What is it?

GNC Burn 60 is a weight loss diet pill featuring thermogenic ingredients to help boost metabolism and energy. It claims to help increase calorie burning by up to 60%.

The way it’s meant to work is by helping “cellular metabolic activity”, which is a way of saying it will increase one’s metabolism. The clinical study performed showed that an hour after exercising on a treadmill, 22 people had a 73.8 increase calorie loss than those who only took a placebo. In this review you’ll learn about how customers have rated it, the quality of ingredients, and whether or not it can truly affect weight loss.

GNC Burn 60 Ingredients and Side Effects

Guarana Seed Extract
Black Tea Leaves Extract
MegaNatural Grape Skin & Seed Extract
Ginger Root Extract

MegaNatural Gold Grape Seed Extract
Dill Weed Extract
Dextrose
Cellulose

FD&C Yellow #6 Lake
FD&C Red #40 Lake
Titanium Dioxide
Cinnamon Bark Extract

Natural Vanilla Flavor
Sucralose

Guarana Seed Extract:Seeds from this plant contains stimulantssuch as caffeine. It’s found in the Amazon and often brewed as a beverage.  Web MD adds:

“Guarana is POSSIBLY UNSAFE when taken by mouth in high doses for a long time”

There’s a total of 180 mg of caffeine found in one serving of GNC Burn 60, and it comes from guarana.

Caffeine can help boost metabolism, but this effect does not last long. Examine.com adds:

“Habitual caffeine use leads to tolerance… effects of caffeine will be diminished, often to the point where the only benefit a user experiences is caffeine’s anti-sleep effect”

This is important to note, as the clinicalstudy provided by GNC Burn 60 was only performed for a short period. It’s likelythe only reason there was an increase of calorie burning was due to the use of caffeine.

With repeat use it’s unlikely to have any weight loss benefits.Experts ranked the top 10 diet pills in the list provided here.

Black Tea Leaves Extract:This aged common tea is higher in caffeine than other forms of tea. Due to its natural caffeine, it increases mental function and is used to increase metabolism.  It can lead to side effects that include:

Insomnia, rapid heart rate, and jitters.

Indigestion, nausea, and ill feelings.

Ringing in the ears, convulsions, and muscle twitches.

Confusion, dizziness, and diarrhea.

Tremors, heartburn, and vomiting.

Mood swings, irritability, and withdrawal symptoms.

MegaNatural Grape Skin & Seed Extract:A patented form of grape skin and grape seed extract. They’re antioxidants used to improve cardiovascular health, and improve cell health. Web MD has mentioned:

“it’s still too early to say whether the antioxidant properties of grape seed extract really benefit people”

There’s also a lack of quality information about the use of grape skin.

Dill Weed Extract:Often used as a spice, this ingredient is used to relax themuscles and help kill bacteria. It’s also meant to support fat loss. Examine.com adds:

“Preliminary trials on triglycerides fail to show promise, and most therapeutic usages are still unexplored”

In certain people it may trigger unwanted allergies.

FD&C Yellow #6 Lake:Artificial food dye made from petroleum. It’s been claimed that this can cause ADHD like symptoms and food allergies.

In parts of Europe including Sweden, Norway, and Finland, it’s limited or altogether banned due to health concerns.

Much like other food colorings, it has no weight loss potential and can be possibly harmful.

FD&C Red #40 Lake:Inactive food dye with no nutritional value.  A clinical review by the Center for Science in the Public Interest found that:

“Red 40, Yellow 5, and Yellow 6 contain benzidene, a human and animal carcinogen”

Since it’s only added as a food dye, the group petitioned the FDA to ban this potentially harmful additive.

Sucralose:Artificial sweetener that is approximately 1,000 times sweeter than regular table sugar. It has no calories and cannot be used by the body.

There have been clinical studies which showed it can be harmful. The Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health performed one such study on rats and they found it:

“Exerted numerous adverse effects including reduction in beneficial fecal microflora, increased fecal pH, and enhanced expression levels of P-gp”

Reduced gut bacteria is known to cause severe immune system damage, and it can have a high risk for serious illness and disease. Also, the release of P-gp only happens in the body when a potential contaminant is recognized.

