Refirm? ?

Here's the thing...really, whatever it takes to motivate someone to push themselves that little bit further shouldn't be discouraged. If you don't have any health issues that conflict, if the ingredients are safe....more power to you! Do what it takes to motivate yourself and others.

Funny thing is Does anyone REALLY know what's in anything we buy? Vitamins that are supposed to be good for you, do you REALLY know whats in them? No one knows except the people that are the ones that make the stuff. We don't know them from Adam and don't know what they put in them. Some things work for some and some don't. It drives me nuts when all these people act like experts and don't know any more than anyone else. Worry about your own health and life and let other people alone.

You win the pizza!:bigsmile:

I started Refirm a 3 days ago, and maybe I'm using a reformulated version or something, but mine definitely has an appetite suppressant. My problem is sugar craving, and so far with the Refirm I haven't wanted any dessert or unhealthy carbs after I eat my healthy food, which is very new for me. I've also noticed that when I get off of my waitress shift at night, instead of being crazy tired, I have enough energy left to go out for a quick run. As for the nausea, the box does warn that it's possible, but yesterday I discovered that if I drink 6 oz. of water, eat, take the pill, then drink another 6 oz., the nausea goes away all day. Here's my belief about this argument about the effectiveness of diet pills-just opinion from a pharmacist's daughter, not an "expert" in anything. Everyone's body works differently. Just like there's no one birth control, acne treatment or vitamin that's right for everyone, different genes and different environments cause different tissues to respond differently. I think we all know this, but when someone says "OMG, I've been using this or that and it's awesome!" we get sucked in. It's true that the only proven way to lose weight for everyone is to cut calories and work out, but people are different. I took Slimquick for two months because one of my friends lost twenty pounds on it, but I've seen Refirm do more for me in 3 days than Slimquick ever did. What I wish these companies would do is offer a trial sample, like maybe a week. If you're not noticing anything different in a week, it probably won't work for you. And as much as it sucks and is unfair, anything regarding losing weight will be more difficult for women because we're genetically designed to hold on to fat. All I'm saying is that making blanket statements-from the "these are all scams" all the way to "this product will work for everybody" is unfair. BTW, money is one of the biggest motivators around, so if the pressure of dropping a lot of change on a diet pill is what it takes to guilt someone into working out and eating better, whose to say they don't "work"?

Hello everyone,

For a little bit of clarity on the topic, the stuff in ReFirm is designed to help you lose weight but is not designed to do all the work for you. Caffiene that is in refirm, along with yohimbe in the AM Enhanced blend are what cause you to burn more calories. Yes, caffiene stimulates your adrenal gland which increases heart-rate, respiration, and metabolic processes forcing your body to use more calories than normal for daily function. Yohimbe inhibits an enzyme that is designed to stop you from losing weight. Yohimbe alone will not start weight loss, but it is a great tool for keeping weight loss going. Polyphenols (the extract from green tea) have been shown in over 1000 studies in the past 10 years (1/2 of those in the past 2 years) to decrease overall body fat percentage, as well as 4-fold abdominal fat (viseral fat). These studies were done on animals, japanese adults, and overweight american adults (pubmed). There is no such thing as a magic weight loss pill, but if you can use all of these things to your benefit, and supply a little bit of your own effort, you should have good results with weight loss.

I am a premed student and majored in biology. I do alot of extensive research on product ingredients, not products themself. Best of luck to anyone using this product. I lost 22 lbs in 2 months and went from a size 40 waist to 32.

I work in finance with a degree in business. .. I've lost 70 pounds in 8 months from a size 20 to an 11 the good old fashioned way. Exercising and eating properly.

I can tell you.. it's all about marketing and making money. Companies will tell you whatever they think they can get away with in order to wrestle that dollar form your pocket. Don't be fooled.

You want the benefits of green tea? You can get hundreds of green tea bags for less then 5 bucks.

You want to lose weight? Control your eating. Period.

You're right no magic pill.. including this one.

Congratulations on all your weight loss. I was hoping my post was clear in that there is no substitute for diet and exercise, however supplements can help bridge gaps. I encourage you to do your own research with trusted websites like pubmed, a public government scientific research database. Please try not to be so condescending towards pre-med students, I was only trying to convey that I am not an expert in the field, but attempting to give you unbias information. Goodluck again!

I just bought my Refirm Weight Loss Success Packet yesterday and I am VERY excited to see the results that come with it! I have read some great reviews. Unfortunately, it was $199, but the salesman at Complete Nutrition was VERY helpful. I'll try to keep you all updated and we will see how this goes!

$199??? For some green tea pills?

Holy cow. STOP BUYING THESE THINGS.

Humans are so impatient. If they want to waste their money, that's on them. 199 bucks can get a crapload of healthy food that would last my fiance and I a whole month.

So how do you explain my boyfriend's 8lb weightloss? He's not been working out nearly as much as I have. And we eat pretty much the same things.

