Why in the world would anyone take a chance on something like this? Just eat two pounds of lettuce and get the same, much cheaper and safer, effect.
I'm being serious. It's brand new, has side effects and is classified as a "device" - just what I'd want to swallow, cellulose that expands 100 times...so many noes.10 -
I had to look it up, and if the date was 1st April I’d think it was a Fool’s Day hoax!
There are so, so many things wrong with it I can’t even begin to express how I feel about it!
All I will say is that I hope it NEVER gets approved in the UK! 😱6 -

You wouldn’t even need 2 lbs of lettuce. 3 oz of raw spinach will do the trick! It makes me angry that corporations get away with selling this kind of pill. It makes me angrier the human beings insist on taking a pill instead of putting in the hard work to educate themselves on nutrition and exercise.

Don't worry. I can deal with combative. Hey I'm an odd, somewhat slimy underwater thingy

Well this sounds like a new way to throw your money away, personally I liked the pregnant yak urine diet myself but then I am old school.
Disclaimer: Pregnant Yak Urine does not in any way aid weight loss and should not be drunk under any circumstances. I was joking.

Yikes. Yeah, I think I'll stick with my broccoli.3 -
Skip it. Work bottom up on this instead.

It’s also a porcine gelatin capsule! Just in case you, as a vegan, ever changed your mind! 😂4 -

It's absolutely the broccoli for me then!

Right from their website “in conjunction with diet and exercise” “on average people lost 22 pounds in 24 weeks”.
The general weight loss target for most people is 1-2 pounds per week.
For my money, I’d rather eat food, drink water and exercise.
Track what you eat to keep yourself accountable.
Good luck5 -

I think the specific issue is to help people who find it difficult to meet their calorie goal because they feel excessive hunger. So the issue isn't that they're telling people that they won't need to eat food, drink water, and exercise -- this is a tool that is meant to help people who are struggling to do that consistently.

I would respectfully submit, my problem was never with feeling full or not. It was taste, texture, inattentiveness, simple greed, not acknowledging (or possibly even having, lol) an “off” switch.
Same problem a lot of people with bariatric surgery have. The stomach is smaller, but many still feel compelled to eat more than it can contain.
I think that’s the problem for a lot of people, and honestly not sure a pill that will make you feel 25% fuller would make any difference.
Even successfully having lost a lot of weight, that still troubles me, as evidenced by the package of cookie dough I scarfed down the other night.
I think you’d have to be sincerely honest with yourself why you eat, and then why you continue eating before you commit to this. But even to this day, I can’t tell you what makes me tick, so I can imagine it’s equally as hard for others.
It does tickle my sarcastic funny bone, however, to see all the weight loss spam tacked on to the comments for the new wonder pill of the moment.9 -

Excellent points. If you're addressing the wrong problem, you're going to get nowhere.4 -

I had Plenity of watermelon for lunch. Stuffed.8

Yep. That's what I do if I truly end up with a random day where I just feel hungry. It's the same principle, has less ingredients (and no gelatine, I don't do gelatine), and is cheaper.
Dont try to dry-swallow, but drink a nice amount of water with the stuff, though. It expands quickly.0 -

There’s more at the store😝1 -
So I was thinking about this product yesterday.
I wonder if they are just using a byproduct of other manufacturing processes? Like, V8 makes juice, but then what happens to all that leftover cellulose? Did someone here read anything about that? I don't care enough to go Google it, but I'm thinkin', "Wow, what a recycling idea!"3 -
I had to look it up. All I can think is "yikes".2

It looks like the answer to the OPs question is no. No one has taken Plenity ... at least no one who is brave enough to admit it here in the House of Tough Love.10
