Taking a pill teaches the body nothing about how to eat correctly.

Its a different form of caffeine anyways, the body processes the natural caffeine differently then synthetic caffeine found in most diet pills. I can get you more accuret information if you wish!
That... that's not actually how natural/synthetic works. Caffeine (Trimethylxanthine) is a molecule. The molecule is the same whether a coffee bean uses sunlight and water and dirt to synthesize it, or whether you extract it in a lab with solvents and washes. It will have the exact same effect on your body.
What you're probably thinking of is the other chemicals (vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients) in the capsules. That *can* affect what effect your body has to the caffeine.0 -
Taking ACE for the last two months---but seem to be stuck and not losing any more weight. Anyone have any suggestions
Eat less. Move more.Im on high blood pressure meds, simvastatin for cholesterol, and birth control.....oh, and potassium because of the blood pressure meds.....could i still take ACE?
Ask your prescribing physician?0 -
I've been taking ACE for a couple of weeks now. Within the first week I lost 5 lbs. But now, I've just stopped losing. I eat right, I'm on a 1200-1800 calorie diet. And most days I only make it to 600 calories. I only drink water, and I exercise. But after a total of 11 lbs lost (I had lost 6 lbs before starting ace) I've just stopped. Any suggestions??
When you only eat 600 calories most day you are starving your body. You want to eat about 1200 calories while taking ACE. Don't starve your body!
Even 1200 calories is starving yourself, especially when you are active.0 -
no more.
pls dont misguide people by prescribing directly or indirectly any weight loss product
i have experience of one and i wud only say that on a personal level we shall never recommend any such product to any other
human being. and on a bigger level i think the government should ban the sale, production and use of such products.0 -
That's just it. I don't do everything right. I tend to graze mindlessly and feel hungry even when I know I shouldn't be. Been that way my whole life. At least with Help, I'm not. I don't grab a bag of chips or feel the need to drink a pop. I'm not suggesting this is for everyone....it's whats helped me for the first time in 25 years....I also love the energy it give me and a different mind set. Like I've stated before....I have plenty of issues, I do believe Healthy means the total package, mind, body, spirit.....and I'm working closely with several individuals to get my OTHERS in check...In the mean time, I'd rather not feel depressed about my weight...so I use ACE, and I see results....which give me HOPE. Nothing wrong with that0

i just want to say
that uptil now no weight loss product has been made which can reduce weight and maintain it. like exercise and calorie counting can do.
otherwise we all ABOVE normal weight people would have used it.
i am not talking about any weight loss surgeries.0 -

No...I'm gaining control...learning to live without, creating new habits and patterns. But I probably will always have some on hand because I like the energy ACE provides. Many people have shared that after getting to goal they have maintained for a long time...so far, without taking it on a regular basis. They've created a new Lifestyle....this is MY hope. 44 years of living a certain way is going to take some time to Undo....but at least I'm DOING it now.0

I know not everything works for everyone...or we'd all be doing the Same Things to lose weight and gain optimum health. I've witnessed ACE work on literally Thousands of people, and KNOW many of them personally. When something can help someone lose hundreds of pounds and regain their LIFE, I believe it's a good thing. Now.....anyone who doesn't FOLLOW directions can RUIN a good thing. And that goes for any situation. I BELIEVE 100% in SABA, the company that distributes ACE along with many other wonderful health care related products that come from Natural Sources. I've changed my eating habits, I eat less, I exercise and I drink the water I'm SUPPOSED to drink anyway. I needed help, and I found help.....In ACE. NOTHING wrong with that...and if it helps someone else, then BONUS.
You have witnessed it work on thousands of people ... Really ... So you work for that company directly or indirectly then?
What I'd truely love to see is not people who have started using it, but people who used it, got to a normal weight, and kept the weight off without continuing to use it for a reasonable amount of time.0 -

because no such people exist0 -
I work in an "As Seen on TV Store" and seriously, F*** Dr. Oz and these other "TV doctors" for peddling this stupid weight loss crap. A cheap ingredient in MOST of the diet supplements is ephedrine. Meaning ADRENALINE. Meaning those with heart problems could suffer a heart attack, angina or DIE from taking these pills. Sad thing is, you can warn people until you're blue in the face but a real TV Doctor told them it was cool, so they don't listen to anything anyone has to say otherwise.
Seriously. Just say no. Hugs, not drugs.0 -
It "works better" with lots of water because it's the water doing all the work. Sudden drops in weight aren't fat, they are water. Water in = water out.0

Anecdotal evidence isn't a good way to assess if a product is legit or not. All diet programs have success stories at end goal, but rarely will one ever find one where they are posted after one year or more after goal.
Will you be one of the 10% that actually succeeds? We'll just have to see once you reach goal.

