#AZSPORT Waist Trimmer Review (Tomoson)

Disclaimer: This post contains Amazon Affiliate Links.





I received the AZSPORT Waist Trimmer, in exchange for honest review from Tomoson. The trimmer helps with weight loss and back support. I could not wear the trimmer for more than a few hours.

One issue, I had was the velcro piece by the az sport logo, seen in the pic above, came off. I was adjusting the trimmer and pulled on the wrong piece and it came off. Since the other part is still velcro, I was able to still use the trimmer without any issues.

I used the trimmer when working out or cleaning up around the house. I even wore the trimmer under my clothes to the grocery store. It helped me when I passed and ate some of the sample foods.

You can purchase the trimmer, using the link above. The trimmer is prime-eligible.

Slim Quick Protein Review (Tomoson)

Disclaimer: This post contains Amazon Affiliate Links.



I received Slim Quick Protein Vanilla Flavor, in exchange for honest review from Tomoson. I started back exercising and trying to get back in shape. I never tried protein powder before and wanted to try it.

The product does taste good. At first, my kids lost my original shaker bottle and I was mixing the powder with a spoon in water, which can leave some clumps. I finally got a new shaker bottle (also for review coming soon) and it was easier to mix together.

You take some protein powder in the morning and again at night. The slim quick also comes in chocolate, in addition to vanilla.

Slim quick is made from bio pure green tea, which helps women lose 3x the weight versus dieting alone. The powder does contain natural ingredients such as calcium and antioxidants.

You can purchase the powder at Wal-Mart (which I have seen there), Wal-Greens, CVS, Rite Aid, Target, K-Mart, Publix, and Krogers. You also can purchase the Slimquick Pure Slimquick Pure Protein Powder Chocolate 300g, 300 Gram and other Slim Quick products on Amazon.

Liquid Garcinia Cambogia Review (Tomoson)

Disclaimer: This post contains Amazon Affiliate Links.



I received Garcinia Cambogia Liquid Diet Drops , in exchange for honest review from Tomoson. I have tried Garcnia before in pill form. The pills are so big, that I can't take them too  long. When I saw a liquid formula, I was happy to review the product.

First, the Garcinia helps you lose weight. The taste is also sweet. You take a few drops to help suppress your appetite, which can lead to weight loss. The product also contains green coffee beans.

According to WebMD, Green Coffee Beans are Coffee beans, which have not been roasted yet. The website also says green coffee beans contain higher levels of Chlorogenic acid, which may have health benefits for weight loss, diabetes, and heart disease.

I liked the liquid Garcinia for the taste and it does help suppress appetite. I love to snack and some days, I lack control. The garcinia has helped me control my appetite, when I do use it.

You can purchase the product on Amazon, using the link above. Garcinia is prime-eligible.

Green Tea Hawaii Review (Tomoson)




I received Green Tea Hawaii, in exchange for honest review from Tomoson. Green Tea Hawaii is single serve, water enhancer sticks. I received various flavors. Some of the flavors included: 

  1. Mocha
  2. Raspberry Lemonade
  3. POG
  4. Coconut Dream
  5. Pineapple strawberry
  6. Original
  7. Mango
  8. Molokai Melon
Similar to other water enhancers, you add the powder to your water and shake. The crystals in Green Tea Hawaii are smaller and will require a few extra seconds of shaking. 


BENEFITS 

The main ingredient of Green Tea Hawaii is Green Tea. The benefits include weight loss, increased energy, improved bone strength, and improved teeth strength. I have noticed I have gained some energy after drinking some. It wasn't much but it gave me a boost to finish tasks, like cleaning. I also need the teeth strength since some of my teeth have weakened due to fear of dentist and poor oral hygiene as a child. 

You can purchase a box of Green Tea Hawaii using the link above.

The Weight Loss and Detox Secret Book Review: Green Smoothies (Tomoson)


This post contain Amazon Affiliate Links and Images



I read Green Smoothies: The Weight Loss & Detox Secret: 50 Recipes for a Healthy Diet (Special Diet Cookbooks & Vegetarian Recipes Collection Book 3)by Jonathan Vine, in exchange for honest review from Tomoson. I wanted to read the book since I have started making more smoothies using fruits and veggies, versus ice cream and root beer. I also started to use more kale and spinach in my blender.Green Smoothies is a great way to "eat" healthier.

