On the Lips and off the Hips
Can Lip Gloss Help You Loose Weight
After having a piece of cheesecake or a big, calorie-laden dinner, many of us say, “from the lips straight to the hips.” Pacific Shore Holdings, based in Los Angeles, hopes to change that saying to “on the lips and off the hips.” They have created a product that they say “burns fat simply” by applying it to your lips.
Burner Balm is a flavored lip balm that promises to suppress your appetite, keep you alert, boost your energy level, and speed up your metabolism when applied 4-6 times daily.
In addition to its weight loss properties, Burner Balm has an SPF of 30, which can protect your lips from the damaging effects of UV-B (the ultraviolet radiation that causes sunburn).
Created by Dr. Allan Kurtz, who is Board Certified in Internal Medicine, Burner Balm contains Hoodia extract, chromium picolinate, L-Carnitine, green tea extract, and caffeine—all of which aid in appetite reduction and increasing energy; the caffeine provides the extra benefit of added alertness, and green tea extract also assists in speeding up metabolism. Dr. Kurtz said he created Burner Balm after realizing that two major complaints he heard often from his patients were that they had a “hard time loosing weight and controlling their appetite” and that they were always tired.
Dr. Kurtz wanted to address his patients’ frustrations and reach their goals while offering a safe and healthy alternative to the numerous pills and supplements on the market for weight loss.
Burner Balm works on the principle that by putting all of these natural ingredients into a lip balm, they can be absorbed directly into the bloodstream, which in turn results in added energy, appetite control, weight loss, and overall health and wellness. The lip balm’s manufacturer assures its customers that Burner Balm is completely safe if you lick your lips while wearing it; there are no harmful side effects from ingestion.
The ingredients in Burner Balm have been used in many products over the years and have a strong track record of being effective dietary supplements. When combined with a regular exercise regimen, using Burner Balm can actually assist in fat reduction because one of the ingredients—chromium picolinate—has been shown to help your body burn fat and carbohydrates.
In addition to its appetite-suppressing, energy-boosting, and fat-burning ingredients, Burner Balm contains pure soy oils and Shea butter, which will moisturize lips and prevent dryness and chapping. Burner Balm comes in five flavors—pomegranate, vanilla, strawberry, acai berry, and mint. The lip balm’s manufacturer says that it’s safe to apply Burner Balm up to six times a day, but cautions that it’s not a good idea to use it close to bedtime because the caffeine in it could keep you awake at night. Burner Balm is colorless and can be applied either alone or under lipstick.
