product doesn't necessarily means it is safe or will be effective for other people.

If you take a look at the ingredients in the Quick Trim weight loss products you will notice that caffeine is a major player in the products. Most people realize that caffeine can give you energy but it is a short burst of energy and a person can get that energy high but then it is followed by a quick fall. The other ingredients are commonly found in other weight loss supplements and help to aid in appetite suppressing, which basically tricks your body into feeling full.

Too much caffeine can be dangerous for a person. Instead of taking weight loss supplements like QuickTrim that contain large amounts of caffeine a person can get a natural energy high all day long by eating a healthy and balanced diet full of fruits, vegetables, lean protein, and whole grains. There is no need to jump start your metabolism with caffeine if you have a healthy and balanced diet.

Although Quick Trim may not be dangerous to your health, it is unnecessary when it comes to weight loss. Eating a balanced and healthy diet along with regular exercise is truly the only way to lose weight. Even though you may lose an extra couple of pounds by drinking a QuickTrim Super Cleanse, it is not worth it at all. What happens is when most people stop taking a weight loss supplement they gain all the weight back. In fact, Khloe has even said that she has gained some of the weight back since she got married a few months ago.

Remember that when you take any type of weight loss product or supplement you are trusting the company that the product is safe and effective for you. Don't let an endorsement like Kim Kardashian sway you into taking a weight loss supplement.

If you are interested in learning more about this product to do your own research you can check QuickTrim out online or check out the products at your local GNC store.
