My personal opinion without even looking up the product is that it's probably just like everything else out there... and I would take it less seriously knowing those 2 endorse it  When celebs get involved and make it seem like it's soooo easy I always just feel like the company is super desperate to get people on board. Nothing worthwhile is ever easy and no quick fix will permanently give us the bodies and above all, the health we truly want... but that is just me!!!

Seems worth looking into, after checking out the GNC site, the products don't seem to be selling a get fit quick dream.
There seems to be a fat burner, a lemon-based cleanse, a metabolic detox starter. All products seem be encouraged along with a healthy balance diet. The article I just read in Intouch, the grils seem to be working out 5 days a weeks and eating pretty healthy.
hmmmm....

sounds like bunk to me. you don't need 'products' of any kind to lose fat.
all you need is buy less food which should save you plenty money

It's crap. We got it in a few days ago at my store and had the typical flood of women rush in to buy it (they're charging up the nose for it, as per usual). Anyway we've already got some returned - one lady told me it made her barf at work, another told me it made her want to fall asleep, one told me it just doesn't work.
Who is Kim Kardash-whatever, anyway? I don't have cable anymore and I suspect that's the reason why I'm the only one not privy to her, lol. Didn't she make a sex tape or something?

Fat burner = stimulant/appetite suppressant. Most people have enough fat to lose that they have plenty of room to eat properly. Eat properly and you likely won't need a stimulant or appetite suppressant.
Cleanses and detoxes are primarily fiber and diuretics. Guess what happens when you eat your fruits and veggies and cut out processed foods? Unless you're eating something that makes you bloat, you'll lose the same "magic" 5-10 pounds of WATER (not fat) weight you would have lost during the cleanse. Discontinue the use of the detox/cleanse product and the water will come back unless you've changed your eating habits.

I do use fatburners when cutting, but not for nothing, I'd never use something endorsed by people with physiques like that!  Not impressed.

^^^yes!!... So when she was on the cover of Fitness I was concerned, when she came out with a fat burner, I'm afraid! She had a whole section on her 'routine'- long story short, I was not impressed. I don't think that she is by any means 'fit' and I would defiantly not pay money for a fatburner she endorses. IMO

I was just curious if anyone had tried this at all? and had any success? Iwas looking at the detox just as something to get me started. I would like to find something to help me get a jumpstart and lose a quick 5 pounds or so... any suggestions?

The best way to "detox" is not with a supp, but rather with a regimen of whole foods, healthy eating, lots of antioxidants/vitamins/minerals (via fruits and veggies), and drinking tons of water. It's cheaper and healthier
As for the weight loss aspect, just eat less calories than you burn  Also cheaper and healthier!