I have just heard about this product and am always skeptical, but have heard good things so far. I have a very under active thyroid and take meds for it daily, I am also active, and eat healthy but can't lose the pounds. I am thinking about trying this to jump start my weight loss, but don't want to be on it forever. If anyone else has some experience with thyroid issues and takes this, please share. Thanks!
try high intensity cardio and strength training along it.0 -
this thread should stay active and all its members.
why dont u guys make a an ace group here on mfp.
because we are curious to know ur progress after a year or after u stop taking the pill.0 -
WOW, that cheap? Will those have vitamin B6 & Spirulina? You DO realize the benefits of spirulina, right? lol I honestly don't want to argue about it. I will do what I will do...Take ACE, log intake and exercise and keep on Re Learning a lifestyle that's gone terrible wrong in so many ways.
I wish EVERYONE Success and Amazing results in whichever way you choose to improve, Progress.
From my heart, God Bless0 -
The key to it is this ....
Redacted from OPs post :
Combined with a reduced calorie diet
FOLKS! Eat well, move a bit more, sleep well ...live life. Rinse. repeat. spend your $ on Food or a good pair of walking shoes.0 -
... I want to cut out crystal light, not sure about it yet. I need flavor in my water....
Try SOBE life waters... They are so good since you said you need something to flavor your water they are zero calorie and have no artificial sweeteners and packed with antioxidants try it I'm sure ull find a flavor you'll love..
Or sqirt a bit of either real lemon or real lime juice into your water. A little goes a long way. (the kind you get in the grocery store in the little plastice lemon to squirt on your fish) It's the sort of multi-use thing to have on hand for adding zing all kinds of heathy cooking.0 -

And spirulina isn't some "magic" substance for health. Health is more dependent on several other factors besides what you eat.
It's obvious you aren't going to be convinced, but hopefully others looking at ACE will read more and understand that it's not needed for weight loss. No pill works without a calorie deficit for weight loss.

I seriously applaud you for continuing to fight the good fight on this one. But, I think the very obviously ACE-employeed woman isn't going to give up until she converts hundreds more to her, er.."their" product. Move along, sheep....move along.0 -
NInerrbuff u are doing a great job!!0

"Natural source of caffeine" hmmm... But does it give mg/mcg of everything or just list what's in it? Because I thought for any herbal supplement they needed to list what's exactly in it.
But no these pills are not bad for you kinda like taking a multivitamin and an energy drink. And the reason and the success stories are out there is let's take me as an example. I have lost over 50 lbs in about 7 months. If I were taking ACE during this time I could of gave ACE the credit but it's really all me.
Oh and I also wanted to add if you are taking other mess please share with your doctor that you are taking ACE.
Best of luck to you!0 -
I DON'T use these pills and have lost 51lbs in 5 months on a 1450 calorie a day diet. Cut back on eating, move more and you will lose weight without spending a small fortune on these. There is no magic pill, guys.0

I just ordered my fist 30 day trial of ACE..it has not arrived yet but can someone please tell me if it actually works. I have lost a total of 30-35lbs and have been stuck since June. I work out 4-5 times a week at the ymca for over an hr after work. I changed my diet a lot but not completely. Please let me know if this can give someone the boost it claims. My short term goal is to loose a little less then 10lbs right now then go from there! Thanks
where did you get the first 30 day trial of ACE?0 -
No, ACE is not a magic pill, BUT it does help the craving! I started taking ACE 9/26/13. I usually crave chocolate and cookies and drink a ton of pop. I started a 1200 calorie a day diet before ACE and it was very hard. Since taking ACE I have not eaten anything sweet or drank any pop. I haven't had the urge too!!!! That's the main reason I LOVE it. I have lost a pound and 2" total. It helps me control my eating, I don't want junk, and it makes me feel great! Now I don't have any trouble following a 1200 calorie diet.0

There are days that I don't take it and I don't go after the junk food. I am a lot better on this plan than any other plans I have ever been on. Even when I have worked out and ate right I never lost any weight, but now I am. They have also improved the formula and took out the DMAA. It now has raspberry ketones that Dr. Oz raves about. This new ACE is going to be awesome!!!! Let me know if you need more information.0

Raspberry ketones do not effect weight loss. So they added another gimmick to their product... speaks tons about how quality this company is. Its just an appetite suppressant. You get the same results with veggies.0 -
