Fataway is a supplement said to specifically target abdominal fat. It is advertised as an appetite suppressant and an energy and metabolic booster. This product is marketed by Dale H. Enterprises and fataway.org which also sell other dietary supplements.

In this review, we shall take a close look at the ingredients included in Fataway to determine its overall effectiveness in promoting weight loss.

Fataway contains the following ingredients: Chromium, ephedrine, Salicylate and caffeine.

Chromium is an essential mineral which occurs naturally in the pancreas. It plays an important role in making blood sugar available to cells as a fuel source. It is not known whether chromium contributes to weight loss although it may help in the prevention of heart disease.

Ephedrine stimulates the metabolism and increases energy levels. It was once a widely used ingredient in weight loss supplements until it was banned by the U.S. Government because of the severe side-effects associated with it. It has made its way back into the market after the ban was lifted in May 2006. Doctors and nutritionists continue to warn dieters to practice extreme caution when using products that contain this element.

Salicylate is an extract taken from white willow bark. It was traditionally used as a mild pain-reliever because it has anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. This extract causes oxidative phosphorylation to disengage, thereby allowing the body to absorb more oxygen and produce more carbon dioxide.

Caffeine is known to give a temporary boost in energy and is not recommended to be consumed excessively on a regular basis. We suggest dieters to find a caffeine-free product instead.

A closer look at the ingredients contained in Fataway shows that it does not have the ability to specifically get rid of belly fat although it may help in overall fat reduction. A better way to achieve fat loss is through the use of a supplement which includes a potent appetite suppressing ingredient such as Hoodia.

Ephedrine and caffeine are two ingredients in Fataway which are both powerful stimulants and are not recommended to be taken daily.

The Fataway website sells numerous weight loss supplements. It may be overwhelming for some to make their way through all the categories for products which range from breast enhancement to anti-aging. Finding information for a particular product on this site can be frustrating. A website which only features a single product is more preferable.

The site does not have testimonials for any of the listed products. There are no studies or research to prove the effectiveness of Fataway posted either. There is a Site Map tab however, which provides links to contact information, health articles and order forms.

Positives

• Contains Chromium

Negatives

• Contains caffeine and ephedrine

Expensive

Fataway is advertised as a product that enhances workouts and specifically eliminates belly fat. However, a close look at its formula shows that it is not that much different from the other typical weight loss supplements. Furthermore it does not utilize any special technology or include any unique ingredient that would allow it to attack fat in the abdomen. It includes the potent stimulant ephedrine which is an element that should be taken with caution. Regular ingestion of this ingredient is not recommended.

For a formula that includes typical weight loss ingredients, we find that Fataway’s retail price of $67.49 to be too high.
