Lepti Burn question

donjtomasco

Please don't close this thread, it is not a product endorsement.

Does anyone know of or have any experience in taking "BioTrust LeptiBurn" supplements? Any positive or negative comments or opinions?

I really trust the people in this forum.....

Last year, on my 12 week weight loss plan, I hit a plateau and read about leapt, found this product and bought some. I can't tell in my 2015 weight loss graph when I started taking it, so I can't look back to see if there was a correlation to my ultimately hitting my 12 week weight loss goal, or if I would have grinded my way through that plateau without the supplement, which I imagine I would have.

Personally I have never thought much about supplements of any kind, and that was my first ever purchase of supplements of any sort ever. So I had lot's left over and decided to take them starting this past Monday, when I started my new program. I don't feel better or worse, and my weight loss this first week ties in exactly to my first week weight loss in 2015 and 2013. Obviously I am a little anal about record keeping. So, I am not losing any more weight in this first week (which is too soon to make any judgement anyway) so I can't say the pills are helping or hurting.

Just wanting to know others thoughts on this product, or supplements in general, comments on "LEPTI" and how it actually works in our bodies, and what you do when you hit a plateau. I am sure I will hit one again, and I remember that it was very frustrating when all of a sudden I was flat lining on my weight loss.

Thank you.

Wow. Well I can see how I guess I was so desperate last year when I plateud that I failed to see the side effects and read all the reviews, particularly from WEB M.D. I am throwing away the rest of my supplements.

If anyone likes any particular one, of if you think they are all bunk, please comment away....

what does "Sorry All woo...." mean?

It means it's total rubbish and it doesn't work.

Come on. If there was a magic pill that made you lose weight, do you think anyone would be fat?

donjtomasco

Did not mean to ruffle your feathers misskarne, it was not advertised as a weight loss pill. But well done on a great generality.

I think its a good idea to toss these in the trash. Sorry but these weight loss products do not work and can be harmful. To lose weight, just eat at a calorie deficit no pills needed

I think it's been proven that we can't change leptin levels by taking a supplement.

Leptin helps us regulate appetite. When someone is obese, they become leptin resistant, therefore have less of an ability to detect satiety, which leads to over eating. When we diet, our leptin levels lower, increasing hunger.

Anyway, I'm the worst at science and I know that is all very basic but from what I understand leptin is a digestible protein that doesn't enter the blood stream, so if you take a supplement your body would just break it up.

LeptiBurn doesn't seem to contain leptin at all - probably for good reason. If it did contain leptin directly, it would have to be an artificial product since you can't get it from an herbal source, and that would mean it would be FDA regulated as a drug, not an herbal supplement. Supplements are basically unregulated as long as they haven't yet been proven to harm users. Drugs need to be actively proven safe and effective.

LeptiBurn is just a mix of herbs alleged to have weight loss properties - although since basically none of them have been tested for safety or efficacy, my guess is that like 99% of the alternative medicine market, it's an expensive placebo.

Right, I started typing out that these supplements don't even contain leptin but just...erased it for some reason. Because I'm lazy. Thanks haha.
