Has anyone tried garcinia cambogia? I saw it on dr oz but I wanted to see if anyone has had any results using it.

    Dr. Oz will sell anything to make a buck. It will result in your wallet being lighter.

    Nope, there is no scientific or medical proof that it works.

    I wouldn't bother as this clearly is some marketing to sell miracle weight loss pills to people who don't want to do anything to lose weight.

    Yes, it works. it maximizes results from your diet and exercise and certainly suppresses appetite and sugar cravings

    I started taking Natura Best that I got from Amazon 2 days ago. I take it before lunch & dinner since I have Shakeology for breakfast and don't need it then. Shakeology has decreased my craving for sweets but I was still having issues overeating even on good food and not losing weight. Since I've taken it I personally feel I eat less and have dropped 3 pounds off in 2 days. I also exercise usually twice a day for 30 minutes doing P90X3 and run. It was crazy why I wasn't losing weight so I wanted to try something. I've never felt "full" before so I figured this might help. Considering this is only the 3rd day I can't say for sure it's working but even if it's a placebo effect i'll take it at this point.

    There is no magic pill. There is no quick fix. If it were that easy, obesity wouldn't be an American epidemic. Fat burners don't burn fat, they're just a stimulant. Colon-cleansing pills don't help you lose fat, they just make you poop.
    Eat in a caloric deficit and exercise (including lifting weights). No one likes the cold, hard, reality that weight loss is hard, and requires dedication.

    This is the current buzz topic that keeps coming up. There are plenty of forum entries for this product already, I suggest that you do a search for the discussions.

    I suspect that you could get the same results from numbing your tummy with peppermint oil. Most proprietary blends contain things like chalk to create the "full" feeling, and that's the only reason why they work.

    Sometimes our bodies are holding onto weight or feeling hungry for a REASON.

    As with all supplements, you should ALWAYS discuss with your doctor before using them. Have they signed off? If not, then I wouldn't go putting money into it before you have a professional opinion intended for you as an individual.

    I saw it on dr oz

    Dr Oz's TV show should be treated as things NOT to do. Simply assume everything he says is a lie and you will have acquired more actual information than if you believed it all.

    Dr. Oz is already off the cambogia and is pushing saffron as the new magic bullet (you know, because the green coffee beans and raspberry ketones didn't work, either) Why jump on his *old* money making train?

    Have you noticed that the people saying it works have no ticker showing any weight loss? Hmmmm.

    In all honesty and I am sure this is what you are looking for...I have tried it for a month last year when I first saw it on Dr. OZ I took 1 before lunch and 1 before dinner and it didnt work the only thing it did was throw my bowel movements out of whack and really upsetted my stomach on somedays. I didnt see any results as in losing weight. It is not worth the money.

    That's called the placebo effect. She's losing from diet and exercise. Not a magic pill.

    Yes I am aware that there is no magic pill or quick fix. I work out 6 days a week (cardio and strength training) and I watch my caloric intake. I was just asking for some information on garcinia cambogia. I also see that ingredient in beverage drinks like Fuze.

    The site I first saw try to sell this stuff STOLE the pictures of a girl that worked very hard for her loss.
    They didn't ask her or anything.
    She never used the product.
    And I'm sure she wasn't the only fake 'success story' (Her success was real, but not with the help of this product)

    So from that alone, I think it's worthless.
    If it really worked, they wouldn't need to steal progress pictures

    Hey All,
    If you want one that works I tried the following Garcinia: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JV0CJQS and it worked well for me. I was doing cardio every morning and dropped 7 pounds in my first week. It typically takes me 3-4 weeks for me to begin seeing results so this was a pleasant surprise. I continued taking it for another 3 weeks and dropped a total of 10 lbs. It works best when you use it to optimize your workout results. You also have to take it about 60 minutes before meals. You can't take it sporadically throughout the day and not work out. You will see minimal results if any. Hope this helps!

    Another person getting results - but no weight loss shown on their ticker :noway: ... save your money!
