consumer tips for burning body fat and building muscle.
Anthony@BBC News Investigates the top Australia diet trends of 2009 to find out for herself if these new diets work.
Sydney - How do actors for action and superhero movies get so ripped prior to filming? While we were unable to confirm these reports independently, rumors are flying across the blog-world saying that the secret "Hollywood Workout" is really just free trial supplements, available from two different companies, Acai PureUltra and Cleanse Ultra.
It doesn't involve expensive protein shakes, creatine supplements, HGH or, forbid steroids. Instead, this trick revolves around a unique combination of natural bio-engineered supplements that have reportedly given men both old and young, slim or overweight, results they'd never thought possible.
While researching for this article, we came across Michael Blair a popular Australian blogger from Sydney who wrote about his experiences with these two supplements. Michael goes on to explain his personal experience with the product (apparently he went straight home and got the free trials) and posts some pretty impressive before and after pictures on his blog of his beer belly becoming a six-pack. We have included the before/after shots, as they appeared on the blog, below:
What is the Hollywood Workout combo? Michael says, "It involves two free trial products (shipping is only $4.99 for both products) based on an anti-oxidant rich berry from the Brazilian rain forest called Acai (pronounced Ah-Sah-EE)".
Acai has recently been featured in numerous Australian media outlets such as the ABC, Sky News, and The Sydney Morning Herald because of its incredibly high anti-oxidant content. Dr. Perricone, a famous day time talk show host in America, recently rated the acai berry as the "#1 super food in the world".
Michael mentions that “I not only found products that produced a result as good as or better than I would have expected from weight loss fat burning products, but I found out that these supplement companies are desperate for new customers in this recession and are currently offering trials of their products.”
But Michael didn’t stop there—after finding the special trial offers, Michael made use of the kind of ingenuity many Australian consumers have turned to during this recession, and obtained special discount codes that reduce the shipping charges on each of the trials to under $1.99--making it possible to get them both delivered for under $4.99 total.
As Michael describes it, “I was surprised by the results after the first 3 weeks – but once I saw myself after one month, I was completely shocked… I knew I was onto something.”
Most clever, perhaps, is the fact that combining two different trial products, and using them one after another, allowed Michael to get what could effectively be described as a “super fat burning and muscle building ” without costing lots of money.
When we asked Michael more about his discovery, he explained that “The trick is to use TWO trial products that compliment each other TOGETHER to give yourself a body that’s better than you ever could have expected.”
Thank you to Michael for this week’s consumer tip.
Michael has shared his discovery with thousands of people over the internet. If you’re interested in using Michael's supplement combo trick, we’ve provided links and coupon code information below.
Remember, to get results like Michael's, you will want to use BOTH products together. As he explains, "This is key! It took me a month to understand that combining the two products was the secret to the "Hollywood" routine. And taking one in the morning and the other at night really sped up the entire process of weight loss and muscle building." The coupon codes reduce shipping costs to under $4.00 total (as of 6/01/2010):

I saw you on this report, and the timing of this couldn't be better, I'm getting married next month and have been concerned about burning some of my fat. thanks for the tip!
II saw a Sky news report, here in Sydney about this combo on Sky News in . so I got the free combo. I took photos to show how I look before and after using these 2 AMAZING PRODUCTS. Thank you, the girls seem to like my new look, ha ha.
This is amazing! I wish I knew about this before my trip to Spain, glad i found out though!
I think this is what my friend was using to build his muscle so quickly.
I am really at my wits end with my last supplement combo. I thought I couldn't do it anymore, but this sounds like it could be worthwhile.
how long will these trials be avail?
I am very excited about my results so far, I lost 9 kilograms and have more defined chest and stomach muscles. Thank you very much!
I'm using it now and it's working pretty well actually! I'm amazed at how well it is working.
Well, I tried this combo for 16 days now and I am in amazement at how well it is working. I have tried many expensive protein shakes, but this has seriously changed my life. THANKS SOO MUCH!!