This means that when eating sucralose, the body will treat it as a toxin. Featured in this link is a comprehensive list of the top 10 diet pills.

EDITOR’S TIP: Combine this supplement with a proven fat burner such as Sletrokor for better results.

GNC Burn 60 Quality of Ingredients

There are a total of 6 active ingredients and 8 inactive additives. 2 of the active ingredients are meant to provide caffeine as a way to help burn fat. The grape seed extracts have not been proven to be effective for weight loss, and they’re added to give antioxidant benefits.

Ginger root is more of a digestive aid, and dill weed also has not been shown to help withweight loss. This means that the only likely benefits are due to caffeine, which is not a long lasting or effective weight loss solution. It can also be replaced with things like coffee or tea.

The overall quality of ingredients is very poor. The top 10 list featured here has the best diet pill supplements.

The Price and Quality of GNC Burn 60

A 30 day supply is sold by the manufacturer’swebsite for $36.99. This breaks down to a daily price of $1.23.

Many of the ingredients have either not been shown to be effective for weight loss, or there’s a possibility for many unwanted side effects.

There’s a high amount of cheap additives in this as well. 2 forms of food coloring and artificial sweeteners are added. These ingredients have shown the possibility for side effects, and they’re cheap to add.

Most of this blend is made up ofstimulants such as black tea leaves and guarana. These additives can be replaced with whole foods for much cheaper, as their only intended weight loss benefits come from caffeine. For the price paid, this is a very cheap mixture of additives. The top 10 list found in this link has the top raking diet pill supplements.

All good hosts need a savory summer salad to start the party off right. Try this recipe and more in the South of France Cookbook.

Serves 2

6 ½ oz (200 g) Jerusalem artichokes (about 4)
1 tbsp olive oil
2 free-range large eggs
3½ oz (100 g) green beans
6–8 anchovy fillets
1 round head lettuce
½ cup (3½ oz/100 g) cherry tomatoes, halved
1 shallot, diced
⅔ cup (2½ oz/80 g) black olives,
pitted and roughly chopped
1 can (6½ oz/200 g) good-quality tuna
sea salt and black pepper

FOR THE DRESSING
3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
2 tbsp white wine vinegar
1 tsp whole-grain mustard
finely grated zest and juice of
½ unwaxed lemon
sea salt and black pepper

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Quarter the artichokes and put them in a small baking pan. Toss them in olive oil and season with salt and pepper, then roast for about 1 hour, or until soft. Remove and leave to cool.

While the artichokes are roasting, bring a pan of water to a rolling boil. Carefully add the eggs and cook for 3 minutes, then add the beans and cook 6 minutes more. Remove the eggs, then drain the beans and leave to cool. Shell and halve the eggs and roughly chop the anchovies.

Tear the lettuce into a large bowl and add all the ingredients except the eggs and tuna. In a small bowl, mix the dressing ingredients together and taste to check the seasoning. Toss the salad with the dressing, reserving 2 tablespoons for later.

To serve, make a mound of salad in a serving bowl, add the tuna chunks and place the egg halves on top. Drizzle with the remaining dressing. Any leftovers will be perfect in a pan bagnat: a hollowed-out French sourdough with the salad packed inside to make a sandwich.

Reading groups and book clubs have always intrigued me. While I understand the pull of talking about books with other people (after all, I do it all day) reading to me has always been a more solitary pursuit. Maybe it’s a job hazard: After talking endlessly about a manuscript, art, the cover, the price and hearing opinions from everyone from design, sales, marketing, and publicity on everything I just want to sit down and read a good story and not care what anyone else thinks about it. What does intrigue me, though, are book clubs for kids, because adding a social component to reading can inspire a lot of kids who may not otherwise want to plunk themselves down on the sofa and read by themselves.

