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.

61. I agree with numbers 25 and 27! The way everyone talks, HKS is the devil incarnate! Give me a break. Tho everything he did you may not agree with, I do not believe he met ANS and developed some master plan to "have it all". It really doesn't look as if she had all that much left. Yes, I may be a little gullible, but I believe HKS truly loved both Anna and Daniel and will suffer and miss them the rest of his life. Let him alone and let the two souls of Anna and Daniel rest in peace!

63. For Christ sake, what the hell does it matter what she used to loose the weight.
Anna Nicole Smith is dead!!!!! She lost her weight due to the drugs she was on. Ever see any FAT drug addicts??
As for Trimspa / Slim fast or the rest of the crap on the market, instead of trying for a fast way to loose the weight you have taken years to put on, use common sense, eat less, exercise more and it will come off slowly and healthier for you.
I know what I am talking about, because I used to work in the "weight loss" industry, and trust me, none of it works without changing your habits and then afterwards instead of you getting the credit for eating better and less food and exercising, all the credit will go to the "product" you were duped into using and paying big $$ for.. Wake up people.

64. I hope TrimSpa goes out of business over this! It doesn't work! I also hope HKS is sued over his statements about TrimSpa!

65. STOP IT!!! All your nasty comments about Howard. Why? Is Virgie a saint? Is Phony Larry a saint? Anna got away from BOTH of them, but stayed with Howard.

I'm glad to see his attorney is going to file defamation of character suits against these people who are calling him a murderer, etc. Long time coming. I wish they could reach out to you people too. YOu are all nasty.

66. Hi this is ' J " I'm very upset U-Tube has removed my original hunger strike video, therefore
I have no choice but to seek attention through TMZ! I lied when I posted I am to tired to make another video because I was weak from not eating, actually U-TUBE will no longer allow me to post any videos citing violation laws which makes no sense but then again neither does my wanting to seek attention for such a matter, simply because I'd love my hair and body to resemble Sanjaya. I'm guessing U-TUBE felt I might encourage others to begin their own hunger strikes, damn it Howard K Sterns fault I know it !( shh I've been eating in the closet )

68. I'd like to know how someone knew she was on the drug Topomax??? I'd never heard of that before.
Topomax is used for Migraines these days and I'd never heard she was on it. It CAN cause dramatic weight loss but it also has a bounce back effect. Meaning you'll lose weight but it will either stop or come back on. Docs don't use it for bipolar disorder anymore like they did in the 70's. BUT, if you really want to lose weight, go to your MD and tell him you've got migraines. If you can take the side effects, it's a nice drug to lose weight with. (side effects include tingling and numbness in your fingers and toes...confustion and inability to concentrate...some initial stupidity. But they subside after a week or two...and I'm totally serious) I actually HAD migraines and had 30 lbs to lose and my MD put me on it.

I hate it when people make assumptions about what this poor woman was on and/or why.

The bottom line is she's dead. No one cared enough about her to stop her.....or probably if they tried, she pushed them away. She was a grown woman with a LOT of issues. Maybe they THOUGHT they were loving her by letting her do what she wanted to do...which was self destruct.

69. Well I guess one thing we know is she wasn't using Trimspa at the time of her death because there is no mention of anything remotely having to do with Trimspa in any of the testing reports.

I'm sure her hair would tell you how long she was using HGH, or at least to go back as far as her hair is long.

73. ANS's death certificate clearly states she was 71" in length, that is 5'9" folks.

She was not 5'11" as many here are saying. 5'9" and 178lbs, read it and weep.
