Is Brazilian Slim Weight Loss A Myth?

BRAZILIAN SLIM
When talk gets around to the country Brazil, two things immediately spring to mind—soccer and hot shapely Latinas clad in skimpy bikinis.  It is the latter image that is probably conjured in the minds of people when they come across the Brazilian diet pill Brazilian Slim or Cha De Bugre.

It should not come as a surprise that the advertising and packaging of this weight loss supplement indeed feature just the image mentioned above.  Needless to say, this is meant to give people the idea that the supplement is supposed to transform a user’s body into something similar to what is seen in the pictures.  Unfortunately, it is all part of the promotional hype for this product.  The maker of Brazilian Slim does not provide consumers with scientific evidence to prove that it helps users slim down, much less achieve a bikini-perfect body.

A book by a certain Dr. C.L. Cruz is used as the reference for the ingredients used in the product although the specific components are not really identified.  The book simply states that the Brazilian Slim formula is a combination of various Brazilian plant extracts.

In the book, Dr. C.L. Cruz writes that the product not only aids in weight loss but stimulates blood circulation as well, although he fails to include scientific proof to back this up.  We ourselves have not come across any double-blind study that proves Dr. Cruz’s claims.  Based on this lack of credible scientific documentation to support the product, we believe we have reason to doubt its quality and effectiveness.  What is interesting is that there is something else that consumers need to know about.

Unscrupulous Practices
Brazilian Slim launched a 7-day free trial campaign and this gave us more reason to question it.  According to reliable sources, diet pill companies that engage in such promotional gimmicks only intend to steal credit card information in order to drain consumers’ funds.  We believe that this kind of information should only be entrusted to reputable credit card processors such as Paypal or Moneybookers.  Consumers should be wary of companies that request for their credit card number in exchange for a free product sample.  It would be best to simply skip the offer.

Brazilian slim is an appetite reduction supplement that helps increase the metabolism.. Along with weight loss, it claims to also help you find nutrition and diet balance. The clinical trials cited are not generally recognized by any us government agency.  There is no money back guarantee of any kind, although the consumer has the option of ordering a seven day free trial as long as they pay $8. Brazilian slim contains all natural ingredients.

Our Verdict
Do not let the great looking babes in the ads fool you, BrazilianSlim/Cha de Bugre/Brazilian Jungle is not a legitimate weight loss supplement.  It is not sold in most drug stores and the literature about it does not contain credible information.  Much of its attraction lies on the stereotyped ideas people have about Brazilian women.  Without this and the attractive images, Brazilian Slim has nothing substantial to offer in terms of weight loss.
