February 19, 2008 # 4:07 pm # Fat Burning Pills # 53 CommentsLipozene 1500 mg Diet Pill – A Sensational Scam!
Daily I get atleast 20 people searching for Lipozene / Lipocene / Lypozene diet pills. I don’t know whether they come here searching for reviews or to buy Lipozene. I am sure TV Commercials made them to search for Lipozene.
This made me to find out whose product Lipozene is, what this weight loss product is made of and How it works etc. But I could not contact anyone who has used Lypozene.
Who Is behind Lipozene?
The Obesity Research Institute, run by Henny Den Uijl and Bryan Corlett, is the maker of Lipozene. In 2005, the Federal Trade Commission fined these men and ORI $1.5 million for misleading claims about their fiber, weight loss products viz., FiberThin and Propolene.
Ingredients of Lipozene 1500 mg
Lipozene’s main ingredient is Propol, which is company’s trademarked name for glucomannan which is nothing but a soluble fiber found in konjac root.
Glucomannan is the Western name for vegetable fibers derived from an Asian plant family known as konjac.
How Glucomannan works?
According to a study done by the Rush University College of Nursing in Chicago in 2005 “Glucomannan may promote weight loss. At doses of 2-4 g per day, Glucomannan was well-olerated and resulted in significant weight loss in overweight and obese individuals”
According to Drug Digest “Glucomannan does not dissolve in water, but forms a thick, gooey gel when exposed to fluids. The body does not digest glucomannan, so the resulting large soft mass moves through the intestines and may trigger intestinal muscle contractions.”
Glucomannan Side Effects
According to Drug Digest “Glucomannan tablets are not recommended for oral use. Reportedly, several individuals experienced blockage of the esophagus when they took glucomannan in tablet form.”
User Feedback
All these frightened me and I started searching online for user feedback online in various forums and comments for different articles on Lipocene. Though most were negative, I got many positive comments also. Don’t know whether they are true or just spams.
Negative comments said ” It results in diarrhea and cramps, loss of sleep, vomiting etc”
But I could not contact anyone personally who has used Lypozene.
Buy lipocene?
Even after reading this if you want to go for lypozene it is your choice! Price $29.95 for one bottle ( there is buy one get one free offer)
But take plenty of water to minimize side effects.
Recommendation
I do not endorse lipozene whose main ingredient is fiber. Instead you have easier and cheaper ways to get fiber into your diet by consuming high fiber fruits, vegetables, legumes and grains.
But if you serious about losing weight you can go for anyone of the following weigh loss products which I think are fairly good and proved.
- Proactol : This is a clinically proven fat binder that can aid safe weight loss. Now it has announced special discount e-vouchers that make Proactol very much affordable. Read Proactal Review and E-vouchers

Lipozene makes me down
Dont taste that shit!
I ordered the Lipozene pills, but after reading about it– now I am scared. I will send them back to get my money back. I should have read about it first
I find it a little difficult to trust something which has so many grammatical errors! Now, while I do understand your point about fiber I do not agree! The whole point about “lipozene” is the fact in which they do not recommend you changing your eating habits (which granted, is not going to help in the long run, but hey)…also, you have to consider the fact that some people have trouble with carbs and let’s face it, buying fiber is NOT CHEAP! I have never used this product and I will probably will not; however, if you are going to argue it’s bad side you should consider pointing why and other alternatives besides “eat fruits and vegetable”. A nice chunk of your fiber comes from carbs even though fruits and veggies do contain them, they do not contain enough for your daily value.
On the water comment….it is common sense and most people know fiber can make you constipated id you do not drink plenty of water. It goes without saying many things inside one’s body works properly and more sufficiently due to water intake. Therefore, water should be consumed in high quantities daily without question.
I took lipozene for about four/five weeks I did not notice any weight loss at all. But I did experence really bad cramping in my legs and chest the cramps in my leg got so bad it ripped the muscle and caused pain and cracking in the bone in front of my knee which is still badly brused 4 weeks later the cramping and tearing pain in my calf was so bad I could not walk for two weeks and was on crushes and had to keep my leg elivated all the time. I would not recoment this product someone should look into this more. has anyone elce experenced this cramping and tearing of the muscles. thanks marie
Don’t take Lipozene, it’s a very well known fact that it’s a scam (like most of diet pills out there). If you want to succeed in weight loss, you need to change the way you eat (not to starve!) and add physical exercise. It’s a no brainer really. I understand that people don’t have time to exercise, but come on! At least on weekends you can take half an hour and do some walking, if not running.
It’s not that difficult; you just have to move away from that couch and TV.
after reading about lipozene i am really scared i have are ready taking 8 pills i will send for my money back the fourth pill i got sick and it did look like a sponge i was scared to pick it up i thought this would be the ideal diet for me but i guess not .
First of all, common sense will tell you that no pill works by itself. I found Lipozene to be very helpful. I have lost 20 pounds not just using Lipozene, but a healthy diet and regular exercise. As in any diet, keep your doctor up to date. I am pleased with Lipozene and I do exactly as it tells me to. Take 30 minutes before each meal. Sam’s club sells 2 bottles for $28.
walmart sells it for 19.88 fr 2 bottles
Unlike all the reviews Ihave heard as people constantly bash this company. I am now taking Lipozene and It works!!! I have lost 6 pounds within the 2 weeks that I have been taking it. My nephew who was way overweight took Lipozene for 4 months and lost 75 lbs. and has manage to keep the weight off. The weight never came back even after a year of not taking Lipozene.
