We all know how hard it is to keep up with the Kardashians. But we’re one step closer now that Kim, the middle sister of the Kardashian crew, has let us in on her diet secret – the Quick Trim burn and cleanse. That is, if the variety of Quick Trim products – a supplement shake, a cleanse product, cellulite reducing gel and at least two herbal supplements – actually do work.
Here’s the real deal with Quick Trim: it’s a concoction of powerful stimulants, laxatives, and diuretics, or as they call them, supplements that you can pick up at your local drug store.
The Burn and Cleanse 14 Day Diet System, which Kim endorses, relies on caffeine, two doses of 400 milligrams to be exact. The supplements also include black pepper and white willow bark extract, which are known to increase the caffeine’s affect on your metabolism. Hence the BURN effect.
During the evening is when you begin to cleanse yourself, or in other words, flush your system with herbs that promote bowel movements. You’ll also take the Iso-Flush during this time, which is designed to reduce the water in your body with more herbs. The main concerns most doctors have with this product are the stress on the cardio vascular system because of the caffeine levels and dehydration as a result of the herbal laxative and limited use of salt.
Additional components of the diet include a fiber-rich fast cleanse that you’ll drink before meals consisting of clear soups, gelatin, fruits, and vegetables. As well as an Extreme Burn including more caffeine and herbs.
It’s hard to put your finger on the diet’s benefits, since clinical trials have yet to be performed. But there are studies detailing the adverse effects these featured herbs have on the body. For example the white willow bark extract and green tea extract can increase blood pressure. And Juniper berry, and horsetail extract have been linked to kidney failure and liver damage.
As with committing to any new diet, it’s always best to speak with your doctor – especially before trying to keep up with Kim Kardashian, who also works out with celebrity trainer Gunnar Peterson 5 times a week. Kim is also sure to allow herself diet cheats from time to time, and if she wants a milk shake, she’ll go ahead and indulge.
