green coffee beans and raspberry ketone

wrevhn

I wondered what that raspberry ketone stuff was. I thought maybe like yogurt. We got an empty box from Sam's club for kitty, that's what it says on it. I must google now.

Nope, the empty box is what everyone gets that buys it, you just got it for free!!!! Lolz

There is some science behind the hype. BUT...BUT... to get the minimal benefits reported you have to mega dose both ketones and green coffee bean. It makes it unmanagable in the real world, pricey and again for little benefit

I took the green coffee bean extract for a while & lost about 10 pounds before joining MFP, It worked for me, but I stopped taking them because it got a little spendy. My sister started out taking the raspberry ketone & just added the green coffee bean extract, and is doing great with her loss. She is also dieting & exercising, but wasn't seeing results & decided to try the supplements. I am planning on starting both if (when?) I hit a plateau. If you have concerns, I'd suggest discussing it with your dr, but in my opinion they work!

I actually work with a young lady who has lost 20 lbs using these supplements granted the eating well and working out, The question was does anyone use this to help AID in wt loss, not USE ONLY for wt loss.

How do you know it was the supplements that helped and not her diet and fitness routine?

Here's some information for you:

"When given to mice in very high doses (up to 2% of body weight), raspberry ketone has been shown to prevent high-fat-diet-induced elevations in body weight. However, no effects on body weight were observed with doses up to 200 times greater than the estimated intake in humans. The high dose effect is reported to stem from the alteration of lipid metabolism, increasing norepinephrine-induced lipolysis. Although products containing this compound are marketed for weight loss, there is no clinical evidence for this effect in humans."

I thank you very much for your information.. You are very informative, did you do all of this research for me or did you think of taking this yourself, or are you a chemist?

This isn't the first post about raspberry ketones and Dr. Oz on here. There's a lot of information out there on whether or not these supplements are scientifically proven to work or not (and not opinion pieces but real science). I just did a simple google search and reviewed some of the literature a while back and had some things bookmarked. I'm not a chemist, but I'm a scientist nonetheless.

Generally speaking, diet supplements don't work especially not over-the-counter ones. Don't fall for the marketing scams. MFP, however, does work, and it's 100% free. You're much better off just working on eating well and taking care of yourself than trying to speed things along with questionable supplements.

I googled the raspberry ketone and green coffee bean and everything I read about them were good, I only need to loss 15 lbs and I am not in a rush, I feel good and look good. I was actually wanting to find out if anyone on MFP has had experiences with the product. I also work with a person who's had the lap ban and it worked only for 1 1/2 yrs, I was really just curious... Not once did I say I purchased this product. It is truly amazing thou how some of the people on this web site attack a question someone may have on wt loss products. At least a heavy person can loose wt, Ugliness is hard to change, I really do thank you for your information. Good luck to you:happy:

Hello my wallet has become considerable lighter due to Dr. Oz's claims. I have tried 5 of his recommendations. I gave each of them a respective time period (2months). They do not work alone. The only thing that has worked for me is this site. Slow and steady. Accountability for you calories and exercise. Currenyly down 6 lbs in 3.5 weeks. There is one thing that works great for bloating. Mix 1 cup pure cranbery juice with 8 cups water, and drink dailey.

You missed the part where I said "scientifically sound" not an article written by a guru or someone trying to sell a product. It should come either form the primary literature (actual peer-reviewed science) or an article that references primary literature.

I have no idea why you are so incredibly defensive, but you should really take a step back and learn some basics of science and nutrition before believing the crap you read.

Thanks for the insult. Classy to go that low AGAIN in this thread because someone challenges you to think. All you've done by making these digs is make yourself look like a complete fool.

I did not mean that towards you. I am truly thankful for real, I ment the other nasty remarks other people made...

attack?

wow...
so much for being nice.

You seem to be the only one attacking people here.

Wow this has really gotten out of hand, I am not a nasty person, yes I can get offensive at times but I asked only Has anyone used green coffe bean and raspberry ketone to help aid in wt loss, and what is their experience That's it, I did'nt ask about snake oil, ocean front property or anything else, I am done, everyone have a wonderful day and really,m really.... Good luck with your wt loss

I have no experience with the green coffee beans...but I do take the raspberry ketones, since I have cut out sodas and only drink black coffee occasionally the ketones seem to help give the jolt of caffeine that I was getting from the sodas but without all the bad stuff. I love to hear others opinions but since everyone is different and each persons experience is different, I always think its best to try it out for yourself.

I fell in to the "raspberry ketone" trap mid-journey. Took it for a week. All it did was make me burp raspberry.

Diet gimmics are just that, gimmics. The only thing that works long term is eating at a deficit and moving more.

That doesn't sound too bad, better than fish oil burps. :laugh:

I have taken both green coffee bean extract and raspberry ketone and have had a dramatic, speedy weight loss. I really wasn't expecting this much success and I'm very pleased with the results. I still exercise because I like to be toned and fit as well as slim. I don't keep track of how much I weigh, just how my clothes fit. I went down two jean sizes in one week! The brand I used was by "Pure Health". Their website is www.purehealth100.com. I buy mine at Wal-mart. Someone had suggested this brand in a blog after I did not have success with another brand. I'm glad they did, so I'm passing it along!

Hello, I posted some information regarding green coffee bean extract and raspberry ketone. It really depends on the brand, as some brands aren't "real". This was my experience. I hope this is helpful:

I've only tried the green coffee stuff.

Yes, they do work.

The kind I took is with svetol, and nothing else. 200 mg per capsule. Don't go for those kinds with other stuff in them. Those additives do nothing.

Now, it's not going to make you drop tens of pounds automatically. But in the first week of using them, I lost three pounds, finally breaking a plateau I'd been on for a month. Since then, I noticed that I suffer far less for "bad" days. You know those days, where you go to an all you can eat sushi place, and suddenly you're 3000 calories over your daily goal. I find that the green coffee isn't so much a fat melter as a fat blocker. And I guess that's exactly what the product says it does, when it claims it helps hinder your body's ability to absorb carbs. And you know, compared to a lot of other diet stuff, why not give green coffee a try? I get my 30-day supplies from Walmart for $19.99... heck, it was on rollback last I checked, $16.99. Considering how much multivitamins cost a month, that's a bargain if there ever was one. I don't consider green coffee a dietary aid. I consider it a nutritional supplement. Some people take omega 3 and vitamin C tablets for $50 a bottle, I take this.

And you know, in general, let me just say something. No, there is no magic pill. No, you cannot lose any meaningful weight without changing your diet permanently. But don't listen to all these people who so militantly claim "IT'S ALL FAKE, IT'S A SCAM, THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR GOOD NUTRITION AND EXERCISE. PUT THE PEPSI DOWN, GET MILK, GRAB THE MEDICINE BALL JUST LIKE MY GRANDPA ABE, AND SWEAT IT OUT." No. It makes absolutely perfect sense that you can eat something, and that something can help or hinder your metabolism in some way, and give you that little extra nudge. Maybe it helps you lose that extra half a pound to make you feel just a little bit better on the scale, or maybe it bails you out of a bad caloric day just a little bit. Why not go for that? Because "IT'S ALL SNAKE OIL JUST GET THE MEDICINE BALL"? Don't be like that. Yes, much of this stuff is extremely ineffective for the cost. But take it from me: green coffee is inexpensive, and it is effective in managing your weight.
