Jillian Michaels Maximum Strength Fat Burner Review

Introduction

Jillian Michaels is well known for her role in television and in the general fitness world. Now, she has lent her name and her endorsement to the Jillian Michaels Maximum Strength Fat Burner supplement that claims to be able to drastically change your life. All fat burners will do this in one way or another, but the amount of aggressive advertising that has gone into promoting this project is a little above and beyond what most people would call normal.

The Hook

The main hook that this product has over most people is the name that is behind it. A lot of people will see a beautiful and fit woman like Jillian Michaels and assume that any product that has her name on it must be an effective product. If this sounds like the reaction that you’ve had, check yourself for a moment. With the high expense per month of this product, you can’t afford to rush headlong into this particular purchase.

The Ingredients

You can always tell the effectiveness of any weight loss product by taking a close look at the ingredients that make it up. The pills included in this product are primarily made up of two different proprietary blends. The amount of each ingredient present within those blends is not disclosed, but the actual ingredients that are present are known.

The impressive ingredients on the list are synephrine, coffee bean extract and guarana. All of the other ingredients included in this product are not ingredients that have any significant effect on the final outcome. If there is a reason to purchase this product, it would have to be within one of these three ingredients because all of the others at best are supporting ingredients and at worst are just tossed in for appearances.

Coffee bean extract and guarana are both natural sources of caffeine. Caffeine is easily one of the best ingredients for burning fat because of the thermogenic properties that it has. In other words, it has the ability to stimulate the body into burning fat. The presence of caffeine in reasonably large quantities in this pill is encouraging, but on its own is not enough to validate purchasing this product for the high price that it commands.

This analysis leaves synephrine as the last hope for giving this product a positive review. The synephrine ingredient has long been thought of as a substitute for ephedrine that did not have the same deleterious side effects, but to this date the research has not really validated that point. There is no reason to believe that synephrine has the same abilities as ephedrine and therefore no reason to believe that this product will do as well as a product that still contains ephedrine.

Final Thoughts

This product will act as a mild stimulant that will make you feel good and energized throughout the day. However, you can get that same effect from other products that are far cheaper than this one. It seems to be riding more on the fame and popularity of Jillian Michaels more than anything else.

Thursday, 02 February 2012

Didn't check in during the weekend. Saturday I hit the bike trails 4 hours ..... wow, I wasn't even tired and after jumped in the lake for half an hour of swimming. Like I said before I beloved its a mood enhancer and does give me energy. No pounds lost but many ppl have been saying I look thinner. Also noticed that my muscles look leaner and tone. I am starting to think this is a great pill for those that want to tone not loose. I am gonna quit for now since a friend got me hcg shots. So I am gonna try hcg so I can loose lbs then return to these pills to tone up. Overall I am happy to have stayed on them this long. I know why now those ppl that have tried them were discouraged the first week. Overall its a good pill again to tone muscle but not for fatloss. Guess I will check into this forum in like a month since the shots are for 30 days. .....

Jillian Michaels Maximum Strength Fat Burner Review

Friday, 27 January 2012

Hello everyone, I've started taking these weight loss pills because a friend and I are on a two week weight loss challenge. We've been loosing weight, and I'm happy to say that before I started the pills I'm down close to 50 pounds. The more I loose the harder it is to keep loosing, so we decided to try these. I'm almost done the first week, and I noticed a difference in weight loss withing a couple days. I already eat well and have an exercise regime, so that's already under control. The only complaint I have is that the amount of caffeine in it has caused me to have restless sleeps, and I've been tossing and turning since the first day. I started on a Sunday and by Wendesday, due to the lack of sleep and amount of caffeine, I started to crash. This may also be from the shift work that I've been put onto, so I wont blame it all on the pill.

Yes... I started getting energy and have been more alert on jillian michaels pills, but for those that want high energy and love to eat try zantrex-3 on those pills you definitely have to eat. I triedvthem years ago and lost 20 lb in two months. But since the energy was too much I would wake up in the middle of the night and excercise it would scare me because the energy. So my approach now to loose my baby weight was to find something else that's less intense.

Saturday, 14 January 2012

I made a mistake I meant *meds not medal..... I started the burn and cleanse and I do admit that I did gain 2 lbs. When I started I weighed 178 after taking the pills I weighed 180. I actually wanted to give up(which is natural instint.) But I work at a doctors office (billing depth.)and normally the doctor tells patients that on certain meds it takes 2 weeks until the meds. Begin to kick in. So I am done with the burn and cleanse, bought the maximum fat burner and am on the second week on them (total 4 weeks when you include the burn and cleanse) and have dropped 5 lbs. Honestly I've taken the burn and cleanse last year didn't see results and stopped.. I bought this again (since it was on special) and am trying to stick with it. I will try and check back in and let you know my results. I am actually sending my comments thru my android phone. This is my second time responding and have never commented to a post.

