Hi there! Has anyone here tried weight loss supplements? There seem to be so many on the market at the moment, but do they really work? Not wanting to spend a small fortune on supplements if they're not going to work!

    Nope. I take supplements (a multi-vitamin, turmeric, and a probiotic) but I don't rely on anything but my calories for weight loss.

    Pills would mostly be diuretics and/or laxatives, with no real weight loss properties, besides losing water weight and cleaning your wallet. If there was an efficient pill, trust me everyone would be super lean.

    If I were you, I wouldn't even acknowledge them.

    I have been using Garcinia Cambodia and it has definitely helped to curve my appetite, don't get me wrong I am working out at least three times a week sticking to a 1200 cal diet, but have definitely not minded having a bit of help with my hunger pains. Its really worked for me.

    I tried a couple different weight loss supplements--they cost a lot of money and when I stopped taking them, it didn't affect my weightloss/gain at all.

    Don't waste your money...seriously...it may seem like a good way to jump-start weightloss or get through a plateau, but it really doesn't help...and I really wish I could have my hundreds of dollars back to spend on other more useful things...like the elliptical I just bought on my credit card :(