Smoothies also do not take long to make. You add some fruit, some veggies, maybe some flax, and water, then mix all the ingredients together in your blender. I also add some truvia or other sugar alternative, if the mix is too bitter or tart. My favorite grocery store, HEB, also started making frozen smoothie starter mixes, such as the green fuel energy mix with apples, grapes, and kale. I buy a combination of frozen fruits, along with the starter mixes, for variety. I also use ice to make the smoothies thicker. Vine also suggested ice as a thickener too.

I have a personal blender, so I don't make more than what I need to. I just add in a few extra minutes to assemble my blender together.

Vine's book presents 50 green smoothie recipes. He first discusses what a green smoothie is. You can include Apples, Berries, Cucumber, Avocado, Kale and Herbs. I never thought about adding Avocado or Cucumber to a smoothie before. He also discusses the health and nutritional benefits of green smoothies.

The first recipe, which stood out was the first recipe: the apple and spinach smoothie. Vine adds ginger, honey, and ice, along with the apples and spinach. The minty avocado has yogurt, avocado, and almond milk.

I also liked the arugula and raspberries; the sweet potato; and spinach and citrus smoothie.

I am definitely adding some new veggies, herbs, and other ingredients to my smoothies from now on.

You can purchase the book on Amazon in Kindle format only.

This post contains Amazon Affiliate Links.



I received The Amazing Miracle Cleanse - Premier Colon Cleanse and Detox Plus Weight Loss - All Natural, Safe ,Gentle , Colon Health and Detoxification Program - Just 2 Caps a Day for 2 Weeks - It Works or You Don't Pay! 30 capsules, in exchange for honest review from Tomoson.

I wanted to review the product because I never done a colon cleanse before. The pills come in clear capsules, filled with brown medicine, which does not taste so great, but the medicine works.

The first time, I took a pill, the effects lasted a few days. I tried a half a capsule, the second times, and the effects were still evident.

I also like how the effects take their time to process. You are not running to and from the bathroom all day long.

You can purchase the product on Amazon. The Miracle Cleanse is prime-eligible.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Slender Cleanse and Garcinia Cambogia Review (Tomoson)

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. This post contains Amazon Affiliate Links. 





I received Garcinia Cambogia Advanced AND Slender Cleanse Advanced- ***Don't Be Fooled...Garcinia Alone DOES NOT COMPARE TO THIS Fast Weight Loss Appetite Suppressant SYSTEM - 2 Best Selling Products For The Price of 1! - Lose Weight and Burn Fat FASTER Than With Any 1 Product On Amazon - NEW VALUE-PACK PRICING! - MONEY BACK GUARANTEE (Bundle), in exchange for honest review from Tomoson.

Both products help weight loss. I wanted to review the products because I started back exercising to get in shape again. Plus, the family has a cruise in August and I don't want to buy any new bathing suits. Both products you take prior to eating food.

The Garcinia had a pleasant, mediciney taste. According to Amazon, the product has no fillers, binders, and artificial ingredients. The product also helped with bowl movements. The pills help reduce fat and suppress appetite and cravings.

The slender cleanse also helps with weight loss and helps improve energy. The taste was not pleasant, but I pressed on and tried to take the pills every day.  I was a little nauseated after taking the pills. The product also helps cleanse the colon. You take one capsule per day, an half-hour before eating.

For me, I learned to take the pills when I first wake up. By the time, I get the kids up and out the door, it is way past time to workout and eat for the day. You can buy the pills together on Amazon. The products are prime-eligible.

Disclaimer: This post contains Amazon Affiliate Links.


I received Yacon Syrup - 100% Pure Yacon Syrup - Metabolism Booster - All Natural We ight Loss Yacon Syrup - Raw Yacon Syrup -8 fl oz, in exchange for honest review from Business to Blogger. The product was developed by Quality Encapsulations.

