Raspberry Ketones

Options
What are your thoughts? Do you feel they work...? Are they really healthy for you, not just for weight loss but in general? I bought a bottle but haven't taken them as prescribed on the bottle (2x a day 15 min before meals) but I was just curious on everyones take on the these things...Ive done some research and haven't found much negativity on the subject. Thoughts?

    no no no no no

    you produce ketones when you are on a low carb, high fat diet. you create them when your body digests EFAs.

    why pay for expensive ketones? stupid. Eat fat (EFAs) make ketones. Eating them will not increase your metabolism. If you are on a high fat diet your metabolism will become faster, but ketones have nothing to do with it. EFAs are essential for hormone health. Healthy hormones = great metabolism and increased ease of body fat burn.

    The only thing these may have benefited was overfed lab rats. I don't think any studies have been done on humans.

    Hello there!

    Raspberry Keytones are proven to reduce lipogenesis in rats fed a high fat hypercaloric diet. This is not even remotely similar to fat loss in humans. Please save your money.

    Lastly, you look great and I can very clearly see that you are not an over fed rat. Also I'm just trying to help and I'm not personally attacking you. Have a great evening and I hope I saved you some money.

    I have been taking them. It kind of curbs your appetite and gives you energy. I havent lost much so dont think they are as good as they say they are.

    Do you have anything to back up that high fat diets increase metabolism?

    Per Doctor Oz they are safe if you buy them from a reputable company. I have been using them as well as Green Coffee Bean extract, and they seem to be working for me. I feel like I'm losing a little more than I would normally...

    This topic is appearing a lot in the forums. Do a search on Raspberry Ketones and you'll find a ton of comments, some pro, mostly con about it.

    Just for the record, I dont use them.

    Along those lines, it would probably be best to only buy the exact brand recommended by Dr. Oz. That's the only way to be sure.
