    LOVE this stuff! I got the Evo-Lean pills that have the raspberry ketones also, and I am extremely happy with the results. I had tried that garcinia cambogia extract before, and it didn't do crap for me even with diet and exercise.

    The length that desperation drives people just boggles my mind. How many times must people be told "MAGIC PILLS" and "DR OZ IS A SHILL" before they actually hear the message?

    Magic pills do not work. Magic pills do not work. Magic pills do not work. MAGIC PILLS DO NOT WORK.

    Dr. Oz is a shill. Dr. Oz is a shill. Dr. Oz is a shill. DR OZ IS A SHILL.

    And lastly, it was NOT and will never BE, the pills that are causing you to lose weight. It is the exercise and eating right.

    There is NO magical formula, no quick trip, and no special supplements that have ever, ever, been proven to cause weight loss.

    Look at the labels on the product. Somewhere on there is "Use with a reduced calorie diet and exercise plan". See that there? THAT is the secret, right there. That's how the manufacturers can get away with selling these products as a weight loss supplement. Because you WILL lose weight IF you exercise and reduce your caloric intake. I could start selling my own version of "diet weight loss pills" that are nothing more than sugar and citric acid, and add that label to it, and YOU WOULD LOSE WEIGHT. And then you'd be all "hey, they worked for me!" No, no they didn't. It was the exercise and calorie reduction. PERIOD.

    :drinker: Couldn't agree more.

    Try not logging into MFP for 2 weeks, not exercising and take the placebo pill. Then come back and tell us about the magical effects of overhyped caffeine tablets.

    After battling being overweight my entire life, I wholeheartedly believe that there is no magic pil, potion or powder. This stuff will not magically make you thin. But making better choices with your eating habits and moving your body more pretty much guarantee results. 16 months ago I weighed 121 pounds more than I do right now. I have not taken a single diet pill, shake, etc. I exercise, a little, but I am not by any means a gym rat. This stuff is a gimmick. Oh, and Dr. Oz is a QUACK

    Magical thinking. Hmm...I get people like that once in a while in my Thai Boxing class. They want to know the 'secret'. Turns out I'm happy to share, but they don't always like the answer: "You want to kick hard? No problem. It takes about 10,000 full power kicks once you learn correct form. Let's get started...say, 500 kicks on the bag with each leg." (They will also be sore for a week.)

    Turns out that some of them will stick to it and pay their dues and get there. However, some people really want to get there without paying their dues. It doesn't work that way. You gotta pay your dues.

    I don't know if they work but like any natural supplement...they almost take at leat a bottle to start working..
    Glucosamin takes 2 months to start seeing results (even written on the bottle)...

    They are natural product and your body needs to treat them and assimilate them first.

    I'm not saying it works or not.

    The kicker here is supposed to be the "chlorogenic acid" any thoughts on that?

    It's also found in coffee (the drink) and tea.

    I think the pills are very helpful for when peoples issues revolve around the amount of food they consume. If you are dieting and excersizing but feeling like you are giving up too much and are always hungry, then the pills can be a lifesaver. I personally do have a bottle of the pills and only take one if I decide to make a 'cheat' meal such as mashed potatoes with chicken and cheese or something. But on normal days that Im eating what im supposed to, I dont feel like I am binging or snacking too much. The pills do work curb your apetite and keep cravings away and keep portions in control which is a lot of peoples weight issues cause. The thing you have to make sure of is to continue eating healthy, and stay at 1200 or more calories a day. As long as your between 12-1400 calories a day and not feeling hungry too often, theres really no reason to take it.

    If there was truly a magic pill that caused weight loss, with no change in diet or exercise, there would be no fat rich people.

    I used to work for a drugstore chain, and we had the "Dr Oz" effect. When he would mention something on his show, we would sell out of that product in short order. He always found all of these quick-fix weight loss supplements that "actually work" because THOSE COMPANIES PAY HIM TO ENDORSE THEIR PRODUCT.

    They have an immediate noticeable dampening effect on my appetite, and I’m someone who can’t drink coffee for the jitters and has a really hard time controlling my food intake. I just don’t feel like eating with these. I recommend them.

    Despite this being a VERY old thread I wanted to throw out a warning. A few years ago I sent away for a "FREE" bottle of Green Coffee extract pills. They put me on an autodeliver and the only way I could stop it was to destroy my credit card. Be very very careful.