I have been reading about and hearing about more and more kids (and by kids I mean those who are reading independently) for some time. I’m intimidated as a parent at some of the Pinterest-worthy postings of those meetings with elaborate themes and favors, but there are a lot of ways to pull off a book club that don’t involve carving a stamp of the main character out of a potato.

Kids are susceptible to peer pressure. (We know this.) But when the pressure is used for good it can be motivating. So if all of Olivia’s friends are reading a book and talking about it even if she’s not a super-engaged reader she may feel left out unless she is reading it, too. As always when forming some kind of group or club, I’d like to remind people to be inclusive. I always feel horrible for the one kid who gets left out (which explains why I’m the parent who ends up with 18 kids at every birthday party). Encourage your child to talk up the group and see who wants in. You never know what someone will contribute to the conversation and different perspectives make for a more enriching and interesting discussion. If you have a larger group you can always do the meetings at a library, a pizza place or, depending on the weather, a park instead of someone’s home.

Inclusion counts in terms of selecting the book, too. Try to select a book that has a lower priced paperback edition or better yet is available at the library. Many families can’t afford to buy a new hardcover.

A mix of reading levels is OK. While it’s ideal to have a group of kids who are within the range of each other (i.e. they can all comfortably read the book) some kids will struggle a bit while some will breeze through. That’s ok in my book. Just as on your soccer team there are kids of different levels they’ll all be able to contribute something to the larger group. You probably don’t want to choose a book that is a reach for all of the kids; frustrating them isn’t going to go well. So lay off the Faulkner.

Meeting every 4-6 weeks is optimal. Give kids enough time to finish the book but don’t schedule the meetings so far apart that they forget what they read. Part of what will make a great group is harnessing enthusiasm the kids will have for a particular story.

Go with a theme. I like the idea of making these meetings celebratory. If you are reading Holes maybe you serve…doughnut holes? Maybe the kids dress up from the period of the book or you decorate with a theme (Hogwarts anyone?). If you are reading Charlotte’s Web you could hang cotton or string webs around the room.

This is not school. Don’t test, drill, or hand out worksheets.  Ideally the conversation should be organic and at ease, as if the kids were discussing the latest movie or television show. Resist the urge to turn it into a pop quiz which is a guaranteed buzz kill.

Prompt when needed. Depending on the age of your group some kids will need help getting started. A parent (or older sibling) can act as moderator, starting the conversation with some prompts then stepping away. Or you could turn it into a game; at each seat place a piece of paper with a question. Each participant can either answer that question or trade it to ask someone else to answer it; keep going through them until everyone has a turn to speak.

Let the kids choose the books they read. Let each member take a turn selecting the book for the next meeting. Part of being in a book club is sharing recommendations. Encourage kids to browse a bookstore or library to spark some ideas. If you get stuck making recommendations you can always ask your librarian or your child’s teacher for suggestions.

Actually, this sounds like fun. I might have to reconsider my stance on book clubs by reminding myself that some people talk about the stories and characters, not about the fact that the very pretty font might actually be illegible on a cover. Now that’s novel.

A few suggestions for books that might be great for Book Club reading for an 8-12 audience:

The son of a zookeeper, he has an encyclopedic knowledge of animal behavior, a fervent love of stories, and practices not only his native Hinduism, but also Christianity and Islam. When Pi is sixteen, his family emigrates from India to North America aboard a Japanese cargo ship, along with their zoo animals bound for new homes. The ship sinks. Pi finds himself alone in a lifeboat, his only companions a hyena, an orangutan, a wounded zebra, and Richard Parker, a 450-pound Bengal tiger. Soon the tiger has dispatched all but Pi, whose fear, knowledge, and cunning allow him to coexist with Richard Parker for 227 days lost at sea. When they finally reach the coast of Mexico, Richard Parker flees to the jungle, never to be seen again. The Japanese authorities who interrogate Pi refuse to believe his story and press him to tell them “the truth.” After hours of coercion, Pi tells a second story, a story much less fantastical, much more conventional — but is it more true?

Living alone creates habits that might not fly in front of other people. After years of it, you may believe you’ll never fit in with someone else’s lifestyle. Some of us may develop these quirks to protect ourselves from dating the wrong person. When the right one came along, I was happy to compromise. Read more in All The Single Ladies.

