    Does *no one* know how to use the Search feature? <sigh>

    To answer your question, no, they don't work, the only thing getting lighter will be your wallet. If you search, you will find *many* threads on this very subject.

    If it really worked, then why would anyone need to diet and exercise? Guaranteed she had to reduce how much she ate and exercised to lose weight.

    I want to give this a massive 'like'. I think the same thing every time i see this post, which is usually once every couple of days at least.

    Edited to say: Although to save you the trouble OP, i can tell you that the vast majority of people in all of those threads are commenting saying what a load of ineffective waste of money they are :p

    Its all snake oil. Nothing replaces hard work and dedication. There's no quick fixes , theres no easy way out.
    If there was really a pill or combination of pills that ppl could walk into the local drug store and pick up and it would cause weight loss, then why would we all be on here counting calories and working our butts off ?? We'd all just take the magic pill and become thin. But since there's no magic pill, we gotta work for it.

    Nope. It does nothing to help lose weight. It's snake oil.

    If Jennifer Hudson lost weight, it's only because she ate less calories than she burned and it's coincidental that she was using the above products at the same time. There are no magic quick fixes that will help you lose weight, except for a calorie deficit.

    Yes, you do need to do the work. This means making sure you eat less calories than you burn. MFP does have some great tools for this. :)

    You didn't see it on CNN.com. You saw it on a site that was designed to make you think you were on CNN.com like this one: http://www.cnn-exclusivenews.com/mom-sheds-half-her-bodyweight-daughter-nearly-died/#no-back-button

    That said, sure, there are things that can make it easier. For example, I took phen/fen in the 90s before fen was taken off the market for damaging heart valves.
