I just watched the video clip on this extract from the Dr. OZ show & was curious if anyone has tried it? If so, what were your results & would you recommend it?

I have not tried it, and from everything I've read from past posts about this stuff, and Dr Oz in general, it's a waste of money. Only thing gettin' thinner is your wallet.
Search for it on the boards with the search button up top - countless threads on the stuff. And really, Dr. Oz has a new amazing weight loss secret, trick or food every week. If they really worked, would anyone still be overweight?
Save your money - calorie deficit, exercise, drink water, take rest days, get good sleep. It works.

lol....

Do a search in the forums for this. You'll learn everything you needed to know.

Halfway down are the message boards
Search is a function on the right.
But, I'm gonna say bad idea.0 -
Oh and Dr. Oz is a snake oil salesmen.0

Yet another diet scam - very much like the rage about Acai berries 5 years ago0

Dr Oz is a doctor like I'm a brain surgeon.0

All you need to lose weight is food, in the proper amount. Don't spend money on "magic" potions. The only thing that gets lighter with those is your wallet.0

You lost me at Dr. Oz..........0

Warning: Do not post about "diet pills" on MFP boards. You will see how crazy people get.
But I tried them before I really learned about dieting and fitness and how to actually lose weight successfully. They don't do much. Maybe give you some energy and make you bloat less....and that is just based on how I felt, not science.
So do yourself a favor and use the $10-20 on a clothing item that doesnt fit you right now. Make it your goal to get into them!0 -
Dr. Oz is a doctor about as much as the girl in the photo is a genius...0

Didn't say the people were crazy ... said you will see how crazy people get. posting pictures of ducks shaking your head no isn't great feedback. As much as they are funny. Was just warning her before this thread ends up with 180 posts about how Dr Oz is crazy.0 -
Every time I think of Garcinia, I think of Arsenio.
Which makes me think of this:
And then I start thinking about how Garcinia Cambogia sounds like someplace in Zamunda.
Crazy, yeah?
Not as crazy as taking that stuff and thinking it will help you lose weight. Just sayin.0 -

I'm hoping for funny gifs of things/animals/people saying no. Because it's stating exactly what it should - No.

I just got mine in the mail today. I'm going to try it tomorrow. If you really feel strongly about it you should try it.
I'll let you know how it goes.0 -

1. my duck gif is funny AND great feedback. you are wrong.
2. OP should search first
so are you saying that your sage advice is far better because you were stu.....um, adventurous enough to buy into it?0 -

It does not work on humans.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18729243
The only studies that they have had success with are on rats.

However if you have been taking it - not to worry whilst it will not do anything for you it is safe to take.

Lifestyle changes
Exercise.
Diet + exercise = calorie deficit. That's how weight is lost.
No magic pill. NONE.0 -

I actually fell for it. I took them for about two months I think. Did not do anything for me that I couldn't accomplish through watching my calories. I think I did better once I got rid of them because I wasn't relying on the pill to do anything.
No more magic pills for me!!0 -

I just feel like their are a lot of people on these boards that think everyone should be as educated as them. We were all beginners at one point. I would just rather give feedback that helps someone see the positives or negatives of what they are asking for. And yeah...I think me buying into it a few years back and realizing it was stupid is a lot better of an answer than .gifs. I'm not saying people can't post gifs. I wasn't even calling anyone out until my words got twisted. People go ape **** over certain posts and for whatever reason cannot remember the time they knew nothing about ______ insert topic here.
Sure she could google or search through the posts, but she has posted like 2 times...probably didnt even see the search option.0 -
& with that I say ... peace0

That's why I recommended that she finds the search function. I didn't criticize her for NOT using it. These threads pop up every day, and yes, she might not know that, again why I recommended the search.0 -

lemme stop you there. i dont know a damn thing about Garcialocafuentesbarbados and what it does to people.
but common sense tells me 2 things.
there is no fast-track to weightloss, and any short-term "help" will be met with a world of disappointment when whateer supplement is stopped.
and anything promoted by that lunatic "dr" is an automatic DQ.
theres no need to cite research and science for a thread like this. save that for the "sugar is evil" threads.
this one just gets chalked up to the OP not taking a few seconds of her life to do some research and instead wants to rely on "peoples experiences". i see you posted yours, and while that is great and i applaud you for realizing the truth about the supplement i cant spell, anyone deciding to take something based on the posts of internet strangers should have the internet removed from their home for the safety of them and those around them.