In a 2012 New York Times story about people who live on their own, Sasha Cagen, founder of a website called Quirkyalone, described making herself dinners of a single sweet potato, while writer Kate Bolick, author of the 2015 book Spinster, confessed that she grazes on nuts and seeds and wears a pair of giant white bloomers. One unmarried woman told the paper, “I’ve been living alone for six years and I’ve gotten quirkier and quirkier,” running in place during commercials, speaking French to herself, and keeping her clothes in the dryer, removing only the items she wants to wear that day. The ability to make unconventional choices about wrinkled wardrobes and seed-scattered pantaloons contribute to what Cagen described as “a freedom to really let loose and be yourself when you live alone that a lot of other people may envy.”

Until the worry sets in that you might not be able to undo your own attachment to independence and its attendant eccentricities. In the years I lived alone, I worried, and was regularly warned, that I was growing more intractable in my habits, becoming so set in my ways that I would never be able to make room for another person.

These anxieties were not entirely misplaced. It is true that when single, I swiftly chased off any men whose threatened disruption of my Saturday mornings, which I set aside for breakfast on my own and a ridiculous apartment-cleaning ritual that involved dancing, I found too irritating to bear. I felt smothered by suitors who called too often, claustrophobic around those who wanted to see me too frequently, and bugged by the ones who didn’t want to try the bars or restaurants I liked to go to, or who pressured me to cut out of work earlier than I wanted to cut out. I got used to doing things my way; I liked doing things my way. These men just mucked it all up. I knew how I sounded, even in my own head: picky, petty, and narcissistic. I worried about the monster of self-interest that I had become.

In retrospect, however, I see that the fierce protection of my space, schedule, and solitude served as a prophylactic against relationships I didn’t really want to be in. Maybe I was too hard on those guys, but I am also certain that I wasn’t very interested in them. I am certain of that because when, after six years without a relationship that lasted beyond three dates, I met a man I was interested in and didn’t think twice about Saturday mornings, about breaking my weirdo routines or leaving work early; I was happy every single time he called.

What is it?

Meizitang is a weight loss diet pill made with plant extracts to help reduce fat absorption in the body. Other claimed benefits are faster fat loss, breakdown of fat tissue, and weight loss for both men and women.

Just one pill a day is needed with an increase of water intake to help aid digestion. It’s advised to avoid use if one has any heart issues or certain medical conditions. Multiple websites are available which claim to offer the real Meizitang. This comprehensive review will go over the possible side effects, quality of ingredients, and whether or not weight loss is possible. A list of the top 10 diet pill supplements has been compiled in this link.

Do You Know the Best Weight Loss Pills of 2016?

Meizitang Ingredients and Side Effects

No official supplements facts list is provided. Websites only mention ingredients without adding the strength of each additive, or what inactive ingredients are added. For unknown reasons, there are multiple websites which claim to offer the real version, but each has slightly different ingredients.

Here are the listed ingredients according to one website:

ZiSu
Oriental Water Plantain
Cassia Seed
Fuling
Medical Amylum

ZiSu:Also known as perilla, this mint like herb is used in Chinese medicine as a way to relieve headaches, vomit, appetite loss, andto provide relief from those suffering from a cold.

Very little information is known about this additive, and the only science performed has been by one Chinese clinical study. This study showed it has anti-asthmatic effects, but there has not been any weight loss studies done.

It’s also unknown what an optimal dose is, or what kinds of side effects are possible.

Oriental Water Plantain:This plant is used to treat urinary tract and bladder disease. Web MD mentions:

“There isn’t enough information to know how water plantain works”

“Water plantain may be UNSAFE and toxic”

Though it’s claimed to help with certain diseases, this has not been proven in quality clinical studies. Also, even websites that claim it has benefits do not mention weight loss as a possibility. A comprehensive top 10 list of the best diet pills is offered via this link.

