With RapiDiet, you will achieve safe and rapid weight loss with little discomfort. RapiDiet uses an amino acid tablet supplement known as Growth Hormone Releaser (GHR), a potassium supplement, a daily multi-vitamin, and a 1200-1300 calorie daily diet. Taken before bedtime, GHR burns fat by triggering growth hormones, which then quickens your metabolic rate. In addition, the RapiDiet program uses Synthroid, a thyroid hormone, which also accelerates your metabolic rate. Lose weight safely and rapidly with RapiDiet.
