Kim Kardashian, sometime reality TV star, has been in the UK to promote a weight loss product that she has been peddling in the States for some time. The event took place at Westfield Shopping Centre in London. We understand that Kim is a co-defendant in a class action in the US and is being pursued by unhappy users of the QuickTrim weight loss pills. QuickTrim contains high doses of caffeine as far as we can see – so nothing too sophisticated.
The role that caffeine can play in weight loss is disputed. There is some evidence that caffeine assists with thermogenesis but it can also increase stress hormones that can lead to weight gain. High doses of caffeine are really not good for you.
We would be happy to bet good money that Miss Kardashian has never required the assistance of QuickTrim or any other “miraculous” weight loss pill to maintain her figure. The fact that she is getting paid to push this product to her 14 million Twitter followers is pretty disgusting but some people have no shame, as anyone who has ever watched her ridiculous TV show will be able to testify!
