Raspberry ketone!!

Posts: 19
I'm on week 2 of the raspberry ketone and xtreme cleanse tablet diet!!
I'm showing no sign of weight loss or inch loss!
I don't have much of an appetite anyway, so not eating less than usual...but I am drinking water/squash more. But not enough, I'm sure!
I just don't understand why I'm not losing weight, no matter what I do!!
I'm only 5ft (just) and being 11st 10 and a size 14-16 is NOT attractive!

youre not losing because you havent changed your diet. raspberry keytones dont do anything to begin with, but even the bottle says to use with proper diet and exercise
ETA; cleanses are bull too, your kidneys do that for you0 -
You're not losing because there is no magic pills and you've been ripped off. The only thing those pills will help you lose is money. All you need is a sensible deficit, reasonable expectations and the knowledge that there is no quick fix and "diet pill" companies don't get rich by actually manufacturing things that work.0

If you're not eating less you wont lose weight. All raspberry ketones will do is make your bank balance lighter. If there was a miracle way to lose weight Oprah Winfrey would be thinI'm on week 2 of the raspberry ketone and xtreme cleanse tablet diet!!

Are you logging what you eat? are you weighing everything? Are you working to a weight-loss calorie goal set by MFP or one of the many TDEE calculators out there?
If the answer to any of the above is no, you won't see a weight loss regardless of (dubious) supplements.

i am taller than you but started off at around the same weight. I have lost my weight by eating slightly less than I used to and exercising 6 days a week. You need to log as accurately as you can and you will see changes. The raspberry ketones and cleansing tabs are not necessary. The only thing I do buy is protein powders to help with my protein intake, but then again lots of people dont do that either. Good luck you can do this.
question, how do you know when your body has been cleansed? I often wondered that with these detox and cleanser products.0 -

It's a shame you didn't spend your first two years here actually using the site as designed instead of looking for a quick fix.0 -
Because you wasted your money on a stupid product. All you need is a calorie deficit and you'll lose weight.0
-
are you eating at a deficit?I eat twice a day , breakfast and dinner... I force myself to eat donething little during the day too.
I exercise daily.
I don't eat chocolate, don't drink fizzy drink...
chocolate and "fizzy drink" are perfectly fine, only if they force you over your maintenance calorie level will they make you gain weight0 -
I have to asked to be insulted, have i?!
Just because ive not logged my details and used this constantly does NOT mean I've not looked after myself, watched what i eat etc0 -
Ive had a lot of personal problems to desl with in the past 2 years, things id never wish on anyone - so dont judge me0
-
Are you tracking everything you eat?
I eat chocolate. I drink soda. I eat lunch and a snack. I don't take Raspberry Ketones. I exercise daily. I track what I eat.
I find if I under-eat, I'll more than make up the deficit by binging. And if I don't track, I won't even realize that I binged - I don't do it with cake and cookies, it's the third serving at supper and all the kid's leftovers that will put me 1000 calories over for the day.0 -
unfortunately on this site if you take any supplements outside of multivitamins and fish oil you are going to be insulted, certain people dont realize that not everyone has the knowledge of nutrition and weight loss that they do....I have to asked to be insulted, have i?!
Just because ive not logged my details and used this constantly does NOT mean I've not looked after myself, watched what i eat etc
BUT just watching what you eat isnt enough, you need to be sure that you are eating enough not to cause damage, but little enough to lose weight. the only surefire way to do this is by counting calories0 -

Are you tracking your calories? Are you eating in an appropriate calorie deficient?
How many meals a day, chocolate or not, sodas or not, don't matter. The ONLY way to lose weight is to eat less than you burn (but not too little) on a consistent basis. The links people have posted above have tons of great information that will help you on your journey.0 -

No, it's the fact that you're not losing weight and spending money on raspberry ketones that is sending up red flags.
You've gotten a lot of good advice. Pick out some things to try and be consistent with them for three or four months. It's a learning process and an experiment.0 -
OP please do a search on this. You will find all you need to know. Calorie deficit is the only way you are going to lose weight. No fad, pill, or machine is going to lose it for you.0
-
..so not eating less than usual...
Well there is your problem right there. Open your diary.0 -
Besides the unnecessary gif, this is all great info. You don't need pills, and they don't do anything except waste your money as you've seen. Read the above links; it's a great place to start.Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice.

No one is judging you. Throw away the raspberry craptones now. Eat at a calorie deficit, weigh everything you consume, track everything you consume, and the weight will come off.0 -

Hon, no one is judging you. We all have our demons and we all make mistakes. Raspberry ketones are definitely NOT the answer. Please listen to the good people on here. They will tell you exactly what you need to lose weight. It may not be what you want to hear but it's the truth. Plenty of good people and great links on these boards. You can do this!!!!!!!!!!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:0 -
No one is judging but throw away the pills. They don't on you, me or anyone else. Follow a balanced diet, drink lots of water and exercised as much as you can.
I'm sorry for whatever it is you've had to deal with - but the RK won't help you x0 -

No one is insulting you, you're being told that there are no quick fixes and you're getting some excellent advice on how to go about weight loss the right way.
Unless you keep track of what you're eating you'll never know how many calories you're taking in or if you're eating at a reasonable caloric deficit.
Ditch the keytones and the cleanses, educate yourself here, and use the site as it's intended.0 -

Those links will help you. I highly suggest you read them.0 -
I don't eat a lot anyway.. Tea and 1 slice of toast for breakfast.
A small lunch- sometimes
And a small chicken dinner - with either pasta, rice or salad
So I do NOT overeat or eat badly0 -
Track EVERYTHING that goes into your mouth and eat at a deficit. It took me well over a month to be able to visually estimate portion sizes, and some things have WAAAYYY more calories than you'd think, even if they do seem healthy.
And, you didn't mention anything about exercise. I've eaten at a deficit and exercised for 4 months now and I've lost almost 2 stone. It works, trust me. And... if I could go back and tell myself 4 months ago to do something different, it would be to weight train.
Raspberry ketones and cleanses are a rip off- save that money and put it toward a gym membership.0 -

Sounds like VERY carb heavy. If you're anything like me, that much carbs will cause you to bloat out like crazy. Get some more proteins and have protein throughout the day. Add some egg to your breakfast with toast, etc.0 -
you really dont know this unless you are counting calories. i can tell that you are eating more than you think just based on the fact that you havent lost weight. dont come here and ask for help if youre going to disregard the information we give you, which has been proven effective time and time againI don't eat a lot anyway.. Tea and 1 slice of toast for breakfast.
