Green Coffee Bean Extract (GCBE) and Garcinia Cambogia

I agree with the 'arrogance' thing. No one really has the right to make someone feel stupid for asking - that is in a way the definition of arrogance - 'don't ask me'. So if you don't want to be asked - then don't answer!

If someone has a useful answer to give directly related to the actual question - have you used GCBE or green mango extract successfully or unsuccessfully - then that would be useful information to the OP.

But hey, never tried it, never will, no magic pill...blah, blah, blah...we all know that permanent weight loss takes more than a 'supplement', but the OP wasn't asking that, so why get on your high horses and charge?

There are a myriad of things one doesn't need to try to know they are useless at best and damaging at most. Diet pills are one of them.

And no, some people don't know that diet pills won't sustain long term weight loss. That's why they ask. That's why we answer. Some who do know will ask anyways, mind made up long before they posit the question. It is most frustrating.

She posted this question in January.

Hey, it's about time she should come back and tell us if the pills worked or not.

But group bullying is not good. If MFP wants to dictate how people should approach their weight loss goals with no room for personal development and discovery, then not so good. Each to their own journey. And don't let someone else's choices, unless proven to be damaging, affect you so much that you end up frustrated on their behalf.

:laugh:

And amazing how the people talking sense (i.e. stating there is no scientific evidence these pills work) all have hundreds or even thousands of posts to their name while those getting shouty and suggesting bullying is taking place are first or second time posters (the same person, I wonder?).

There is a big difference between bullying and people simply stating facts. I would be interested, too, to know how the OP got on. I'm always open to new ideas but have yet to see hard evidence that GCBE works.

Just read about Garcinia Cambogia in a magazine and wondered what everyone thought. If it's a natural herb, what could it hurt? Other than wasting some money if it doesn't work.

Agreed. Nothing wrong with it.. as long as you realize that diet and exercise are the way to go and that supplements are just that, supplements, you are good to go.

Some people want to spend money, some don't.. I use supplements for overall health, ain't nothing wrong with that.

The best diet is raw food. Anybody looking to lose rapid weight in the least amount of time, just eat raw food. Plain and Simple, though you will have to be greatly disciplined to stick to something quite difficult.
You will have to re-train your body and mind to perform such a task. By performing a raw good diet, it should take the average person approx.: 3 to 6 weeks to stop hunger cravings. After this difficult time period, you should no longer feel hungry after eating.

That said, if you cannot perform a raw good diet, then try to stick to vegetables and organic meats/poultry. Stay away from GMO and MSG garbage. They make you addicted to over-eating by way of tricking your system in thinking that you are still hungry where in fact you are not. It greatly delays your system from registering food you eat and so you continue to eat until you feel somewhat satisfied. But by then it's too late and you've consumed too many calories from GMO/MSG infested foods.

Another issue with GMO/MSG, in my opinion, and according to my research, is the type of fat your body produces by these bad substances. This fat is "extremely" difficult for your body to burn/break down, thus you continue building genetically modified fat cells.

By the way Green Coffee Bean by Genesis, I've been taking it for 4 weeks now (3 Bottles of 60 pills) 2 pills before every meal, and I went from a 4 pack to a 6 pack, and coming close to an 8 pack of abs. Though I've been also eating healthy and working out too. I have to admit, it does help in my situation.

Okay, so I searched these supplements and this thread popped up. Of course, I read it. I am 43 years old and having a hell of a time getting back on track. I lost 60 lbs all on my lonesome with diet and exercise many years ago, but have never reached goal weight and gained 20 lbs back. So.....I need help. Why is that such a crime? I logged on just to comment on this thread because it got to me....and reminded me why I stopped being a part of this community.

Would you berate and belittle a smoker using the patch? Some of us need help. As I get older, my metabolism isn't what it used to be. My willpower is weakened. I KNOW supplements aren't magic pills. They are aids. I take vitamins everyday...ya'll gonna beat me up for that too?

Seriously, this is my first post in a couple of years...well, I've lost track, but it's been a long time. It is also probably my last. You guys say you are just being helpful, but a lot of ya'll are actually being mean and sarcastic. It's unfortunate....no, I don't wanna be coddled. And I'm fine with disagreeing. But there is a way to be supportive and honest without being hurtful. Why hasn't the OP come back on to let us know how things went? She probably did what I did and just logged off, never to return. Can't say I blame her. And I will probably only come back to joyfully read the mean responses to my post. Post again? I highly doubt it. But I never say never. I may have to defend myself.
