Has anyone tried acai berry capsules or capsiplex and do either do anything?

    I haven't tried those personally but a few friends of mine have. They didn't do a thing.

    The capsiplex gave terrible heartburn to those I know who have tried it.

    If you want a good combination of stimulant and appetite suppressant (the two major components of most diet aids), try black coffee with a little cinnamon. Not only will it help with appetite and give you more energy, it'll come with some potassium and iron as well. And it's cheap.

    tazo green tea. i drink a couple of cups of these babies and i'm golden; it just makes you feel full... not to mention it has lots of stuff that's good for you. make sure it's the tazo! i've drank some i-don't-know-what off brand and it never did the trick. but when i switched jobs--where more than half the employees are asian--and drank the good stuff, i'm like "food is ew right now".

    oh and hoodia supplements is good too. i took that stuff when i did the lemonade/master cleanse and it did well to keep the hunger pangs at bay. *NOT SAYING TO DO THE CLEANSE* IT SHRANK MY STOMACH BUT THE WEIGHT WAS BACK ON IN LIKE 2 DAYS AND I STRETCHED MY SWEET BELLY OUT IN NO TIME.

    :)
  • Mmm black coffee and cinnamon sounds delish! Deffo gonna give that a try :-)
