Has anyone tried garcinia cambogia ? I have heard of this supplement before and watched some YouTube videos on it. I'm wondering if it works.. I'm ALWAYS hungry and this is supposed to help with that....

    We are supposed to be hungry at regular intervals, but not starving. Are you eating enough - quantity AND quality?

    Wanting to eat is something else.

    Save your money, it's a scam.

    Its usage as a fat burner does not appear to extend to humans
    ...Studies in humans, for the most part, fail to replicate this; this may be related to less actual activity of de novo lipogenesis in humans and a much higher level in rats. Some isolated studies do note weight loss, but it appears to be quite variable and unreliable. Many studies also do report subjective appetite decrease, but tend to record dropout rates (how often people leave the study due to being unable to maintain the diet protocol) rather than food intake; even then the benefits are still unreliable and sometimes not present.

    Is that junk still around??! No - magic pills do not work.
