It features ingredients like grapefruit, caffeine, green tea, and an extract from Garcinia Cambogia.<\/p>\n<p>The official website states \u201cMany celebrities having been using the same ingredients\u201d. They offer the promise that it will help one begin looking like a celebrity. There are also 3 before and after photos offered on the official website which reveal significant weight loss.

Caffeine is not considered a long lasting weight loss ingredient as Examine.com adds:<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cHabitual caffeine use leads to tolerance.