I wanted to review the product because it was a natural source of pre-biotics. The product also contains no milk, eggs, shell fish, peanuts, soy, and gluten. The syrup also has no sodium cholesterol, protein, or fat.

Yacon Syrup is also a dietary supplement, which tastes like chocolate. You are to take 3 teaspoons a day. You can cook with it. Use it as a sugar substitute, or eat it alone.



Benefits of Yacon Syrup (According to Amazon)

For me, the other benefits was the product helped relieve gas and helped move your bowels. I have been using Yacon Syrup for a few weeks now and I love it.

Skinny Jane Review and Contest (Tomoson)

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

I reviewed Skinny Jane Weight Loss products, in exchange for honest review from Tomoson. I received a week supply.

The package came with shakes mixes (vanilla, chocolate, strawberry); cleanse pills; and burn pills.

About the Products:


  1. Skinny Blend is the weight-loss shakes. The shakes contain a blend of 7 proteins, which helps control appetite. One serving contains 100 calories; 1 gram of sugar; 3 grams of fiber; 12 grams of protein
  2. Skinny Burn helps fat burn. Skinny Burn contains 9 ingredients, which speeds up metabolism, boosts energy, and controls appetite 
  3. Skinny Cleanse helps remove toxins and impurities from your body.

My Review:


I just finished my week yesterday. Kept running out of milk to make the shakes with.

The shakes are excellent. I probably will buy them again. You can either mix them with milk or blend them in the blender.

The pills: The burn pills and cleanse pills do make you go to the bathroom, which is a good thing. But, the burn pills are mediciney and hard to wash down. Since, I can't swallow pills, I opened them  up and took them like a BC powder. I washed them down quick. The first time, I took a burn pill, I took the powder slow, which made me nauseated. Learned lesson quick. I had no issues with the cleanse.

During the week, I also amped up my diet and exercise routine. I wore the yoga outfit and leg weights, even when cleaning up. The system does not work unless you follow the routines.

You take a burn pill when you first wake up, not after hitting the snooze button a few times. Then, you make a shake a few hours later. The cleanse is taken around 5 to 6 pm. You supplement the pills and shakes with diet and exercise. I didn't lose much, but I lost something.

Fat Loss-All in one start up guide for maximum fat loss book review (tomoson)



I read Fat Loss - All In One Startup Guide For Maximum Fat Loss (Weight Loss, Fat Loss, Health And Fitness) in exchange for honest review from Tomoson. This post contains Amazon Affiliate Links and Images.

The book was written by Joseph Vartas and the book is .99 on Kindle. The book is not offered in paperback.

I wanted to review this book because I struggle with weight. The most I ever been was 225 and the lowest as an adult was 130 lbs. Last week, I was 153 lbs. I been working out with Revolt Fitness for the last few months.

The book started off with discussing why people don't lose fat, like they want to. Two ways include burning more calories than you consume or consuming more calories than you burn. I never counted calories, so I am confused on this concept.  The author also discussed taking your measurements on a regular basis. I do have a tape measure and calipers. I need to start back taking my measurements. You will use your measurements to determine your body fat percentages. The body fat percentages will tell you if you are normal weight, overweight, or obese. When I started exercising, I was in the obese range, but now I am in the overweight range.

Next, the author discussed the difference between losing weight and fat loss. You can lose weight, but not lose fat loss. Everyone's body is different and requires a different method to lose weight and lose fat loss. You may need to burn additional calories or do a low-intensity workout, or even an high intensity workout. I work best with low-intensity, but I also do a few high-intensity every now and then to break up the monotony.

The book also provides do's and don't for fat burning; exercises for fat loss; and frequently asked questions.

Week 7156.2222822321440.523153733

Welcome to week 7. I was a little disappointed last week because I gained weight, but I loss in inches and body fat percentages. I am down to 33% body fat, compared to Week 6. My weight is 156.2 lbs. I don't like gaining, but it could be muscle gain versus fat gain, especially since my body fat percentage changed from 33.43 during week 6 and 33% during week 7. I may increase my weights for next month to 10. Currently, I have 2, 2 lb weights and 2, 5 lb weights. I also may invest in a kettle ball finally. 