Water loss?
If you are new to excersize your muscles will store some watert to aide growth/ repair.
If your bf has recently cut down on carbs/ salt alot of his weight loss may just be water and isn't fat.
Also as men tend to have higher metabolism rates they loose weight quicker / easier than womes.

So many things, but it's all speculation. You may eat "pretty much" the same things, but there could be several hundred calories difference in your similar diets. Are you both counting calories? Also, his metabolism is likely higher, being a man, likely taller, and likely weighing more to begin with. One way or another, his calorie deficit is more than yours.

Likely not due to supplements.

I'm afraid I have to agree wholeheartedly with Jonnythan (sp?). There's so very many slippery snake salespeeps out there............honestly.

Before you ask, I have a Masters in Wellness and Alternative Medicine and I have many years of experience with dieting.

Because of my degree, I can tell you that the stakes are high (for the sellers) when it comes to charming folks into buying the latest, greatest, magic bullet. There's an incredible amount of it going on, right now, in the health and wellness industry. Ask me sometime, about the cheerleaders who would come through the door, at the chiropractor clinic where I worked..........there's a LOT of slippery snake charmer sales peeps out there. Best not to believe anyone, because if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is...........:(

I can tell you from experience that there is no magic bullet. The only magic bullet one might find for losing weight, is stumbling upon an approach that works for them as an individual.

I've tried many diets in my day, (including WW, Low-Carb/High Fat/Protein, High-Carb/High Protein/Lowfat, The Zone Diet, The blood type diet, The body type diet, and a gazillion supplements (chromium, cambosia, enzyme, psyllium, guar gum, etc. etc.) you name it, I've tried it.

After awhile, I began to realize that the only true cure for overeating (and thereby gaining excess weight) is to "throw away your TV, move to the country, eat a lot of peaches"........John Prine...........and eat your vegetables! (lol).

Truly, all kidding aside, almost every diet I've ever tried, has at least 5-7 servings of veggies, daily, and only a few servings from the rest of the food pyramid. The diets all started to seem the same, after awhile. That's because they were. Because that's what works. Most of these things you can buy are scams. It's really sad, but true. ............just remember, if it were easy, everyone could do it.

Losing weight is about the hardest addiction a person could ever kick. There's NO magic bullet. You can't quit it cold turkey, like you can other addictions. There's just the slow grind of being alert and aware, each and every day, sometimes, for years, of what goes in, either comes out, or get's stored as fat. It's a type of highly refined personal discipline, really, It's like learning a new skill, and you fake it til' it becomes second nature.

It's hard to accept that in our 'if it's newer, faster, shinier and bigger, then it's surely better" societal mindset. Rather then spending perfectly good (and hard earned) money, on these things, one would be better off investing in some meditation MP3's, or putting that money towards a get-away, someplace.

Anyway, like I said, the only diet that will work long-term, is the one that works for each of us, as individuals. As in most things, there is NO 'one-size-fits-all'. What works for you may not work for me and vis. a versa. The painful truth, however, is that what it always comes down to is: calories in = calories out, (especially if those calories are 'clean') over an extended period of time.

I hate that idea, too, but in my old age, I've come to accept it, only most grudgingly, that's true, but there ya' have it. One of my professors kept saying to me that I was just going to have to, at some point, embrace the crone in me. I told her I already had, in that I was always a creative researcher of new experiences, but I don't really think that's what she meant, lol.

I just started the refirm program so i have no opinion of how it works so far but i don't expect to take it and get results while doing nothing else.This is not supposed to be some magical pill for weight loss! This is a pill to HELP with weight loss as it increases your metabolism and to help tone you. The point is to take it with regular exercise and eating right.

I have been reading most of these on this whole "Refirm" thing, yes I have been interested in this as well and was looking for a price becuase I was going to get some as well, BUT I have to agree with Jonnythan, $199.00 is outragous. I do have some experience with this whole weight loss business since I have been on a constant struggle for 21yrs, having a Thyroid issue and very low metabolism, well I have been working with my doctor, and what it comes down to is exercise and simply watching what you consume. I dont have a lot of money but I started the Weight Watchers Point Plus on my own, just buying the meals at the store and counting points it seems to be working 1-2 pounds per week, and working out 1hr every day. It is NOT healthy to loose weight to fast because you are just going to gain it back. I think the amount they are charging is terrible and in my opinion it is just a way to take advantage of women who are vulnerable when it comes to looking great. And lets face it ladies we do care more about fitting into those skinny clothes than we do about our health. I do wish you all the best of luck if you are buying this, but remember this and take it from someone who has been there, the older you get the harder it is to loose and keep it off, the more you work out, well you gain more mussle and mussle weighs more than fat. Again... Good Luck.

LOL!!! You can either do it the right, sustainable way or you can waste money on gimmicks. You will learn one day, hopefully by then you wont be broke :flowerforyou:
