Did TRIMSPA Hold Weight For Anna Nicole?

Anna Nicole Smith in front of Trim Spa billboardTRIMSPA, the company pimped by Anna Nicole Smith and credited for her spectacular weight loss, is claiming that their former spokesmodel used human growth hormone only for its anti-aging properties, even though it was described by Chief Medical Examiner Joshua Perper as a "longevity/weight reducing medication."

In a statement to TMZ, TRIMPSA claims they spoke with Howard K. Stern yesterday, who told them, "Smith took human growth hormone since 1999 or 2000," but added that the hormone was used for its anti-aging properties -- not its slimming effects -- which are said to influence the metabolism of proteins, carbs and lipids.

In addition to Anna's fondness for HGH, she also indulged in another weight loss product -- Slim-Fast. The Broward County Medical Examiner stated that they found the diet drink on her nightstand in the Hard Rock Hotel room where she died, and TMZ memorably obtained exclusive photos of several cans of Slim-Fast and a family-sized bottle of methadone in Anna's Bahamian mini-fridge.

31. I can't stand Alex either, notice how he isn't around the talk show circuit anymore. You'll see...pretty soon you'll see him going against Anna and Howard.

32. Howard said he has nothing. I hear He and Anna has a house in California in both Their names.

33. She may have been close to 180 pounds but she was 5' 11".
You have to take into account a woman's height before you decide that most hot women look best weighing 120 pounds. I read that she was crash dieting since giving birth which isn't healthy at all. If she ate properly she might not have od'ed like she did.

34. That doesn't change the FACT that growth hormone does help with weight loss and giving one that muscular ripped look. Believe me bodybuilders do not use it for anti-aging. So with that in mind it did have an effect on her weight loss and her loss was aided by something other than Trim Spa. What about the Slim Fast that was found on her night stand and also in a pic of the fridge ? Oh yea thats right it wasn't hers. That pencil neck Stern must have been using it. Give me a break ! I think it matters because it is just one more DRUG that she pumped into her body. It is also injected so it may be the one that caused the infection. Stern's lawyer said that Anna would often inject herself. Oh that's good. Let an ex addict who is wacked out of her gord inject herself. Smart Move. I believe she did inject herself and was wacked out and dropped the needle, picked it up and used it anyway. That is how the bodybuilder with the world's largest arms got an infection requiring surgery on his arm. The question is why are they allowing someone in that state to inject herself. Oh that's right she wasn't high, but didn't someone say she used to drink the Chloral Hydrate at times. So they knew. Knew and let it happen. I think it is clear that Anna did not love herself. As a result she surronded herself with idiots that wanted to sponge off her. That is exactly the kind of people addicts with low self esteem pick. Why was Anna treated with that type of medication when she was an admitted ex-addict? I am an ex-addict going on 15 years clean and my doc wouldn't give me those type of meds if I paid her double fro them nor would I want them because I know I can't just take one. Once an addict, always an addict. It's like trying to eat one Lays Potato Chip. It can't be done and a trained mental health doctor should know this. Especially one that knows Anna above and beyond being a doctor, patient relationship. They were trusting an ex-addict, who was depressed, and was recently suicidal with taking all kinds of medicne. If Howard was very stupid I might buy it but the guy seems quite the opposite. He seems to be cunning and smart. If he really loved her he would know EXACTLY WHAT SHE TOOK, WHEN SHE TOOK IT AND HOW MUCH. He would have also taken her to a hospital with a 105 fever no matter what she said or thought. She was in no condition to argue.

35. CHECK OUT THE POLL RESULTS. Drugs... so sad.

36. #15 - You are an ass, the woman was almost 6 feet tall and just had a baby. Her methods of weightloss were anything but safe and non-lethal. The fact that she was on all those downers also kept her heart rate from probably ever even reaching 50 and made it even more difficult to lose weight

39. People People People - Howard may not be a great guy, but he probably kept Anna alive longer than she would have been if he had not been around. She was a druggie long before he came along. You can't make someone take drugs and you can't make someone stop taking drugs. Period.

40. Howard is raking in the dough at: www.annanicole.com he is selling "Anna Gear" such as posters, t-shirts, etc. There is even a Comic Strip! But it's not funny!
There is no loving tribute to Anna! His cash cow is dead, but he is selliing souvenirs.

The comic strip is in very bad taste. www.annanicole.com

I know what he will say: "It is what Anna wanted" .... oh yeah she wanted to be dead and have him taking in all the money. Yeah right.

41. I firmly believe Anna initially lost her excess weight using TrimSpa. I've lost a significant amount of weight with this product and I have several friends that have done the same. TrimSpa is a GREAT product, and after the birth of the baby perhaps Anna just needed a little extra help with the Slimfast.

42. TrimSpa CEO Alex Goen is nothing but a carpet bagger selling snake oil

He had the nerve to go on national TV and said.......that the photo of slim fast in ANS fridge (taken 1 day after she died)....was planted, yea, what a joke.

I guess the can of slim fast beside ANS death bed was planted too, and not a single Trimspa tablet was found in ANS entire hotel room....go figure

Trimspa is garbage, it doesn't work, ANS never used it, don't buy it !

43. Women try many diets.

Also...she had an addictive personality, so if she liked the taste of Slim Fast, I'm sure it became part of her pantry. It's not a total insult against Trim Spa if she happened to like another diet drink. (also...isn't Slim Fast easier to get?)

44. Ohbig Deal, she had SlimfAst in her fridge...it was probably just for maintaining that slim TrimSpa body, and beside, it taste good!

45. Trimspa needs to move on. It's getting really old listening to their President babble on. He picked a spokesperson who used SlimFast, Drugs, and let's hope some Trimspa. But their spokesperson wasn't a good role model----using drugs, period, sent a bad message. They need to find a role model for a spokesperson and move on. And stop talking----no one is buying it anymore.