I noticed since starting this Revolt Journey, a few other people in my family have decided to try out new things to lose weight. I do wonder if they are safe or not. My mother takes supplements, but does not exercise, unless she does some heavy lifting at work. My niece wrapped saran wrap around her belly, thinking it will sweat away the poundage, but her diet and fitness also has not changed. 

I never taken to any strange diets and exercises before. When I went from 160 something to 130 something a few years ago, I was walking more. I walked to work, over an hour, when I missed the bus. I walked over an hour to a train station if I was bored. I stopped eating a lot of fried foods. I reduced my portion size of foods. I don't like to count calories or weigh food. I also don't have rhythm so Tae bo (Billy Blanks) and Anything with Shaun T. is completely out. That brazilian butt lift commercial looks fun until I saw them doing some combination of latin dances lol. 

Anyway, Let's go week 8.

Ozeri WeightMaster Digital Bathroom Scale with MICROBAN Antimicrobial Product Protection Product Review (Tomoson)

I reviewed the Ozeri Bathroom Scale, in exchange for review from Tomoson.

About Ozeri (paraphrased from Tomoson) (direct material is in italics)
Ozeri manufactures digital products is the first company to incorporate MICROBAN antimicrobial product protection, which hinders odor and stain-causing bacteria. MICROBAN works for the product's lifespan by hindering the growth of bacteria and helps ensure the product is clean.

On a bathroom scale without Microban protection, bacteria can double in number every 20 minutes with frequent skin contact and exposure to moisture. The product also has a blue light feature for easy to read results. It also has slip-resistant material on the outside with impact-resistant tempered glass on the inside. The product also automatically turns off once you step off. Next, the scale uses 3 AAA batteries. The product also comes with a full warranty, just in case you need support.

Product Dimensions: 13.5 x 1 x 14 inches ; 4.7 pounds
Shipping Weight: 7 pounds

One problem I had was installing the batteries. I will explain more in the video below. I was not sure which way they went. The diagram on the back confused me a lot. I finally figured it out later. Felt like a dummy, when I did.

Revolt Fitness Week 3

Revolt Fitness Week 3


Welcome to Week 3 of Revolt Fitness. I been watching my diet this week. I did not do the detox again this week because I have not been to the store yet. I had to make do with food, which was here. 

I also have learned that buying healthier options do not stop other people from using them. For example, I bought two bottles of I can't believe it's not butter so I won't have to use butter. My sister has been using it when she cooks, instead of grabbing a stick or a tub of butter. 

The exercises have not been easy this week. Still tough to do at times. My new evil workout is that pike to plank. OUCH. I finally got my new exercise ball in the mail. I cancelled the old order, got my money back, and then ordered a new one for a few dollars more. I did part of Tuesday's workout yesterday, since week 3 friday was not up yet. I also did part of week 3 friday once the video was posted

Another highlight was my size 13 jeans finally feel comfortable again. The jeans had gotten a little tighter and I could not wear them. I tried them on today and they felt good. Not too loose and not too tight. I also noticed a pair of my old size 10's.  I will fit into them one day. I know it. I keep envisioning myself with a toned butt, thighs, and smaller belly. 

My weight is 155.8. I was 157 in week 2 and 163 in week three. I loss 1.2 pounds from week 2 to 3, with a total of 7.2 pounds. 

Now to those other evil measurements:

FIRST WEEK MEASUREMENTS:
WEIGHT: 163 LBS (my bathroom floor) 160 (my mother bathroom floor).
NECK: 14.75 INCHES
CHEST: 37 INCHES
WAIST: 38 INCHES
HIPS: 40 INCHES
THIGH: 27 INCHES
CALVES: 16 INCHES

3rd week Measurements:
Weight: 155.8 lbs
Neck: 14 inches
Chest: 37 inches
Waist: 36 inches
Hips: 41 inches
Thighs: 22 inches
Calves: 15 inches