Just because an individual is taking a diet pill does not mean that automatically you will lose weight. These supplements are diet aide supplements. Meaning it will aide only when combined with proper diet and excercise. Not only that most people will not see results the first couple of days until by the next two weeks. Remember your body has to adjust and most things don't come into effect after the second week. That's why it's very crucial to change your lifestyle. I mean after a while of changing medal your upsetting your body, internal organs and well-being..

I know all about nutrition, exercise, stress management, sleep ect. & have been practicing this for years. These are the first diet pills I have tried and let me just say, my cravings are gone, I am drinking more water (without even thinking about it), I have more energy to exercise & keep up with my busy schedule, I'm sleeping better, my mood has improved and I have lost 2 pounds in 2 days. I was afraid to take them but they've given me the edge I've been needing to get off my plateau and get going again! Thanks Jillian. I probably won't try any other diet pills & don't plan on using these pills long term. My goal is to lose 10-15 pounds with taking the pills correctly, eating healthy, exercise, stress management, sleep, etc.

I did the detox/fat burner program - I finish tomorrow. I have lost nothing - in fact my stomach looks bigger than before. I put on pants that I wore on Monday (the first day of the Fat Burner program) and they fit fine, but by Friday (the fifth day), they were tighter on me. Sort of wondering if I should get my thyroid checked since that runs in the family.

I started taking the pills and was pleased at first, but started getting extreme headaches. I thought it was coincidence. Over a period of 3 months, every time I would take the pills within days I would have extreme headaches. Even if I only took one dose. One time I even was taken to the ER and had to have an IV with pain meds and fluids because the pain was so severe I couldn't get off the floor (this happened twice but only went in once). I finally figured out that the one common factor was the pills...stopped taking them and no more headaches!! Unfortunately I spend a lot of money in medical pills (I even had a CT Scan, MRI, and saw a Neurologist!) Will not take these pills again, and don't recommend them....its sad because I like Jillian and I did see a loss at the beginning, but it isn't worth it!

No Go for me

I tried them and felt very anxious and bloated. I have about 10 pounds to lose, and didn't lose a single pound. I exercise and eat healthy. I would not recommend these. Waste of money.

Do you think

Monday, 20 June 2011

I just purchased these and realized they are in a red capsul. do you think i would be able to take them out of the capsul and put it in pudding to eat. the reason for this is i am allergic to red dyes and seeing how the capsul is red i cant take it

The cleanse didn't work for me and in fact, did the opposite. I started the fat burners a few days ago and so far, so good. Jittery the first day but not awful and it was over by the next day. I already work out but thanks to the fat burners I was able to tack on an extra hour of exercise each day. We'll see if I actually lose any weight.
Elicia makes this comment

These pills DO work.

Friday, 18 February 2011

I completely agree with what Rachel said. You HAVE to eat right, and exercise in order to lose weight! I have been using P90X for 6 weeks now, in addition to beginning a lower carb diet. I definitely saw a change in my muscle tone, but nothing on the scale. I saw the fat burner pills at the store, and decided "what the heck" and picked them up. I have been on them for one week, and I finally have seen a drop in pounds. I started out fluctuating between 130 and 134 pounds, and now I'm down to between 125 and 128 pounds (depending on the time of day i weigh myself) There is NO MIRACLE PILL that will make you drop pounds effortlessly, but with a little work.. these pills do the trick. Something someone once said to me that i'd like to share, is... it didn't take you a week to gain all that weight.. so what would make you think you're going to lose it all that fast? Time.. hard work.. and dedication are what will help you succeed. i'd also like to note, I have lost a total of 24 pounds in the last year. yes, it's a slow loss.. but everyone I know that went on crash diets, tried pills or did something crazy and lost a bunch of weight fast.. gained it right back. Now I sit with the most progess and the biggest smile out of all of us... because I am the one with REAL results.. that won't come back the next time I drink a glass of water or eat a brownie. Just something to think about.
Amanda makes this comment

good so far

Sunday, 13 February 2011

i gained a lot of weight while i was pregnant, and really struggled to lose anything. i've been taking these pills for 2 weeks, along with a diet and exercise plan. So far i've lost 6 pounds since taking them.

Saturday, 13 November 2010

I am on my second bottle of Fat Burn and I love it. Finally something that I see results! My curves are coming back and my meal portions are getting smaller without me having an empty stomach at night. It's nice to see the results and feel better about myself.

These supplements work!