I started this about a week ago, and I have lost 4 lbs., so that part is good. But I have started getting really bad leg cramps in my lower calf area. They are so bad that today I could hardly walk. No chest pain or any other alarming side effects, but I’m afraid of a blood clot or something! Has anyone else experienced leg cramps with this?
well idk wat 2 do just got these pill but so scared wit all this bad talk about im scraed 2 even open up the bottles. but i guess ima have 2 try 2 figure out wat it do……….hope it work!!!!!
I have started Lipozene three weeks ago and I have lost a total of 17 lbs. I am a big person to begin with but I started at 273 and I am at 256. I follow the directions to the last word. I do not feel any side effects and I have plenty of energy. Although I will say that I have broken out more than usual since then. But either have acne or a lot of weight, I choose the weight. Hope this helps!
I am on week four now and I am down to 247. The breaking-out has eased up and I still feel no side effects. Please do not think that this is a miracle pill, it is not. You still have to do your part, but I haven’t put as much effort into it either. I walk three times a week for 1.5 miles, I eat no fried foods, I cut down on sugar and I drink the suggested amount of water needed. I plan on keeping up with this, just to prove to others if it works or not. Good luck to everyone else! I am finally losing it!
This is good, but and where can i buy them?
I am now on week seven and I am down to 239. I haven’t been this weight since 03′. I am pretty much all watered out by now, but I am feeling good. Excercise is key!
lelu26 must be some employee at Lipozene. I tried Lipozene for one month and lost only 2 pounds. But I think, I lost 2 pounds due to less eating.
I doubt, how some one can lose 26 lbs in 4 weeks using Lipozene when it hasn’t helped me to lose any weight in one month?
No I am not an employee of Lipozene… I am a mother of 3 and I live in Houston, TX. If you would like a personal chat, let me know and I will be more than happy to chat with you. I am now down to 232. It is slowing down but I am still going. I have no idea of why it is not working for you Elissa but like I said before, it is not a majical pill. I have been working really hard at losing the weight. I workout three times a week but running/walking 2 miles each time. I do floor exercises while watching tv or jump on trampoline while doing that also. Hey I am just like everyone else trying to drop the lbs so I need encouragement too. If you would like to know more about me, just ask; I will be as honest as possible.
Hi, lelu26
I am so glad you posted this. I am a mother of 4,yrs old and just took my first pill.
I have about lbs to lose i wil exercise to .
thanks jenny
I have taken lipozene for approximately 3 weeks. I HAD to try these pills after seeing them so much on TV.
I eat a low calorie diet and also exercise 3-4 times per week on a treadmill. Lelu26 and I have had about the same results, we both are averaging losing between 4-5 pounds per week. I started at 239.0 lbs and now weigh 225.2 lbs.
I have not experienced any cramps or anything else others have mentioned. As to those that say they have not lost weight on this, are you ALSO dieting and exercising? (I seriously doubt it) It amazes me how many people think a pill will just make you skinny. It’s Lipozene people, not Meth-amphetamine. All it does is combats hunger pangs and prevents you from bingeing. If you REALLY want to lose the weight, you have to realize there is NO miracle “pill” (legally without a prescription anyway). You have to change your lifestyle and eating habits.
I have to agree with the original article author. You can do THE SAME THING with making sure you get plenty of fiber in your diet. When I use the last of this bottle, I will not be purchasing any. (Never bought it as someone gave me two bottles) While it did help me with hunger pangs, it’s really not worth the money. It is ALOT cheaper to buy fiber filled veggies, grains and cereals etc… Spend that money on fresh veggies and go outside and get some exercise.
While Lipozene did help suppress appetite, it did not change my diet outcome. I am still losing the same amount of weight per week. Nothing that diet and exercise alone will not accomplish without wasting your money.
Good luck to all!
Congrats to you Jeff! I am happy to see that someone else sees the progress that I do. I have said time and time again that this is not a miracle pill and it does have to be worked on. I do agree with you though, I am on my last bottle and will not buy another due to the fact that I am sure I will continue to lose as long as I stay with what I am doing now. (Working out, counting calories, drinking plenty of water). You are correct about supressing my appetite, that is what I needed. I have lost quite a bit of weight (228 lbs from 273) and I feel great. I can’t remember the last time I could tie my shoes bending down instead of stretching for the laces in a sitting position or my jeans cutting into my side from being too tight. I love myself again and I don’t plan on stopping. For those of you that say that you have taken Lipozene and have not seen results, I hope you get to your weight loss someday.
Jenny… congrats on taking the first step. Good luck and I am always wishing the best for you and anyone else that would like the encouragement. Remember, you have to work on losing it. With a four yr old, you should have plenty of exercise running around the house and playing outside with the child. Another thing that helps me is keeping a journal of what I take in on a daily basis. You will be amazed on how much that helps. Good luck and drink a lot of water.
