Just wondering if things like Adios max actually work at all or if they're a waste of time and money
(No patronising comments i'm wondering whether to buy them i'm not yet taking them)

Anybody had any success or bad experiences with them?
thanks :) x

    Waste of money. All of them.

    Unless you particularly enjoy sharting yourself, in which case give Alli a try.

    Some of them work, many are essentially legal scam. If they work, are you gonna take them for the rest of your life? The moment you get off the pills you will balloon again.

    If they worked, wouldn't everyone be thin? No snark, just some logic...

    Just eat right and exercise (yes I know everyone says this) but its the absolute truth.

    There's no magic pill, just hard work. If you want to lose weight, you have to put the work in for it.

    ECA stacks have been figured to increase metabolism by about 100 calories a day. But the side effects are extensive.

    It depends on how one answers the question "do they work?". Many gimmicky diets and pills will initially help you lose weight--either by some effect of the substance itself or my motivating you to stick with a program short-term.

    However, the real definition of "working" is that you keep the weight off for at least two years. By that standard, the answer is a resounding "NO". None of them work. The 2-year failure rate of "diets" and "diet pills" is around 95%.

    Essentially, a six-month weight loss means nothing (even those who lose the "right" way via healthy exercise and lifestyle changes have a 2 yr failure rate of about 60%). It can be hard to keep faith when a friend or relative is boasting about their 20 lb in 5 wks weight loss, but it is pretty certain that they will soon gain it all back and the tortoise will still be chugging along.
