Does anyone know if Raspberry Ketones are actually helpful? I am eating healthy and exercising but it is said that this boosts the weight loss. True or is this another crazy weight loss scheme??? I bought one that is all natural and 100mg. I started it yesterday. I appreciate your input!

    Why did you buy it first then ask questions?

    Are you a rat?

    Raspberry ketones (and most other diet pills for that matter) are a complete waste of time and money. Wanna lose weight fast and gain it all back the moment you stop taking them? Waste your money on raspberry ketones. Wanna lose weight PERIOD? Eat healthily and exercise. THAT's the miracle diet formula!!

    Dr Oz actually endorsed the use of raspberry ketones for weight loss on his show (google Dr oz raspberry ketones for the segment of the show video), and yes, while I am aware that many people think he is selling "snake oil", he is actually a quite well respected and renowned cardiologist. That being said, I still am very wary of anything that is sold as "weight loss" products. As far as these were concerned, after researched, I decided, no harm to try these particular supplements. I have taken them for a few months. I don't know that they are really making any difference, as I am also eating correctly and exercising, so would be losing weight anyway. I don't feel like the weight loss is any quicker, and I am not purchasing any more. I wish you luck and success in your journey!

    I've heard people whom havent lifted a finger lose weight with these supplements. I started taking them about a week ago. Haven't lost anything. But I can say I do notice a little bit of energy coming from them combined with the coffee bean extract supplement. I workout 5-6 times a week and figure..why not?

    hmmm you don't know if it works but you bought some? I think your order is reversed here...

    Raspberry ketones do zero for metabolism, get a refund...

    Hi, I have used them as my partner been on them for a while and at my 2nd week of me doing IF 20:4 it helped me and worked but like anything else your body gets used to it and you will reach a plateau. I would say only use it when you reached a plateau with your own training protocol and need a boost to get things going again. For years I used all sorts of supplements that promised the world but delivered minimum results. Only one that works for me is Thermabol by Maximuscle as helps me focus, energises me when training fasted after 20 hours of asting.
    I prefer to invest my money on free range food and stay clean and only use minimum multi vitamin, fish oil, calcium and iron.
    Hope this helps

    I thought about buying them but decided not to. I wish I could say they work but there is no proof they work you just need to forget about them and work hard and eat right girly. There is no harm in trying them out for yourself but don't buy it anymore

    Providing that this thread stays open...

    You're going to get a lot of sarcastic comments or even angry comments. Dr. Oz gets those kinds of reactions on the forums....people either love him or hate him.

    Respected Cardiologist or not. Anything someone gets paid to endorse, I am skeptical :)

    I"d skip it

    No need to be snide. I was only asking a question. Had you asked me a question like that I would have been sweet and considerate. Either way, thanks for your input.
