Has anyone heard of this product? If so, have you tried it? I recently started a ketogenic lifestyle.

    It sounds like yet another MLM scam. :-1:

    What a stupid name for a product. Jeez.

    I have not, so I googled, and it seems this product is basically supplements that you take three times a day to force your body into ketosis. Frankly, it doesn't seem worth it to me, as from what I understand of ketosis (which I will admit is limited), the carb count is something you really need to watch in order to stay in that state. I would think that trying to go from supplements to just managing with diet would be counterproductive, and there is probably a better (and cheaper) way to get there that will help you develop the knowledge about that way of eating that would be useful in the long run.

    I would recommend checking out these two groups, we have some long-term keto dieters here on MFP who are very knowledgable:

    This is a another hoax. I cant believe how many people come up with these ideas. Is it because they think its too hard to count calories? What is it????

    Thanks everyone for their candid input. I've been eating ketogenic since 9-1-15 and went into ketosis 9-21. Yes, I pee'd on a stick lol...
    Since 9-1 I have lost 20.6 pounds. It's like melting butter...I have started exercising 3 x week for about the past 5 weeks. I log all my food everyday and I've almost reversed my T2D!! I figured this was a "too good to be true" thing. Just wanted some honest feed back. Thanks!

    My niece reps the product and her parents take it. The results I have seen are amazing. My only concern are long term heath risks. I know they tested it but a lot of products that have more rigorous testing are rife with health problems. The ambulance chaser lawyers are out in spades on meds approved by the fda only to get pulled a year or so later. I am playing the wait and see approach. Anything that forces your body into a state worries me a bit.

    I am extremely happy it has worked for you.

    Google search yields all hype and advertising, including trying to get people to sell the stuff, and zero info.

    What is in it, what does it do? There isn't even a Wiki page? Yet there are Reddit posts on it going back two years?

    Scratch that last bit, that might be a Redditor's idea of a good forum name and unrelated. Still, if anyone has any real info, how about you post it in this thread today? I want ingredient lists and what the stuff is supposed to do.

    No offense meant, honestly....but it concerns me that this OP is doing this diet given that it seems she is a nurse. A low carb/keto diet is fine, but no need to add this kind of unchecked supplement. And I guess it bothers me more that a nurse believes it is this med and plan that is causing the weight loss and the reduction in T2D...and not the caloric deficit, etc.

    It would seem from her update that she didn't actually take it:

    The product throws your body into ketosis. If you fall out of ketosis you can take a supplement and be back in ketosis in about an hour.

    They have a 10 day program that has an eating plan. A 30 day supply runs about 100 bucks.

    And how does it do that and what are the ingredients in it? Actually, in all the products, I believe there are several.

    I didn't take her comment the way you did. I took it as she figured it was too good to be true, but that she got all these successes, etc. So, I assumed she did take it with her keto diet. I still stand by the comment that someone who is a medical professional isn't aware of the water weight and that it is the caloric deficit that got the job done. I guess I have higher expectations, but I realize I shouldn't. Nurses, doctors, scientists all struggle with weight too and can want to believe just like the rest of us.

    Where did she say anything about water weight or that it wasn't the result of calorie deficit? She says she's been exercising, logging her food, and eating a keto diet. She's lost 20 lbs so far and improved her health. Good for her.

    OP, congrats on your loss, I wish you continuing success.

    I don't know what the ingredients are or how it triggers ketosis. One of the reasons why I have not tried it.

    Alrighty, just was hoping someone who did know would cruise by and post that info. It seems like some fairly elusive info unless I want to deal with their websites and promo videos. I don't. Thanks anyway.

    As someone who is actually using the product (unlike some of the people who have chosen to comment but know nothing about it), this product does work. Yes, it is sold via direct marketing which is not a scam but simply a way to distribute the product. I have never felt better with more energy than I've had in years and the weight is coming off. There is a plan to follow which makes it very easy to stick to.
    There are numerous videos available that explain the science and how it works if you want to look into it. This product was developed over 4 years as a result of research into something totally unrelated to weight loss. Weight loss was found to be a side effect of the product that was being developed to treat brain injury and brain related illness. If you want to research it for yourself, as I would encourage anyone to do before choosing to buy or not buy, go to this website and watch the videos. Watch the videos by Dr. Winterton or Dr. Hack and see what they say. http:lynnejurgens.fgxpress.com.
    Yes, there are other ways to lose weight, and I've tried many of them and most did nothing for me. This is a viable alternative. Some of you may not need this as you have obviously found something else that works for you and that's great, but don't poo-poo something that could actually help someone else, especially if you know nothing about it. I am not trying to sell anyone here, just trying to clarify some misconceptions.

    It's nothing more than an approach to calorie deficit. This is just their "specialized" approach and it's doesn't discount the fact that WITHOUT a calorie deficit, no diet for weight loss will work.
    As for research, chemotherapy is used to treat cancer, but for many a side effect is weight loss. Does that mean someone should use it as weight loss assistance?
    What is disturbing here is that professionals in health care may be ambivalent to information given out by people who are very well informed on weight loss and go with people who focus more on naivety of people who may be desperate to lose fast.
    That's not to say that some programs are better for those who may have health issues, but for the general public, the diet industry is full of "the best program ever" weight loss programs that are just rehashed versions of something that's been around for decades.
