Question about Raspberry Ketone

I was reading up on raspberry ketone and was wondering what you all think of it. I bought it to start using it but after reading the label, I'm curious. It says that if you have a family history of diabetes (and boy do I ever!) to consult a physician. Now call me lazy but I don't really care to see a doctor just to ask about this herb.

So my question is, should I use it or should I stop being lazy and go see my doctor first?

    I wouldn`t use it... it hasn`t been proven to work at all.

    If you can I would return it... the stuff doesn`t work.

    No human trials. All the animal trial that were successful the rodents were fed significantly larger quantities than you will be taking. Most of the stuff on the shelves contains very small amounts, you'd have to take several bottles at a time to reach an adequate dose to even get close to seeing something happen.

    I personally haven't tried them and I would never admit to knowing anything about them but I did have a friend use them and swear they helped her lose but again, that's my friend's experience.

    If you are going to use any supplements then you should follow the instructions. If it says consult your doctor if....and you have the qualifier then you should consult your doctor before starting the course.

    However I also share the school of thought that you are probably wasting your money on this stuff.:ohwell:

    ETA. The two posters above have lost 100 lbs between them and not a Raspberry Ketone in sight. Great work both of you.

    I have a tiny bottle of it and haven't noticed the slightest difference.

    Anything promoted by Dr Quack Oz has to be suspect. Good old calories in, calories out is the way to lose weight.

    Back in November I bought a bottle of Rasberry Ketones, mainly because it was "promoted by Dr Oz". What a waste of money. The Ketones didn't help me one bit. I think they are a scam!