Cassia Seed: Used in Chinese medicine as a way to promote weight loss and improve eye health. It’s also used as a laxative. It’s yet to be proven as an effective or safe weight loss method. Web MD also ads:

“POSSILY UNSAFE when taken by mouth long-term or in high doses”

“can cause bowels to stop functioning normally and might cause dependence on laxatives”

It can potentially result in liver and heart damage, muscle weakness, loss of electrolytes, and many other damaging effects.

An increase of fluid intake is highly advised when using ingredients like these. Without it, the risk for side effects is significantly increased.

Fuling:This herb is found in Chinese medicine and it’s claimed to have many health benefits with daily use.

It’s a type of fungus. Web MD adds:

“it hasn’t been well researched by scientists”

So it’s unknown if there are any possible side effects, and it’s impossible to determine whether or not it has any weight loss benefits.

Medical Amylum:A complex carbohydrate that can be extracted from many different sources.

It’s intended to expand in the stomach to help reduce appetite. Since it can be extracted from common allergens such as wheat, corn, and other additives, it’s possible for it to cause side effects in those with food allergies.

No information is provided about where the makers of Meizitang source their Medical Amylum. Provided in this link is an expert reviewed list of the best diet pills.

EDITOR’S TIP: Combine this supplement with a proven fat burner such as Sletrokor for better results.

 Meizitang Quality of Ingredients

A major issue exists with the ingredients added to Meizitang. Not only is it unknown whether or not these are the official ingredients, but there are multiple websitesclaiming to offer the real version. It’s unknown if this is a problem due to quality control, or if there have been issues with manufacturing.

Typically, when a diet pill is said to be offered by the real makers, it’s because it’s an imported pill which is not very well researched. Companies outside of the US will market their diet pill supplements to consumers in the US without having any strict manufacturing practices or GMP certification. This means that there is no safety observance or 3rd party oversight to make sure one is taking a diet pill made in a clean and safe environment.

None of these websites mention the exact dosage strength, and there are slight differences in what the official ingredients are.

Some list additional additives. It’s important to note that none of these ingredients are heavily studied. Some don’t even have any claimed weight loss benefits; they’re often added to help treat symptoms. It’s unknown what kind of ingredients are added and whether or not they are safe to take. Due to this major concern, it’s impossible to determine the overall quality. There are serious safety concerns and a lack of important information provided.

This is not a good sign and it shows that there is a lackof accountability on the overall effectiveness and safety. All diet pills sold are not being overseen by a reputable 3rd party to ensure strength, purity, cleanliness, and overall safety.The top 10 list featured here has the highest ranked diet pill supplements.

The Price and Quality of Meizitang

One website claiming to offer the real version of Meizitang sells it for $24.99, though shipping is $15.00 per bag. This is for a 12 capsule serving, which at one a day amounts to 12 days of Meizitang.

Without being able to determine what the ingredient strength and what’s actually inside, it’s not possible to determine the quality.

The claimed ingredients have not been thoroughly studied however, and it’s unknown what kinds of side effects it may produce. Most of the ingredients have also not been tested to show any weight loss benefits. No money back return policy is offered on any website either.  This makes all sales final even if one were to experience side effects.

 Business of Meizitang

The owners are known as the TopLife International Co. LTD company. Their contact details are listed as

Phone Number: 86-0755-089716578

Address: Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province China (Mainland)

There isn’t much available information about the company. The FDA did send 2 warning letters to consumers however. They stated:

“Consumers should stop using this product immediately and throw it away”

“FDA laboratoryanalysesconfirmed… contains sibutramine”

“sibutramine is known to substantially increase blood pressure and/or pulse rate”

“product may also interact, in life-threatening ways”

This notice was sent out after 2 of the company’s brands were found to be contaminated. These contaminations are potentially fatal, and it’s unknown if Meizitang is tested and studied enough to be safe.

Sibutramine is often added to imported Chinese diet pill supplements as a way to boost weight loss. Since this ingredient is only prescribed, taking it in unknown amounts via diet pills can be incredibly risky. A top 10 list of the best diet pills is featured when you click here.
