Weight loss supplements, do they work?

tiffkittyw

Has anyone had any success with any of the following weight loss supplements:
Green Coffee Bean Extract,
Garcinia Gambogia,
Forskolin, or
Calorease (FBCx)

I'm a big Dr. Oz fan if you couldn't tell LOL!

Dr. Oz is a quack and those products don't work.

Didn't he have to retract a lot of his statements on those weight loss pills or he was going to lose his medical license.http://www.techtimes.com/articles/18535/20141023/researchers-retract-claims-on-effectiveness-of-dr-oz-endorsed-green-coffee-bean-weight-loss-diet.htm

As someone who has, embarrassingly, tried all those. No. None of them work. MFP is the only thing that has worked. I will be on here forever.

No.

If they worked dont you think everyone would be using them? They are for the gullible.

Well, that's not the oddest thing I've heard of for 'weight loss'! XD


And yes, Dr. Oz's advice is HORRIBLE. What's sad is that he has gone from a highly respected cardiac doctor and researcher to a TV quack. He apparently got interested in alternate medicine because he believes that getting the mind involved with your health is necessary. While he's correct to a point, he's apparently drifted into promoting supplements and new-age type 'treatments' that have no medical bearing on anything.

The only way to lose weight is to put your body in a calorie deficit.

Those products will do a great job shrinking your wallet, but won't do much for shrinking your waistline.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I wonder if they named it that to make people take a second look.
