Searching the forums here will give you hundreds of responses.

Pills do not work and can be dangerous... even those labelled as all natural. Crap suggested by Dr Oz doesn't work. Don't look for shortcuts.

A calorie deficit is what works for weight loss.

Dr. Oz has a new wonder pill every month.

Log your info into MFP, eat what it tells you to (don't set yourself up for 2lbs per week).. THERE is the magic pill!

Please use your brain and check things out. Dr. Oz is a quack.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambooge#Weight_loss

In late 2012, a United States television personality, Dr. Oz, promoted Garcinia cambogia extract as a "magic" weight-loss aid. Dr. Oz's previous endorsements have often led to a substantial increase in consumer interest in the promoted products. However, clinical trials do not support claims that Garcinia camobogia is an effective weight-loss aid. A meta-analysis found a possible small, short-term weight loss effect (under 1 kilogram). However, side effects—namely hepatotoxicity—led to one preparation being withdrawn from the market.
A 1998 randomized controlled trial looked at the effects of hydroxycitric acid, the purported active ingredient in gambooge, as a potential antiobesity agent in 135 people. The conclusion from this trial was that "Garcinia cambogia failed to produce significant weight loss and fat mass loss beyond that observed with placebo".

Hepatoxicity - chemical-driven liver damage

It doesn't work and can destroy your liver.

Don't take it.

Dr. Oz is a snake oil peddler.

Edit: Sorry if I come off as crass or insensitive. Anytime someone uses the word "magic" you should probably run...unless he's putting on a show. Then bring the kids.

Edit 2: And if that's you in the underwear on your ticker....DAAAAYYUM!
