    I second the motion. Some people are so quick to bash others, it's ridiculous.

    Maybe it's like PGX? I think there are studies that prove PGX works. Also, I tried Visalus for a while (intolerant to soy I discovered), and it's not that bad. It's easy and not any more expensive than other commercial programs. It wasn't for me, but I can see how it would be good for some.

    On the other hand, there are also some who just want to help newbies so they don't get suckered by worthless diet scams like these. Salespeople peddling diet scams who prey upon other peoples' desperation to lose weight deserve to be "bashed" because they're putting their own profit over other peoples' health.

    but there are equally effective products out there at less than half the cost.

    indeed there are. They're called groceries. You can take the weight off many different ways, but if you want the change to be permanent then you have to change permanently. Are you gonna pop a fiber pill or drink a MR shake for the rest of your life? Or would it be easier and more sustainable to just eat that baked chicken breast with brown rice and steamed veggies?
    Pass me the chicken, please, because I'm playin for keeps!
  • I can tell you for a fact that Skinny Fiber does work, I have been on it for 6 months, nothing replaces eating healthy and exercise, but for someone like me that has back and leg problems it has been a blessing. It doesn't work overnight, or promise too which is why alot of my friends aren't interesed even though I am down 41 pounds in 6 months. People want a quick fix. This is a supplement that slowly rids your body of toxins. It may not be for everyone, and you can do what one person suggested-go out and buy all the ingredients yourself, but for me it is a easy add on to my hectic life, easy to incorporate into my lifestyle. I love it and at 40 years old and having been in a size 16 since High School, and am now in a size 10 and still losing, I am happy that I found it.

    What toxins? Could you please list which specific toxins "skinny fiber" rids your body of, and the process by which that happens?

    Also - joined Jan 13, ticker shows 0 pounds lost, and the user's first and only post extolling the virtues of a particular "supplement". Seems legit.

    Vi shakes use Soy which is a cheap protein. If you switched 2 of your daily meals with any protein shake you'd also lose weight. In the end weight loss is calories in vs calories out, and obviously macro's play a part. You have to remember...weight loss is a multi BILLION dollar industry. It is all about marketing and getting someone to buy a product that they do not need. How it works; make the task seem impossible, then show someone how easy it is IF they buy your product.

    Put a good protein shake inplace, You can make a nice shake for same calories and half the price and litteraly 30 more grams of protein.

    Protein powder + Water + Frozen Fruit = Godly

    Eat Chicken Breast, Brown Rice, Veggies, Fruits, stay away from white breads.

    There's no miracle to losing weight, it's all about calorie deficit, and you will wanna manage your macro's to maintain muscle mass while you lose the weight, because you won't gain any muscle, you have to have calorie surplus to gain muscle, but if you get enough food in you and do resistance training, you will minimize muscle mass loss.

    I have never even heard of this skinny fiber but a little research brings all sorts of red flags.

    Its not new and fiber being used to make you feel fuller has been used for decades. Psyllium husk fiber (the same thing used in Metamucil) was all the rage 10-15 years ago, Glucomannon has shown up in a lot of products lately and the next thing you know, they'll be another fiber supplement.

    Calories in and calories out. There is no easy or magic fix people.

    I started using Skinny Fiber last Monday and lost 3 pounds last week. I bought it off of Amazon for 40 bucks. All the pill does is gives you a feeling of being full so I wasn't eating as much. We will see if it keeps working.

    There is no miracle pill, healthy eating (I hate the word diet) and exercise is the way to go. Some people just need a little boost to help them along the way. For me, it's Skinny Fiber that helps me feel full. It has helped with my cravings and snacking. I feel full faster, so I don't eat as much. I've lost 15 inches all over my body with very little exercise (off and on again) and 14 lbs since Jan. Skinny Fiber has helped me with that journey. Again, what works for one may not work for another. People are going to do what they want to do. Everyone is entitled to their opinions of products. I have a problem with soy protein. One of my coworkers ended up in the hospital with problems from using products with soy protein isolate. But I'm sure someone here will argue tooth and nail about that. Weight loss should be about supporting each other, not bashing which way we choose to lose weight.

    Poop!!!!! it's fiber for Pete's sake! I don't know about you but the last time I checked I get cleansed 24/7. My liver can do it all by itself. All I have to say about this is slimfast and metamucil is cheaper. Just sayin....

    It would be helpful if information here was accurate. I take Skinny Fiber, I love it, I have PCOS and it's working for me. It is not $90 per bottle that is far far from true. you can see about it for yourself risk free because there's a 30 day money back guarantee www.skinnyfiberwithchrissy.com http://www.facebook.com/groups/chrissysnewyearnewyou/

    My too-young-to-know better neice was all about that stuff a while ago and I got on her FB page to tell her it's a scam. I'd sell her some saran wrap and lotion for $90 and we could call it a day. The wrap seller got on the thread to say it works and blah blah blah. I responded, "Yeah, said the person selling it." They blocked me after that. Must be very confident in a product if you can't endorse it other than as a salesperson.
