No. Eat less and move more.

Yes, I'm using it. It helps with hunger and cravings throughout the day. I take one pill in the morning. It REALLY makes a difference if you take it every day. I find if I skip a day it becomes ineffective. I haven't had any side effects, it's not an "energy" pill, so it doesn't stress your body unnecessarily. I've only taken one brand- DietWorks- which is only the caralluma extract, and is so much cheaper than other brands. I get it through drugstore.com. It is very helpful for me.

I've been taking one pill after breakfast and one with dinner. My appetite has gone down so much! At lunch I generally don't finish my meal and I'm a Midwestern girl... an uncleared plate is not a thing! Haha. I'm still able to eat dinner but I don't have cravings throughout the day and have totally cut out snacking. It isn't some kind of miracle or anything, but it has helped me make better choices and has curbed all snacking and after dinner eating.

Science says that there is no difference between it and a placebo. https://examine.com/supplements/caralluma-fimbriata/

Nope. I just use MFP and eat real, delicious food that I like while staying under my daily calorie limit.

There's not a lot of research on it out there, so I'd be careful with it. It does seem to be promising in regards to appetite reduction.

One human intervention (n=62 at baseline, 50 completions) on Caralluma ingestion in overweight persons noted that 1g (made from aerial parts of the plant, 40/60 aqueous/ethanolic extract; 12:1 concentrated extract equivalent to 12g dried plant) was able to induce 2.5% weight loss in 60 days whereas placebo induced 1.2% weight loss when both groups were subject to 'standard weight loss through caloric restriction'.[1] Only waist circumference decreased in a statistically significant manner, while weight and body fat trended towards significance with P values of 0.15 and 0.07; respectively.[1] Final fat loss was 1.2kg in the Caralluma group and 0.2kg in the placebo, and the effects were hypothesized to be through reducing hunger (significant) and the urge to eat (non-significant) with no effect on satiety (feeling of fullness), and Caralluma resulted in a 200kcal deficit while placebo did not, indicating that these effects on fat loss were secondary to compliance to the diet.[1] This study noted 20% decrease in subjective hunger that was causative for an 8% reduction in food.[1]
