bootcampinabottle.com - real or fake?

they are suggesting you have it for 7 days for fast weight loss... the man in the video apparently lost 11lbs in 7 days...

"Either take it as and when you need it to replace occasional meals or go on a seven day continuous weight loss programme to lose weight fast. For the seven day programme Boot Camp in a Bottle should be taken with water up to six times a day. When you wake up, mid-morning, for lunch and mid-afternoon. Follow that with some low calorie soup for your evening meal and then have another serving about an hour before going to bed"

"In terms of hunger, people are generally very surprised how little they feel hungry while on a Boot Camp In A Bottle weight loss plan. The main ingredients are the seeds and husks from the Psyllium plant. These expand to over a hundred times their size when you swallow them (WITH WATER PLEASE!) - so you will feel full."

what do you think? is it real? im tempted to try it. It costs £39.99 for a 500g Boot Camp In A Bottle - enough to replace fifty meals at 80p each.

Seriously? Of course it doesn't work. We need to be in a caloric defict to lose weight and i would imagine this product has calories. If it's saying to just consume these, well, then your creating a deficit I would imagine, but if your adding it to what your already eating???? talk about marketing and taking advantage of popular dieting vocabulary, they have it down pat.....it's protein powder, is it not?

It's basically all bulk fiber with some sweetener and vitamins added in. You can buy bulk psyllium for pretty cheap. But eating whole foods and a moderate deficit is a much better idea imo

It says "zero calories" on the label...

I would say to just eat one bowl of low cal soup a day and don't waste you rmoney on this powder.

That would create quite the deficit, but so does eating the right amounts of low cal food and exercise!

Let us know how it goes!

it has no calories

If it only wants you to eat soup twice a day then sure you'd lose tons of weight but not in a healthy way. It will put you in starvation mode and that's not good

Hi Gary - we noticed your post about us and all the sceptical responses! We are just a very simple product as some of your responses have noted. We are ultra low calories but high in fibre and nutrition. It's formulated to fill you up, give you the vitamins you need but forces your body to take the calories it needs each day from your fat. You can buy all the separate ingredients in our product from health food shops. All we've done is put them all together for the first time.

It's not a permanent solution. More of a kick-start to a healthier you. We wouldn't recommend Boot Camp as a permanent part of your diet. As one of your responses noted (and as you'll see on our web site) the only way long term to a healthy lifestyle is to balance calories in and calories out with a combination of healthy food and regular exercise. Boring but effective! Our product is just designed to get you motivated without any nasty chemicals.


Cheers
David - Founder of Boot Camp

It is not very high in nutrition as following your directions on the bottle (6 servings a day + a small low cal soup for 7 days) would leave woefully short on protein and fats (essential macronutrients) and a host of other micronutrients (no minerals at all in your product). I'm also going to assume you are using cheaper forms of vitamins in your product and none of the B vitamins are in their coenzyme form.

Essentially you are preying on the ignorance of people trying to lose weight quickly

There's a word that doesn't get enough use on this forum.

That word is Pwned.

It works and I don't feel tired or hungry. What do you ask people who have been successful on the Cambridge diet? Or any other similar diet. I don't eat a lot. And when I did I ate all the wrong things. I now use this 2 - 3 times a day and have a salad or grilled meat and veg and it works. It may not be everyone's Idea of loosing weight but If it works for you great. Like they say, it's not permanent.

Holy necro but here goes:

If it's not permanent then why do it? You can not feel hungry or tired without having to resort to buying a magic solution in a bottle for x period of time. If you truly want to lose weight, keep it off, and be healthier - you have to make changes for life. Rather than rely on something you can't sustain - start off with the changes that will last you rather than "quick loss" item that will have you re-gaining once you stop.

You can't "jump start" or "detox." You can make better food choices and fold them into a new lifestyle: eating balanced, maintaining a calorie deficit (or maintenance when you get there), and exercise. No dieting or gimmicks required.

Everything advertised out there works*

*When used in conjunction with proper eating and exercise.
