Skinny Fast, a popular product found on most major third party retailer websites, is meant to help you to lose weight and achieve the greater fat burning results you are looking for.  They claim that it will provide safe and effective results, and they also provide you with a Natural Max diet plan to accompany it.  The question is, is the diet plan any good, and is it the diet plan or the supplement actually helping you to lose weight?

The question also becomes, how does it work?  It seems like a simple enough question in general.  This formula starts out with chitosan.  Derived from crustaceans, chitosan can be an effective fat blocker in general, meaning greater potential benefits.  Therefore, you would expect that chitosan could be the right ingredient.  But as we have found with Alli, a fat blocker can only at best compliment a good diet plan, not make up for a bad one.

Then they use garcinia cambogia.  This is actually a valid ingredient.  Garcinia cambogia can burn more fat, and without using stimulants or other potentially harmful ingredients.  In essence, this could give you the results you are actually looking for.  However, it requires about 1500mg, which is a high amount for any ingredient.  They have 300mg.

You can go into other ingredients.  For example, bitter orange is a bigger ingredient that includes the active ingredient known as synephrine.  Synephrine is supposed to be the ultimate alternative to ephedra.  And it can be.  It can burn fat, suppress appetite, and produce other results all at the same time.  But to do that, it has to have at least 250mg of synephrine.  While they have 334mg of bitter orange extract, they only have 20mg of actual synephrine.

Their other ingredients have no relation to weight loss at all.  They have l-carnitine which is an amino acid and chromium.  Chromium has been proven to promote weight loss in one study with 200mcg and athletes.  All other studies have failed to promote any results.  But of course, they ignore this fact entirely.  These are helpful ingredients in some ways, they just don’t apply to weight loss.

We would not recommend bothering with Skinny Fast.  It will not actually help you to lose weight or get any other results at all.  This formula is made up of poor amounts and in some cases poor ingredients in general.  There are without question better options out there.  It is just a matter of actually finding them. However, if you are too stuck on Skinny Fast, you will not.