Wednesday, 03 November 2010

I have tried these pills and this is my basic review. I ordered the Extreme Fat Burner pills from Amazon. They arrived within a few days. The pills gave me energy and reduced my appetite. I found that I was able to easily handle longer, harder workouts. I lost 15 pounds within 3 weeks, and that was due to the supplements, exercising 3 days a week, and eating healthy (no fast food or soda). I would recommend these supplements to any woman out there!
Stephanie makes this comment

It is not bad

Monday, 04 October 2010

To be honest i thought they were really good! I started taking the starter pack(2 weeks) and then when i was done i lost about 4 LBS. Then took the fat burner pills for about 2 weeks and in total for about 4 weeks i lost 10 lbs all together. I like them alot. Side effects that i got was the first couple of days i would feel kinda sick in the stomache and throw up but after the 5 th day i felt normal again even when i was still taking the pills.
Betsy makes this comment

Still waiting....

Tuesday, 21 September 2010

Tomorrow I will have been on the fat burner pills for one week. But I am only taking a quarter of the dose. I have yet to lose any lbs. But I am exercising and eating better so I can only assume it will show some results eventually in conjunction with the diet and exercise. I will probably increase dosage soon, just afraid it's going to keep me up all night long!! This is my first experience with diet pills and since its very mild I am satisfied so far! Def gives me the energy I have been looking for!
lots to lose makes this comment

I really like it

Friday, 17 September 2010

I have been off my diet and exercise for about 3 weeks now. Decided to try the pills by themselves to see if they really work. Didn't change my eating habits at all. Tried the 1 week starter pack with the calorie control and the fat burner. It's only day 4 and have lost 2.5 pounds. I notice that if I take the pills 15 minutes before eating, but then don't end up eating for awhile I get lightheaded and queasy. So I have to make sure I'm set to eat within 20-25 minutes of taking these. So far much better results than any other diet pills by themselves. When I start back on diet and exercise I'm sure the results will be greater, but 2.5 pounds without changing a thing is pretty substantial. I'm buying the full sizes when my trial pack is empty.

Hoping to lose a 1/2 pound a day. we will see. I'll keep you posted in a month...

i'm still shocked that Jillian would put her name on a phony fat loss pill. there is no quick fix people. all of you complaining that it doesnt work, glad you found out the hard way. the ONLY effective way is through diet and exercise. no other way around it.

Rachel makes this comment

Read the label, it works if you use it c

Friday, 30 July 2010

First of all, yes she promotes losing weight naturally. This is a completely natural product. Second, it clearly says to follow a diet and exercise program, although it does not specify. I have been taking these pills for a couple months now and I have to say yes they make a difference. I go to the gym for an hour before dinner and walk at least 2 miles or mow the yard or something similar every night. Before the pills, very little change and what I lost I gained right back. With the pills, what comes off, stays off. On our trip to Vegas, I did not watch what I ate and other than walking got no exercise and I gained absolutely NO WEIGHT. My husband, however, gained 10 lbs. I used the pills and he didn't. He has now started using them too. There is no miracle cure. You have to work for it. These just help and make it a little easier.
Jayne Leveke makes this comment

Wednesday, 14 July 2010

I lost 10 lbs I did the detox with the fat burners I did this for two weeks! I really didn't exercise but I did end up eating better and It helped me make more smart choices with my food plus after drinking all of that water I didnt feel hungry all of the time. I also didnt eat after 8 o'clock. so all in all i had great success with this product! :)

Not worth the money

I took the whole bottle as directed, continued with my diet and exercise program and lost nothing. I felt nothing either. No side effects at all. Didn't lose any inches, and no weight loss. Not worth the money!

I am not a fan of diet pills, but decided to try Jillian's fat burner. I am not taking the full recommended dosage, only half. One in the a.m. adnone in the early afternoon. I started them in February. I am 5'6 and was weighing 198 pounds. I am now weighing 175 pds. 22 pounds gone!! I'm not complaining, 'cause i'm not spending my nights at the gym. Do I excercise, not much, but I'm no longer stuffing my face with everything in sight either. I believe it's different results for different people. As for me, I like the pills.

well im 15 and i used the product and i lost about 15 pounds within 2 weeks and a half. I did alot of diet and exercise in conjuction with using the pill but the pill did give me the boot of energy that i need to continue working out. i think this is a great product.

Leigh makes this comment

Not Sure Yet

Friday, 19 March 2010

Reading all the post made me see that the product seems to be working for people. My problem is I am getting the same results that I was getting with the green tea fat burner and it is alot cheaper. I do not go to the gym I workout at home so the discipline is there and I am very motivated. I think that the main ingredients to good weight loss is eating healthy and a a workout that consist of cardio and weights (especially for women). I do The Firm and it gets me sweating pill or no pill. But I do agree that the pills give you a boost of energy.

typical

This is typical of most over the counter "fat burners." Most of them are over-priced and little more than caffeine pills.
